EVENING EDITION. which we can find fault." But is there nothing not in it which ought to have been found there ? In refer- 1 rence to that point it says , " We regret this omission , ne m-wsh as any one can, but it is only fair to own tlicit the people are as much to blame for it as Mini *xis ; that the Queen is wholly without fault in the matter, and that. the Protestant character of the ' House of Saxe Cobourg might have been confidently at sorted had circumstances permitted the assertion." Now we ask what are thar, circumstances that did not per nut the assertion of the Protestant character of the l house of Saxe Cobourg? We are told that " the law I of 1829 destroyed the Protestant character of the Con stitution through all its branches." We are also told I that we should not blame the Crown, or the Ministers ofthe Croton, for an omission rendered inevitable by our own act ; that is, by the act of the people as repre sented in the Parliament that passed the ill-advised and most mischievous " Emancipation Act" of the Welling ton and Peel Administration. We have stated why we I argue this question without any reference to the Queen herself. Let us confine ourselves to the parties really I responsible, who are her Majesty's Ministers, If eir -1 eumstances, as our Evening Contemporary asserts, made the omission of any allusion to the Protestant 1 religion inevitable, most assuredly even the Ministers I are free from blame. Nobody in that case would be in fault except the authors of the Bill of 1829, and the Parliament that made the Bill the law of the land. If, indeed, the law has destroyed the Protestant cha racter ofthe Constitution through all its branches, then is the Protestant character of the Crown destroyed. If so the title to the throne is the house of Hanover is P shaken. That title is built up on the exclusive ro ,' testantisrn of at least one branch of the Constitu ' tioe—the Crown. The moment that character of ex clusive Protestantism is removed from the Crown cer tain alleged claims to the inheritance of the British I throne, which were put aside or suspended by the Act ett , of Settlement vesting the title in the heirs of the body of the Electress Sophia of Hanover being Protestants, ' may be revived. But as the Act of Settlement has ; not yet been repealed, one branch of the Constitution (' still remains, in theory at least, exclusively Protestant, P and must so coahreme unless En g li s h men are prepared , t o surrender to opish ambiti on a ll t h e g l ar i ous rights and liberties for which their patriotic ancestors success fully struggled at the Revolution of 1688. If the ( Bill for 1829 has rendered all allusion to the i Protestant religion, in reference to the proposed mar t riage of a British Sovereien, improper or nugatory, the same reason would hold good for omitting all allusion to the Protestant religion, as the religion of the State, at the solemn ceremony of the Coronation. On that occasion the Queen was asked by the Archbishop of ' Canterbury, in administering the oath to the Sovereign, I —" Will y ou , to t h e utmost of vour power, maintain 1 the laws of God, the true profession of the Gospel, and the Protestant reformed religion established by law ? And will you preserve to the Bishops and Clergy of this realm, and to the churches committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges as by law do or shall appertain unto them or any of them ?" The Queen answered " All this I promise to do," and confirmed this I promise by laying her hands on the holy Gospels, and r by kissing the same. But if the Bill of 1829 had indeed destroyed the Protestant character of all the branches of the Constitution, this part of the corona , \ tion oath was unmeaning, absurd, and nugatory. If, )or, the other hand, that solemn promise of the Queen .‘ to maiv rain the Protestant reformed religion este ( bllshed 'by law," at the coronation, had not a vain and ridicr: mus allusion to the state of things which had neP'sed to exist, why should any pledge respecting the Protestant religion in the Queen's speech to the Privy Council be a thing which the state of circumstances at the present day does not permit ? Nothing has occurred since the Queen's accession to destroy in point of law the exclusive Protestant cha racter of the Crown, though in point of fact I the Ministers have done a great deal to endanger the Protestant reformed religion. That is a cir cumstance, however, which made it the more ne tesssary that the Queen should have made such a declaration, or that the people should have required it. The instances of apostacy or submission to the See , of Rome which hare taken place in the Cobourg family of sate years, and to which we adverted yesterday, made it the more desirable that all reference to the Protestant , religion should not have been omitted. Do Ministers wish the Sovereign to appear ashamed or afraid to express any particular attachment to that pure and holy religion t o w hi c h s h e i s i nde b ted for the sceptre of the i British empire ? As to the fact of Prince Albert being a Protestant, that, of course, could not be doubted, in asmuch as the law has not yet been erased from the statute-book which makes the marriage of the Sovereign with a Papist afinfciture of the Crown. But the country would have been glad to have liersrd from the Queen's 1 own lips that h er i nten d e d h usband was as devotedly I attached to the Protestant relv ' to'n as we must tak e it iher Maj es ty h erse lf i s, althoup:' a supposed to be per sor ally attached to a Min'Atry labouring --not in exact accordance with the coronation oath—to " inflict heavy blows and g' eat discouragement on Protes tantism." We tru s t the leaders of the Conservatives 1 in Parliament do ant mean to act for the future as if the Protestant hays • .a.;'onstitution h a d a l rea dy b een d estroye d in all its brar _w , oes, and, the re f ore , th e i r po li t i ca l e ff orts ; should no reference t o re li g i ous cons id erat i ons. I f i so, it is tlrse for the Protestant people of England to 1 ; look al.Y,ut them, and let their constitutional remon stra,vv",:s reach the Throne and the Parliament also. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ALL'S.-3lownAv. More bu s i ness was Td ReS to-day than for some weeks past ; in its extent, however, consisted its importance, as few altera tions resulted. Bokhara was the " lion" of the day ; he was backed eagerly at '22, and afterwards at '2O to 1, the closing offers being only IS to 1. Muley Ishmael and Brother to Euclid were in considerable demand ; but very little was done on Warden, and the inclination to bet against the Angelica colt was much stronger than when last we " reported progress." The only 'bet we heard agst Latincelot was 1000 to 45 ; he was scarcely mentioned after the first hour. The betting against outsid.ers was unusually animated ; 1000 to 15 was taken six or seven times about Morgan Rattler (the closing offers 50 to 1), 2000 to 30 (twice), 2000 to .35 (twice), and 2,000 to 40 (two or three times), about the Primrose colt, 1000 to 15 (two or three times) about Gambia, the same odds, and as often about May Boy, and 3000 to 40 about Ottoman. The only Oaks bets we . heard were 12 to 1 agst and 13 to 1 agst Pocahontas, in one bet. A very busy afternoon closed as follows: THE DERBY. 17 to 1 agst 'Wardan—taken 18 te, 1 agst Muley Ishmael 18 to 1 agst Bokhara 1$ to 1 agst Angelica colt 19 to 1 agst Brother to Euclid—taken 1000 to 45 agst Launcelot—taken 30 to 1 agst Lucetta colt—taken 35 to 1 agst St. Andrew—taken 40 to 1 agst Reindeer—t-iken 40 to 1 apt Gray .Stilton—taken 50 to 1 agst Perseas 50 to 1 agst Morgan Rattler 50 to 1 agst Primrose colt 50 to '1 agst Fitzroy 1000 to 15 agst Gambia—taken 1000 to 15 agst May Boy—taken 1000 to 15 agst Colt oat of Emigrant's dam—taken 3000 to 40 agst Ottoman 1000 to 800 on Lord Exeter's lot agst Wardan 1000 even between Morgan Rattler and Molyneax 1000 even betweew Gray Milton and Fitzroy 500 even between Amadou and Morgan Rattler.

I MPOR TANT TO PERSO N - S '. ee N k l tk KI N 0 THEIR OWNWILLs.—Two cases have recently been decided in the Prerogative Court relative to the execution of a will under the Act of I st Viet. , cap. .... G whi ch the i t that "every will shall be in writing, and asienhetdreqatuitrhees head or foot thereof by th e testator ; n h signiture shall be made or a cknowled g ed by him presence of two or more witnes ses p resent at the t r irn tl 7 In the one case (referable to t he g oods of Miss Bli;i: spinster, deceased), the testatrix had signed her will, although not in the presence of witnesses. She after wards, however, acknowledged the signature in the pre. sence of two witnesses, but at separate times, and apart from each other. In the other case (referable to the goods of William Millard, deceased), the testator had written hi s w ill on t wo s id es of the paper, but had signed it, together with the attesting witnesses only on the fi rst s id e, t h e signature being consequently not "at the foot or end thereof." In both cases the pro bate was refused by Sir Herbert Jcnner (the Judge of the of Prerogative theA. .c . Court) t on the ground that the provi sions had not been duly complied with. These two cases present the first formal decisions on the subjact of the execution of a will under the new Statute. 1 FOUR.OARED CUTTER MATCH. There has not been for years a match corresponding in interest with that announced for yesterday, or one which has created so much dissatisfaction by its termi nation. It bad been looked up to decide a great sport ing question, and finished in a manner unlooked for and unworthy of those engaged in it. About a month since Charles Campbell, the champion, " was sent for to form a crew" competent to decide the question of championship between the watermen of England and Scotland, and, in eonsequenceoftheexerciseaffair of his power on that occasion, the disagreeable of yesterday owes its origin. Campbell selected two of his own brothers, and Phelps and Pocock, to the total exclusion of Coombes, the cele brated little man, who has, over and over again defeated every man but the Champion. Campbell's " cabinet" was very unpopular, all " liberal" rnen contending that better watermen could have been found, and that in so great a struggle for the honou r o f t h e Th ames and c hampionship, he mi g ht h ave exerc i se d a sound C e l r yde discreion : Be this as it may, and every un prejudiced man will admit it, Coombes ought to have been in the boat. Many of the lending gentle:nen of the various clubs subscribed for the formation of the second crew, consisting of Coombes, J. Newell, Pariah, Tarrant, and Paddy Noulton, five as fine men as ever took a pair of sculls in hand. These, as well as the Campbell party, proceeded to the Mersey, and after the defeat of the Clyde men by Campbell's boat, Coombes and his " brothers in oars" exprsssed a desire to contend with the winners. Campbell expressed him self desirous of accommodating them in London, and on Wednesday week last the backers of each party met at Aviss's, the Bells Tavern, Putney, and there Camp bell objected to the other party rowing in the gig they had taken to the Mersy, an extraordinary specimen of boat building, not lapped over in its timbers as usual, but the eighth of an inch mahogany, seamed in some unaccountable way ; in fact, " a veneer lined with a Macintosh," and French polished on the outside. The point demanded was conceded by Coombes's crew, and they agreed on two cutters, one built by Springate, and the other a four, belonging to the Dolphin Club, and laid down by Searle. The match was made for 100 guineas, and Parish, on the part of his crew, gave Campbell the first-named boat. On the application of Parish and his party for the Dolphin boat, the next day, they were refused her use. She was subsequently, without any authority on the part of the Club, obtained in some way, when the gen tlemen who compose the Dolphin Club very properly refused to allow the men to row in her, and, as stated in a letter our reporter has seen from one of its mem bers, on the ground that they had not been solicited or consulted in a becoming way. In this emergency Pa rish and his party procured a very pretty four from Eton, and, after training in her for a day or two, Camp bell declared he would not row against them if they did not, according to the articles of the wager, use the Dolphin four. One of Campbell's backers, when ap pealed to, under these circumstances, did not object to their having another four oared boat ; but it was subse quently stated by Campbell that he should abide by the articles of the wager, and in none other than the Dol phin had he a right to row against them. Thousands had been laid out in bets ore this became known. Mr. C. Lewis, the umpire (one of the celebrated Leander Club), declined acting, and all were at a loss what to do. A muster of the men took place yesterday. The Campbells " would have their bond," and the others were determined to dispute it. At half-past two several eight-oared cutters were out, and at a quarter to three Campbell and his party ap peared at Westminster-bridge, not in rowing trim, but in their jackets. The others were in rowing costume ; and at the moment they came alongside the assembled hundreds began to imagine it was right. Campbell's party started a second before Coombes's, when the latter rowed by them, and without any endeavour on the part of the others to prevent it. Some hundreds had assembled on Putney-bridge to witness the coming in, and when Coombes and his party came through the middle arch they were greeted with cheers. The others were a few minutes later. Parish and his party then gave Mr. Aviss, the stake holder, notice not to give up the money, and the others claimed, we suppose, on the principle that their opponents did not row in a boat they could not get. At the time our reporter left Putney no decision had been come to, but it was generally understood as a " drawn" wager. MONEY MiiRK.ET and CITY NEWS (MONDAY EVENING,) HERALD.—The general advices from our manu facturing districts are very far from being of a favour able nature ; indeed little else could have been antici pated, when the tenor of the late accounts from New York arc taken into consideration. It appears that the manufacturers, both in cotton and woollen trades, find much difficulty in getting rid of their stocks in conse quence of the state of the discount markets ; and it seems pretty evident that very few of the lats remit tances from the United States have been available to the promotion of trade between the dealers in raw pro duce and the manufacturers, and also between the manufacturers and the factors or foreign merchants. The manufacturers, therefore, are perfectly hoodwinked as to their future operations, and there is, of necessity, some apprehension that in many instances they will either stand still, or carry on their opertions on a very limited extent. The Corn Market has also been very flat to-day. First-rate samples barely maintained the quotations of the last week, whilst medium samples were unsaleable. The accounts received to-day from Genoa sta.. e that a great quantity of Odessa wheat was lying off that port, awaiting orders for this market ; but as wheat is there worth about 455. sterling per quarter, freights about Bs. a 10s. per quarter, with the duty here of 20s. Bd. per quarter, it cannot be imported to pay, especially whilst the monied interests are chary of discounting the first rate mercantile paper at 6 per cent. There has been no pressure for money on the English Stock Exchange, but the market for British Stocks has been dull all day and left off heavily. It has been rumoured at Lloyd's, this afternoon, that the Gazette of to-morrow evening will announce in structions for the blockade of the Chinese seas. On strict inquiry we do not discover any confirmation of the report. TIMES.—Money continues greatly in demand, and much inconvenience is experienced out of doors from the difficulty of procuring accommodation in the way of discounts. The English stock market has been heavy all day, and i❑ Consols and Exchequer bills a slight de cline occurred. The Peninsular stocks are again lower, from the tenor of the intelligence made public this morning, of the dissolution of the Cortes so lately convened. The railway market continues extremely depressed. SUN—Th• funds closed heavily. Consols for money at 90i I, and for Wednesday (settling day), the same. Exchequer Bills left off at ss. discount, India Bonds at 4s. discount, and Bank Stock at 178. The sudden dissolution of the Cortes at Madrid has occasioned a very heavy market for Spanish Stock, the Active Bonds having further declined this afternoon to 24-1 1, and the Passives to 6i. This is a reduction of nearly one per cent. as compared with Saturday. Por tuguese New Five per Cents. receded to 31i, and the Three per Cents. to 22. Colombian closed at 394, and Mexican at 29!. The Share Market was heavy. The Brighton realised 15 discount, the Birmingham 51 premium, and the North Midland Si discount. National Bank of Ireland shares rose to premium. We had no arrivals this afternoon. Earl Howe left town on Saturday, by the evening railway train, for Belvoir Castle. FEMALE COURAGE.—A little before twelve o'clock on Friday night last, the grate was forced and the cellar of the house occupied by Mr. Hill in this town was entered. At the same moment, or imme diately after, Mr. A. Hill, hair-dresser, Bridlesmithgate, wha lodges with his father, happened to go home, and on opening the back door, which was fastened with a French latch, with his key, he found the family had re tired to bed. He instantly proceeded to the top of the cellar steps to find a match to light, when he overheard a noise in the cellar ; suspecting all was not right, he closed the back door carefully, went to the cellar grate outside the house, and discovered it had been forced ; he placed himself as sentinel and called " watch ;" his eldest sister, who was in bed, hearing a disturbance, but not aware that it was her brother callin g out, instantly jumped up, ran down stairs, and, to her surprise, saw a strange man standing in the house ; she repeated several times, who is it, who is it ? not receiving any answer, she concluded it was a thief, and though in her night dress only, and without a light, she courageously dashed for ward and seized the fellow by the collar. A violent struggle ensued, but Miss Hill, who is stout, kept firm hold ; the thief, however, though closely pinned, con triNed to open the back door, and had actually dragged Miss H. into the yard, when her brother Anthony came up, and the villain was secured.--Vollinghain Review. Here are three of the latest Plumpers. Their origin bespeaks their falsehood :—ANOTHER CONVER SION.—On the authority of the Dublin Statesman of last Friday, we announce to our readers that Mr. Shar man Crawford, long known as an impracticable Radical of extreme opinions, has seen the error of his ways, and like many other honest men, has left the movement crew, and avowed himself a Conservative. As a proof of the sincerity of Mr. Crawford's happy change, it is furth er stated that he has requested an influential gen tleman, connected with the Metropolitan Conservative Society, to propose him as a candidate for admission into that constitutional body.—Liverpool 214 - ail. Lord Clarendon is returning to Spain, and has positively de clined to join Lord Melbourne's administration.--Dub fin Mail. The Marquis Wellesley has withdrawn his proxy from Lord Melbourne, lamenting that has lived to see a great and a powerful party destroyed by its association with Radicalism. —Dubli n Mail. The Stayordshire Examiner contains a copy of a citation for a Churchwarden to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court at Lichfield, for having caused the bells of the parish church of Darlaston to be rung, according to custom, contrary to the wishes of the Rector. Part of the citation runs thus : " To all and singular clerks and literate persons whomso ever, greeting, we require you to cite or cause to be cited Ephraim Hurepage, one of the churchwadens of the parish and parish church of Darlaston, in the county of Stafford and diocese of Lichfield, peremptorily to appear person ally before us, our surrogate, or other competent jadge in this behalf, in the Lord Bishop's Consistory Court in the Cathedral Church of Lichfield and place of indicature, there, on Tuesday, the 26th day of November instant, at the usual and accustomed time of hearing causes, then and there to answer certain articles or interrogatories to be then and there exhibited and objected against him, concerning his soul's health and the reformation of his manners and excesses; and especially for ringing, or causing to be rung, the bells of the parish church of Dar. laston aforesaid, in direct opposition to the wishes and command of the Reverend Robert Wood Kyle, the Rector of the said rectory and parish church of Darlaston," &c. Here it is set forth that the health of this man's soul and the reformation of his manners are involved in causing a bell to be rung against the will of the Rector. The priesthood tell him, and audaciously tell the public, that his and their salvation may be endangered by opposing the said priesthood, even on such a trifling matter as ringing bells. The Rector complains of the Churchwarden on spiritual grounds ; on spiritual grounds the Vicar-General and official principal of the Bishop, who fills the see by Divine permission, cites the Churchwarden ; and on spiritual grounds, namely, his soul's health being en dangered by causing a bell to be rung, the Eccle siastical Court will proceed to sentence the Church warden to fine and imprisonment. This solemn mockery of law, justice, and religion, all in one—. this impious usurpation by the priesthood, when they dare to tell the people that their souls are perilled by ringing a, dell contrary to the priest's wishes, is not Roi:iian Catholicism, but Protest antism,ism forC h ur,ill of Englandism. It is that pe culiarbehoof of which the priesthood and the priest-.ridden press, the Times, Post, Standard, Herald, and all the associated servants of the bigots, are willing to peril the peace of the empire. To give preponderance to the ism which consists in declaring by the most solemn language, and in the most solemn form, that the health of man's soul is endangered by allowing a bell to be rung, the n o tk priesthoodeep the, e p rn o e c o r a y t h s o u; t perjury a f'd uwry when; do p o e i o n p e me d n o to oppression, and when they try to shake it off, cry out rebellion ; denounce liberty, and when we struggle to bt., free roar out that re ligion, or their ism, is in danger. Such a picture It is known to everybody that the Bishop of EXETER signalized himself above all his brethren on the bench by the persevering inveteracy of his opposition to the Ministerial plan of education, when that plan was under discussion in the House of Lords. Before the Session closed he started off to his diocese, charged to the muzzle with the sharp shot of his own evil passions, which he let fly in all directions against the QUEEN'S Ministers, and their system of education, both of which he mis represented after his own peculiar fashion. When he had finished this peripatetic undertaking, and done the work of prejudicing the minds of the clergy, as he thought effectually, by his distortions of fact and misrepresentation of intention, he bethought him, that as the Church was suffering in public estimation for its opposition to the instruction of the people, it would be a good thing if he could contrive to back out of his, till then, uniformly hos tile position with respect to that question. With this view he draws Lord JOHN RUSSELL into a correspondence on the subject, pretends that he has misunderstood the whole plan, and ends with de claring himself completely at one with Ministers as to the principles on which they had proceeded I We do not recollect a grosser instance of tergiver sation in the whole history of backsliding. But this is not the worst of it. It might have been supposed that a holy Bishop, after he had discovered his error, would have taken every means in clergy, his power nofit to h undoa had produced lro d t he e ue ed ffe o c n t s which h the minds nd is popsorf the - , and of others, who, through the press, had been deceived by their reliance on so high an autho rity. Had the Bishop of EXZTEn been really fa vourable to the cause of popular education, this is the course which he would have pursued. But he is i its ia b rge itte ” rest enemy, and therefor e he did what he could t o i n j ure i t . H e actually published the Charge" with when allie first deliveredm rep r es! l t n l ta A ti misrepresentations what l s wiich rea son does h e ass i gn f or t hi s flagrant departure fromt contained ail that is honest and honourable among men ? There would, forsooth, have been an awkward dis crepancy between the delivered anti the printed charge ! as if a single se ntence of expla na ti on would not h ave set t h e matter to rights. As samples of the manner in which this pious hierarch twists and Misrepresents the sentiments of other men to suit his own ends, it is sufficient to notice the instances pointed out by the Marquis of LA NSDOWNE in the letter in which he administers to him so t empera t e , s o dignified , and yet so se vere a rebuk e . I t was the Bishop's object to show that Ministers had laid themselves open to the im putation of teaching infidelity. He therefore lays " It is not designed that this measure shall affect un favourably the rates for exchange for bills upon the Atlantic cities. On the contrary, the banks will en deavour to afford reasonable facilities for converting the currency, and to promote, by all the means in their power, the purchase and shipment of the surplus pro duce of the country." The subject of bank reform is engrossing the atten tion of the Vermont Legislature ; and the House of Representatives, it seems, has at length s ettled the main new principles upon which it will grant bank charters, viz. : " Ist. Security, on bond or mortgage, by stockholders to twice the amount of their stock : a proposition made by the majority of the Committee, and adopted by a nearly unanimous vote. " 2d. Requiring one half of the capital stock, in gold and silver, to be paid in before going into operation, and not to be withdrawn propositi:a; originating with iirY minority of the Committee, they having proposed that the thole stock be paid in, which was reduced to one „ half, and adopted almost unanimously." Ihe New Orleans Louisiana of the 28th ult. says, that " the suspension of most of the banks south of New York has not yet had any material effect on the exchange, from the feeling entertained by our business rtio,4 that if New York can weather the storm, as they firmly believe she will, the vessel of commerce will right of herself. The following quotations will verify this inference :—Draughts at from sight to five days' sight on New York can be had at 1 f to 2 per cent. premium, while bills at 60 days' sight are plenty and difficult of negotiation at 11 per cent. discount. On London some small amounts have been passed at 11 per cent. premium, or 4 dol. 93c. ; but large transactions, we believe, could not be made at over 10 per cent. pre mium, or 4 dol. 89c, On France bills are plenty, based on cotton shipments, at sf. 20e. specie does not rule higher than 5 per cent. premium, with no de mand whatever except for the Post-office and the Cus tom-house ; and as these mediums neither lock it up nor carry it out of the country, it immediately returns again into circulation by the Government payments, and no thing can be apprehended on that score." The Charleston Courier of the 2d inst. states, " that both foreign and domestic exchange continue unsettled. We quote bills on England nominal at 9 to 11 per cent. prem. ; on France, sf. 15c. to sf. 25c. per dollar. The brokers are buying up specie at 4 per cent." The Mobile Price Current of the 26th ult. says— " Negociations in the money market and exchanges are entirely suspended. The stock banks of this city still continue specie paying, but their circulation is so limited as to occasion no pressure upon them. The condition of all is so perfectly healthy, and public confidence in them so strong, that they would be sustained by pub lic opinion in suspending and extending their discount lines. As near as we learn, the Branch Bank has 800,000 dollars in specie, with a circulation of 1,000,000 dollars. The two stock banks, Mobile Bank, and Planters' and Merchants', have each about 250,000 dollars in specie, with a mere nominal circu lation. WASHINGTON, BANN OT MIAMIIIIHIRGH, OHIO.-- The Beata Commercial Advertiser states, " that a writ of quo war; anto has been granted against this concern. It is well for the public that it is so, that they may know on what ground it issues bills. Some thousands are already in circulation, and much of it, too, in this vicinity. It is unsaleable at the brokers', and is akin to fraud, being nothing more or less than a library asso ciation." A general resumption of specie payments by the banks of Tennessee is confidently spoken of by the Papers of that State of both political parties. TILE SUN, LONDON.

The Constitution hat provided that the acceptance of Office under the Ctown shall vacate the Seat of a Member of Parlia ttebt. The high trust which you have so often and so long con fided in me, is therefore again surrendered into your hands. The New Election for your ancient and respectable Borough cannot take place till after the Meeting of Parliament ; but my sense of duty towards you induces me immediately to re-visit Newark, and in person to solicit the renewal, when the Elec tion shall take place, of the generous and independent support I have so repeatedly reeeived from you. In discharging the duties which have devolved upon me as your representative, whilst I have never forgotten the principles which first recommended me to your support, I trust I may also confidently appeal to all classes and parties that I have never been inattentive to the welfare of your town, or the interests of any of its numerous inhabitants. I now, therefore, most re spectfully present myself before you, and I hope that in be coming a servant of our beloved Sovereign, I have done nothing which can diminish the confidence you have hitherto reposed in me—a confidence which I have alwas s valued as my chief pos. session, and which, I trust, I shall ever have the good fortune to retain.

THIS EVENING, MONDAY, Nov. K 1839, Will be repeated the New Original Plav,-in Five Acts, written James Sheridan Knowies, called HIOH-WATEft AT LONDON 1211.1D0E TO. ‘lORltO W. Morning.-- 4i minutes atter 5 1 Evening it minutes after 7 LONDON : TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1635. In consequence of insinuations thrown out by some Tory papers, it is- necessary to repeat that the branch of the Cobourg family from which Prince ALBERT is descended have been Protestants from the time of the Reformation. The Prince himself has been educated in the Protestant faith ; at the same time as his father's brother has turned Ca tholic, as his cousins are Catholics, and as no such ridiculous hatted of Catholicism is nourished in Germany as in England, the bigots may not expect to find in him an ally in their vile schemes of defaming and persecuting their Catholic coun trymen. We admit, and even gladly acknow ledge, that in Germany religion is not taught as as if a hatred of other faiths were necessary to salvation, and therefore we may expect, if Prince ALBERT import here one of the distinguishing virtues of his countrymen, that he will set an ex ample of charity towards those who differ from him, and of real toleration, which ought to shame our bigots. We hope that he will import the virtues of his country here, for the truthfulness, upright ness, charity, and sacrifice of pelf to a sense of duty which distinguish Germany, are very much wanted amongst us. If he could at the same time import a little of the genuine piety which prevails in the clergy of Germany, and bring it into fashion amongst the Anglican clergy, he would confer an immeasurable benefit on them and on the public. If he be a genuine German he will scout bigotry of all kinds. of Church of Englandism, drawn by itself, ought to make the religious and liberty-loving people of England start back affrighted from the precipice to which their deference to a priesthood, more rapacious and more ambitious than ever was the Romish priesthood, has brought them. They stand on the brink of a civil war, and, for the sake of the ism above described, the priests and their journals would hurl them over. As a matter of history let us observe that the only pretext for the power claimed by the Anglican priesthood is the power which they say was usurped by the Roman priesthood. They dispossessed the usurpers, but retained the usurpation. They use, as in this citation of the Ecclesiastical Courts, the forms of the Romish Church to this day, and practice on the credulity of their followers exactly in the same manner as the Romish priests in the dark ages. They tell us at the same time that all the power and all the wealth which they possess, and the additional power and addi tional wealth which they demand, are necessary to enable them to resist to the last the powerful priest hood they have dispossessed, and in whose spoils they are clothed. If there never had been a usurping and Papal priesthood, the Anglican priesthood would have wanted a pretext and a model for their functions ; they would never have possessed their present power, and there would have been no antagonist order of priests to make men suppose that the functions of the Anglican priest hood are useful or necessary. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, who has been appointed her MAJESTY'S Solicitor-General, has issued an Address to his constituents at Newark, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman has lost no time in paying his respects to his constituents, and they will find it an additional recommendation to their favour that he has taken ofsce under her MAJESTY'S Govern ment. He is to be opposed by Mr. TIIESIGER, who has his parliamentary spurs yet to win. Mr. Sergeant WILDE, in addition to his many' claims to the approba tion of his constituents, acquired last Session the re putation of being one of the ablest legal debaters that ever appeared in the House of Commons. His speech on the question of STOCKDALE v. HAN SARD was described by men of all parties as the very best which was delivered. We trust that the electors of Newark will re-elect him triumphantly. The Standard agrees with us, that the Act of 1829 destroyed the exclusive Protestant character of our Constitution. It admits, too, that the Crown is not only allowed, but in some measure compelled to admit Popish councillors. So agreeing with us, we cannot comprehend why that Journal should blame the Ministers for not virtually suspending the law of 1829. The great crime with which it and the other Tory Journals charge the Ministers is that they have appointed Popish councillors, or have carried the law into execution. Till the law is re pealed our Contemporary ought not to blame the Mi nisters for not suspending it. We must, at the same time, acknowledge the consistency of the Standard and its friends, for they require that the law of 1829 shall be repealed. There is, in fact, no alternative, but either to carry that act into execution, as the Ministers are doing, or repeal it altogether. We give Sir ROBERT PEEL joy of :he second JIM Chow jump he must make to satisfy his present friends. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S Letter to the Bishop of EXETER, which we published last week is a fit sequel to the late correspondence between that Right Rev. Prelate and Lord JOHN RUS SELL. It gems to develope still further the Jesuitical character of Dr. HENRY PHILPOTTS, who wants only the qualification of extensive learn ing to place him in the front rank of the disciples of LOYOLA. In carrying out the actuating prin ciple of conduct ascribed to them, " that the end sanctifies the means," he has never been, and is not likely to be, surpassed. The Bishop has been, for some months past, as busy as a certain gentleman is said to be in a high wind, going through his dominions for the purpose —a work of supererogation many will think—of sowing among the clergy, the seeds of political strife and religious intolerance. For one who gives himself out to be, if not an Apostle, at least a lineal successor of the Apostles, this seems not al together an appropriate occupation. It is some what out of keeping with the Apostolic character, if St. Paul's description of that character be adopted as the standard. The charge of which the Bishop has been deli vering himself every week at some place or other since the beginning of August, for the benefit of the parsons, he has now discharged upon the public, in that to him most delightful of all forms —the form of a goodly pamphlet. With the ge neral contents of this curious brochure it is not our intention to meddle at present. We shall confine ourselves to a few remarks on the Right Reverend Father's tricks in the matter of education. hold of an expression of Lord LANSDd'ai"fE'f4 which merely showed that Ministers attached great impott , ante to inspectioni without which there was no ade quate security that the children would be trained in habits of " order, cleanliness, and Wm. try." Now what does Dr. PHlLvotts do but represent the Marqtiis of LANspowNE as placing these habits on an equal footing with religious in struction ; and that the more attention might be drawn to the misrepresentation, he actually prints the word " equal" in italics. Now that this was a wilful and most malicious calumny, is proved by the fact that, in the previous part of the speech from which the extract is made, the Marquis of LANS DOWNE had stated that a system of religion forms the " most solid foundation" on which public edu cation can be placed. Why did he not quote that part of the speech rather than the other ? Because it was his cue to make the world believe that her MAJESTY'S Ministers undervalued religious in- stru etion. The pious and candid Bishop misrepresents Mr. JELLINGER SYMONS, if possible, more grossly still. He pretends to quote, from a Report of that Gen tleman on the subject of education, opinions on continental education, which he wishes to pass off as the result of Mr. SYMONS' experience, and to turn them against popular education in this country. Now would any one believe that Mr. SYMONS never uttered anything like the opinions imputed to him by the Bishop, but that he actually disclaimed such opinions as his? But let Mr. SYMONS speak for himself. These are his words :—" So far from this .opinion being the result of my own experience, it forms part of a communication from a Mr. WITHERS, a manu facturer near Charleroi, attached, indeed, to my Report, but with a distinct statement that I annexed it without in any degree vouchingfor the accuracy of the facts detailed by this gentleman, who is per sonally unknown to me.' And yet, with this dis claimer before his eyes, does the Bishop of EXETER quote another man's opinion as mine I" In what a discreditable, what a pitiful light does all this trickery exhibit Dr. PHILPOTTS Does it not show that he is totally destitute of that manliness of character and honesty of principle which lead a generous mind to a candid confession of error when it finds itself in the wrong. To the simplicity of truth this man is a stranger ; his mind is so accustomed to the operation of inventing arguments to " make the the worse appear the better reason," that the dis tinction between right and wrong seems to have been entirely obliterated. Not a trace of the gentleman—to say nothing of the successor of the Apostles—is to be found in this pastoral (!) pro duction. The quibbling, shuffling, quirky pamphle teer reigns throughout. Since the preceding observations were in type, the Bishop has published a reply to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE'S Letter, which sets his character for misrepresentation in a still more odious point of view. We shall take an early opportunity of no ticing more at large this effusion of the prelatical spirit. By the arrival yesterday, at Liverpool, of the new and beautiful packet-ship Patrick Henry, in seventeen days from New York, we have received files of New York and Canada papers, the former of the 7th, and the latter of the 4th instant, both inclusive. The Great Western, which sailed from Bristol on the 19th ult., arrived at New Yolk on the 2d instant—thus making the passage out in fourteen days and some hours. The effect of the advices brought out by her upon the money market was momentarily favourable, but prices receded, when it was known that although Mr. JAUDON, agent.of, the , United States' Bank in London, had overcome all difficulties in the way of raising a roan ' 'here; yet that considerable quantities of American Stock had been returned by the Great Western, as unsaleable in Europe. But the financial intelli gence is given so fully below, that it is unnecessary to do more here than direct attention to it. The Report of General JACKSON'S death is happily unfounded. The " Old Hero" was never in better health, and is likely to live many years yet to torment the Banks by his Sub-Treasury schemes. The excitement occasioned by the Bank stoppages has made him ten years younger in looks than he was six months ago. He always thrives best in troubled waters. They are the only " springs or spas" that entirely agree with his physical and mental constitution. _ _ Sir LIONEL SMITH, the late excellent Gover nor of Jamaica, arrived in the British ship, Ser pent, in New York, where, after remaining a few days, he was to proceed to Bermuda. The anti slavery party were delighted at his presence in their city. In the Canadas all is at present tranquil. Sir GEORGE ARTHUR had declined to prolong the suspension of cash payments by the Banks of Up per Canada, though petitioned so to do by the To ronto Board of Trade. The Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick had likewise forbidden by pro clamation the cutting of timber on the disputed territory. PROGRESS OF SUSPENSION AND RE SUMPTION. TENESSEE.—Governor Polk, in his message to the Tenessee Legislature, recommends that an early day be fixed upon for the resumption of specie payments by the banks in that state, and that they be restricted from the declaration of dividends for at least six months after the resumption. Resolutions were introduced into the senate, ordering the banks to resume forthwith. They were postponed for one day, at the suggestion of a member, who said he had good reason to believe that the banks had it in contemplation to resume the pay ment of specie within ten days. ILLINOIS.—On receiving intelligence of the suspen sion in Philadelphia, Oct. 20, the directors of the State Bank of Illinois resolved to follow the example, and sent expresses to the several branches, instructing them to do so likewise. ALABAMA.— The branch of the State Bank at Huntsville has not suspended, and does not propose to do SO. Omo.—The suspension of specie payments has not been general in Ohio. The Dayton Journal of late date says—" As far as we have heard, the list of sus pending banks in ;this State comprises the Cincinnati banks, with the exception of the Commercial, the Ha milton, Dayton, Xenia, Urbana, and the two Worcester banks. Those at Colombia, Zanesville, Putnam, and Cleveland were paying at the last accounts." RHODE ISLAND.—The General Assembly of Rhode Island have passed a Bill, making such of the banks of that State as refused to pay specie for their bills, liable to the payment of 12 per cent. interest upon them so long as specie is refused—the cashier to enter the time of demand upon the bill, and the refusal of payment for sixty days to work a forfeiture of the charter. Also making the Presidents and Directors of the banks per sonally liable for the payment of the bills on deposit, and requiring each bank to receive its own bills in payment. The yeas on the passage of the Bill were 43 ; nays, 25. Micrtionti.—The Detroit banks have suspended, and their example will probably be followed by all the others throughout the State. In a notice published in the Advertiser, signed by H. K. Sanger, cashier of the Bank of Michigan, and John A. Welles, cashier of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank, in behalf of their re spective boards of direction, it is said— " The ordinary business of these banks will be con ducted as usual without interruption, and their notes will be received by each other for all purposes ; no dis tinction will be made between the notes of the branch and home offices. c::.:: :.., ~,, ~.„ . 4r . ‘,..„...„.., ...,,,.......,,,,,,,,,,•, ,', r 7 • .j, ~, - t-, ..., ,, it:',- - .- -' . _ :- 4/ , ' • ull + LOVE.

In the Stock-market yesterday great animation was observed, in consequence of the intelligence by the Great Western, which is considered as very favourable, and the stocks sold freely, at a great advance on Satur day's quotations. United States Bank opened in the morning at 75, and went up to 77, and closed at 75, baing an advance of 6 per cent. on Saturday's closing rates. Corporation Bonds advanced ; North Ameri can Trust Company, 53- ; and Farmers' Trust Company 6% above the prices of last week. North American Trust Company, 5} ; American Exchange Bank, 2i ; Bank of Commerce, 1f ; Mechanics' Banking Associa tion, 1 ; Delaware and Hudson, 4 ; Batik of Ken tucky, 2 ; Haarlem Railroad, 1i ; Stonington, ; and Utica and Shenectady Railroad, 1 per cent. Yesterday being the last day that debts due to the Old United States Bank could be paid with the stock of the present institution, together with the advices by the Great Western, will account for the rise in the United States Bank stock being greater than in other descriptions. At the second board, United States Bank improved 3, and American Exchange Bank 1 per cent. on the morn ing prices. Nov. 7.—Stock yesterday sustained a very great fall ing off from the closhig rates of the previous day, almost every description sold having declined. The sales were to a very large amount. United States Bank receded full 10 per cent. on the last sales of Tuesday. The closing sale was at 6 dol. sellers, 17 days. The cause assigned for so great a fall in one day is, that the time allotted for receiving the stock of the Bank in payment for debts due to the old institution ex pired on Tuesday. American Exchange Bank declined 3, North American Trust Company 2, Dry Dock 2, Bank of Commerce Farmers' Trust 6, Delaware and Hudson and Mechanics' Banking Association 1, Ohio Life and Trust Company and Franklin Bank, Cincin nati, 11 ; Haarlem Railroad advanced 1, Patterson 2, Mohawk 11, New Jersey 11, Boston and Providence and Boston and Worcester 1, and Utica and Sche nectady per cent. At the second board the sales were trifling, but at a slight improvement on the morn ing prices. TREASURY NOTES.—The sales at theboard yesterday were 10,000 dollars at 99. EXCHANGE—On England is dull ; on Philadelphia the rates are from 12 to 12k. The sales at the board yesterday were 3,000 dollars at 88. On Baltimore, the same, dull ; on Charleston, from 5 to 10 ; on Georgia, from 12 to 15 ; on Mobile, from 16 to 17 ; on New Orleans, 8 per cent. discount. Mississipi Union Bank post-notes are from 30 to 31 per cent. discount. STATE OF TRADE.-NEw YORK, Nor. 7 . There is a fair supply of broad stuffs daily arriving. The demand has, however, been a good deal checked, and the sales have been very limited. Prices for western ranged to-day from 5 dols. 56c. to 5 dols. 75c. In freights we learn of no improvement. CoTTorr.—There has been no improvement in the activity of this article, and prices are still tending down wards ; although, in the absence of any extensive trans action, without marked change, sales extend to about 2,300 bales at 10 to 12f for upland, 10} to I I f for Mobile, 10 to 13 for New Orleans. The arrivals have been 1,200 bales at Charleston, during the week ending on the 2d inst. There was a decline of fc. on the rates of the present week, and purchasers demanded further concessions. The sales reached 3,610 bags, at extremes of 9i to 124. MEXICO. By the arrival of the barque Ann Eliza, Captain Briscoe, in ten days from Vera Cruz, we learn that the French brig Naiade had just received on board the last instalment, of 600,000 dollars, agreed to be paid to France by the Mexican Government. The conducta conveying the above instalment to Vera Cruz from the capital not having arrived the day previous to that appointed for its payment, the French Consul called on the Commandant of Vera Cruz, and threatened to protest the following day. He was an swered that there was no occasion for such proceeding The commercial houses in Vera Cruz subscribed the notes immediately, and lent it to Government until the conducta should arrive, which was then on the road, about 30 leagues distant from Vera Cruz. The money was paid to the French Consul on the very day that it became due. No news from the capital. The Republic was in a state of tranquillity, the Federalists having been com pletely put down. The Central Government was more firmly established than before. The Congress, how ever, were proceeding to reform the Constitution agree ably to the expressed wish of the ex-President, Santa Anna. IMPORTANT FROM RIO GRANDE. The brig Otranto, Doty, 14 days from Rio Grande, which arrived here yesterday, reports that the capital of the province, Porto Alegro, is still besieged by the rebels, who have had several skirmishes with the Government troops. The latter suffered considerably in an en counter, in which 1,500 rebels attacked the Government troops, and obliged them to take refuge in the city, being almost cut to pieces. On the 7th of October the ship made Pernambuco, and soon after was boarded by her Britannic Majesty's brig Emilius, Hunter, who reported that the province o! Nlaranharn was in a state of revolution, and that bu siness was quite at a stand. CANADA. (From the Montreal Papers to the 3d N o v.) ", We are e informed that his Excell e n c y th e G o v intends rnor- Gneral to proceed to Upper Canada, about the middle of the month, when he will dissolve the House of Assembly, in order that there may be a new election, for the purpose of ascertaining the opinion of the inha bitants on the subject of responsible Government, as explained in the Report of Lord Durham, and as supported by the rebels in the Upper Province. His Excellency is ab o ut to do as unwise an act as if he had concentrated within himself all the ignorance regarding the Canadas which has been displayed for some years by the Ministry of which he is a prominent member.

It appears that this victim of Ecclesi astical oppression has been but scurvily treated by those to whom he had a right to look for support and assistance. These persons first mislead, then desert, and last of all calumniate him. Of this he complains, and no wonder. Mr. T HOROGOOD , it see ms, came to London, with the intention of appearing to the citation from the Spiritual Court, when he was induced by cer tain parties representing the Church-rate Abolition Society, to relinquish his purpose, and let the Ec- -_~.. clesiastical law take its course, because (he was told) by adopting this course, he would most effectually advance the great cause of religious li berty. He followed the advice given him, and re turned home, from whence he was soon dragged to Chelmsford gaol, where he has ever since re mained without a single word of encouragement , or sign of sympathy, in his affliction, from those who had been instrumental in bringing him. within the fangs of his persecutors—who buoyed him up with grand promises, and false hopes, and thus betrayed him- Nor is th is all. Those very persons are the first to impeach the purity of his motives. In a memo rial which soroe of them presented to Lord Non- NI A NBY, on "A londay last, ostensibly in favour of this poor man, it is stated that he was deterred from contesting the legality of the proceedings against him by the expense to which he would be put by so doing—an assertion which he declares to be false, and which, we may add, his noble self devotion for the sake of principle, has proved to be so. If this be the way that a conscience-protecti n g Society " move heaven and earth" in the cause of the persecuted, we hope and trust they will in fo• 1 ture remain in a state of quiesence. 'We heartily wish they had not stirred on this occasion, for they are likely t© do more harm than good. They have delayed their interference until it is worse than. useless, for it may have the effect of making those who are at a distance from the scene of action, and unacquainted with the secret springs that may be at• work in this case, imagine that now that Tricto GOOD'S case has been taken up by a " great asso ciation," their individual exertions are not wanted. Let not the Dissenters fall into this error --a more dangerous one they could not commit. The ir own efforts in their own cause have been too long suspended by the empty professions of societies with high-sounding names. It is now full time that theY should be persuaded of the necessity of acting for themselves, and of acting with energy and pos e . verance. Again we hold out to them the examP l e of the men of Leicester.

The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the whole the garbled despatch from Madrid announcing the dissolution of the Cortes. Why it was not all given on Friday can be best explained by suc h c " the French Ministry as interest themselves most about the price of Spanish Stock ; for we place no reliance upon the statement of the Moniteur Pa" risien about the interception by the fog. The fol lowing is the despatch as given entire : ° f " MADRID, Nov. 18 .—A decree of th e Queen Spain orders the dissolution of the Cortes.

Of what did this cadiau con.' silt? Why, that in spite of existino. treaties, Angtria should receive the free town of Cracow. 54 I t was first agreed upon that this town should !les occupied by the three Powers, under pretence a I . a pacification, and of protecting it ; but that should soon after retire its tro o p s be y ond a ce rtain en' t tance ; that Prussia shou ld g o still further, and the Austrian garrison a l o ne should remain and OCCUPY. the town until the mom ent when the Austrian cabinet may feel itself incline d to p roclaim Cracow as belonging to the empire. " Thus, as its first rev elation the Ca p itole announces that Cracow has becom e at : Austrian town by virtue of secre t treaties between the p owers of the north ; and that the thin , has been so weil managed towards th e Cabinets of Faris and London, that French and Eng lish diplomacy are ignorant of it still, and will onl y now learn it through this journal. tha " There is our first fact. A few impertinent provo catives will make us reveal others as secret and as little known. Will Austria, to convict us of falsehood, eva cuate Cracow ? That, indeed, would be a triumph ob tained by an article of a journal." We subjoin what other news there is in the Pari s Journals of Sunday. From Madrid we have Papers of the the 17th inst., but their contents have been anticipated. Accounts from Galicia announce that the people at! o everywhere preparing to refuse the pay ment of tag and that means to resist are organising f or this puepoK in many places. Fears were again felt for the tra.nquillity of Barceletni. The violent party was very active.
