By DANIEL MACARTHY, ESQ. " The ' Siege of Florence ' belongs to the class of novels in which Mr. James has so much distinguished himself ; and when we add, that it is little, if at all, inferior to some of the most popular of the productions of that clever writer, we shall not fait to excite concerning it a lively curiosity. The subject of this romance is very happily chosen, since it gives scope to the introduction of some of the most remarkable men of the time t - ) which it refers, both political and literary. The 'Sege f F orenee ' was the most memorable fact in the Listory of that famous republic ; and the manner in which this event has been male subservient to the purposes of the writer, shows very considerable skill, no less in conception than execution." —Naval and Mi itary Gazette.

Realizing all Cruikshanks' inimitable Tableaux Vivans, Z - be LONDON: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1840 The opinion that the Church of England, be cause she has been weak, and unable to carry out her principles to their full length in all cases by the sword, has conferred great benefits on the country, which was lately broached by Lord SANDON, is ra pidly gaining ground. A field is prepared for it in every parish, and it there takes root and flourishes. It would not be for a moment listened to in Ire land, so long afflicted with penal laws for the be hoof of the Church ; no man could utter it in an assembly of Dissenters, for upwards of more than a century and a half the victims of the Test Act, without provoking a derisive laugh ; but every well paid Rector welcomes it more fervently than the tidings of his salvation, and preaches it with more zeal than Christianity. At the Bucks Conserva tive dinner, held at Brill on Thursday, the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and the Members for the county being present, the Rev. J. BARON, speaking to the toast of " Church and State," praised the Church, en the nothing-like-leather principle, in the following terms : " To the Established Church they were indebted fcr many privileges and blessings. Amongst ethers, that important one of freedom of conscience. The greatest enemies of that Church, even, had confessed her mo deration and tolerance. To all men, however differing in religious opinions, the establishment of such a Church must a great blessing., and he trusted they would see that blessing still more extended." Little JEm, at school, is thrashed by big BEN ; when he complains and resists, he is told, " Be silent; you are a lucky dog; you do not get kicked and cuffed half as much as Tom is kicked and cuffed by SAM ;" and BEN, though he is a brutal, spiteful, arrogant bully, is set down by the compa rison as a virtuous, generous boy. Englishmen have not been as unmercifully treated by the priest hood as the Spaniards by the Inquisition. " See," say Parson BARON and Lord SANDON, " what blessings the Church has conferred on you !" Im prisonment for non-payment of Church-rates-- exclusion from civil offices, because her communion is not followed—taking tithes of the property of those who believe her an unchristian Church, are all to be regarded as blessings, because the more arrogant and iniquitous Church of Rome has burned men alive. Men judge by comparison. The priests compare the Church of England to the Papacy, and pronounce her a blessing ; other men compare her to the unpaid voluntary scheme of Dissent, and conclude that she is a curse only less heavy than the Papacy. Somewhere about the time that we were remark ing, the night before last, that the priesthood served MAMMON, and could not serve CHRIST, the said Mr. BARON, speaking of the extension of this blessed Church, was proving the truth of what we said. His observations are, we think, too remark able to be allowed to pass unnoticed : " There was a statute upon our books," be said, as reported in the Morning Post, " of Richard 11., in which the abbeys were called nu by the Bishops to support the parochial clergy, and it was in thgir power, and in the power of the people of England, to claim of the Legislature that it should call upon the present re ceivers of Church property, in accordance with the spirit of that Act, to afford a proper maintenance for the clergy in their localities. He felt astonished, in deed, that so just a nation as this had so long allowed this obvious injustice to continue. In that neighbour hood alone the College of Christ Church possessed two livings, of which they received the tithes, which were ample, and what reward did they bestow upon the ex cellent minister who did the duties? Twenty. two pounds per annum for each parish, and, instead of giving one clergyman to each parish, compelled the same to do duty in both.—(Hear, hear.) The Duke of Bed ford, it was reported, received the amount of 60,0001. a year, the whole of ,which was derived from Church pro perty, and yet it was well known that several livings in the gift of the Duke of Bedford had received augmen tation from the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty.— (Hear.) Now, let those persons who were in the same situation as the Duke of Bedford and this College of Christ Church—let these lay impropriators do but com mon justice to the Church, and make the nation some re turn for that which the nation paid them out of the reve nues of the Church, and then the blessings of the Pro testant Establishment would be extended far and wide. Let Lord John Russell, si ho last Session brought in a Bill to take away a portion of the cathedral property, next Session bring in a Bill by which the Duke (y Bed ford and others in the same position shall be called upon to pay and provide fora sufficient number of stipendiary curates in the livings from whose revenues they derive their splendid incomes, and then they would have reason to say that Lord John Russell was a just man ; but, tiil then, they would have full reason to question his sincerity.—(Chee-s.)" More pelf for the Church, not more learning, more kindliness, more virtue for the priesthood, was the burden of that passage. The Rev. Mr. BARON lifted not up his voice against war as unchristian, but he demanded more moprey for the clergy. H e sat amidst landowners, and heard the Corn-laws p raised, without reproaching those who take the bread out of the mouth of the poor ; but he was full of knowledge and eloquence in demonstrating that more of the national wealth should be appropriated to the priesthood. His observations were cheered, they were congenial to the company ; arid the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, with the rest of the convives, seems to approve of the opinion, that a " Bill ought to be brought in to make the Duke of BED FORD and others " restore to the Chula some of the property their ancestors took from the Church. In relation to the Dukes of BUCKINGHAM and BEDFORD, and to the bulk of noblemen and gentlemen in the kingdom, we think the Rev. Mr, BARON is quite right. As mere owners of rent, enjoying large revenues without any exertion on their parts, few or no persons assert that they are essential to the well-being of society. But the bulk of them, followed by a large part of the com munity, are never tired with doing homage to the THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, ISio. ! proud of having returned tw o Libe ral Members those who wish for Church Ex tension be g in by making all the plunderers of the Church, ever since the passing of the R efor m Bill , leagued whether Bishops and their sons , o r Kin g s' favou himself with a party that resisted to the last the re rites and theirsons, give up what they have taken I i peal of the Test and Corporat ion Acts , and would re• enact them in all their rigour , w ith the assistance fore the Church comes to Parliament for hel p she ifrom her.

Mr. BARON so expressed hiinself to Lord .northern capital, shall be arrayed against them. JOHN RUSSELL; and taking LordJOHN RUSSELL merely as the type of the admirers of the Church, who possess Church property, we quite agree with Mr. BARON. Whatever he may think of the piety of the priesthood, he is zealous for making them numerous and wealthy. The Times has lately given the Colleges a hint, in consequence of the way in which the Chapters have been dealt with, that should they not pay attention to their duties, they may be subjected to Parliamen tary revision. The Rev. Mr. BARON pro perly attacks Christ Church as well as the nobility, for neglecting to provide parsons for the people. Twenty-two pounds per year, in the estimation of the enlightened members of Christ Church, Ox ford, is the proper salary of a clergyman who attends to one parish, and to enable him to live they gave him 221. per year for another parish. The Christ Church men are of opinion that half a parson is enough for a parish ; they have ac cordingly given two parishes one between them, and his salary is 441. a-year. Christ Church, we have no doubt, joined in the petitions to Parliament for Church Extension, which the representative of Christ Church asked the Parliament to vote. In re lation to Christ Church, then, the Rev. Mr.BARON is perfectly right ; it ought to be made by the Legis lature, out of the Church revenues of the two pa rishes appropriated to it, to provide them with " Ministers of GOD." By the ordinary mail from Paris we have received the whole of the French Journals of Thursday, but the news which they bring was anticipated by the extraordinary express with the King's Speech, at opening the Chambers, published in the after noon edition of The Sun of yesterday. Of that Speech we yesterday expressed our en. tire approbation, in a few hastily-written sentences and we have only to add, that upon more delibe. rate reflection we said nothing which we wisi either to retract or modify. The Speech is all that we expected from the well-known moderation of the KING and the Minister for Foreign Affairs by whom it was drawn up. But we must await the debates upon it to ascertain its importance with respect to the destinies of France, and of Eu rope. At present every symptom in the political horizon indicates the continuance of peace. A correspondence between Captain FisnEn, the officer immediately in confinand of the blockading squadron off Alexandria, and the Consuls-General of France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Norway, Sardinia, Tuscany, the Two Sicilies, Greece, Hof- land, Belgium, and the United States of America, resident in Egypt, dated the 10th and 11th of October, on the subject of the blockade, appears in the Paris papers. The substance of it is sim ply that Captain FISHER, ignorant of the post ponement of the mercantile blockade by the Porte to the 16th of October, ordered it to commence on It is no part of our policy to assert that the pro perty of the nobility, and gentry, and colleges, which once belonged to the Church, ought to be restored to it. Neither do we think that it is politic in a " Minister of God" to make such a claim. The clergy must know that they are indebted to the secularization of part of the property of the Church, which has given the lead:ng and influential men cf the country an interest in it, for the preservation of what remains in their possession. It is not for•their interest, there fore, to ask back the secularized property. Men like Mr. BARON, however, who appear over zealous for all the Mammon-rights of the Church, forget the councils of prudence, and remind the nobility and gentry by their demands that some thing yet remains to be taken away. The revival in the Church, and the honiaee paid to the priest hood by very ignorant or over %%fly statesmen, have enlarged in the priesthood their appetite for power. They are just now more greedy in seeking it than ever. They look with a wistful eye on the land and tithes that once belonged to the abbeys. They claim part of them as a right ; they demand them back, and are yet too powerful for the peace and security of those who possess Church lands. The example of Mr. BARON, may, perhaps, con vince them . that they have, in the zealous priests of the day, who have been flattered into an extraordi nary degree of arrogance, some most insidious and dangerous enemies. Let the landed gentry and nobility go on encouraging the priesthood to regain, if possible, their former ascendancy over the people, and the possessors of Woburn and other abbeys may prepare to *give their halls and broad lands back to the Church. ;he 6th; but having learned four days afterwards "ram the Consuls-General that they had received ;he firman for its postponement, he at once raised the blockade on merchant vessels, and that it was the wish of the British Government that every facility should be afforded to commerce. SUBMISSION OF CANDIA.—We have lately heard of the project of our Government to occupy the island of Candid, and we had reason to believe that Admiral Stripier , ' had turned his attention to that island, in order to winter there. Whether the Ministry of the Ist of March had any such idea or not, nothing has been done to carry it into Effect. Yet what could have been more natural (since Mehemet Ali consented to restore that island to the Porte), than to accept it from the Viceroy, with the intention to give it up after that arrangement of the affairs of the East. It is now too late. We have news from Constanti- norde, thilt the Paella who commanded in Candia for Mehemet Ali has recognised the authority of the Porte ; that is to say, that that island is now at the disposal of England.—Le Commerce.

To give that country all possible local advantages, such as are suggested in the letter, without creating an ad ditional Legislature, would probably be good po licy. Irish causes should be tried in Ireland, and Irish students should not be compelled to come to England to learn the law. Such suggestions, how ever, will go a very little way to satisfy the Re pealers, who seem bent on kindling the passions of the people, and organizing them into one compact mass, ready to take advantage of all occurrences. Mr. O'CoNNELL may not succeed in what he professes, but we are assured that Repeal is very popular in Ireland, and that the agitation he is encouraging will make him so powerful, that he may be able to make his own terms with either the Whigs or the Tories. We have inserted two letters to-day relative to Mr. R. A. Reynolds, and have 'received many others, some of them well written, and expressing general dissatis faction with the letter lie had addressed to the news papers, but we see no use publishing more. The question has lost all interest as regards Mr. Reynolds. The public should now turn their attention to the source of the evil, and get up petitions to her Majesty and Parliament, in order to effect such a reform in the Horse Guards as should prevent th e recurrence o f a s imilar act of oppression. We mentioned lately that a part of the Conser vatives had chosen Lord STANLEY for their leader, and had advised Sir R. PEEL to retire to private life. In reference to this schism, we presume Mr. G. S HARCOURT, who is one of the Peelites, at the Brill dinner, on Thursday, took great pains to exalt the. merit of his chosen leader. He c alled him their able leader—that renowned and straightfor ward statesman, Sir ROBERT PEEL—who led them from victory to victory. They must all have read in the daily prints an account of the efforts made by that compact phalanx of honest men, the Con servative party, in the House of Commons ; and, when they bethought themselves of the wonderful energy of their honest and able leader, they could not fail to be lost in admiration of the extraordinary talents of that eminent individual, his straightfor ward earnestness of purpose, and high-toned recti tude of conduct. They might heve seen how truly like a statesman that eminent man had directed his course, straightforward to his ob ject, turning neither to the right nor left. The Peelites sic afraid of Lord STAN Lt r, and very shabbily seek to deprive him of the merit of the victories he obtained over the Ministers on the Irish Registration question. When the Conserva tives have settled who is to be their leader, we shall be able to infer what is to be their line of policy, and shall be prepared to look for paltry compro mise or unshrinking bigotry.

Yesterday information was communicated to the Thames police of the loss of two baps of 200 Portu guese gold coins from the Wilberforce steam-ship during her late voyage from Lisbon to London. Before the ship left Lisbon 16 bags of gold coins were smuggled on board, the Portuguese law prohibiting the exporta tion of the money of the country. The whole were given over to the charge of Mr. Smith, the supercargo of the vessel, who is an old and confidential servant of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com -13-111Y. He deposited 14 bags in the lazaretto under the saloon or principal cabin, in the after run of the ship, and delivered two others into the charge of the Captain. On Tuesday morning the ship arrived at Blackwall, and Mr. Smith, having some business to transact ashore, directed the mate to transfer the bags of gold from the lazaretto into the Captain's cabin, and informed him that he would find fourteen bags. He found, however, only twelve, which ho locked up in the Capt a i n ' s cabin. On - the following day, when the super cargo returned to the Wilberforce the loss was made gold wa s known to him ; and Mr. Hartley, the wharfinger of the Lam beth-street, who has been superannuated, Dublin Steam Wharf, St. Catherine's, to whom the the gold to the Bullion Office, in the Bank of England, consigned, after removing the remainder of seat for James the police o fficer, formerly of Lam will be recollected, and who, it was the person who brought to jus tice the Caspars, Mooney Moses, and others for steal ing the gold dust from Mr. Hartley's premises. Lea has been using every means to discover the parties im plicated, but hi t h erto without e ff ec t. Each bag was of the value o f 2,0001. Th ey wer e consigned to Mr. so great a loser by Hartley, who was the gold dust robbery ; but it i s r i ght to state t h a t no blame can be a ttached to any o,r the servants of that g entleman, as the robbery was effected before the gold was given into the charge of the wharfingers. MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF LONGFORD. The election of Chief Magistrate of the City of Edinburgh was to take place yesterday, but the result of the election of Town-Councillors has de prived it of all interest, as no doubt remained that sir JAMES FoRREsT, the present Provost, would be re-elected. Sir JAMES is a Non-Intrusionist, and professes to be a Liberal, yet has he for the last six months been straining every nerve to defeat Mr. ADAM BLACK, well known, not in Edinburgh only, but throughout the United Kingdom, for his great moral worth and Liberal principles.

Though the Speech of the King of the French is looked upon as being of a favourable nature for the maintenance of peace, it has had but little influence on the British Funds. The warlike preparations on our part, rather damp the spirit of our speculators ; some fear is also entertained that the new French Ministry will not be of long duration, and that the war party will at last prevail.

WICK, OCT. 30.--The weather from Friday last, up to Thursday, bas proved most unpropitious for the termination of harvest operations. The con tinued and heavy torrents of rain which fell almost without interruption for more than fifty hours, has completely drenched the country, and put an entire stop both to the shearing and gathering in of the crop, one third of which is said to be st'll in the fields. Tuesday was one of the worst days we have experienced this season, it having blown a complete hurricane, which, accompanied as it was by continued and heavy rains, must have occa sioned serious injury to the corn and potatoe crops. The storm of rain and wind continued for several days, but as it luckily remained cold, we trust that the corn in stook, which, saturated with water as it was, it was feared might grow, is as yet sound. —John o' Groat Journal.

The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which was also an appeal from the decision oft he Master of the Rolls, all swing a demurrer put in by the defendant to the plaintiff's hill. The bill was filed I by the plaintiff, as the creditor to an insolvent - who, after his insolvency, had acquired property, against that insolvent's yrs mai repre,.entative, for the purpose of protecting the property of which the insolvent died possessed ; and also to have the declaration of the Court ' that he was entitled to be paid, notwithstanding the in solvency. The question in the case was, whether the Insolvent Debtors' Act had taken from the Court the right to interfere in any manner for the relief and pro tection of the creditors. Upon the case coming . on before the Master of the Rolls, his Lorti.- ship as of opinion that the jurisdiction of the Court was taken away, and from that decision the parties appealed. His Lordship was of opinion the order of the Master of the Rolls was correct, and dismissed the appeal with costs. DAVIS V. CLOUGH. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which related to a solicitor's bill. His Lordship dismissed the appeal with costs. The COURT then proceeded with the paper of ori ginal causes, in some of which decrees were taken upon the production of an affidavit of service, and others were struck out, no party appearing. His Lordship having got through his paper, rose shortly after eleven o'clock. BOLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CHETUTE V. LORD VISCOUNT MELBOURNE. FRENCH CLAIMS. This case stood in the paper by special appointment to. day, and upon its being called on, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on behalf of Lord Mel bourne and other Lords of the Treasury, stated that before the case procteded he had two proposals to make to his Learned Friend, Mr. Pemberton, who ap peared for the petitioner, Mons. Chetute, and it would be for him to consider whether or not it would be for the benefit of his client to accept either of them. If the first was accepted it would have the effect of put ting an end to the cause altogether, and if the second was accepted it would save the Court the trouble of hearing the present intcriccutory application for an in• junction. Doubtless the Court was acquainted with the facts of the case. The plaintiff was the represen tative of a Mr. Moorgrove, who claimed under class 13 of the French Treaties Compensation Fund. The fund appropriated to class 13 was exhausted, but in the fund appropriated to class 7 there was a surplus ; it was against that surplus that the claim was made by Mr. Moorgrove.

He (the Attorney- General) did not wish, on the part of the Lords of the Treasu y, who could have no personal feeling in the matter, to throw any obstacles in the way of the peti tioner, and he was therefore desirous that it should be seen how much was really due to Mr. Moorgrove, and he was willing that be should be allowed to come, in pani passu, with all the class No. 13 upon the fund No. 7, with regard to what was really due ; but the Lords of the Treasury said that there was a mistake in the report of Mr. Baldwin, for that gentle. man had reported twice as much as was due. The Lords of the Treasury did not wish to pay twice as SHEERNESS. much as was due to Mr. iNloorgrove. The Treasury therefore were willing, without at all inquiring whether the Court had jurisdiction or not, that a referee should he directed to inquire what was due. If his Learned Friend was not prepared to accept that offer, the second proposition he would make was this— which, if accepted, would have the effect of putting a stop to the present motion for an injunction. It was suggested in the petition, that the Lords of the Trea sury were about to disburse the whole fund, and that therefore there would be no remedy. Now he would undertake on behalf of the Lords of the Treasury that a sufficient sum should be reserved out of the fund to answer the lull amount of the claim. _ _ Mr. PESIBERTON said it was impossible for his client to oppose the last alternative of-his Learned Friend. Nobody could suppose that the Lords of the Treasury had any other desire than to distribute the fund properly, but his client contended that the award of Mr. Baldwin was correct. As he on behalf of his client accepted the latter proposition, he appre hended the petition would stand over, the Attorney- General undertaking, pro forma, that the Lords of the Treasury would retain sufficient to meet his client's de mand. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said if it was considered necessary he had no objection to do that. The MASTER of the ROLLS—You have this advan tage Mr. Pemberton, that the Attorney-General will submit to the alternative prayer. Mr. PEMBERTON—Nothing could be more satisfac tory than the proposition of my Learned Friend. Thus the matter rests at present. His LORDSHIP then proceeded with the hearing of the other petitions on paper. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with the part-heard case of Ward v. Fermin, which came before the Court upon further di rections and costs. QUEEN'S BENCH.--(THIS DAY.) (In Banco.) WRIGHT V. WILLIAMS. Sir F. POLLOCK moved in this case, which was heard before Lord Denman at the last Middlesex sit tings, for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant on the fifth pica should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of its being against evi dence. It was an action to recover a sum of 90 guineas, the value of a phaeton, sold by the plaintiff, coach builders, to the defendant, a gentleman residing in Wales. The declaration stated that the plaintiff had fitted up a phaeton, which they had sold to the defend ant, who had undertaken, by a written contract, to pay for it. The pleas were, first, that the defendant did oat undertake to pay ; second, that the plaintiff did not within a reasonable time fit up the phaeton ; third, that the plaintiff did not offer to deliver the phaeton ; fourth, that there was no contract in writing ; and, fifth, that the contract was, by the consent of plaintiff and defendant, rescinded and annulled. The Jury found for the plaintiff on the first four pleas, there being no doubt of the agreement to purchase the phaeton, but found for the defendant on the fifth, which was the material plea. The Learned Counsel proceeded at soave length to contend that the putting an end to the first contract was conditional upon the defendant taking another car riage. The evidence at the trial having been read by Lord DENMAN, The COURT was of opinion that there was no ground for disturbing the verdict =Rule refused. al The fitting of the Camperdown proceeds as rani pa the mber of workmen to be obtained will permit. pf was p nu ut in commission as a flag-ship in cons e q ueae gba the appointment of the Howe for foreign service. r se is rated at 100 guns, and her complement is to area eE lieutenants, a master, surgeon, A purser, with a l) , to 260 other officers, men, and boys.

Mr. JERVIS moved in this case, which was heard be fore Lord Denman at the last Middlesex Sessions, and the plaintiff nonsuited for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff. It was an action of assumpsit for money paid, and the plea was non-assumpsit. The plaintiff and defendant were joint acceptors of a bill of exchange for the sum of 1161. for the accommodation of a person named Dads. At the trial Davis stated that he had applied to the plaintiff who had agreed to accept the bill for him, but a second name being required, Hughes desired Davis to go to Griffin and ask him to put his name on the bill, and that he Hughes would pay it. Hughes was called upon to pay, and did pay the bill, and he then called uponthe de fendant for contribution. The case of Davis and Turner had been relied upon, in which it was laid down, that where a party induced another to put his name on a bill, there was no pretence for saying that the person so induced cou!d be called upon to pay contribution. He (Mr. Jervis) apprehended that that was bad jaw, and that the defendant should have required a guarantee before he put his name on the bill. Lord DENMAN thought the case went even further than the law was laid down in Davis v. Turner, for there was evidence that something like an express guarantee had passed between the parties.—Rule refused. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) MAY AND OTHERS V. BETTERING A ND OTHERS. Mr. GRAY applied for a rule to show cause why a judgment obtained on a warrant of attorney should not be set aside, on the ground :hat the warrant of attorney was neither stamped nor attested. It appeared that on the 31st of December the four defendants executed a warrant of attorney in the country for 1,0001. The warrant was drawn upon a 1/. stamp, and was properly attested by an attorney. The c ountry attorney sent the document up to his London agent, and he discovered that it was n o t f or a p e nal sum, and sent it down again to the count r y a tt orne y. He altered the document inserted th e sum 2,000/, as a penal sum, alter e d the date, and made sundry other alter aLow in that, document. The parties Tc-CXectited it with a dry pen, but the attestation remained the same as before. Under these circumstances he contended that the document ~' • 1
