'The report which We mentioned last week, that the Bishops were to hold a conclave on the Puseyits doctrines, gains ground. The Archbishop of CAN TERBURY, it is said, has announced his intention of summoning his brethren of the Episcopal Bench, in order to deliberate and determine on the rubrical ob servances to be enforced throughout the dioceses of the South, and the venerable and aged Archbishop of Yoax has given his concurrence. This event is not improbable or surprising ; but what surprises all true Protestants is the fact, that the men who regard themselves as the main props and stays of the Protes tant religion, the revilers of Catholics, and the un ceasing persecutors of conscientious Dissenters, re gard this as a healing measure of primary importance, and announce that the decision of these Prelates will allay the storm which has been raised by the restless Puseyite Bishop of EXETER, and the pious Puseyite Bishop of LoNpoer. If they are , sincere, we pity their ignorance, and cannot give them credit for a particle of judgment or foresight in regard to the settlement of this alarming schism in the Protestant Church. The Bishops have lost all confidence with the laity. They have turned a deaf ear to the entreaties, and remonstrances, and protests of the true adherents of the reformed religion, or re jected their applications with contumely and scorn. The two Archbishops are " dumb dogs, that cannot bark ;" appeals have been made to them without num ber; the insulting, the Popish, and the tyrannical steps taken by disciples of the new sect, have been forced on t;;Ar attention in the most earnest, humble, and .:ristian spirit—yet these appeals have been made in vain. The Church, for we call the Protestant laity'the Church, have given up all hopes from that quarter. Oxford and the Bench of Bishops are on the high road:to Rome ; the PUSEYS and the Wartns have described as a great calamity the separation of the English Church from the Papal See. There is no redemption for her but by immediately retracing her Steps—that is, joinin g i n a ll th e r it es an d ceremo nies and doctrines hith er t o so repugnant to Ref •r mers. these heretical doctrines have been winked at by the 'Archbishop of ..ANTERBURT B ,.a I nd openly court - ooraced or palliated br rare nam whom the p r o ' fo i s n sn Y fri 'l lil ° :l..e th l e ll at rch up to as the ouly safe gu ev of er ming (vs in the present diffi rib cu e lti l e 3 s e . oe N h there such a blind no 'The people hoe" tecet 'l,;e r 7 e 7 0 , 1 7 8 - nto -r own hand 3, for tlst -beSC'lf r+ll teas. no edic:t iesued 1.-om Lana' bet., the slightest effect—not even if it denounced the obnoxious measures of Dr. Eumrorr4 and Dr.' BLONIFIELD, and the whole race of Puseyites, and decreed that no innovation whatever should be made in Church ceremonies. A well-grounded suspicion has seized the public mind that these changes, harm less when taken by themselves, are only the fore runners of some wicked scheme for subverting Pro testantism, and accustoming the people to a religion which they cordially detest. No. The bishops can do nothing that will allay suspicions. They have been sufficiently tested ; they have been " weighed in the balance, and found wanting." In the meantime, let the people of England be on their guard ; let them keep watch on the towers of Zion and defend the sacred citadel against the only enemies they have to fear— the enemies in the camp. The magnanimous conduct of the churches in the diocese of Exeter has excited a strong feeling of sympathy throughout the country. Dissenters as well as Churchmen have watched their movements with intense interest, and in the hour of danger they will unite to preserve the greatest bless ings ever conferred on this Protestant country—the blessings of the reformed religion. The Report of the Select Committee on New Zea land touches directly on some important elementary principles—a better knowledge or a stricter observ ance of which, on the part of the authorities at home, might hare averted many of the evils which have since overtaken this unfortunate colony. To this fact we adverted, generally, in a former article. It may be well, however, to note the passages to which we refer more particularly, inasmuch as they may ope rate to prevent similar errors in future, whenever the question of occupying territory still peopled, how ever thinly, by aborigines, shall be again submitted to the Government for its decision. It is quite clear that the question of occupancy is at the root of all the difficulties whieh have sprung up between the settled colonists and the natives, and in the relations between the New Zealand Company, the settled colonists, and the Government of 'Great Britain. If there was no possessory right in the British Crown, at the time any of its subjects made settlements in New Zealand, there could be no de rivative right invested in any mediate authority, in virtue of which these subjects could make good their title to occupy lands in those islands against the pre tension of any of the aborigines. They who occu pied in defect of such authority, could not, in reason, invoke that authority to enforce and - protect their possession. If they held lands and located upon them, in confidence of the good faith of the native chiefs with whom they had negotiated for the acquisition of those lands, they held them under liability to be oustad by the bad faith, or deprived by the caprice, or driven out by the violence, of the same savages, or some of their compatriots. There was nothing in their bargain with the aboriginal owners to entitle them or their property to the protection of their SOVE REIGN, which is said to be the condition reciprocated by the Crown for the allegiance of its own subjects. These latter had, in fact, put their allegiance in abeyance, for their own purposes, and could not complain if the British Crown kept, as to them, its protective functions in abeyance also. And here let us pause to avail ourselves of the well-reasoned de finition given by Sir GEORGE GIPPS, the Governor of New South Wales, in an address to his Legislative Council, on submitting to them a Bill framed by his Excellency, under instructions from home, consti tuting New Zealand a British colony, dependent on his government. " The Bill," said he, "is founded on two or three general principles, which, until I heard them here controverted, I thought were fully admitted, and, indeed, received as political axioms. The first is, that the uncivilised inhabitants; of every country have but a qualified dominion over it, or a right of occupying only ; and that until they establish amongst themselves a settled form of Government, and subjugate the ground to their own uses by the cultivation of it, they cannot grant to individuals, out of their own tribe, any portion of it—for the simple reason that they have not themselves an individual property in it." This language may sound like the imposition of a very arbitrary disability on a nomad tribe to part with its own lands, on its own terms, to foreign purchasers ; but we take it to comprise law, as sound as the maxim to which the portion in italics supplies so striking an analogy, that labour is the capital of land. " The second principle," Sir GEORGE con tinued, " is, that if a settlement be made in any such country by a civilised Power, the right of pre-emption in the soil, or, in other words, the right of extinguishing the native title, is exclusively in the Government of that Power, and cannot be enjoyed by individuals without the c unsent of their Government. The third principle is, that neither individuals nor orders of men, belonging to any nation, can form colonies except with the con sent, and under the direction and control of their own Government, and that from any settlement which they may form without the consent of their Government, THEY . MAT BE OUSTED. This is simply to say, so far as Englishmen are concerned, that colonies cannot be founded without the consent of the Crown." Now, in this false position, beyond all doubt, the earlier British settlers in New Zealand, locat ed about the Bay of Islands and elsewhere, be fore the existence of the New Zealand Company, had placed themselves. But we shall show, in a future paper, that this error of theirs aas radically cured, if not by the autho rised acts, yet on the assumed rights of the New Zealand Company ; and that, however vicious the title of that Company, ab initio, and however unwar rantable its proceedings in undertaking to deal with private capitalists for the sale and occupation of lands, having in the meantime no more substantial or recog nised title, the deficiencies of their original powers roust be held to have been, afterwards, if not cured, yet condoned, and so to speak, recognised by the unpardonable carelessness of acts of the British Go vernment. What those acts were, and in what ex tent and degree the very serious responsibility for the destruction of life and property, the sacrifice of capi tal, time, and health, the moral and social ruin con sequent on the proceedings of the New Zealand Com pany is to be apportioned between the New Zealand Company and the home Government, we shall endea , your, on an early day, to show. Notwithstanding the boasting tone held by the Agricultural Protection Society on its formation at the commencement of the year, it has made up to the present period but a sorry fight against the Anti- Corn-law League. Its energies have evaporated in mere words. Its roar—as Bottom, the weaver, would say—has been that of " a sucking dove." When first instituted, it confidently announced its expecta tions of being able to storm the League entrench ments—beard Mr. COBDEN in his " pride of place" —and recover all the ground that had been lost by Monopoly during the last four or five Soars. But, instead of this, the Protection So ' ciety has done little or nothing. It has indeed " kept the word of promise to the ear," but it has broken it "to the hope." Not a single blow more serious than might be given by a lady's fan has it yet inflicted on the Anti-Corn- . law-League, despite the formidable array of Dukes, Lords, Baronets, and Squires, that grace its muster-roll. Why is this ? What occasions this humiliating failure on the part of the self-vaunting Protection Society P The answer may be given in a sentence. The common sense and right feeling of the community are against it. In vain it distributes tracts and pamphlets by the thousand—in vain it makes speeches by the score— its written and its oral eloquence alike fall still-born on the public mind. "Wisdom crieth from the housetops, and no man regardeth her." At a meeting of this ill-starred Society, which took place on Friday in Old Bond-street, Mr. MILES read the first Annual Report of the Committee which fully bears mit our views of the deplorable condition of the Protectionists. Notwithstanding the ingenious attempts made to conceal it, a tone of humility—we might almost say, of despondency—breathes through this Report, which satisfies us that the Society has failed in all its efforts to extendgthe sphere of its own influence, and r e ouse the popular feeling against the League. Mark, for instance, the crest-fallen spirit in which it alludes to the important question of the Registration :—" Since the rs:.ess, vur opponents have by t;:e4 min showing in a great degree abandoned their itinerant lecturing, and have mainly directed their exertions towards in creasing the votes of their particular party, thus turn ing the Anti-Corn-law League into one Registration Club for the whole country.. The Borth Tull. of our strite7 Prof 11:1tb O beliat an e, y ir Late that thettir not the l e t ter o f the law, g , n spirit of the, Constitution regards THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16 1 1344. the electors of every county and town as fully able to choose and control their own representatives in the House of Commons." Now who cannot see, through the affected scrupulousness that pervades this passage, evidence of conscious weakness ? The Protectionista forsooth, have too much respect for the forms of the Constitution to dream for an instant of tampering with the Register I The League may do so if it pleases, but the Protection Society is influenced by a far loftier far more considerate far more patriotic spirit ! It will agitate in accordance with the forms of constitutional etiquette, or it will not agitate at all. No, it will abandon the cause of Monopoly altogether, rather than swerve one hair's breadth from what it deems to be just and decorous Most conscientious agitators! But do the Protec tionists really believe that the people at large will give them credit for such purity and disinte restedness ? Not they. They will detect at once the hypocritical cant about their regard for the Constitution, notwithstanding the fine varnish of words with which it is covered. Is it indeed from men combined together in such a selfish cause as that of Monopoly, that conscientiousness is to be expected ? Are the best friends to the Constitution to be found among those who care not a straw for the wants of the Many, when they come into collision with the interests of the Few ? We look on the passage we have quoted above as being neither more nor less than a declaration of conscious weakness on the part of the Protectionists—as a confession of their utter inability to come to close quarters with the League on the important question of the Regis tration. Had they felt that they had the slight. est chance of interfering successfully with the Constituencies, they would long ere this have been just as much on the alert as their adversaries, and even have been glad of the opportunity of taking a leaf out of their book ; but finding, after mature consideration, that the case was hopeless, they have abandoned in despair all idea of tampering with the Register, and adroitly assigned as a reason for such abandonment, not the true reason—their weakness as a faction, but their scrupulous and conscientious re spect for the forms of the Constitution ! The excuse is an ingenious one, but dexterous as it is, it will deceive no one endowed with the slightest power of reflection. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NE WS (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)

There is another clause of the Bank Charter Act in operation to-day, relative to those banks which will adopt Bank of England paper instead of their own, and the whole of the new currency law will soon be fairly in play, so as to enable a proper judgment to be formed relative to its merits and defects. The Bank of England has increased its issues by 31,315/., but its rest has been diminished to the extent of I nearly 30,0001. The deposits, both publi c an d p r i va t e , ' continue to increase, and the stock of bullion has risen to the amount of 31,3151. in the issue, and 55,3221. in the banking department. The accounts from the Continent, received this morn ing, state that the weather continues extremely severe. There is, says a letter before us, from Paris, every in• dication of a most severe winter. The navigation of the river is almost entirely closed. The market fur Consols has been very steady this morning at from 100 to 100} for the opening. The Three per Cents. Reduced are firm at 1001, notwithstanding the currency of the report that it is the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to propose to Parliament, next session, the reduction of the interest upon this stock. There has been a slight im provement in the premium upon Exchequer Bills. India Bonds, on the contrary, have receded as much as the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., which aro now at 1024 Bank Stock for the Account hat been done at 209. Not a great deal of business has been transacted in the Foreign Funds to-day. For the Spanish Three per Cents. the more general value has been 37 to 37/, and for the Five par Cents., 24i. to 25.

We regret to find from the Paris mere that some serious disturbances had taken place in Switzerland, in which several persons had been killed. It appears that the Jesuits have been the cause of the mischief. They claimed the right to superintend and direct the education of the youth in the canton of Lucerne, and as far as we can judge, were supported by the Go vernment. A number of the inhabitants objected to this, and without being sufficiently prepared, had re course to arms, and have been defeated. A letter from Lucerne, dated Dee. 8, contains the following account : —"From all sides troops are arrivingto support the Go vernment. Numerous arrests have been made, but the authorities have not yet succeeded in arresting Co lonel KUGGENBUIILIR and M. BAUMANN. At the bridge of Ennez, which is half a league from the town, the insurgents have massacred twelve persons. Several detachments have arrived from Argevia and Bale, We are assured that 1,200 men have been seen on the march. There is great fear of disorder during this night. To-morrow the troops from Uri will ar rive. The Government is taking 7vigorous measures to conquer the storm. A meeting has taken place at Zug, to consider whether that canton will succour its friends. It is certain that Bale, Berne, Soleure, and Argovia will march upon the town. This morning a patrol party attacked a body of Liberals ; some soldiers were wounded. At the first shot all the avenues of the Hotel de Ville were barricaded, and the place was put in a state of defence. Several ar rests have taken place." Another letter from Berne, dated the 9th, announces the defeat of the Liberal party in these words :—" An estafette arrived at ten o'clock this morning, bringing the sad news of the defeat of the Liberals at Lucerne. The insurrec tion commenced yesterday morning, and at five in the afternoon all was terminated. The insurgents having no artillery were compelled to retreat; in an attack upon the arsenal some of them were killed. Amongst their chiefs Dr. STEIGER and Captain AUFDBR MAUR were taken prisoners. Colonel KUGGENBUIILER .and the ex• Councillors BAUMANN and IskAc succeeded in getting out of the town with several of their partisans. The struggle would, it was thought, continue in the open country, but not withstanding . the aid of the volunteers of Argau, Soleure, and Bale, there were .slight hopes of success. A letter of the Government of Lucerne to that of Berne, and dated yesterday, announces its triumph over the rebels; but in order to prevent further risings, it demands federal armed assistance from the cantons of - Uri, Schwyz, Underwald, and Zurich." The French news in the papers is without inte rest. The Constitutionecl has an article on the re ported occupation of more islands in the Pacific, and blames the Governusent for persevering in a system which may involve France in a misunderstanding with England, or lead to results as humiliating as those of Otaheite. The Prince DE MONTMORENCY was convicted, on Wedneeday, before "the Correc tional Police, of constructing and selling, bj his agents, busts of the Duke of BORDEAUX, and sen tenced to a month's imprisonment and a fine of 1,000 francs. The case is thus stated in Galignani : " In September last, Prince de Montmorency Robecq being tried before the Court of Assizes of the Seine, for distributing seditious emblems, tending to disseminate a spirit of insurrection, was acquitted, after a brilliant defence by M. Berger. The law officers of the Crown then expressed their determination to prosecute M. de REDUCTION OF THE THREE PER CENT. RE.

Balfe's grand opera of The Daughter of St. Mark has filled every corner of this theatre during the past week, and has proved one of the greatest cards the manager has yet played. The present is the only week it can be performed in conjunction with The Peri, in which Mademoiselle Plunkett appears. DUTCH MAIL. --- REFORM IN HOLLAND.—THE HAGUE, DEt. 11.— The Dutch Journal of the Hague says, that among the changes in the fundamental law proposed by the project introduced by eight Members of the Second Chamber of the States-General, are the following :- 1. A responsible Ministry. 2. The right of the Crown to dissolve the Second Chamber. 3. Direct elections. 4. Modification to be made in the institution of the First Chamber. It is further affirmed, says the Journal, that en deavours hay. been made to strengthen the guarantee given by the fundamental law to public instruction to the freedom of religious worship, and the equality of religious communions. THE HAGUE , Disc. 12.—The S econ d Ch am b er , i n its sitting to-day, voted two projects of law, which were rejected a few days ago, related to an ameliora tion in the Excise on the right of slaughtering cattle. The rejection of the first project was owing to the article which authorised the Excise officers to visit between sunset and sunrise the houses of per sons suspected of fraud. This clause appears to the Chambers to be contrary to article 126 of the funda mental law, which guarantees the inviolability of the dwellings of the citizens. The Government has attended to their objection by proposing a new clause, by which no visit is to be made between sunset and sunrise, except by order of the Judge of the district, or the Burgomasters, who must themselves be present, or delegate some public functionary to accompany the Excise officer. The Chamber agreed to the project thus modified by a majority of 39 to 1. The second project related to an augmentation of the subsidy allowed in the budget of 1844 for civil pensions. The Minister of Finance said that everything rela tive to civil pensions would be regulated by law dur ing the present session ; that the present project was only a provisional measure, which will not interfere with what may hereafter be regulated by the Cham bers in a special law. This project was voted, like the preceding, by a majority of 39 to 1. After which the Chamber adjourned for two months. Since the navigation between Rotterdam and Lon dom is interrupted, the village of Scheveningen looks like a little commercial town. The steam-boats from England arrive there, and the dispatches for London are forwarded by way of Scheveningen. Goods are also sent to London by Dutch fishing-boats. NIMIGUEN, DEC. 10.—Last night the mercury in Fahrenheit thermometer was at 12f ; on Sunday night it was at 13. THE HAGUE, DEC. 13.—The accounts, received to day of the state of the rivers, announce that they are for the most part entirely frozen over, and passable on foot.

Dec. 11. BANK CIIARTER ACT. — Another portion of the Bank Charter Act will come into operation in a few days. By the 23d section it is provided, that the several bankers mentioned in one .of the schedules (consisting ot forty-three establishments), who have ceased to issue their own notes under certain agreements with the Bank of England, should have their agreements determined on the 31st instant, and that such bankers should receive by way of compensation a composition mentioned in the saint provision of the Act. A list of such bankers and a statement of the maximum sums in respect of which each such banker is to receive compensation having been delivered, it is enacted that the several agreements shall cea a and determine ou the 31st instant, and from and after that day the Bank shall pay and allow to the bankers, so long as they shall be willing to receive the same, a composition after the rate of 1 per cent.: on the average amount of the Bank of England notes issued by them and actually remaining in circulation, to be ascer tained on Some day in April, 1845, to be determined upon by the Bank of England. The mode to be adopted for ascertaining the notes in circulation is set forth. As: account is to ht: tukt , ll of tank • f Evg!iiiid n o t es d e l,. vered to such bankers re , peerively by said bank within three months next preceding, and of such of the said notes as shall hare been returned to the Bank of England, and the balance shall be deemed to be the amount of notes issued by such bankers, and kept in circulation ; . and a similar ac count shall be taken at intervals of three calendar months, and the averag,s of the balances ascertained on takiog tour such accounts shall he deemed to be the - average amount of Bank of England notes issued by such bankers respectively, and kept in circulation during the year 1845 ; and on such amount such bankers are respectively to receive the composition of 1 per cent. It. is purther provided by the same section that similar ac counts shall be taken at different - months in succeeding years, to be fixed by the Bank of England, and that the composition shall be paid by the Bank of England out of their own funds. In case any difference shall arise be tween any of the bankers and the Bunk in respect of the composition, the same is to be determined by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, or by some person to be named by him, whose de c i s i on i s to b e fi na l and con clusive. The bankers set forth may discontinue to re ceive the composition, but no such banker is by such discontinuance to acquire any right or title to issue bank -notes. By the 24th clause the Bank may agree with other bankers who are entitled to issue bank-notes, on the same terms with those who have ceased to issue them. The following clause determines the period of the compositions :—Section 25—" And be it enacted, that all the compositions payable to the several bankers men tioned in the schedule hereto, and such other bankers as shall agree with the said Governor and Company to discontinue the issue of their own bank-notes as afore said, shall, if not previously determined by the act of such banker as hereinbefore provided, cease and deter mine on the Ist day of August, 1856, er on any earlier day on which Parliament may prohibit the issue of bank -notes." TUE WhIATHER.—The winter has set in most severely, with an intense ground-frost, and the wind at East. The navigation of the rivers between this city and Yarmouth, and from that port to •fleocles, Bungay, and Aylsham, has been stopped by the ice. The at mosphere has been very thick for several days, threat ening snow. but none has fallen, except a very trifling descent on Sunday evening. A covering of that season. able clothing for the ground would be very acceptable. In some parts of the country snow has fallen, though not to any considerable extent.-IVorfolh Chrenicic SUMMARY OF NE S A.ND iptibitr Ovinton. " Who runs may read' rontazoza. On Tuesday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French, received the Minister of Marine, the Ministers of Prussia, Bavaria, Sweden, Wurtemberg, Baden, Hesse, and the Hans Towns, Dukes Decazes and de Massa, Counts Mole and Paul de Segur, General Blrthois, M. Sauget, M. Dupin, sen., and M. de Beau court. The Brussels papers state that the King and Queen of the Belgians were to leave Lacken on Friday, for Paris, in order to be present in the family circle on the arrival of the Duchess d'Aumale. The thermometer (Fahrenheit) marked at Paris on Wednesday morning at six, 18* ; and at noon, 21i deg. The thermometer at Turin, in the night of the 6th instant, was down at 17 degrees below zero of the Centi grade scale (the zero point of Fahrenheit). In the morn ing several sentinels were found frozen to death in their sentry-boxes. Upwards of a century has passed since Turin suffered from a cold so intense. On Sunday evening a man named Turgis, a watchnaatt on the Quai de l'lsle, at Havre, on retiring to his cabin, the cold being at 10 degrees below zero of the Centi grade scale (14 Fahrenheit), took in with him a brassier of charcoal, stopped up all the apertures by which the inclement air could make its way in, and was found dead next morning. On Saturday last, the City of Lyons was thrown into consternation by the fall of the new suspension-bridge over the Rhone, in front of the college, at the moment when about thirty workmen were employed in loading it with sand, in order to try it. Several of the men were drowned, and others severely hurt. The quarter adjoining the Faubourg St. Martin has just lost one of its celebrities in the person of an old elaiffonnier, 79 years of age, mimed Perruchon, and nick named." La Lanterne." This appellation he received from baying been, during the first revolution, one of the public executioners who summarily hanged such per sons as incurred suspicion, to the first lamp-post. lie was, a few days back, found dead in his garret, lying on a heap of straw, and covered with an old tattered blanket. It is stated that the Goverameat will propose, in the course of the approaching session, a bill to increase the preventive police of the city of Paris. A special police is to be established for night service, and 200 posts will be distributed in different quarters, at within short dis tances of cools other. Each post will be occupied by twelve men under the command of a brigadier. All the posts are to furnish a certain number of patrols com posed of four men, which are constantly to circulate through the-streets within their jurisdiction. The Council of War of Madrid has condemned to death Colonel Rengifo, the ex-Captain Garcia, the surgeon Arilla, and to several years of imprisonment Tajuelo, Talavera, and others. The Dukb of Osuna haa been elected deputy to the Spanish Cortes by the province of Zamera, but has de clined to accept the seat. The Hanover Journal announces that a frightful con firagration had entirely destroyed the town of Dassel. A letter from Koningsberg states that the students of the University of Heidelberg have abolished the custom of duelling, and have decided that henceforward all dif ferences that may arise amongst them are to be deter mined by a jury of honour, composed of ten of their comrades, chosen by the two adversaries. This example was at once imitated by the students of Koningsberg.

Mr. Justice Williams de terred passing sentence. The prisoner was an agricul tural labourer, and at the time of the commission of the offence he resided with his mother in a cottage near Mr. Darrant's farm. At Derby, Mr. Justice Patteson sentenced a man named Booth, who was twice convicted of burglary, to be- transported for life. The prisoner, who throughout the proceedings had seemed totally indifferent- to what was going on, upon hearing the sentence, said, " Then, it I die to-morrow, my Lord, my time's up." Mr. Baron Gurney sentenced the ex-Liverpool land ing waiter, Joseph M'Caugbie, to two months' impri sonment for shooting Mr. Arkle, the surperinte n d en t landing surv e y or a t Liverpool Docks. Th prisoner had been reported to Mr. Arkle as drunk on duty, and was dismissed in consequence, and in revenge he had at tempted to shoot the gentleman. At York William Thompson, alias Luke Thompson, alias Blueskin, was charged with having, on the 22d of January, 1843, feloniously shot at Thomas Carr, of Hall Moor, near York, with intent to murder, disable,. or do him some grievous bodily harm. In this .case, a man named Mason, who, it new turns out, is perfectly inno cent, had been convicted of the offence, and sentenced to transportation. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and lie was sentenced to twenty years' .transportation. Mr. Justice Coleridge, in passing sentence, intimated that immediate steps would be taken for the recel of the in nocent convict Mason, and that Government, in all like lihood, would award him compensation. Oaing to the great number of prisoners for trial at these assizes, it was found impossible that Mr. Justice Celeridge could get through the business in time for ope;iing the commission at Durham, Mr. Justice Cress , a ell has accordingly arrived at York to assist in the trial of the prisoners. A big fellow named liAlingsworth, who is foreman to Mr. Jackson, the contractor for building the Royal Ex change, was charged at the Mansion House by Mr. At kins, a gentleman who resides in the neighbourhOod of Cornhill, with having committed an assault upon him by spattering him with a brush dipped in mortar and water. Hollingsworth said that he was responsible for keeping the place at which the men worked in front of the Royal Exchange free from a mob of boys by whom they were constantly interfered with. He found that the use of a stick or a whip made them grumble, and therefore he used the brush dipped in water, which he found efficacious. It was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, in answer to questions asked by the Lord Mayor of the defendant himself, arising from the defence, that the assault was quite unprovoked and unwarrantable, and his Lordship called upon Hollingsworth to give ,his own security to the amount of 401., to appear to answer at the sessions. Mr. Atkins, however, consented to accept an apology upon the paymont of the costs by the defendant, who made the apology in a - most ungracious manner, and was discharged. At QUeen-square the business of the Court principally consisted of charges against beggars and applications for relief. Of the former of these, three were committed as incorrigible vagrants, whilst the ca.(-s wf real distress were so lagilerolln that upwards ut 4/. was given, in ►arious sums, for their relief. c:Oll.lFL'3: rrassuzolicavazzi;.

The Dublin Monitor says a rescript has been lately re ceived by Dr. Crolly, Archbishop of Armagh, from the Pope, which directs " the prel.tes and clergy of this country to abstain from all political agitation—to attend exclusively to their religious duties —to inculcate uni versal peace and charity, as the bond of Christian per fection; but, above all, to recommend, by word and ex. ample, honour and submission to the ruling powers. The Holy Father proclaims this as the genuine doctrine of the Catholic Church ut all times and under all circum stances." The Rev. Theobald Mathew, acknowledging a re mittance from the Rev. L. Murphy, Dublin, writes— '• There is not the most : distant danger of mi again in volving myself. The profuse distribution of cards and medals throughout the kingdom will not be necessary in future, and I shall be thus relieved from the risk of in curring debts."
