Me first paragraph was then adopted, and M. de P Pei aumont havingwithdrawn the other part of his amend- Ti 'nt referring to the second, it also was agreed to. ' The Chamber adjourned at half-past five. SATURDAY, JAN. 25. At two o'clock M. Sauzet, the President, took the laiair. The Chamber having adopted on Friday the two :first paragraphs of the Address, the discussion opened on Abe third paragraph, which was as follows : " Incidents, which at first seemed of a nature to trouble the friendly relations between France and England, had L deeply agitated the two countries, and called for all the t attention of our Government. We are well pleased to ; learn that a reciprocal sentiment of good feeling and I- equity has maintained between the two States that happy accord which is so important both to their prosperity I and to the repose of the world." To this paragraph, M. Leon de Malleville moved the * following amendment : " We are happy to learn that the accord so necessary - to the repose of the world has been maintained between the two States, but we regret that, in granting a repara tion which was not due, the rules of justice and recipro city, which France shall always respect, were not suffi ciently taken into account." M. Leon de Malleville, having been called to the tr , - bune to develop his amendment, said that the Chamber having granted a Bill of indemnity to the Ministry on the ensemble of its policy, the amendment he pro posed was not directed against its existence ; his in tention was merely to examine the question, in itself a question which had wounded to such a degree the national susceptibility—he meant the indemnity awarded to M. Pritchard, which he did not hesitate rto declare the country was unanimous in reproving.— (" No, no," on the Ministerial benches.) Ile then en tered into considerations to prove that no cordial alliance should prevail between Great Britain and France with out a perfect reciprocity, and on that condition alone was he a partisan of that alliance. M. de Malleville protested his high respect for the work of the English missionaries who had initiated the savages of Oceania in a knowledge of the doctrine of Christ, and in the arts of civilization ; but M. Pritchard, in his eyes, was no missionary ; he was a mere trader, an intriguer, the mayor of the Palace of Queen Pomare, the King of Ota heite. All the French authorities in the Pacific spoke in high terms of the English missionaries, M. Pritchard alone excepted. M. Malleville had blamed the establish ment of the French at Otaheite, because he had foreseen all the obstacles and complications that occupation would produce • but once the French flag hoisted on that island, he had felt it imperative to defend its honour and dignity. He then described all the circumstances that had preceded and followed the arrest of M. Pritchard. M. Pritchard, he said, was no longer an English Con sul; he had remained at Otaheite as a spy on the French ; he had had many opportunities to proceed to his new residence, but he had no doubt received in :structions from his Government to remain at a post where he had rendered, and could yet render, such im portant services. M. Malleville next proceeded to con demn the manner in which the negotiations relative to Otaheite had been conducted in London and Paris, and entreated the Members of the House, who two days before wished to save the existence of the Ministry, to vote for his amendment, and thereby save the dignity of the conntry. M. Peyramont rose to reply. He combated the amend ment, because it implied that nothing was due to England, and that England had been wanting in good feeling cod equity towards France. This meant, in his opinion, that the indemnity agreed to be paid to Mr. Pritchard should not be paid by the Ministry which would succeed the present Administration. The majority of the Committee on the Address, of which he had been a member, ren dered entire justice to the equity and good feeling of England throughout that affair, and it had determined to insert that conviction in the Address. M. Peyramont then proceeded to justify the conduct of the Ministry, amidst the murmurs of the Opposition. M. Odillon Barrot, who followed, referred to whet bad occurred at the close of the last session, when a 'Minister of Great Britain had declared in Parliament that an insult, a gross outrage, had been offered to the honour of England. hied the French Cabinet, he asked, responded to that expression, which, to say the least of it' was imprudent, either by recriminations or other wise ? No ! After examining the events of which Otaheite had been the theatre, he protested on his soul and conscience, in presence of the facts, of the docu ments submitted to the assembly, and the declarations of the Minister for Foreign Aftiairs, that the disavowal of M. d'Aubigny and the indemnity granted to M. Prit chard, were not, as asserted in the Address,:conformable to equity. He then painted M. Pritchard as the author of all the calamities that had fallen on the French at Otaheite. He had remained there without any official character, to prevent Queen Pomare from returning among her subjects and restoring peace ; —he remained there to give time to his agents to kindle the fire of revolt ; and when this object had been attained, he was preparing to quit the island in the darkness of night, when M. d Aubigny fot nd it his duty, under the apprehension of approaching danger, to arrest the fugitive ; and although the guilt of the latter was so evident that the Ministry itself was obliged to admit it, it was the unfortunate officer who bad adopted that indispensable measure for the security of his command who had been visited with a disavowal, and the wretch, the promoter of the revolt, at whose in stigation murder and incendiarism pervaded the island, was to receive compensation, because he bad been de tained during a few days a prisoner ; and so degrading a concession had been demanded and exacted in the face of Europe from noble France 1 M. Odillon Barrot said, that he would willingly choose the English people for hie judge in the affair ; and he had so high an opinion of .. se, 4.1 5 ..4/ AV •11.4.4 LiVc. tic n Cu uy a _creme. Ministry. Its concluding, he declared that there was no equity, no reciprocity, in granting an indemnity to the instigator of a war of savages against civilisation, par ticularly under the threats which had been preferred from the British tribune. M. Guizot was in possession of the tribune at the hour of post. RAILWAYS. The report of the Board of Trade published in the Gazette of Friday night, relative to railways, caused some little fluctuation in the value of the shares of the several lines alluded to. Newcastle and Berwick im proved to and left off at 11i to 121 premium, being a considerable rise on previous prices. Few of the Irish lines are yet quoted, and hence no great alteration was perceptible in them, but still the decision of the Board is regarded as favourable to those securities. The Eastern Counties did not suffer much, for although they opened rather flat on Saturday morning, their final quotation was much the same as on Friday. The shareholders in this company, notwithstanding the rejection of the Colchester and Bury branch, do not seem to be the least fearful of their success in the Cambridge and Lincoln and the York struggle, which accounts for the firmness with which the stock is supported. They stand on the opinion that the policy of the Government is Con servative, and that every support will be given by the Board of Trade to existing lines which can shower' fair claim to increased traffic, in preference to deluging the public with competitive undertakings—a system likely, ;0 the long run, to be productive of mischief, nut only in share speculations, but also in the ultimate ad vantages to be derived from railway communication. Eastern Counties, in consequence. still retrain 18 to 184; and Cambridge and Lincoln, 2 to 2+ premium. The 'market in other respects was fairly steady, and a large amount of business was tran.,acted. There was hardly sec much done in the French securities on Saturday as hitherto, but considering the present state of excitement connected with our own projects, and the near approach of the Parliamentary session, when all will be bustle and confusion in the matter, this is not very extraordinary. Another circumstance against an extended business it. these securities is the very high value they already bear for newly recognised schemes in our market. The monthly returns of the French railways show an amount of nearly 50,000/. for December on 289 miles of railway. At the corresponding period of the previous year the amount was only 37,0001. The increase is stated partly to arise from additional lines opened, but exclusive of these sources the advance per month over last year amounts to 7,0001., or 18 per cent. The follow ing are the French lines not yet opened, but now tinder course of construction :—Amiens and Boulogne, 79 miles, by Laffitte and Co.; Avignon and Marseilles, 72 mile:, by Talabot and Co.; Orleans and Bordeaux, 300 mike, by Mackenzie and Co.; Orleans and Centre, 51 mile:, by the Orleans Company; Paris and Sceaux, 8-s miles, by Arnoux and Co.; Rouen and Havre, 57 miles, by Laffitte and Co.—Times. A (ommercial case has been submitted to us with a request for an answer. The writer, it appears, has had some produce consigned to him by a correspondent in India. This correspondent has drawn bills against the consignment, and has handed to the party purchasing the bills the shipping documents as a security, sue: documents to he delivered to the consignee on paymen. of the bills, either under discount or at maturity. The bills are presented and accepted, " payable if accom panied by such shipping documents." On the arrival of the ship, which takes place before the bills become due, the owner of the bills applies to the consignee to retire his acceptances. The consignee replies that he will do 50, when he requires the property against which the goods are drawn, the property being held as security. against the acceptances. The holder of the bills re joins that the acceptances must be retired at once (under discount at the bank rate), or he will pass entry for the goods, and charge two per cent. commission for so doing. The questio n is, whether he has a right to tai:.. this step. This case we have referred to experience d parties in the City, and the opinion seems to be that the holder of the bills has clearly no right to roceed in the manner described abo ve until the bills have arrived at maturity. Even if the bills were already due, and had been dishonoured. it seems very doubtful that the holder. after effecting a sale to reimburse himself, could make. any charge in the shape of commission. The question however, more fitted for a professi ona l adviser than for a public journal.— Times.

GAGEMENTS, and an outline of the ARRANGEMENTS which be has entered into for the ENSUING SEASON of FRENCH PLAYS, which will commence on THIS EVENING, January :27, and which, he trusts, will be deemed worthy the distinguished Patronage hitherto conferred upon his Theatre. The Season will commence by the Engagement of Monsieur Lafont (of the Theatre des Varietes,, his First Appearance at this Theatre, for whose performance the popular Plays of " Le Che valier de Saint Georges," " Le Chevalier du Guet," " Pierre le Rouge," " Requefinette," " Pere et Fils, &c, &c., &c., will be produced. Mademoiselle Nathalie (ef the Theatre du Gymnase) will also appear conjointly with Monsieur Lafont. After whom, the eminent Actor, Monsieur Frederick Lemaitre (who has accepted an engagement for a limited number of Nights 3nly), and Mademoiselle Clarisse, will appear, until the close of the Season at Easter. During the Engagement of Monsieur Frede cick Lemaitre, the popular Plays of " Don Caesar de Baran," and "Ruy Bias," by Victor Hugo, as originally performed by him with so much success, will be produced; as well as the last New Piece 'f the Porte St. Martin, which now excites such extraordinary "nterest in Paris, and in which M. Frederick has performed for Ten consecutive Weeks, entitled " La Dame de Saint Tropez." After Easter, the eminent Actress, Madame Albert (engaged for a few nights only), will appear in the Two New Comedies of the Theatre Francais, " Une Femme a Quarante Ana,'' and " Le Mari a la Campagne," in addition to " Mathilde, ou la Jalouise ;" and Marie, ou les Trois Epochs;" with other favourite Pieces of her repertoire ; and will be succeeded by the popular Comic Actor, Monsieur Ravel (of the Theatre du Palais Royale), who will make his First Appearance in this Country. The Engagement of Monsieur Ravel will be followed by those of Mademoiselle Plessy, and Monsieur Regnier (of the Theatre Francais, his First Appearance in this Country). It is intended, at that period of the Season, to produce, under the superintendence of Monsieur Cartigny, some of the finest Comedies of the French Stage. In addition to which, Mr. Mitchell has the honour to announce, that an entirely New Comedy will be produced, written .xpressly for the Company by the eminent French Author, Mon sieur Alexandre Dumas, who will be present in London to direct . -.,.. he mise en scene of his New Composition.

DISCOVERY 'OF LITHOGRAPHIC STONE IN CANADA. —Mr. Logan, th e geo l og i s t, a t p resent employed i n a geological survey of Canada, has made a discovery, says the Mont-eel Gazette of November 21, which promises to be of great importance. He has found, near Lake Siincoe (which is some little distance north of Lake On tario, and forms the eastern boundary of the great western peninsula of Canada), a great bed of lithographic stone—namely, that used in the lithographic art for taking the drawings, and producing the impressions on paper. So large is this bed that Mr. Logan has explored it for sixty or seventy miles. Hitherto Germany has been the sole source from which the world has been sup plied with this valuable article, and the supply there is limited, and distant from any port of shipment. Speci mens, which were sent to London, have been pronounced by competent judges to be of the finest quality. THEATRE ROYAL, DRUJ tY-LANE. THIS EYENINIG THE WEATHER.—SUN OFFICE, JAN. 27.

COURTENAY, and such results, on any similar occasion, perhaps never were brought to light. Straightforward conduct, honesty of purpose, charity which doth not behave itself unseemly, strict adherence to truth, and fearlessness in a good cause, were expected of these holy men, but woful was the failure. It would be difficult to find, among the lowest of the human race, among the miserable, ignorant, and profligate' that appear before our police-courts, such instances of mean deception, contemptible shuffling, and vain attempts to conceal the truth, as were.manijated at a meeting of the inhabitants of Exeter on Thursday. The Rev. F. COURTENAY, it appears, was allowed to appear, in order, as was understood, to make a state ment which would carry into effect the object of the requisitionists, and settle the differences between him and his flock. The important disclosure amounted to this—" You have met," said he, " to take into con sideration what steps shall be taken to gut an end to the disturbances to which our parish has been sub jected for the last two Sundays. These disturbances have resulted from a continued use of the surplice in preaching. I am in a position to tell you that I have authority to discontinue the use of the surplice." This announcement was not received very graciously. Loud cries of " Oh !" and " Too late," resounded through the assembly, and the speaker, evidently ashamed of his conduct, and afraid, perhaps, of some unwelcome interrogatories, was anxious to retire, " for," said he, " I think that there can be no reason why I should stay among you longer." The Protestants assem bled, however, thought otherwise, for the use or disuse of the surplice was only a very secondary object of the meeting. The main point was the cha racter—and, consequently, the usefulness or the worthlessness of their pastor, and Mr. COURTENAY was, therefore, requested to wait, in justice to him self, that he might explain or deny certain reports prevalent in the parish. The following are the reports, as set forth by one of the speakers with great mode ration and good feeling. First, Mr. COURTENAY was reported to have stated, in reference to a requisition, signed by many respectable parishioners, that "there was only one name he regretted to see there ; for the rest he did not care the snap of his finger." Secondly, he was reported to have said that " he would sooner suffer his right arm to be cut off than surrender the course he had pursued." Thirdly, the Rev. Gentleman, on seeing a notice posted at the church gates, calling one of their meetings, " had torn it down in a petulant way, and stamped it under his feet." And, lastly, he had said of those who had taken part at these meetings, that " they were only rifraff, and the sooner the Church was rid of them the better." These are serious charges against a minister of peace, but the manner in which they were met only added to the original offences, and convinced the parishioners, as shown by one of their resolutions, that " he ought to withdraw himself from a ministry which he could no longer usefully or pro fitably fulfil."

Morning .. II minutes after 4 I Evening •• 27 minutes after 4 THE SL IN, LONDON, MONDAY MENING, JANUARY 27, 1845 declared that with 100,000 men judiciously employed the colonization of Algeria would proceed more rapidly and satisfactorily. M. ST. MARC GIRARDIN, lately one of the editors of the Journal des Debats, followed the Marshal, and spoke strongly in favour of the amendment. The speeches made by BUGEAUD and GIRARDIN are given at length in another part of the paper. The amend ment was rejected without a division. The result of the division on the PRITCHARD indemnity excited some interest. A strong party it was said would oppose any vote whatever, and if Ministers had a majority, it would be very small. The defeat of M. GUIZOT on this point is extremely improbable, as it would place the aspirants to office in rather an awkard predicament. The case is thus placed in its true light by the Ministerial Globe :—" There is re lative to the eventual indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD a little piece of very simple reasoning, which we re commend to all who are blinded by the desire of being Ministers. The plesent Cabinet is pledged to the Cabinet of London to give Mr. PRITCHARD an equitable indemnity, not for his expulsion from Ota heite, but for the uselessly severe treatment which he underwent, and which M. BRUAT himself was the first to blame. The present Cabinet is therefore pledged to an indemnity, but France is not. A new Cabinet, free from all engagement in this respect, would be at liberty to refuse the indemnity at it s ri s k and,peril. The persons who, in order to become Minis ters, blame the indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD, under take to refuse it in case they should replace the present Cabinet; for it would not be possible for them, unless they became models of roguery, and an object of public contempt, to find honourable for themselves what they find blameable in the others. Therefore, to condemn the indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD to-day is to promise to refuse it to-morrow. But is there a Cabinet bold, rash, and foolish enough to commence by a rupture with England, and to sacrifice for three fourths of a score of thousand francs, perhaps the prosperity of France and the peace of the world ? We do not hesitate to say no ! This question, there fore, of the indemnity of Mr. PRITCHARD is not by any means serious, since it could not be got rid of but by a rupture with England, and every one feels that such a question is not worth such an extremity?' The Opposition journals, in commenting on the defeat of their party, are much divided in opinion. The Constitutionnel says nothing is decided by the vote. It is only an adjournment, not a victory. The writer adds :—" It is said, indeed, that some of the majority thought the amendment was too general, and conceived that, by adopting it, they would be con demning some of their former votes, and, therefore, re served their disapprobation and their black balls for special amendments, more directly aimed at the faults committed. The game is not won by the Cabinet; the balloting urn is like the urn of destiny; there are seen to come out of it all the alternations of fortune— unexpected defeat, unhoped for success, and sudden returns. Be it so. We, in fact, shall not think that the Chamber has given its final fiat in this discussion untill we see the Address voted." The Courrier Francais cannot see any grounds for consolation, and thus laments the result : " It is all over ; we believe in the eternity of the Mi nistry of October 29. It had against it three weighty questions—Morocco, Otaheite, and the right of search, in which the amendment stated that it bad failed in forethought and firmnefs. Never had so heavy an accu mulation of faults and shame weighed on a Cabinet, never had the heart of a nation reproved more energetically an ensemble of Ministerial acts. In fine, men considered in the two Chambers as the highest from their position, experience, and talent, have spoken against it, whereas its defence has been marked by a feebleness to surprise even its adversaries. And it triumphs ! Each fault strengthens, and each shame confirms it ; the pri vilege of impunity belongs to it ; let it then be invulnerable, immortal, immoveable, since so the Chamber wills. For us, it suffices that it be well understood that the majority of the national repre sentation only serves to cover with a Bill of indemnity a deplorable system of government which the country con demns ' • that the Ministry at present has no longer an y need of the power of eloquence to colour the disgrace of its policy; without rhetorical artifices, without display of eloquence, without any exaggerated expenditure of sophism, flat, dry, and naked, the policy of October 29 is welcomed amongst the majority." The Quotidienne exclaims : " Hurrah for England ! M. Guizot triumphs ! The ballot has shown the presence of 422 Members, of whom 197 only consented to recognise that the policy of the systeme has not been prevoyante, has not been fertne. For, alas! it is in these terms that the Opposition has been confined by the intrigue; consequently, the Ministerial majority is 28. Let us confess that there is in this vote 2312111111 Lg, no doubt, but - at the same time incontestable. It has been told from every point of the dynastic horizon that the English alliance is necessary; that for the young esta blishment there is no other ; that Austria is indifferent, Prussia disdainful, Russia hostile ; that no Ministry can or dare reject the entente cordiale." The National attributes _the result to the timidity of M. SALVANDY, and. some other friends of M. DUFAURE, and looks forward to better days : "M. Guizot has been the conqueror ; 422 Members have taken part in the ballot. Only 212 votes were re quired to save the Cabinet—it had 225, thirtern more than the absolute majority. The Opposition only got to gether 197 votes, so that it had a relative inferiority of 28. We know well that this is not enormous, that fifteen individuals in changing position could overturn the Mi nistry. We know that at the last moment some Depu ties, further in the intrigue than others, withdrew with out voting. We know that MM. de Salvandy, Lepelle tier d'Aulnay, Lasnier, and some other friends of M. Dufaure, refused to apply to the condu c t o f th e Mi n i stry a general and abSolute blame ! Say what you please, arrange figures, seek for consolations, the !fact is there— M. Guizot has triumphed But now that this paltry duel of personal pretensions is decided, let generous voices at last arise to say the whole truth to the country; let the discussion assume proportions worthy of the af fairs of a great people. Leave the majority in their litter, speak to France and for France as one speaks of what is durable, as that which must increase, in spite of this unwholesome policy, to which the unthinking cling, without seeing that each day pushes it closer to its tomb." " Several manifestations have been made at Geneva against the Jesuits. Popular meetings have been held. A petition, invested with 2,500 signatures, has been addressed to the Grand Council, and referred to the Council of State. The speeches delivered by the Presi dent of the Grand Council and by the First Syndic at the ceremony of Dec. 31 leave no doubt of the opposition of the two first bodies of the State to the introduction of the Society of Jesus into the canton of Lucerne, and we have every reason to be persuaded that when the moment shall have come Geneva will not be last to adopt, and even to solicit, the necessary decrees for keeping this scourge at a distance from Switzerland." A letter from Vienna, January 17, in the Journal de Frankfort, says:— " To-day the Archduke Albert was formally invested with the command of the troops of Upper and Lower Austria. Field-Marshal Baron de Wimpfen, the prede cessor of the Archduke Albert in the superior command of Upper and Lower Austria, presented the general and superior officers to his Royal Highness, who received them most graciously."

IT Amen= LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1845. We publish, in another column, two documents, which, though they come before the world in a very unpretending form, will be found not less remarkable for the good sense they embody than for the good feeling that pervades them. We allude to "An Ad dress presented to JAMES MATHESON, Esq., M.P., with a silver snuff-box, by the working classes of the borough of Ashburton," and to the answer of the Hon. Member to that address. There is a touching tone of simplicity and earnestness about the one—a frank and manly truthfulness about the other—which stand out in refreshing contrast to the more studied and more excited displays of reciprocated compliment and professions, that have become, of late, so common at agricultural protection and other county meetings. There is, to be sure, in the documents we speak of, no pattern-Duke--no " farmer's friend" (and landlord) besprinkled with flattery " that licks the dust." There is no parade of magnanimous self-denial or self -gratula don, by the wealthy landowner and man of office, an conceding to his tenants the enviable privilege of destroying rabbits and hares, provided they leave, in tact, the pheasants and the partridges for his exclu sive sport, at the cost of whatever ravages these in violable game may meanwhile commit on their growing crops. This is an affair altogether of genuine, hearty, personal respect, on the part of a constituency for their representative—on the part of the representative, for his constituents. We need hardly remind our readers that Mr. MATHESON is one of the most eminent among that in valuable body of British merchants who have amassed in remote countries—in China, for example—enormous fortunes, by the ability, judg ment, and high integrity with which they have con ducted their vast commercial operations. Since his return from China, he has become the proprietor of .he large island of Lewis ; and, enormous as was the iurchase-money he paid for that vast extent of ter ritory, we have no doubt, from the observation we have devoted to his most useful career, that he will more than redeem all the high anticipations which Dr. PATRICK CAMPBELL, eighty years ago, had formed, in respect of the Lewis and of its vast natural ca pabilities and undeveloped resources. The sagacious and well-informed author of the " Political Survey of Great Britain" predicted that, whenever the energy of capital, directed by a spirit of judicious as well as liberal enterprise, should be brought to act upon that extensive region of the Hebrides; the product of its fisheries alone would surpass any preconceived no tions that might have been formed of it. It is certain that so enormous an extent of coast line, in dented with so many creeks, small bays, deep locks, and natural harbours, offers facilities for such a trade, which the improved commercial means of Ireland, that may be calculated on as certain to result from the rapid extension of railway communications throughout the length and breadth of that fine coun try, will, in two or three years, stimulate to unprece dented activity and importance. The distinguished privilege of providing a permanent market for the enterprise of many thousands of, perhaps, the hardiest, ind certainly of some of the most intrepid and in ,lustrious of his countrymen, could not have fallen into hands that might be expected _t9 usls . .kt i irmsse But this gentleman will seldom receive, we appre hend, a more honourable or a less equivocal testimony to his public and private character than is pourtrayed in every line of the address from the borough of Ash burton. Two thousand of the poorer, but assuredly not of the least intelligent, of his constituents, sub scribe their humble mites to purchase a snuff-box ; and this they present to him with that warm and even enthusiastic expression of their respect and gratitude which we this day bring under the notice of our readers. We abstain from further commentary uron it—only because it speaks so emphatically for itself, to the honour of those from whom it emanates, and of him to whom it is addressed. Mr. Mantesoses answer is one of genuine acknowledgment, such as was due to so genuine a compliment. He accepts their present in the language of a man deeply sensible how much the manner of a graceful act may enhance the matter ; and with equal good taste and generosity receives their souvenir, as if it had been a diamond studded Lox transmitted from a crowned head. It is evident that he rightly appreciates, above the price of all the jewels that could have decked it, the "good will towards him," of which it is the token. IVe have been particularly struck by the considerate sen timent, forcibly and happily expressed in this passage of his answer. " The testimony in question," he says, " is the more gratifying from the manner in which it has been arranged; for, first, it is a source of satis faction to me to know that none of the contributors have been put to inconvenience by the share they have borne in it ; and, secondly, the large number of those who have joined in presenting me this gift is the best possible proof of the unanimity of feeling which suggested it, and the harmony of opinion which it is designed and intended to convey." On the progress of free trade, " meaning thereby the abolition of all merely productive duties," he ex presses his entire concurrence in the sentiments of his constituents—holding its practical establishment to be calculated for the certain benefit of the world at large; but, for the especial and palpable advantage of Great Britain, from the nature of her present position and relations, he deems it would as surely operate, as he conceives it to be absolutely essential. This very important topic is handled with all the effect which might to have been expected from a gentleman of his large experience and high practical authority. But the views he announces as to the vital exigencies that call, on all hands, for the most extended diffusion of the blessings of edu cation, are such as must ratify, to the later period of their connexion, the claims upon their affecti,n and regard which Mr. MATnEsoN has evidently established among the townspeople of rk*hburton. He alludes to the crime, disease, and misery still operating in England, and to their causes and he remarks that—" For these evils, education, intellectual, moral, and religious, with training to habits and practices as well as professions of good, will be found the most effectual cure." He concludes by exhorting his friends to bring up their children in liberal principles. It is not likely they will forget an admonition given by a gentleman who in his own person has nobly illustrated the influence of those principles on character. Of his response to the honest and fervent wishes expressed in the address, for the continuedfhappiness of himself and his lady, it is unnecessary for us to say more than that they breathe the same open and friendly spirit as the rest of his reply ; but we have rarely perused two documents of so much higher and more earnest a cha racter than those elicited in the usual routine of such affairs ; and we have only to add our humble fell- citations to those of Mr. M.xTwesoN's Ashburton "riends. He well deserves them. The new sect which has sprung up in the Church, like all new sects, proclaims that it alone maintains the true faith, and that the religion of PUSEY, NEWMAN, and their followers, is sanctioned by Divine as well as human authority. The sceptical public— for in these days a clergyman's word is not gospel— naturally require proofs of these claims; they judge of the tree by its fruit, and of the faith which a man professes by his works. This test, fortunately, was applied by the Protestants of Exeter, last week, to their bishop, and the unfortunate young man 1 ARREST OF ZURBANO. A Bayonne letter of the 22d inst., just received, announces the arrest of Zurbano, in the neighbour hood of Logrono, on the 19th inst. Ihe intelligence was received by a French courier, who met at Bur gos the express conveying the tidings to Madrid. Another account unfortunately confirms this news, and adds, that he was shot without trial on the 20th. The accounts of his arrival at Lisbon had therefore probably been put forth in order to deceive his pursuers. We have been informed, and we hope it is true, that the Admiralty have it in contemplation to improve the dress of the midshipmen of the Navy, by giving them gold aigudlettes when in full dress, similar to those worn by aspirants in the French and other Navies; f or nothing can be more unmeaning than the white patch on the collar. The mates, too, we have heard, are to wear goldfrogs in full dress, without the bullion, which will be a great improvement. The uniform of the higher grades also requires amendment, as it is impossible at present to distinguish the different ranks of officers._Naval and Military Gazette. scene : " With regard to the first question, I am Rot aware of having said anything of the sort." (Non mi ricordo.) " With regard to the next question, I have repeatedly said, I would rather cut off my arm than do what it was my duty not to do.' (This is no answer to the ques tion, which referred entirely to the use of the surplice.) " As to pulling down the notice, I constantly pull off notices from the church-gates. It was hanging in strips when I pulled it down." " A Parishioner—l saw it, and it was not in strips. " Mr. Courtenay—l don't say it was in strips ; but when I pulled it, it came in strips." The last question was not answered. A loud burst of groaning and yelling followed, in the midst of which Mr. COURTENAY retired. Now it is a sin gular fact that these answers and the statement about his authority for discontinuing the surplice are all characteristic of this new Jesuitical school. No direct reply is given ; there is nothing but evasion throughout, if we except his allusion to the authority of the bishop, which is something worse. The bishop gave him no authority for discontinuing the surplice. He left the affair to his own conscience, the pious prelate no doubt believing that his pupil was a man of his word, and would rather have his arm cut off than yield on the only point at issue. These are the bishop's " plain instructions," and they confirm the old proverb, "Like master, like man." " As Ido not feel myself competent to decide what course is fittest, I inclose this letter open to the mayor, who will either deliver it to you, or not, as he in his dis cretion shall deem proper. If you receive this letter, tir We - request of the civil authorities of Exeter, and not to persist in wearing the surplice in the pulpit, unless, conscientiously and on full inquiry, you have satisfied yourself that your engagements to the Church require you to wear the surplice when you preach. Ido not myself think that the matter is so free from doubt that you may not act on your bishop's advice as now given to you. Still I do not pretend to any right to order you to wear the gown." So this is the new morality which these enemies of the Protestant faith are preparing for the Esta blished Church. Our readers can draw their own conclusions and contrast the truth, the candour, and the open, manly conduct of Protestants, with the reservations, falsehoods, and plots of a sect, that most Catholic churches have expelled from their community. The Madrid Gazette of the 18th inst. publishes an account of the Three per Cent. Debentures issued between the 16th and 31st of December last, in consequence of the liquidation and conversion of credits created by contracts, Treasury bonds, and the centralised floating debt. The amount of these securi ties is 36,171,562 reals. Among the Court gossip in the Madrid journals, is an account of a grand din ner given by the French Ambassador to General NARVAEZ, Mr. BULWER, General CONCHA, and others. We are glad to find from these papers that a pardon has been granted to General PRIM, who had been so unjustly condemned by the evidence of persons not entitled to credit. The following decree appears in the Gazette of the 19th : " In the exercise of the prerogative granted to me by the 46th article of the Constitution, and by the advice of my Council of Ministers, I remit the penalty to which Major-General Don Juan Prim, Count de Reus, was condemned by a court-martial composed of General Officers. " Given at the Palace on the 18th of Jan., 1845, and signed with the Queen's hand." . _ _ An extraordinary courier had been sent off to Cadiz to announce the news to General Pint, who was in prison at that place. He is allowed to return to Madrid. The Three per Cents. closed at 31i for cash, and 31i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 23 for the 14th of March ; :the Coupons at 27i at 60 days; and the Debt without interest, at 7 3.16 at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Friday and Saturday in discussing the Address. Two more amendments were proposed—one on Friday by M. DE BEAUMONT, expressing a wish that the Cham ber could have congratulated themselves, without re serve, on the speedy re-establishment of peace and the brilliant success of French arms, and another by M. DE MALLEVILLE, objecting to an indemnity to Mr. PRITCHARD. The discussion on this amendment was not brought to a close when the post left, but it was generally understood that it would be rejected. The discussion on the motion of M. DE BEAUMONT was chiefly interesting from the speech made by Marshal BUGEAUD, justifying the course pursued by Government in settling the Morocco war. When he first read the treaty he ad mitted that some of the clauses did not appeared to him satisfactory. He blamed the stipu lation relative to ABD-EL-KADER, and the absence of guarantees ; but subsequent events in Morocco had since convinced him that the Government had perhaps acted more wisely. The EMPEROR would not have been free to execute the conditions of the treaty, particularly as respected Ann-EL-KADER—that powerful enemy, that man of genius, who would Rot leave any repose to the French so long as he should have a soldier left. Marshal BUGEAUD confessed that he had been surprised by the attack of the Moors, for nothing announced any serious hostility on that side. He had, however, soon collected his detached forces, and might not at first have been sufficiently strong to march upon Fez, but, after the victory of Isly, when the Moorish army had been completely dispersed, he could have advanced on that city without any great obstacle ; the heat alone presented serious difficulties, for the day after the battle (August 16) the thermometer ranged 47 degrees in the shade (116 of Fahrenheit). He then described the immense works executed by the army in kigeria and the results obtained by the expeditions undertaken into the interior of the regency, in a com mercial point of view, urged the necessity of perse vering in the military system pursued of late, and THIS DAY'S NEWS CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) DALTON V. HAYTER. The Court was engaged during the morning in hear ing this case, which came before it in the form of a motion, upon a point of practice. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE BARON DE BODE V. THE QUEEN. It will be recollected that in this long-protracted case a verdict was given some time ago. There were three issues, and the jury found for the suppliant on the first issue, and for the Crown on the other two. Mr. Hill then moved for and obtained a rule nisi, calling upon the Attorney-General to show cause why judgment should not be given for the suppliant, notwithstanding that the jury found for the Crown on the other two issues. The Solicitor-General also obtained a rule nisi, calling upon the suppliant to show cause why judgment should not be given for the Crown, notwithstanding that the jury found for the suppliant on the first issue. This being the state of the case, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now moved to make his rule absolute. Mr. HILL said that the Solicitor-General had shown no grounds to the Court for his rule when he moved for it. He did not, therefore, know what objections he had to contend against, and in such circumstances he thought it hard to be called on to proceed till he had beard the objections of the Solicitor-General to the rule which he (Mr. Hill) had obtained. Lord DExmax said that the Court had no choice. The Solicitor-General had obtained a rule, and it was the usual course of proceeding to make that rule absolute, unless cause against it were shown en the other side. Mr. HILL complained of being called on to argue in the dark and to start imaginary objections, which might or might not be used on the other side, and then to combat them. It had been said that a petition of right would not lie in this case, but the Chancellor in giving his judgment upon this case when the Attorney• General opposed the motion for the petition, said it was due ex debito justicile. Why did not the Crown take this objection in 1839. It was mon strous on the part of the Crown to say that a petition of right would not lie now, after the un happy suppliant had been put to all the expense of tra versing the inquisition. It had been said that a petition of right would not lie except for land ; but that 'objec tion had been disposed of so long ago as the reign of Henry VI. Would it be said that a petition of right would not lie for unliquidated damages ? It was laid down by the old law writers that a petition of right would be given in all suits against the Crown. What remedy was there for the Baron de Bode, if it was not that of the petition of right ? There was no right without a remedy. In the case of Ashley and White, Lord Holt said it was monstrous to say that there was a right, and that there was no remedy. It was not alleged on the other side that there was any other remedy, and be was entitled to assume that the petition of right was the proper remedy till the contrary was shown on the other side. The Learned Gentleman cited authority to show that a petition of right would lie against the Crown for work and labour done fur the Crown, for money lent or goods supplied to the King. He apprehended then it could not be maintained that a petition of right would not lie for unliquidated damages. He would next ask, was there anything in this particu lar case to preclude the suppliant from his petition of right. By the treaty of 1814, between France and Eng land, compensation was given in respect of property belonging to British subjects, which had been unduly confiscated during the Revolution. It was found by the jury that the Baron was a British subject, that his pro perty was confiscated, and that he made his claim within the proper time. The French Government had acted in the fairest and most honourable manner. It did its duty—nay, more than its duty, for they offered a million of money more than the Duke of Wellington, who, on the part of the British Government, inspected the ac counts, thought they ought to receive. There was a surplus remaining in the hands of the Treasury after the other claimants had been satisfied, and he was entitled to say that this surplus belonged to the suppliant. But, if it were not his, it could not, at all events, belong to the British Government : they received it upon trust, and if ,he claimants were all satisfied, the surplus clearly ought to be handed over to the French Government. It was allowed that the claim of th• Baron de Bode was not satisfied, and that there remained a surplus of the money given by the French Government, lying in the British treasury. He had, therefore, a right to say that this was money had been received for the use of the Baron de Bode. The Learned Gentleman went on to meet the objections that might arise from the construction of the 59th of Geo. 111., and from the decision come to by the Commis sioners ; and, also, from the construction of the treaty of 1814. (The Learned Gentleman had not concluded his argu ment when we went to press, and there was very little probability of the arguments on both sides being brought to a conclusion to-day.) BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) BOOKER V. TIBBOCK. Mr. KNOWLES moved for a rule to show cause why an attachment issued against the plaintiff, and obtained by his Learned Friend Mr. Cowling, on a former day, should not be set aside. The circumstances of the case might be easily explained. The affidavit stated that an order was made by the Court of Assizes, held at Liverpool, ..r iit444.l.eb 1 11LeawbGell Uu ehlier side, ruling that certain letters patent should be assigned to the plaintiff, and that he should pay over to the defendant the sum of 1001. as expenses. The time for paying such sum was not imperative, and therefore he (Mr. Knowles) contended that the assignment of the letters patent (the first ground of the action) should have been made to the plaintiff, ere the expenses of the case were paid to tke defendant. His friend Mr. Cowling did not once attempt to say that this had been done, and had he (Mr. Knowles) been allowed by the Court to file certain affidavits in the case, he should have been able to prove affirmatively that, which was almost negatively admitted on the other side. lie hoped, therefore, that on a mere principle of equity the attachment should be set aside. Mr. COWLING contended that nothing in the order warranted the inference sought to be established, that the act of assignment should precede the paying of the expenses, and he trusted, therefore, that his Learned Friend's application would be dismissed. Mr. Justice WiGirrsiaN said the attachment was not returnable for a fortnight, and as the order seemed to infer that the payment of the 1001. should be immediate, the Court would merely suspend it for that time. EXCHEQUER. -(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) WADE V. SIMEON. The application in this case was reported in The Sun of Saturday, and judgment was postponed until this morning. On taking his seat on the bench The LORD CHIEF BARON said—ln the case of Wade against Simeon we have looked into the affidavits, and it appears to us that there can be no doubt of the autho rity and jurisdiction of the Court extending to a case of this nature. The case of Blight v. Brewer, 3d Dowling's Reports, page 266, which was cited as an authority on Saturday, was a case where there had been judgment and execution; and the Court, therefore, had no occa sion to interfere in order to enforce the cognovit between the parties. We think there can be no doubt that in any stage of the proceedings, so long as there remains any necessity for an appeal to the authority of the Court, or any occasion to call for the exercise of its jurisdiction, the Court has an undoubted right to interfere, and it is its duty to interfere if it perceive that the process juris diction of the Court is about to be used for purposes which are not consistent with justice. Here no judg ment has been, signed, and it cannot be signed except under the authority and sanction of the Court. The question really is, therefore, whether this case is anala gous to instances where there has been a consent as to an intervening step, or a verdict of the jury in invitum, or whether it is to be treated like the case of an arbitra tion or a judgment and execution executed. It appears to us that it is not like the case of an arbitration, because there the question is, by consent, removed to another forum ; and as soon as it has been agreed that the cause shall be referred, it immediately falls under all the rules and all the practice in reference to awards, as to which the Court will inter fere only in certain circumstances and under certain limitations. Upon the first question, therefore, we are clearly of opinion that the Court has jurisdiction—that it has a duty to exercise with respect to the process to be used in the ulterior stages of the cause. Upen the merits of the case it is sufficient to say, we are of opinion that there is a point which is fit to be submitted to a jury. We think, therefore, that the rule ought to be made absolute ; that the money should remain in Court to abide the event ; that the plaintiff should have judgment, if necessary, on the day on which he would be entitled to sign judgment if this application had not been made ; that the defendant should pay the costs of the application, and continue to pay the interest according to the agreement ; and that the trial should proceed so as to put the plaintiff in the same situation as he would have been in if this applica tion had not been made. Mr. W ATSON, as Counsel for the plaintiff, wished to know if the Court would not provide for the case of either of the parties dying before the trial of the action? The LORD CHIEF BARON said, if either the plaintiff or the defendant should die the action would proceed.— Rule absolute. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) DANIEL V. CAMPLIN. This was an appeal from Bristol against the d( cisien of the Revising Barrister, who had allowed the vote of Mr. Camplin, an inhabitant of that city. The case was part heard on Monday last. Mr. Sergeant KISGLARE having replied this morning on behalf of the respondent, The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it appeared to him that the decision of the Revising Barrister was right. The objection taken to' the vote of the claimant was that in the lists made out by the overseer the nature of the property, in respect of which the claim was made, was improperly described. The words in the list were " Camp /in William , High-street, house and shop," and the objec tion was that the claim ought to have been for " a joint occupation of house and shop." The objection was con fined entirely to the list made out by the overseers. It had been urged, that inasmuch as that Court had decided that each successive set of premises must be mentioned in the statement of qualification, it ought in this cue to have been stated whether the occupation was joint or several. The ground, however, of the decision i❑ ques tion was, that these successive occupations constituted, in fact, the one subject matte: - of the claim ; in the present case it was only to au incident attending upon the claim that the objection applied. He thought, ra therefore, that the claimant and the overseerhad co.i.; plied with the provisions Of the Act in expresstvg of qualification as they had done, and that t he name the claimant had been properly retained.
