Sanitary reformers want him to forego the duty levied on windows. Nevl in to3irier proprietors, and publishers generally, want him remit the imposts on paper, as a manufactured com modity. Some want him to run his pencil through the inalt-tax, and others desire the same thing to to done by the tax on advertisements. It must be ac knowledged that the Right Honourable Baronet has rather a perplexing time of it, among so many, such diversified, and such persevering interro gators. Deputation after deputation is admitted to an interview with him in his official residence, and ar, to little or no purpose whatever. Keeping a steady eye on the loose memoranda to be afterwards gathered together for the formation of his Budget, he clings with 4 4, 4 1.: 7 1,VN2 ',, !I tY7 - icli"g i't.ter , it, t,..,-, : .,. - ' (-RAU* low paltry or unjwt—for swelling the 71 i4iiiiv.: 4 4 $ revenue . , Let it be demonstrated as partgaltiFA ..y_itporciArt the health of the people is \c:) nouncement following the very day after of the Finan cial Minister having received the Hon. CHARLES VILLIERS, Sir JAMES DUNE, Mr. WILLIAM EWART, Mr. MURDO YOUNG, Mr. GRANT, and Mr. INGRAM, who attended upon him to the end that they might protest with all imaginable emphasis against the continuance of the duty levied on advertisements. The know ledge of the mere circumstance that movements of this kind are being made, with a view to forward the cause of reform in the prevailing- system of taxation acts as an encouragement to those who sympathize in any manner with the promoters of that essentially patriotic undertaking. Hence it is that we look with complacency on the annual flocking of deputa tions to the cfficial residence of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, satisfied that although he may (and inevitably will) remain inflexible to the force of the most cogent and persuasive arguments, the public at any rate will be awakened from sluggish.. ness to the appreciation of Truth and Justice. The Ultramontanists, wboae present object appears ,o be, so far as practicable, to allay the storms of in dignation excited in the hearts of the Protestant people of England at the recent Papal aggression, the attempt of a foreign potentate to exercise power and authority over the English soil, contend that it is merely " a spiritual and ecclesiastical supremacy" that is claimed—a supremacy which is inseparable from the constitution of the Roman Catholic Church, without which the schismatic body who resisted the assumption would be, to use the words of Dr. Cul.- " a branch cut off from the tree, or a stream divided from the fountain, or a sunbeam from the sun." The admirable pamphlet of Mr. EDWARD JAMES,* to which we directed the public attention in the early part of the week, however, furnishes the best answer to those allegations by showing, that even in what are now termed " the times of Catholic England," the Roman PONTIFF " had not by our laws and constitution any recognized or admitted spiritual authority in Eng land ;" but, on the contrary, that the spiritual claim which in these days was connected with the presentation to benefices, and the control of the Ecclesiastical Courts, was as strenuously and boldly resisted by our Roman Catholic ancestors as it is in the present day by every European nation, no matter what may be the dominant or prevailing religion. The " Voice from the Vatican" was indeed unceasingly heard, endeavouring to support the attempted usurpation, but there was a feeling of nationality, a manly and uncompromising spirit, that maintained the independence of the British people, and prevented them from bowing their necks to the Italian yoke. During successive ages, generation after generation, century after century, that independence was jealously and vigilantly guarded. Even when the " Papal ban" was more formidable, and carried with it greater terror than it could be supposed to occasion at the present day, the ancient British Church as serted its right to govern itself at all times. It con stituted a powerful and influential body even in the the rle ide a t r rt r oe i p v oapli adoptei otr Metropolitan nu, ri A a I. u ef u u t s h 'r e NE English, w b o s ixth b c e e e n nH t u c e r o y n , es ne b cd e re f a o at r re e edu. had t h t e h i r e s) ational nation. to recognise him as bishops their spiritual superior, and also . to respec tive dioceses certain rites and observances. Both these demands, however, were steadfastly op posed, and after ample discussion and calm and mature deliberation rejected in every particular. thenThesupreehmieef authority of the Bishop of ST. DAVID ' S,, piscopacy, w as the and metropolitan o f the English E boldly asser t e d, an d i t was d ec l are d th a t " i t was no t for British interest to own either the Roman pride or the Saxon tyranny." It was not, indeed, until many years afterwards, under,the Norman dynasty, during the reign of the first HENRY, that the Arch bishop of CANTERBUR Y was recognised as the English Primate. Shortly after that spirited assertion of the indepen dence of the British Church, PAULINUS, a friend and companion of AUGUSTINE, who had been appointed Bishop of Northumbria, by EDWIN, King of that district, was superseded by OSWY, the successor of that Monarch, in favour of AIDAN, " to whom the Kurt; granted spiritual authority over his dominions, fixing LEN, • "Has Dr. Wiseman violated the Law ?" By Ed ward James, Esq., ALA., of Lincoln'? Inn, Barrister at-Law. Londoa: James Ridgway, Piccadilly. Considering the many difficulties at all times sur rounding a Chancellor of the Exchequer—bringing him anxious days and sleepless nights, even un der the most favourabli circumstances—it must be confessed that in the long run, and "in his own generation," he is acting wisely when thus ridding himself of these periodical deputations. Instinct assures him that only in this way can he re lieve himself from a multiplicity of embarrassments. Experience tells him that when once the revenue table is docked in one quarter, it must be forthwith added to in another. He knows that without this immediate and premeditated compensation, he runs the risk of finding himself a defaulter to the tune of an odd million or so at the end of the financial twelve months. To ask him, therefore, spontaneously to consent to the remission of such and such particular imposts is about as likely to elicit a favourable response as to ask a hungry giant to lay down his knife and fork at a banquet. The cravings of the financial appetite must be attended to ; and, unhappily, we English have found those cravings to be altogether insatiable. Speaking plainly, therefore, it is little less than mere waste of time, after all, to go down each January to Westminster for the purpose of laying the various grievances of the population before (of all men in the world!) the very man who, from his position and re sponsibilities, is the most solicitous to maintain those identical grievances to the very uttermost. One resource we have left, and the only one likely to prove effectual—the House of Commons. There we may look with something like confidence for the ultimate triumph of our opinions ; but even there only through the resolute application of agitators and petitioners out of doors. Without such preliminaries we may hope in vain for aid of this kind from the Imperial Legislature. True, that advantages indirectly arise to the cause we hold so much at heart from these annual deputations to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It helps to rouse public attention to the existence of a great evil to learn that Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, and Mr. CHARLES KNIGHT, and Mr. WILLIAM CHAMBERS, and Mr. T. B. CROMPTON, and Mr. PETER BORTHWICK, waited upon the Right Hon. Baronet in Downing-street, for the purpose of suggesting to him the propriety of abandoning the paper duty as one pernicious in its influence on the morals and intellects of the commu nity. Equally advantageous in its effect is the an- the seat of his authority at Lindesferne, instead of York, the former see." FINAN, the successor of AIDAN, consecrated CHAD, a Northumbrian, to the see of London. From that time forth we find the Sovereign for the time being appointing and displacing prelates of his own authority, ut terly indifferent to the Papal behests the independent feeling being well expressed by the answer of ALFRED to the letters of the then PON TIFF. "I will never," said that English King, " re voke what my predecessors, by the advice of their counsellors and archbishops, have decreed in obedience to any mandates of the Apostolic see, as you are pleased to call it." From that time forth until the reign of HENRY 1., we find the English Kings not only asserting but continually exercising that power. In the reign of that Monarch, however, the notorious deficiency of whose title to the throne encou raged pretenders of every sort, we find ANSELM, Archbishop of CANTERBURY, " refusing to consecrate Bishops invested by the Crown." His brother of Yong, however, did not concur in these views, but was always ready to consecrate the bishops appointed by the SOVEREIGN, and the barons of those days, who assumed the jurisdiction of, and might almost have been termed petty kings within, their own domains, boldly resisted the encroachments of the Roman See. 'We cannot recapitulate the numerous instances of resistance to the Papal aggressions which the extraordinary labour and research of Mr. JAMES has brought to light. For these we must refer to the pamphlet itself, which will well repay perusal, and which should be closely and atten tively studied by every man desirous of maintaining the independence of his native land. The Protestants will thereby learn the utter absurdity of the claim now preferred ; and the sincere and conscientious Roman Catholics—those who share in the honourable and praiseworthy sentiments of the Premier Duke, Earl, and Baron of England, and of his worthy associates, Lords BEAUMONT and CAMoIs, and a host of others, who feel and think as Englishmen owing allegiance to their ac knowledged SOVEREIGN, will derive additional encouragement to persevere in the course on which they have entered from the laudable conduct of their Roman Catholic ancestors. The great master of human nature, who ever preserved the utmost vraisemblance in all his works, showed the stern de fiance with which even JOHN, at the time an usurper, resisted the arrogant assumption of the PONTIFF : " Thou cant sot, Cardinal, devise a name So slight, unworthy, and ridiculous To charge me to an answer, as the Pope. Tell him this tale, and from the mouth of England Add thus much more,—that no Italian priest Shall tithe or toll in our dominions; But as we, under Heaven, are supreme head, So under Him that great supremacy Where we do reign we will alone uphold, Without the assistance of a mortal hand. So tell the Pope, all reverence set apart To him and his usurped authority." If such were not the genuine sentiments of English men of the day, this would not have received authority and currency from the hand of .SHAKSPERE. The ancient feeling is now restored. The English people are disposed to exclaim with HENRY VIII.-- " I may perceive, These Cardinals trifle with me. I abhor This dilatory sloth and tricks of Rome." And that they may understand the true merits of the question and be enabled to give sufficient reasons for their sentiments, and sustain these views against all opponents, we again strongly recommend ~ a close and attentive perusal of the able pamphlet of Mr EDWARD JAMES. injured, nay, that mortality is very considerably in creased by maintaining the abominable tax on win dows, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer still closes his eyes against the necessity for systematised ventilation, and virtually gainsays the benefits capable of being derived from a generous scheme of improvement. Remind him of the hideous consequences resulting from the maintenance of the detestable impost on paper ; prove to him that through it the multitude are debased by the influence of a villanous and prurient literature; show how the miserable catchpenny periodicals are made up of obscenity and irreligion, and tell him, in words that admit of no denial, that these disseminators of the principles of depravity sell to the detriment of all wholesome publications of a cheap description, and to the incalculable injury of the community at large—and he will still maintain with an inflexible demeanour that the proceeds of the paper tax are necessary items in the catalogue of the revenue. Lay before him the injustice of the adver tisement duty, bring to his remembrance the severity with which it falls upon the poor servant-of-all-work seeking for a situation, imposing upon her demand for honest labour the same amount Es is laid upon the capitalist announcing his wish to part with an estate of a thousand acres—and he will still remain blind to the force of every argument, and refuse to accede even to the minutest concession. He listens with unalterable affability— be can smile at a facetious observation, and sometimes, when in a more than usually good humour, crack a dry little joke him self; but the end of it all is, he bows you politely out of the reception-room, just about as wise as when you entered it, and with quite as vivid an idea of the time for the carrying into effect of all your long-cherished aspirations. strengthen him. But if because he has triumphed over the influence, the hopes, and the pretensions of th e majority, M. L ou i s Napoleon Bonaparte thinks to triumph over the rights, the dignity, and the sovereignty of the country, then in face of the Empire will rise up the people and Republic! Yes, behind that Parliamen tary rampart which has just crumbled away, there is an invincible and impregnable line of defence against which all amhidons and all usurpations will break; end that is the nation! In a word, M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte may impose all things on the fallen majority. Let him impose on it the Republic, universal suffrage, liberty, the destruction of misery, and the reconciliation of classes; let him impose on it all that it has sacrificed, all that it has rejected, all that it has disdained, all that makes Governments beloved, and revolutions detested I" The report of the Committee of Labour was pre sented to the Assembly on Thursday, and the debate on it was commenced by M. NADAUD, the fallacy of whose Socialist theories were exposed by M. PEUPIN, himself a labouring man. M. MADIER DE Morrraa.o denounced the Assembly for doing nothing for the working classes, and was replied to by General LA.- MORCIERE ; after which the debate was adjourned. Ithrshal JEROME BONAPARTE, the last surviving brother of the EMPEROR, has left Paris for his seat near Chartres, on account of the state of his health. The Minister of Agriculture and Coinmerce has given notice to the central jury that they will have to proceed immediately to the examination and choice of the productions of French industry destined for the Exhibition of London. M. CHARLES DUFIN is the president of the jury, which is to hold its first meeting on the Ist of February. The following are the principal items of the Bank account of the week : Specie in Paris Ditto in branches Bills in Paris portfolio Bills in branches .. Bills lyicg unpaid (none).

Bills have increased nearly seven mil lions, which shows that a great increase of accommo dation must have been afforded to trading people in the city. The country portfolio shows a slight de cline. The note circulation has increased in the city three and a half millions, but remains stationary in the country. The credit to Treasury has not di minished.

The Kelner Zeitung states, in its letters from Berlin, that the removal of the Danish " Casino Cabinet" must be considered as an essential condition to the arrangement of the Holstein question, accord ing to the spirit of the Federal Resolution of 1846, and it adds that the question of the existence of this Cabinet is now being decided at Copenhagen. The majority in the Lower House of the Diet is indeed for the Casino party, which insists on the incorpora tion of Schleswig into Denmark, and on its separation from Holstein. The Borsenhalle states from Rendsburg that the exchange or the Danish and Holstein prisoners was to take place at Kropp on the 30th and 3lst ult. It is asserted that Major-General WissEL, late Chief of the Artillery, will act as Secretary-at• War to the new Provisional Government. The Austrian troops will leave a garrison at Ham burgh and Altona; the bulk of their forces will pro ceed to occupy the fortress of Rendsburg. A collision between the Danish steamer Geyser and sundry Prussian vessels has taken place in the harbour of Kiel. An inquiry has been instituted by the Prussian Government. CABINET COUNCIL.—(THI S DAY.)—The Ministers' summonses having been issued last evening from the Council-office, they again assembled this afternoon at two o'clock at the Foreign-office. There were pre sent the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the Earl of Minto, Lord John Russell, Viscount Palmerston, the Chancellor of the Exche• quer, Earl Grey, Sir George Grey, Sir Francis Baring, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, Sir John Hohhouse, and the Right Hon. Fox Maule. The Ministers were sitting when we went to press. LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY.—III reference to a letter, purporting to be written by Mr. Knox, secretary of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, to Mr. Stewart, secretary of the London and North-Western Company, and dated 30th ult., which has appeared in some of the morning papers, we are authorised to state that nosuch letter had been received by Mr. Stewart at the time of our going to press. THE BRIGHTON MARRIAGE MARBETS.—Business in these markets, which opened so briskly at the beginning of the season, almost as suddenly grew dull, and has re mained so in spite of every effort to revive it, up to the pre sent time. It is hoped that the holding of them in future in the royal grounds, in lieu of the old locality of Ship• street, may give an impetus to trade, especially as a much more equal rate of admission per head is to be charged, instead of the old and very unpopular tariff, or sliding scale, of from 23. 8i 1-13 d. to Bs. and 10s. 6d.; the latter being charged only on foreign stock, which gave local produce an advan tage of several shillings per head over the imported. The stock of all sorts has been but middling, and can hardly be said to have equalled that of former years; the bulk having been on hand many seasons, and deteriorating with age. The males have for the most part been short of stature, more under five feet four than above that mark; and the principal features of the females have been bony noses, which have much predominated; these, however, would not have en tirely prevented purchasers coming to the point, had they been accompanied by fever short purses; though I should nevertheless say that, taking a résumé of the Brighton marriage -markets for 1850-51, the two greatest drawbacks to operating in them have been the long noses and short purses.

RE -OPENING OF OXFORD-STREET.—The portion of this important thoroughfare situated between the Hanover. gates and the Regent-circus, which was closed for repairs, has been re-opened for public traffic, the authorities having found it advisable, on the repairs of half the roadway being completed, to open the line of road, in order to prevent the inconvenience experienced by the immense traffic of this part of the town.

The Upper Chamber of Prussia was engaged on the 29th ult. in discussing the law regulating the state of siege. Accounts from Vienna state that an Austrian army will enter Switzerland in the Spring. This an nouncement accounts for the rumours of sham plots concocted in witaerland by 'Mazztrii, and supported by the money of the English clergy, with which the public has been so plied of late by those who are the agents of the Austrian Chancery. They con cocted and spread these rumours in order to afford an excuse fur the perpetration of the violation of the law of nations, which Austria contemplated. 10 to 104 % I ,‘ dis 10% % 1 di..

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 3,000 bales. The market continued dull, and closed heavily.—Railway Shares were very active, and at higher prices. The decrease of the business of the Bank of England is still observable in the smaller amount of securities, and the curtailment of the circulation. The public de posits were dicnieished but slightly, and do not appear to be going much lower this quarter. The private lodg ments were larger, the amount of money in private channels being larger. The result of the weekly return to the 25th ult., compared with the previous statement, is as follows: Notes Issued Decrease Rest ... 27,791.180 ... 126,990 ... 3,226,840 Increase ... 1,626 Public Deposits ... 5,756 995 Decrease ... ▪ 90,024 Other Deposits ~. 10,721,309 Increase ... ••• 203,526 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,164,872 Decrease ... ▪ 41,553 Government Securities ... ... 14,145,156 Decreases 5,100 Other Securities ... ..• ▪ 12,339,494 Decrease ... ... 280,274 Notes ••• ••• ••• 8,298,980 Increase ... ... 327,840 Bullion ... 14,430,566 Decrease • 95,881 Active Circulation . 19,492 200 Decrease ... ▪ 454,830 No important alteration occurred in the rates of the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, but ninety days' paper on Hamburgh improved to 13 6* and on Am sterdam to 11 18 to 181. Antwerp was firm at 25 20, and Paris at the same rate. Frankfort was , 117 1 . to 118 and Vienna 12 50 to 55. Toe Savannah Republican says one-half of the Loui siana banks are doted or worthless. Ot the three banks in Illinois, one is closed. Mississippi has but one bank called good. The banks of Florida are all bad, and those of Arkansas aro no better. Of twenty-nine banks in Georgia, thirteen are proved worthless, three more with bills too bad to b e so ld, and one doubtful. The course of the exchanges possesses so much in terest to the mercantile world at large, that we may usefully quote from the forthcoming number of the Banker's Magazine part of a condensed table, to illus trate the alteration during the present month and pre viously:— Paris on London. 3 Alonths' Date.

Usk, Valparaiso and Bahia; Sophia, Jamaica; Chaos, Os' The view taken by the compiler of this table, and not an unreasonable one, is that the report of the French Demonetization Commission will hare considerable in fluence on the Continent in allaying apprehensions, and that possibly, with the returning tranquillity of Ger many, silver will not maintain in London the price which at present it bears. The exports of the precious metals from London during the week to Thursday last were 29.000 ounces of gold to Belgium and Dunkirk, and 54,000 ounces of silver. The accounts from tho manufacturing districts, as furnished by Messrs. M'Nair, GI eenhow, and Irving, of Manchester, state:— " The influence necessarily attaching to the advanced rate of discount by the Bank of England, as intimated in our last Circular, with, according to our opinion, a needless apprehension that a further rise would ere this have taken pl ace; t h e i mmense operations which were entered into in December, and the very general belief that the supply of Cotton would not only be materially greater than the estimates at and before the close of the last year indicated, and as a necessary con sequence, that the value of that article must not only de cline, but that lower rates for the manufactured one would be sure to accompany it, have, Fombinedly, pro duced a feeling of external and real inactivity in this market during the present month. " Notwithstanding these several Causes and their at tEndant consequences, the transaction s of the month, though unaccompanied with anim a t ion , h ave been large, and where mainly, if not wholly, the proceeds of pre viously existing contracts, as purchases and none of them of any magnitude, have been cautiously limited to exist ing wants, under a very general impres s i on t h at many descriptions of both cloth and twist would, f rom t h e real and prospective position of cotton, of necessity experi ence a decline." • • ! 4 Midland Gt.

We are glad to find that the Freehold Land move ment is making great progress throughout the country. It is the true method by which, and by which alone, the working man can work out his political emancipation. It is to Englishmen, what from its name the Societi aide toi Dieu t'aidera ought to have been to Frenchmen. The support which this movement receives from the veteran and eminently practical Reformer, Colonel TLIOMPSON, is a sufficient guarantee to every one who may have before doubted of its feasibility ; a report of his admirable speech at the Bradford meeting, on this subject, will be found in another column, and we strenuously recommend it to the attentive perusal of every Free-trader and Re former. 'CUTE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. CLIAMBOLLE thus replies, in the columns of the Ordre, to the attack of M. DE LAMARTINE on the Committee of Permanence : " M. de Lamartine, making himself, after three months of scandals and calumnies, the plagiarist of the Decem brists, does not fear to denounce thirty or forty of his colleagues as having been concerned in manoeuvres more or less secret, more or less culpable, which had perhaps the character, and, at all events, ought to have the effect of conspiracies. If we had not belonged to that Perma nent Committee, which is the principal object of his de nunciations, we might be indignant; but it is allowed to us who went neither to Wiesbaden nor to Claremont to smile and treat as it deserves this piece of calculated buffoonery, this ridiculous fable, the recitals of ehich, disseminated in advance, were to cover more eorious faults and long-premeditated designs. When a man of M. de Lemartine's fame twice in a fortnight makes himself the echo of such silly assertions, it is natural to ask the question—How has he fallen into such an excess of blindness and passion? How? That would be a sad history to narrate, for, in looking closely we should find all the springs which, already under the monarchy, after having isolated M. de Lamartine, precipitated him into a wild and senseless opposition. What he reproaches M. Tillers, M. Berryer, and M. Dufauro with every one knows or divines. For General Changarnier it is a difficult matter; he had a mass celebrated at the Tuileries after Louis Philippe's death. It is a great crime assuredly; but is it not a greater one to have displayed on April 16, 1848, with out any official title, sufficient activity, presence of mind, and energy, to have in a great measure the honour of the day's result. Another general (imprudent as he was) went out to walk whilst Ivl. de Lamartine was speaking! Oh! for him no mercy; he certainly conspired! But who is it? Is it by chance General Cavaignac, that Republican of tiers-19(11.u, coterie, Divine right, who was shameful enough in the ter rible days of June to save Paris and France, whilst that glory belonged by right to the Executive Com mittee? Yes, certainly, all these party chiefs, since M. do Lamartine has such 'grievances against them, must be, whether aware of it or not, conspirators! And why should ho show them any consideration? Is he not also as authorised to reproach them with having recently compromised the public peace, as he might be to accuse the chiefs of the old opposition of having agitated the couetry by banquets?—he, the author of that • Histoire des Girondins,' in which St. Just and Robespierre were so opportunely justified and glorified;—he, the chief speaker at the banquet of Alic..on ;—he, the ardent ad mirer of the socialist harangues pronounced at Lisle and elsewhere by M. Ledru-Rollin;—he who, on the eve of the catastrophes generally foreseen, and which others endeavoured with all their efforts to turn aside, made every exertion, with M. d'Alton Sh4r,., to bring about that famous revolutionary banquet of the 12th arrondis sement, whence was to issue the opportunity for the plotters, the crisis for the king, a n d a l ong tra i n of eu ferings for the people!" The Moniteur du Soir has the following : " The dotation of the President of the Republic was the subject of general conversation to-day in the Salle des Conferences at the Assembly. Several members, who pretended to be well-informed on the subject, said that the Bill would only be presented by a definitive Mi nistry, to be chosen from the old majority. In the prin cipal groups which were formed, the question of the do tation did not appear to excite so much opposition as M. Thiers appears to have anticipated in the tribune, except on the part of some .Montagnards and ultra- Legitimatists." It was rumoured that MM. ODILON BARBOT and LEON FAUCHER have been commissioned to form a Ministry out of the old majority, and that this Mi nistry will propose the Dotation Bill. On this ru mour the Fresse makes the following sensible remarks : " It is evident that the majority, after having ad mitted its weakness, and submitted to its fall, will seek to resume by stratagem that which it is inca pable of acquiring by force. It will play a moGst part for a few days. It will applaud M. de Roger; it will caress M. Vaisse. It will put forth in its. ,journals that its divisions are at an end, and that it has reconstituted itself as before.

Will he consent to alienate his right and his dignity for a hope o f d otation. Will ho choose his Ministry in the ranks of the fallen majority? Will he restore to the Burgraves th e i nfluence which they re gret? Then we pity lam, for i n d e l ivering himself up to the fallen majority, he exposes himself much more than if he were to abandon himself to the ho s til e majo rity; he yields to humiliated enemies who have not only an ambition to satisfy, but have also a h umiliation to avenge. Such is the peril which the President o f t h e Republic incurs by abandoning situation.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DA V I " gittines in Ban co , a f ter T erm, before Lord CANPB") and J ustices PATTESON, COLERIDGE and WIGUTIbiti THE LATE QUEEN DOWAGER'S ANNUI T vi. ss THE QUEEN V . THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF TREASURY.—JUDGMENT. r art Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the C o n in this case this morning. He said that the claim in ' te d ease being made for the arrears of an annuity granola under an Ac,-, of Parliament, and chargeable upon the Consolidated Fund, the Court were of opinion that the application for a mandamus was regular. The rig u : s o f it existed, was a legal right accruing under the terms the 4th and sth William IV., c. 15, which enacted the payment of such an annuity could only be obtafik by a warrant of the Lords of the Treasury, and the t i ro of granting the warrant was imposed on them, 11 '7 0 payment was due. It was contended, however, that de or; the annuity was payable quarterly and accruing in diem, and therefore, being apportionable, the C° ought in the exerc i se o f i ts discretion to withho ld the o mandamus by reason of the full quarter's porn he of the annuity made to her late Majesty T be Queen Dowager on the 30th June, 1837. no Court was o f op i n i on that that payment could 13 ,, be taken i n t o cons id erat i on, for it was made in discharbf of a debt then due and payable, and after a disput e whether in point of law it could be rightfully claini e be The late Queen D owager was justified in applying t o money in works of charity, or in any other manner might deem fit, and it cou ld not afterwards be recovere d back from her nor set o ff aga i nst the balance o f the t quarterly payment o f th e annuity even after the pagleild had been made. Th e Attorney-General had truly s' that a suitor must d o j ustice before he could seek '`) r .. F justice; but th e C ourt was of opinion that it would 17 injustice t o requ i re that the. MB of money so paid end spent should atterwards be demanded back and accoutto for. It was upon that principle that the case of Skirl v. Green had been decided. Therefore the fats of the present rule depended upon the question whether or n ot the annuity were apportionable. If it were apportionsw i the mandamus must issue; but after an attentive COt"' duration of the authorities cited during the 111 1, - ; tnent the Court was of opinion that the aunt; was not apportionable. The Learned Judge t'r b at considerable length reviewed the arguments ribt o had been employed during the argument, and 1 - ,c, authorities cited in their support, and then proceeded to say that reliance had, on one aide, been placed on exalted rank of her late Majesty. The Court was " loss to know how that could advance a construction 13 1 , • the language o f an A ct o f P arliament. They might e t well have been told of her exemplary virtues and he., saint-like death, w hi c h wou ld ever make her me mory cherished w ith a ff tet i on b y the English nation. The' virtues the Court was most willing and desirous to tic" knowledge; but their Lordships sat there me rely e s Judges to interpr e t th e l anguage of an Act of Pelt.; ment; and accordin g t o t h e j ust interpretation of t ha t Act they were a ll c l ear l y o f opinion, that in the eve n t which had happened no arrears of the annuity could he claimed subsequent to the 30th September, 1849. both parties had declared that they should be contente d with the opinion of the Court, without appealing to higher tribunal, th e C ourt h a d now only to say that tu" rule for a mandamus must be discharged. Rule discharged accordingly. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) This was the first day of the sittings at Nisi Fritts, • Westminster, after Hilary Term.
