At a nu merous M EETING of the gs M ton, EAIBERS of the 183 11 4 :3,- M AN CATHOLIC CHURCH , h e ld at t h e Holy Trinity Chapel, on Tuesday evening, N0v. 1 26, 1839, His Honour the ATTORNEY GENERAL in the Chair. His Honour the Attorney • General having in a most brilliant Speech stated the object for which the meeting was called, J. W. Seymour, Esq., moved, seconded by Mr. John Doug las, that a Committee be appointed to prepare and bring in re solutions to be submitted to the meeting, which was unani mously carried. The Chairman appointed R. Roux, John Harvey, L. Des genttes, F. E gan , J . W. Seymour, Richard Daly, John Bran day, John E scoffery, J. B. Sorapure, Charles Duquesnay, J. a Duverger, Clarke, F. L a bi c h e, an d J ames C a hill , E mirs., Cemrnittee for the above purpose, who withdrew, and on their return submitted the following resolutions, which were unanimously agreed to. Ist That the meeting held in High Holborn-street on Tuesday the 19th November instant, purporting to be an as sembly of the British and Native Roman Catholics of this City, called together with the consent of the Very Rev. Mr. Fernan dez, bears on its front the stamp of twofold misrepresentation ; as in the first place the Very Rev. Mr. Fernandez was never applied to on the subject ; and secondly, it was not attended by more than four or five British Roman Catholics, so that its re solutions cannot for a moment be deemed expressive of the feelings of that body, as Mr. Shannon would wish to have it supposed. 2d. That whilst this meeting deplores the necessity of it s being ca l led together to defend our Rev. Vicar Apostolic from the unmerited imputrions whih have been cast uon him, it must and doth hereby declare, c that it is the duty of all true Roman Catholics to bow to the lawful authority of the Church in all its spiritual matters, and that those who do not do so are unworthy of belonging to our sacred religion. Bd. That this Meeting is fully cogn:zant that the imputations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, as published in Saturday's Gazette, against the Very Rev. B. Fernandez, are utterly false and groundless. 4th. That a deputation be appointed to wait on our Vicar Apostolic with an address, and also to acquaint him, so far from the respect, venerat i on, and esteem, in which he has always been held by his flock being lessoned by the late foul attack on him, that this meeting regards him, if possible, with stronger feelings of affection than before, and that never on any previous occasion did he possess more fully their unlimited confidenco in his zeal for the promotion of pace, charity, and religion, amongst all classes of his congregation. sth. That even were the charges against the very Rev. Be nito Fernandez true, which they are not, the insinuations put forth in Mr. Shannon's speech, " that the Committee of St. Patrick and St. Martin's Church were playing the game of the above Ve r y R ev. Gentleman " is utterly contrary to truth, as they have used, and will continue is use, every exertion to pro cure the presence of Pastors of the United Kingdorn, always, ho wever, refusing t o accep t o f, or o b ey any, save those who are duly recognised by our Right Rev. Vicar Apostolic Benito Fer nandez. 6th. That the entering the names of three official characters, lamely, the then Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and Attor ney-General, for higher subscriptions than they.had signed for, was the act of the Rev. Mr. Murphy and the late universally respected Major Dillon, 64th Regiment ; that the then Go vernor and the Attorney-General on seeing the list of sub scriptions (printed by Mr.. Shannon) remonstrated and re quested the Committee to insert against their names the exact sums they subscribed, which was not done by the Rev. Mr. Murphy and Major Dillon, the acting members of tile Com mittee, they not thinking it a matter of sufficient importance to make a contradiction of the subscription list necessary—especi ally as it is usual in England to put down persons of rank for larger sums than they actually subscribe. . ith. That the conduct of Wellwood Hyslop, Esq., is of such a character, that the Roman Catholics of this city cannot con ceal from themselves how improper it is t• admit him to act in the affairs of their body, and that he be requested to abstain from all interference with their future proceedings. Bth. That this meeting pronounces the third Resolution of Thomas Shannon to be destitute of " Truth," for these rea sons—First, because the Holy Trinity Chapel in this City was erected in 1809, and opened for Divine Service in 1810 by the Rev. J. Rodrigues, a Fortuvuese Clergyrean, w h o was one of the pri nc i pa l f oun d ers , and Don Carlos Estero, a rich Spanish merchant of this city, who exercised his influence with his countrymen and with other merchants of this city of all reli gions, and induced them to contribute with that liberality which to this day is one of the most laudable traits in the cha racter of the Kingston gentry. Secondly, because it is not true that the Catholic congregation has suffered for the want of religious instruction ; c.n the contrary, the zeal of the Very Rev. Vicar and of the Rev. Messieurs Duquesnay (a native of this city) Dnpeyron (a Frenchman), and Cotham (an English man) in imparting religious i ns t ruc ti on , i s we ll k nown to the Catholic community. Resolved—That the above Resolutions and Address to be presented to the Very Rev. Vicar Apostolic, be published in the " Morning Journal," " Royal Gazette," " St. Jago Ga zette," " Gleaner," and such of the English Newspapers as his Honour the Chairman may direct. (Signed) D. O'REILLY, Chairman. His Honour, the Attorney-General having last the Chair, R. Roux, Esq. was called thereto, when it was unanimously resolved, that a vote of thanks be given to his Honour, the At torney- General, for his exemplary, dignified, and impartial conduct in the Chair. ( Signed) R. ROUX, The deputation having waited on the Very Rev. Vicar Apos tolic, on Wednesday the 27th instant, presented the following Address:— To the Very Reverend Benito Fernandez, Vicar Apostolic, &c., &c. Very Reverend Father—Deputed by a numerous and respec table meeting of true Roman Catholics, many of whom have, for a long series of years, been under your immediate spirit ual direction—we come to express the deep sorrow your congrega tion have felt, and still feel, at the most extraordinary speech delivered by Mr. Thomas Shannon, at the St. Patrick's Chapel, on the 19th day of this instant month. We shall not comment long on the false, garbled, and slan derous statements contained i n th e speech alluded to, as part of them can be denied by incontrovertible facts, and the rest has excited the indignation, not only of your congregation, but also of all honest men of different persuasions. Indeed, the author and publisher of such libellous statements has attempted to apply an antidote to the wound he has inflicted on you, in pay ing a well-merited tribute of respect to your private virtues and character as a Christian Minister, and for your pious and ex emplary conduct as the pastor of a Spanish congregation, as if your congregation was solely composed of Spaniards, whereas he knows that the contrary is the case. This shows the animus of the man. 6th. We have thought proper to slake these few prefatory remarks, and we now beg. Very Rev. Father, to assure you that as long as you shall continue in your character of Vicar Apostolic, all true Roman Catholics shall consider and obey you, as the only spiritual head of the Roman Catholic Chapels which.now are, or may hereafter be, erected and built within the limits of your diocese. Allow us, Very Rev. Father, to conclude with the most sincere and fervent wishes of us, and of your congregation ge nerally, th a t th e Al m i g ht y may b e pleased to grant you happy days, and to preserve your life as precious to your friends and c ongregation. We are, with great respect, Very Rev. Father, your most humble devoted Sons in J. C. (Signed) R. Roux, Francis Egan, John Harvey, J. W. Seymour, Richard Daly, John Escoffery, J. B. Sorapure, Chas. Duquesnay, J. B. Duverger, F. Labiche, Wm. Roux, C. R. Nelson, M. Mettos, Peter Constantine, P. L. Duquesnay, John White, Emanuel Leon, John Auvry, Alexander Clermont, and J. Douglas. The Very Reverend Vicar Apostolic, on receiving the fore going Address, was pleased to return the following answer : You, my dear friends, must be well aware of the pleasure with which your kind Address literally overpowers me. " As a man, I feel grateful to you for your expressions of at tachment, but, as a minister of Christ and Vicar Apostolic, I am incomparably more delighted with your respect for our holy religion, which has been insulted in my person. Though un worthy of the situation to which the holy See has thought prope r to raise me, yet I cannot discover in the motives by which I have been hitherto actuated anything but sincere de sires of advancing mutual peace amongst the - Catholics, the salvation of souls, and the glory of God. "Rest assured, that so long as I shall hold the onerous office of Vicar Apostolic, I shall continue to promote, to the best of my power, the happiness and welfare of those committed to my charge. To this, my time and life are devoted; in Inis con sists my own happiness. " Gentlemen, I again thank you for your address." N 11.—The signatures of 1,400 Roman Catholics were ob tained during the day, and attached to the address.

Hebrew, Part, 7th, 11g34, New Translation.--" If I were shapen in iniquity, or in sin, my mother had conceived me." Note._Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. This eerse, as it stands in the common version, is not consistent with the Scripture. The Divine com munication stands recorded in Gen. i. 28. and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. Now it must strike every reader with conviction, that as God created man to multiply and replenish the earth, he did not ordain man to be shapen in iniquity, nor to be conceived in sin. The Divine order for the multiplication of the human race is as holy now as at the beginning : it is pronounced to be superlatively good, Gen. i. 31., and this Divine order is sanctioned through.. out the Scripture, in all its purity, as at the beginning; con firmed by the Messiah, who said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven, Matt. xviii. 14. ; it therefore follows, that if man were shapen in iniquity, and conceived in sin, the Divine insti tution of marriage could not have been approved of by him.

SUGAR.—Business in the various descriptions has not been by any means brisk, and no public sales took place. The transactions in British plantation have not exceeded 4001bs at the late improvement. Rica.—ln the Rice market very little has been done; of upwards of 6,000 bags Java only about 1,600 sold, at from 10s to 11 s. COFFEE.—Market generally flat.

TALLow.—The market is exceedingly firm. 50s. is asked upon the spot, but few buyers. The news from St. Petersbnrg supports the market. Town is at 53s 6d, with a stock trade. A report prevailed a few days back, in Paris, that M. Jules Janier, the celebrated writer of thefenillelons in the Journal des Debats, had been killed in a duel. In Mon day's fenilleton M.

ROBBERY OF STATE PAPERS IN DUBLIN CASTLE.—The world has just lost a chance of having placed before it a collection of some of the curious and valuable state documents which the old archives of Dublin Castle could pro duce. It has been discovered that some six months ago a per son, not forthcoming at present, having been employed in the arrangement of old papers in one of the offices of the Castle, happened to place a portion of them (not the least valuable) in a small bag, which bag about the same time happened to be left at the residence of a hi g hl y . respecta bl e member of the Vintners' Society, wh o h as s i nce cease d to carry on re tail business. The person who left the bag, it should be mentioned, owed a matter of about 101. A few days after this period curiosity prompted the then holder of the bag to examine its contents, which was done in the presence of a li mited circle of friends ; and among other papers it was found to contain several letters of Lord Castlereagh's and Pitt's, writ ten at the time of the Union, and containing some most inte resting matter connected with that period of Irish history. There were also some letters of Robert Emmett's, and in par ticular that written by him to Curran's daughter the night before his exe cu ti on y The bag was closed after this exa mination, and the whole circumstance forgotten in the space of a few weeks. It appears, however, that the disappearance of the papers was noticed in another quar ter, and even became a matter for police inquiry, which was ineffectual until about four days since, when a friend of the gentleman in whose possession the Papers were, told Major Brown, the Commissioner of the Me tropolitan Police, that he believed he could give him some clue to the recovery, and in a few hours after arrived in a car with friend Mr. --, who told Major Brown, without he sitation, that he had the papers, and would willingly give them up if paid the 101. as a security for which they were placed in his possession. In fine, Mr. -- brought the bag to the Commissioner's office next day and delivered it up ; but en de manding the 101., I may add, that the answer he received was far from satisfactory; in fact, lie found himself in the presence of Judge Ball, the Attorney-General, and both Com missioners, and was obliged to give security to the amount of 500/. to appear when called upon. Thus rests the matter at present.

WHAT IS GOLD AND WHAT IS PAPER? ( From a Pamphlet on the Currency by Mr. Donald Black.) What is gold and what is paper ? Both are used as the currency of the country.—Which is considered the best? Gold, and from this superiority it has been used for a series of years.—Why is not geld used alone as the currency of the country ? Gold is found to be too scarce for that purpose, therefore paper is used in connection with gold.—How are gold and paper connected? By both performing the offices of a cir culating medium. —Ho w are they based so as to form this circulating medium ? Gold is based as represent ing property, and paper as representing gold.—Why does not paper represent property and not gold? It were better to found it on the reality of value and not on an agent of value. This is what never can be ac counted for, except that in the ruder ages, before pro perty had been called by the accumulated labour of man into existence, it was necessary to base the first attempts of a paper representative on the recognized currency of the world, and that that which sprung from the epoch of the barren morass and wooden hut has continued, from the fearfulness of acquirement, in the reign of the rich field and marble palace. There can be no solid reason given why paper should represent gold, the agent of property, and not property itself, when property is made real.—How do paper and gold work together as a circulating medium ? By the most strange distortions—gold being the circulating medium of the world, and paper of a particular country, all the most contrary circumstances possible arise from their union. When gold is revelling in any particular coun try, with his glittering and triumphant car, there is paper, like a paintql shadow, dancing in the car nival ; but soon as gold, the fatal bridegroom, is gone, the spouse paper is withered into air.—ls not this a singular union for reasonable men to continue ? It is most unaccountable ; it is endeavouring to chain to a particular country a wild animal that cannot be chained ; and yet, tying to that wild animal the gentlest life of that particular country. The crashing of its departure can only be likened to the work of a destroying angel ; and yet that foolish fond country will woo it back again, and again bind up her existence to its uncertain sojourn. But why is all this suffered ? No one can tell : infatuation, prejudice, or something of that kind ; perhaps the supposition that gold is wealth. Is not gold wealth ? No more than a stone is : it is merely the representative of wealth ; for, let a nation have amassed the most immense quantities of gold, she can only carry it to foreign countries and buy with it the wealth, or, in other words, the comforts and luxuries of the earth, and this nation will get poor ; (look at Spain) ; but let a nation possess manufac tories, which, like the circling of the seasons, bring forth fresh productions, this nation can never be poor. Why then make gold the vital of a nation ? Again, that can not be answered : all that can be said is, that it is a barbaric ornament, which, when attempted to be intro duced amongst the delicate and winding threads of man's refined labour and ingenuity, crushes by its unpliability that which it was designed to assist. What then is paper as a currency ? Worse than gold, if worse can be—mere cobwebs, indeed not so aged or so respect able. A thing wrote upon to carry round the nation ; a falsehood. And were it not for the high character of bankers, we should think them a set of the most arrant knaves that the world could possibly harbour. They issue paper and promise to pay gold, when, even at the first issuing of this paper, they have not a third of gold to fulfil their promise ; then, when their paper is out, they traffic with even this small portion of gold till they are drained of it altogether; then they become alarmed —the nation thinks ; this thinking tells the people that they hold pieces of falsehood, (for, indeed, it can bear no softer name,) they too become alarmed ; they run upon the bankers, the bankers pull in the evidences of their false representation—this ma kes the people run faster—the bankers still pull in till the whole nation, that was busy with the work of com • merce, stands struck and motionless ; the crowd is beggared. The speck of falsehood that commenced with a banker issuing his notes, has infused itself, like a taint of leprosy, through the whole mass, and all is paralyzed with the contaminating infection ; and, to make the thing still more lamentable, the Government can find no better plan for a currency than this, that, like a periodical plague, scourges the nation. Turn it, and twist it, and sift it, yet must it bear the name of gold : though that bright ornament may be adorning the brow of the swarthy Indian, yet must our pale paper bear at least its name ;—it must be gilded with the name. This is the established system of the nation in calm bright weather ; but when the storm comes, these very issues of paper throw the name of gold overboard, and appeal to the nation that they have national securities to back their paper. This is the infatuation : they give as solid these gilded things to the nation, when they know well they are only made of gilt air, and trust in the tempest to national seen rities.—Then paper must be abandoned as well as gold? Not at all, if paper were honest. If paper would say what it really is, no alarm regarding it could be raised at any future period. Let a thing be shown what it is when it is first given, and if agreed to be taken, no after-thought can disturb it.—How would you make paper speak what it really is ? By not writing a false hood on it.—How make it solid? By basing it on a proper ground.—What ground would you base it on On value, not on an agent of value. Then you would disuse gold altogether as a currency ? Certainly; gold would be to the nation only the same as any other commodity.—But we might lose all the gold of the world by this? That is impossible ; empty us your gold to-morrow, we should have some next day. It is not that we cannot command gold,—it is that we make it our life-blood that it disturbs us.—lf we kept it in our side-pocket ready for the use of the foreign world all well, but to make it part of our heart is madness.— How then would you propose to establish paper as a currency ? By founding it upon the property of the country, not on straws and falsehoods ; that which bankers, in their necessities, are compelled to acknow ledge is the only sure guarantee for all their operations when gold is gone—that which all men work for— properly—and this paper would be convertible into this property, not into the promised chariot of the sun, gold. Let people but be plain in their dealing, and the thing is done ; let people speak what is, and act, on it. —But the nation would be inundated with this paper ? Why so ? What, because it is paper ? Why inun dated? Fools and knaves would inundate the nation with paper, but not honest and wise men. Paper can be dealt out as niggard and as scant as ever gold was ; and there can be a bridle in its mouth, and a saddle on its back, to direct its course and guide its movements ; its value can be made as solid as ever value can be made ; it can be made a house and home circulating medium, impervious alike to the machinations of our countryman-knave and foreign enemy ; and we shall re cord an effect worth noting, that will rasult from its adoption in head second of the argument. ALDERMAN THOMPSOI'iI AND THE REPRESENTATION OF SUNDERLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Alderman Thompson has been repeatedly before the electors of this borough, and has, from time to time, to secure his election, promised almost anything that any body chose to ask of him. He has made promises verbal and promises written. He has given pledges in public, and pledges in private. He has stood up to be examined before a public meeting of the inhabitants, has submitted to be publicly catechised, and has given catego rical answers to the questions that have been put to him. To enumerate a few of the many pledges that he gave: he solemnly, distinctly, and unequivocally pledged himself to vote for an extension of the suffrage, triennial Parlia ments, vote by ballot, and the repeal of the Corn-laws. On every one of these points his conduct in Parliament has given the lie to his professions. He has voted against an extension of the suffrage, against triennial Parliaments, agaiust the ballot, and against the repeal of the Corn-laws. His conduct on the Corn question has severed the last link that bound some of his supporters to him. His two votes on the Corn-laws in the last Session of Parliament will tell fearfully against him, if he venture to offer hira self once more as a candidate for the suffrages o f the elec tors - of this borough. He has taken his staml amongst h mo st determined supporters of the t ax on foodtHe has voted against inquiry; he has voted aga i nst hearing evi dence.

WELLINGTON TESTIMONIAL.—A publicmeet ing was held here this day (Friday), at which resolutions were adopted and a committee appointed to collect funds in aid of the subscription in Edinburgh for erecting a national testimonial to the Duke of Wellington in that city. We are unahle from the late hour at which the meeting was held, to report the pro ceedings.—lnverness Journal. Whatever it may do for the revenue, it is Ajimfated: all hands that the penny postage plan works tltiirtt for the public. To this statement we must add the quit fication that, were the stamped covers once isete4, z ther, mode of operation wou ld b e much simplified, both' fo , Post-office and the people ; and it is generally believed • that, great as the increase has been, it would then be much greater. Prepayment would be secured without personal attendance at the bar of the office, and many letters of courtesy and friendship posted which are now left unwrit ten from the trouble of going personally to pay the penny, or the ri s k o f l eav i ng the prepayment in the hands of ser vants or porters. Not only in the Glasgow Post-office, but elsewhere, have the details been managed with the utmost regularity, notwithstanding the immense increase, amount ing, we believe, to fourfold—although we do not state this latter on official authority. At the outset, the clerks were compelled to work double tides, but now the system is so well understood, and so well practised, that no thing but more commodious premises —which will be ready at Whitsunday ensuing —are wanted to make the internal routine at once comfortable and easy. As was anticipated, a great part of the increase belongs to commercial corre spondence, but we are gratified to learn that the peony reduction has brought a large portion of the community into the class of letter-writers, whose correspondence was previously little known by the Post-office—such as the humbler classes of Highlanders and Irish—many thou sands of whom are located in Glasgow —and who of late have come into the custom of transmitting by post letters and small sums of money to their friends at home to a very considerable extent, instead of sending them, as be fore, by some crooked and uncertain channel. The accom modation of the Post-office, however, is not solely confined ' to letters, for various articles are now transmitted which would have been completely tabooed in the olden time. Samples of spirits or wines, in small bottles, have been sent to a distance, although the officials are not willing to receive such brittle ware, unless inclosed in tin cases. A few days ago, a merchant here received a pair of shoes from England, the cost of which was ls. 6d. ; and on Saturday last we were waited on by a young gentleman, who had just received, by peat, from Dr. 111‘Allister, of Stratbaird, in the Isle of Skye, a beautiful owl, which had been found dead by one of the herds, and the cost of which was only Is. 6d. The par , r' was regularly sealed and stamped, with the Highland sari Glasgow post marks, and yet not a feather of the bird was injured or displaced. It was remarkable in other respects than in the mode of its transmission, for its plumage was variegated, brilliant, and beautiful in the extreme, and more resembled one of the Australian parrot-tribe than the moping owl of our own clime. It is rarely that any great good can be granted without pinching some isolated class, aiid we understand that some hundreds of persons, even in this neighbourhood, who were in the habit of earning an honest penny by carrying and delivering letters and little parcels—such as carriers, their porters, &c., have felt the I change severely.— Glasgow Herald. A SUGGESTION FOR THE EDU- CATION COMMISSION. The subject of national education having recently occu pied a considerable share of public attention, and being likely to occupy still more, it is desirable to allude to s. ♦erg• essential point in the promotion of this important ob ject, which has hitherto been strangely overlooked—namey, an authorized test of qualification for the professors of the various branches of tuition. We hold it to be indisputable that so long as the clergy of the Established Church re tain the monopoly in their own hands, it will be impossible to make any approach to a perfect system of general edu cation. While candidates for the professions of the law, medi cine, ice., cannot practise without undergoing certain ordeals, of greater or lesser responsibility, it is somewhat extraor dinary that the not less important pursuit of a professor of education should require no other ordeal than that of admission to holy orders ; when even the Bishop of Exeter, in his late correspondence with Lord John Russell, admits that "it would be wrong to withhold the public aid for the instruction of those children of the poor whose parents conscientiously object to allow their children to be taught the Church Catechism, or to be compelled, as the price of their instruction, to attend divine service in other than their own place of worship." Surely it is time, if the term ,free trade may be applied to this branch of science, to throw it open; for if these restrictions be no longer considered necessary in the edu cation of the children of the poor, there can be no rea son why they should be adhered to as regards the children of those who do not require the aid of charity for such purposes. One of the evil consequences of the present exclusive system is that the most ignorant laymen may profess to instruct, and th us i mpose upon parents who may have neither time nor capacity to discover their incompetency. Another is, that even amongst those professors who have been admitted to holy orders, many are found to possess a very limited capacity for such duties; and so it must cot tinue as long as ever the mastership of a grammar school cannot be held by any individual, however qualified in other respects, unless he be a clergyman. So long as candidates for such professions see no chance of success except through the clerical office, go long will they be fond to enter the church with no other view than that of rendering it subservient to the scholastic profes sion; and while by these means the incompetent are frequently known to attain independence to the detri ment and at the expense of the public (not to say anything of the scandal thus brought upon the church itself) many highly accomplished and pre-eminently qualified lay teachers labour in vain for their subsistence, and are compelled to occupy lower places in public estimation than they deserve. To remedy these evils, it appears to us in the last degree desirable that a colle ge o f e d ucat i on s h ou ld b e esta blished with a board of examiners, to be composed, in the first in stance, of certain members of the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin; and oicertain Catholic, Wesleyan, and Dissenting colleges, with professors of the principal European and Oriental languages, anr', others distinguished for their attainments in the several branches of literature and science. That all candidates for the scholastic profession should be examined by this Board before they should be per mitted to practise, and that according to their proficieney they should be styled professors or licentiates, and receive certificates accordingly. But those who bad attained cer tain honours in other universities should be required only to register themselves in this College, and might be al lowed to practice in those branches for which they, had attained their honours, having been first examined in all others. That a Council should be chosen by the members of this College out of the list of professors thus assembled, with a president, vice-presidents, &c., by whom all laws, rules,and regulations f©r the government of the establishment, should be framed, subject to the approbation of the general meetings of the members. The necessary funds would accrue from the payments of students, and fees from those who should undergo examination for the practice of tuition. To obviate any difficulties or delays that might occnr preparatory to the completion of such an establishment, and to provide against the evils arising from the want of the requisite test, the examiners of the London Chartered University, might be authorized to perform this duty, or arrangements might possibly be made for adapting one of the existing establishments to the purposes in question. CHARTIST INTOLERANCE.—At eight o'clock on the evening of Friday last, a public meeting of Operatives was held in the Gaelic Church. Hope -street. The meeting consisted, or was meant to consist, of those friendly to the principle of non-intrusion, as contended for by the Church of Scotland, and their object was to consider the propriety of pe titioning the Legislature to give effect to that principle. Mr. James llrewn opened the proceedings by moving the first reso lution, which having been duly seconded, was about to be put to the meeting, when a Chartist orator rose with the inten tion, as was understood, of proposing the usual addendum of the Charter. This was a signal for a scene of the most perfect uproar, which continued with little abatement during the entire evening. The non-intrusion Operatives justly resented the heunding-on of the Chartist leaders, and one of the former sig nifically hinted that it seemed to be the feeling of Chartism to quaff liberty at the fountain-head, and dribble it out to others through the tube of a tobacco pipe. '1 he uproar continued to such a vehement degree that the men who occupied the plat form at length retired, leaving the Chartists to make the best of what they called their victory," and this was done by a little speechification, and a variorum of groans and cheers, after which the universal suffrage men scattered themselves. — Glasgow Herald. The Northern Times, in that spirit of enmity to the Sovereign whisk now pervade s th e T ory fact i on, declares that that by an Act passed in 1835 (sth and 6th William IV.), " all marriages of cousin:, subsequent to the passing of that Act, are illegal, null, and void," and " the issue of such marriages are considered illegitimate." The malice of this statement will be more palpable to the public than its falsehood. And lest it may be received, by some, for truth, we give it a flat contradic tion. The Act renders void certain marriages which, previous to its passing, were merely voidable. It does not introduce any Vele prohibitions on the score of consanguinity. Its intention is, that instead of leaving the marriage of persons "within the [already] prohibited degrees of consanguinity or affinity" simply voidable " by sentence of the Ecclesiastical Court, pronounced during the lifetime of both the parties thereto," such marriages should b e "i pso facto void; " and it accordingly enacts them to, be " absolutely null and void to all intents and purposes whatso ever," But "cousins" do not come within the "prohibited degrees ;" and the Act, therefore, does not affect them in the slightest degree. So much for Judas's law.-Gateshead Ob server. THE NEW POLICE ACT.--A question of con siderable importance, as affecting places within the jurisdiction of the new Act for the extension of the metropolitan police, in which markets are held, was decided on Monday before the Bench of Magistrates at Uxbridge. James Pearce, orange merchant at New Brentford, was summoned under the 7th clause of the 60th sect;on of the 2d and Hd Victoria, c. 47, for having, by erecting a stall ; arc., on the carriage-way of the town of Uxbridge, on Thursday, the 30th ult., caused an obstruction of the thoroughfare, whereby he had incurred a penalty of 40s. The charge having been proved, Mr. Woodbridge said he appeared on the part of the lords and trust of the manor and borough of Uxbridge, in whom the tolls, &c., of the market are vested for charitable purposes, and contended that those authorities of the town have the right to allow persons to set up stalls on market-days in any part of the borough, in opposition to the New Police Act, that privilege having been granted in the reign of Henry 11., in 1154, nearly a thousand years ago, and which must continue in full force unless specifically mentioned and annulled by the New Police Act. The Bench sa id t h ey h a d not a doubt that the New Police Act overturned the rights and privileges hitherto enjoyed by the town, and that although the defendant had paid toll to the clerk of the market for the standing of his stall, he had been guilty of an obstruction of the free carriage way, which could no longer be allowed, and for which he was amenable under the New Police Act, and liable to the penalty. As that case was only brought forward to settle the point, they should convict him in the penalty of ss, only, with costs. PENNY POSTAGE.-011 Monday morning last a gentleman in B ra df or d rece i ve d a pre-paid letter from a friend of his in Craven, but instead of having paid the penny at the Post-office, it had been very carefully inclosed in the letter; consequently, 4d. was charged on its being delivered in Brad ford—Ralf:far Guardian.
