SECO SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Globe.) The Tories know HI well that they cannot dispense with the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, and therefore submit reluctantly to he kept back by those who are called their leaders. This they do with a mixture of compliment for past and censure on pre sent conduct, which imputes a great falling off either in courage or power. The Irish Corporation Bill is a sore grievance, and seems likely to produce as much insubordi nation in the Upper as it did in the Lower House. The Herald regrets that the Duke of Weliington does not adopt the same system of tactics with which he opposed Napoleon ; and saes that in supporting the second read ing of the Bill " he gave the strongest reasons possible why be should have opposed it. In his speech on that question his Grace observed that lie was out of town on public bilsiness on the third reading of the Irish Poor Law when an amendment was carried, not only inconsistent with the details of that measure, but fun damentally opposed to the principle in view." This gives a show of validity to the Herald's charge ; for, certainly, during the Peninsular war, when the Com mander-in-Chief was obliged to be absent from head quarters, he deputed his authority to some other officer. Perhaps on this occasion he was less ably supported than in his campaigns—perhaps he felt less confidence in his troops ; for though we believe he expressed an ho nourible pride at having converted a set of raw recruits, in the highest state of demoralisation, into " soldiers fit for any thing," we cannot blame him for not making Lord Stanhope comprehend either principle or detail— and who could have been put over that Noble Lord's head to command the army of observation on a pocr-law question ? (From the Standard.) It frequently happens to men, when warmly engaged with others in a course which they suppose to be common, to proceed heedlessly with their companions, until startled by some new view of their direction, or some striking proof that they have gone further than their first purpose designed. This is a case for firm and conscientious men to consider—and when they consider it calmly, they will general!) , feel that the time has arrived for retracing their steps. Last night a number of petitions from Dissenters were presented "egainst church extensimi.' This phrase must have a - solemn sound to such assen tors (the grt a!, majority) as admit that the Church, from which they separate On formal grounds, is still a Gospel preaching Church. Such men must rcgaid a I.etition against Church extension as a petition as qinst Me ex tension of the preaching of the Gospel. We are sure that few, very few, Dissenters have seen the matter in this light ; but this is the truth of the case, and the pe titioners against Church extension would do well to think in time. (From the Courier.) Wc notice that the Irish journals on the Ministerial side ,:re beginning to assume a very desponding tone in referenee to the meetings of the oppo nents of the Registration Bill. The people do not cordially join in the schemes for the pre. servation of abuse, and the disturbance of the country. " A fatal apathy," says the Dublin Monitor, "joined with a suspicion of all new schemes of agitation, has taken possession . of the popular mind. There is no wisdom in disguising this truth, of which we dt.Ty se,e most lamentable proofs." And speaking of the meetings against the Registration Bill, the same journal says : " An isolated mectit q g here and thete'congregated, after great exertion, is not an evidence of national activity. They merely indicate how dead the people have become to questions vitally affecting their own interests, when, in such a momentous crisis, the movement is so partial —so exoTec;ingly sluggish." . . .ludgirTgrfromthis admitted indisposition of the people to lend their assistance to the Land of traitors, who are, it appearg, vainly endeavouring to draw them into acts which must end in their utter destruction, and contrast in the numbers and respectability of this meeting with the persons who composed the meeting which wa3 got up on 'Thursday in Belfast, we are almost induced to believe that a reaction has generally commenced. We shall be glad to find that such is the case, as then there can he no doubt that real and substantial " justice for Ireland" will be at no great distance. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Various private Nils on the table were advanced a stage.

Gentleman that no step which could expedite the business should be neglected. Sir JAMES GRAHAM wished to ask the Hon. Gentleman the Under Secretary of State for the Fonie Department a question which, if he were then not able to answer, perhaps he would take an early opportunity of doing so. The Ilousa were aware that in conformity n ith the Municipal Reform Act abstracts oh the accounts of different Corporations in England and Wales, were to be furnished by the auditors. The ac counts of the years 1837 and 1838 had been printed, and that of the year 1839 had been presented but was not yet printed. He was informed that in some instances a difference of opinion had arisen as to the propriety of the account between the two audi tors. The question he wished to ask was, whether there would he any difficulty in the accounts about to be printed of showing in the abstract of each account, whether the auditors concurred in passing it, or when such was the case, of showing when only one auditor had approved and signed them. Mr. FOX MAULE said that he could not make any arrangement with regard to the accounts already presented. With regard to these accounts for the future, he entirely concurred in the justice of the observatio ns of the Right Honourable Gen tleman, an d as far as the. opinion of the Secre tary of St a t e went, he wouldcause it to be signi fied to the Mayors of the various towns, that tor the futur e it wou l d be right to state if both auditors concurred in passing the accounts, or if they had been approved of by one only. CONSTABULARY BILL. Mr. GREENE wished to ask the Hon. Gentleman, the Under Secretary for th e H ome Department, if it was probable that the discus s i on o f the Constabulary Bill would be brought on at an ear l y day, and if it w -s the intention of the Hon. Gentleman to introduce any alterations into the I3ill, he would suggest the propriety of its being committed pro forma, in order to hare those alterations printed prior to their being discussed. Mr. FOX MAULE was anxious that the Bill should he proceeded with as speedily as possible. H e would now take the opportunity of mentioning one alteration which he intended to propose. He had intended proposing that the boroughs should unite their police to the p o li ce of the counties, if the counties adopted the rural police. Ha thought that such a provision would be a good one, but he feared that it would encounter too much oppoei. ITV:ENING EDITION. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 184.0. tion to carry it into effect. He, however, intended to propose an alteration, giving the boroughs an opportu nity of uniting with the county it they thought proper, but leaving it optional with them, and he had no doubt that if they did form such union, it would be productive of good effe , :ts.—(Cheers.) Sir E. KNATCHBULL wished to know if the Hon. Gentleman could fix a day for the discussion of thc,‘ Mr. FOX :MULE was anxious it should come on as soon as possible, but could not fix a day. NAVAL AND MILITARY COMMISSION. Captain BOLDER() wished to know if it was the intention of the Gov,rnment to carry into effect the recommendations of the Naval and Military Com mission ? Mr. MACAULAY said it was. Captain BOLDERO wished to know when it was likely those recommendations would be carried into effect. Mr. MACAULAY said they could not be carried into effect until a grant of money shovid have been voted for the purpose. He was anxious that no unne cessary delay should take place, but .he could not at present say when such grant would be proposed. Mr. C. BERKELEY asked if, under the Con. stabulary Bill, the option of the Boroughs to adopt the union of their police with the counties was to be with the rate-payers or the Commissioners ; the dif&- ence would he considerable. Mr. FOX MAULE'S answer was somewhat unin telligible, but .we heard distinctly, that in Corporate Boroughs, the option was to be with the Councils. Mr. IV ARBURTON• complained of Alt'orman Copeland for having presented a petition referri )g to him and to Mr. HAWCS, without mentioning it to him. Alderman COPELAND apologised. Mr. WARBURTON said he should not have acted with so little courtesy to the Hon. Member.— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") In answer to Mr. Sergeant JACKSON, Lord MORPETH said the Government were anxi ous to pass through the House the Bill for separating from the Local Boards, in:lrish Corporate Towns, the fiscal powers, and vesting them in the Councils, as a wish had been expressed elsewhere for the measure, Mr. PIGOT telt it his duty to say that the Govern ment had never intended to separate the Bill from the Corporation Act. Oa the motion of Mr. G. W. HOPE the following Members wee appointed to form the Select Committee on thz. Grammar Schools . Bill :—Mr. George W. Hop., Mr. Acland, Mr. Bruges, Mr. William Baring, Sir Heatlicote, Mr. Estcourt, the Earl of Lincoln, Sir Eardiey Wilmot, Mr. Alston, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr. Haytor, Sir Cnatles 14!rnon, Mr. Sanford, Mr, MP& may, and Mr. James Stewart. _ .

The Oyster Fisheries Bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned at Half-past Five o'Clock. DREADFUL STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT AND Loss or LIFE.—On Saturday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, as a party of men, glass-blowers and cutters by trade, in number seventeen, were rowing up the river, near the Old Swan Stairs, at Chelsea, the Bridesmaid steam-host ran foul of the cutter, and every person was throw n i n t o t h e water. The cries for help soon brought many waternien with their boats to the spot ; and notwithstanding many of them had drifted a considerable distance, sixteen out of the party were rescued from a watery grave; but the other unfortunate Iran, named George Tucker, who resided in Ashentree-court, Wa ter-lane, Fleet-street, sank to rise to more. It appears that the Bridesmaid was or. her way from the stairs to the City with passengers, when the captain, seeing the eight -oared boat on its way, hailed them to pull hard in shore, but no notice was taken by the party, and notwithstanding the engine was in stantly stopped, the vessel could not be arrested in its progress till the fatal accident had happened. The survivors were taken ashore, and put in beds at the Old Swan, where the usual re medies were resorted to with success.

But a considerably tarp r sum will be required for underbuilding. The following resolutions, on the motion of Sir William Rae, seconded by Mr. Cadell, were unanimously agreed to :—.. That, in the opinion of the 1 - sleeting, the most desirable site for the Scott monument is that within the inelosure of the Prince's street Gardens, immediately opposite to the foot of South St. David-street. That the Sub-Committee be directed to take all requisite measures for having the monument erected on the spot with as little delay as circumstances may admit of. And that the subscription be re-opened with the view of obtain ing funds to meet the increased expense attending the founda tion of the structure, and in providing some means for its future maintenance. "—Edinburgh Weekly Advertiser. About half -past twelve on Monday morning, as two • young men, of the names of John Harrison and Thomas Bert, otherwise Bever, were returning from the railway station, Euston-square, when they arrived at Blackfriars-bridge, the latter said he would take a swim, when he immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the water. The tide flowing rapidly, he was carried under the arch, and called out to his companion for assistance, but the latter was unable to swim. Samuel Kett, of the City Police, on duty at the time, was called by Harrison, but no trace could be found of the body.

Some strong speeches were made denouncing the Bill of Lord Sta n l e y . as a measure designed to narrow th Irish constitneney and disfranchise a vast number of the Liberal N eters. • Dr. Blaticbtirn was in the ; chair, and among the leading Reformers present were William Rathbone, Esq., Aldermen Currie and Shell, Col. Williams, Mcssrs. Bolton, Fletcher, Ewart, and Aiken. Mr. O'Connell was expected, but did not arrive. The following resolution, among others, was unanimously adopted ;—That the provisions of the Bill are in direct opposition to the liberal and enlightened course by which the Irish Government has of late years so tem perately administered the affairs of that country; and would substitute in place of the kindly feelings of confidence now ex isting in the majority of the Irish people, which is the natural offspring of such conduct, the strongest sentiments of alienation nd distrust.

Duelling is a matter on which we might defy the doughty Sir Hudibras himself, were he in the flesh, to decide " what's what," to the satisfaction of the va rious sections into which civilised mankind is subdi vided with regard thereto. The most rational rule of conduct on this point with which we are acquainted is that pursued by Mirabeau, who, we are told, re ceived challenge after challenge from members of the opposite party. Unable to measure wits with him, they were anxious to measure swords. But Mirabeau understood their game, and wisely declined playing it. To all their invitations he gave a fiat refusal ; at the same time taking a note of every challenge, with a pro mise to meet the challenger ae soon as public busi ness would permit. "It would be an injustic," said he, speaking of some worthy gentleman who had sent him a message of defiance, " were Ito expose a sensible man like myself, by giving a meeting to a fool like him." We earnestly request general atten tion to this. Such a sentiment, if taken into favour, would prove as effectual a peace-maker as Touchstone's " if." It is very rarely that a man is disposed to write himself down an ass : his intimate conviction leans naturally the other way. How consolatory, then, for one receiving a challenge thus to fall back on the sen• timent of his own dignity and of the challenger's unwor thiness, of his own good sense and the other':folly. It is true that every man may not have the courageous charac ter of a Mirabeau to support the prudence of such a proceeding. No matter for that. Having once made up his mind to adopt it, he may easily find boldness enough to take the bull by the horns, by showing the challenge to his family and friends, in evidence of his opponent's folly, and vaunting his procedure as a proof of his own good sense. One will este do that patica frankly, stw'illb a be nd in gained rndaayn,of peace which is now so frequently done theby this— e tr ofie through the sneaking employment of others, as the Bo.v-street officers could testify, " and if they would :" and the world, probably hi s : private circle most assuredly—will on reflection agree with him and his facetious predecessor, that " the better part of valour is discretion.''—Frascr's Magazine. TIIE NEW PAROCHIAL ASSESS AIENT ACT.-PARISH OF WATFORD. A vestry meeting of the parishioners of Watford took place yesterday, for the purpose of determining whether the parish shouid be surveyed, mapped, and enclosed, under the Parochial Assessment Act. The proceedings created a great deal of interest, and the vestry-room was crowded with the inhabitant rate-payers. It will be recollected that a great deal of litigation has taken place between the Vicar of Watford, the Hon. and Rev, Mr. Capel, and the parish officers, upon the subject of the Poor-rate, the Reverend Gentleman c,,n tending that the rates have not been made upon a fair and equitable principle, in accordance with the pro visions of the Parochial Assessment Act, ard that a proper survey and valuation of the parisd should be made. The parish officers, on the other hand, have considered that the valuation made some time since by a Committee of the rate payers was a satisfactory one, and they have declined taking any steps to obtain a fresh valuation, which they consider would be entailing an unnecessary expense upon the inhabitants. The present vestry meeting was convened for the purpose of taking the sense of the rate payers upon the point. The Hon. and Rev. Mr. CAPEL, the vicar, presided. The Earl of Essex then addressed the meeting, and painted eut the inconvenience that was occasioned by the want of a proper valuation of the property in the parish, and said that it was impossible for a fair and equitable rate to be made, unless the pro perty in the parish was properly surveyed and valued by competent persons. His Lordship concluded by proposing a resolution, that in the opinion of the vestry it was expedient that the necessary steps should be taken to have the parish forthwith surveyed, mapped, and valued. Mr. W. CAPEL seconded the proposition, which was supported by Mr. Thomas R9gers and Mr. J. Howard. Mr. HORNCASTLE, after expressing his opinion that the proposed valuation was quite unnecessary, and would entail a considerable expense upon the rate• payers without any advantage, moved the following amendment--!' T bat it is the opinion of this vestry that there is no necessity for making an application under the Parochial Assessment Act, for a survey, map, and valuation of this parish." Mr. F. llysoN seconded the amendment. Mr. GOLDSMITH said he concurred in opinion with Mr. Horneastle, that it was quite unnecessary tr put the parish to an expense of several hundred pounds for a new survey and valuation of the property in it; the more especially as in a short time there must be a minute and expensive survey for the purpose of fixing the tithe commutation rent charge, and which would be paid for exclusively by the landowners, and the parish would have an opportunity of making use of that valuation, if necessary, as a, copy of the apportionment , would be placed with the parish books and papers. --= --- - - After a good deal of diseuision the original resolu tion and the amendment were put from the Chair, and the amendment was carried by a considerable majority. It is to be hoped that this expression of the feelings and wishes of the rate-payers will put an end to the liti gation that has so long harassed the parish of Watford. STEAM AND SAILING VESSELS The following comparative statement of sailing and steam voyages across the Atlantic, during 1839, extracted from a New York paper, will prove interesting : In the Old or Black Ball line of packets, the average length of twenty-three voyages to England was 221 days —one being 18 days ; five, 19 ; six, 20 ; one, 21 ; two, 22 ; two, 24 ; ono, 2,5 ; one, 26 ; two, 28; one, 29 ; and one, 26 days.

Several of the windows in the chamber above were broken, and some of them from two to three inches out of their places. The east wall of the house, forming the gable, was forced outwards for more than an inch; in fact, the whole building was so shattered as in many places to look like a complete wreck. Mr. Foord, be sides being knocked down, had nearly the whole of his hair singed off, while his neck and face were severely burnt ; and for a while he was left in a state of blindness and insensi bility. One of the children was lifted from the floor to the ceiling above without receiving material injury, save the singe ing of the hair from the eye-brows and eye-lashes, and partly from the head, and a few contusions. The other part of the family were providentially saved frOm what appeared to be almost certain destruction. Immediately on the explosion taking place, the house was covered with soot from th e chimneys, in every part of it. On inquiry this morning, (Thursday), we found Mr. Foord, although still suffering se verely, making a considerable approach to a state of convales cence. —Doncaster Gazette.

BRAINTREE CHURCH-RATE CArE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, FRIDAY. Lord Derman, at the sittine of the Court of Queen's Bench, delivered judgment, rhe a was a ease which had come before the Court on demurrer to a prohibition di.. rected to the Ecclesiastical Court of the Bishop of Lon don, requiring him not to proceed further against the 'plaintiff for the recovery of a rate imposed on the pride oners of Braintree, in Essex, by the Churchwardens alone, notwithstanding the vote of the vestry, by which a rate was refused. This had raised the question whether the Church. wardens had the power to impose such rate against the declared will of the inhabitants in vestry assembled. In debating the question, the law or doctrine that by the custom of England the inhabitants of a perils were bound to repair the fabric of the church had not been disputed. The question which now arose was whether the Churchwardens were empowered to hr. pose a rate at all events, and had authority to impose it, and might, if they neglected that duty, be compellable by ecclesiastical censures to perform it ? If they did not possess such a power, and vet were subjected to such a liability, there would be, so far as the churchwardens were concerned e a wrong without a remedy; an argument in it self strong against the rule contended for in this case, since such a state of things was abhorrent to the law of England. The wrong was the neglect of the parishioners to afford funds for the repairs of the church ; but the remedy to that evil sought to be enforced by those proceedings in the Et:- clesiasticel Courts was one which would in itself be a wrong upon the Churchwardens, since its object was to make them tax their fellow.parishiowers, without it being at all clear that they had any power to do so. It was said, on the one hand, that the denial of the right to regulate those matters by ecclesiastical authority alone involved the most dangerous consequences to the Church, while, on the other, it w,s asserted that the power of the Ecclesiastical Court to compel the Co urchwardens to perform a duty to which their legal /sewers were inadequate, would involve them in consequences of the most serious and extraor dinary kind. It was confessed that they were bound by law to repair the fabric of the Church, and yet it ices equally clear that, without the consent of the parishionais, or without the power in themselves to impose a Church. rate, they were left without the means to perform the duty thus cast upon them. That argument would be entitled to great consideration, subjecting, as it did, the Churchwaidens to great personal liability, and, possibly, to great personal inconvenience, when they were destitute of the funds necessary to the support of the fabric of the Church, and were unable to supply by their own autho rity any of the wants of the Church, to the supply of which the Chureh-rates were legally liable. If there were no Church-rates to repair the Church, and yet the Churchwardens were liable to actions for any injury which pessengers might sustain from the falling of the walls of the Church, they would, in fact, be liable to repair the Church out of their own private property. This was too great an injustice to conceive them to be subjected to by the provisions of the law. If there was any general praz tice for them to make advances for the repair of the Church, it was clear that the law never could intend that they should not be entitled to demand payment. If it was otherwise, the law would be liable to be charged with manifest op pression and injustice. If the liability really did exist, its existence would tempt the Courts to imply a vested right in the Churchwardens of England to tax the inhabitants, in order to obtain that reimbursement which would other wise be denied them. But there was no instance in the law of the Churchwardens possessing any such vested right ; while, on the other hand, numerous au thorities established the proposition that the Church wardens were liable only its respect of the money which they actually had in their hands. The principle of the ecclesiastical law with respect to the duty of these officers was, therefore, qualifiacl by the supposition of the parishioners having provided them with adequate resources. The burden of establishing the lia bility was, in the present instance, cast upon the defendant in prohibition. Now, how was that liability discharged? The law required it to be clearly demonstrated that a tax was lawfully imposed before it would allow that tax Ito be levied. The power asserted here to tax the parish ioner was not clearly established. Such a power was not shown to exist by the words of any statute, by the common law, nor by custom. Nur was there anything to show that a Church-rate could be properly imposed upcn the inhabit ants of a parish, except by the inhaleitaets in vestry assem bled. The expression in Gibtom'a Codex was, that a church rate might lawfully be imposed by the Church wardens, together with parishioners assembled in vestry; but in that author there was no declaration that it might be imposed by the Churchwardens alone, without the consent of tire parishioners. And though it was distinctly laid down by the Lord Chief Justice North, that the parishioners were punishable for not repairing the Church, he never stated that the Churchwar dens were bound to make those repairs with funds of their own, or that they had the power in themselves to tax the parishioners for such a purpose. If such a power existed in the Churchwardens it was impossible to suppose that it would not have happened to be called into exercise before the pre sent day; that it would not have happened that a Church warden might wish to impose a rate where a rate had been altogether refused, or one of an insufficient amount had alone been gray ted. But it might be supposed, however improbable was the supposition, that during the great contests between the people and the episcopal power in this country, when the parishioners had refused the rate, the Churchwardens had taken part with the parishioners. Even that supposition would not advance the argument for the defendant in prohibition. The pariah Church must have been left without repair ; and if the Churchwardens were anitseable to the Spiritual Court for the non-repair of the Church, and at the same time enjoyed the power of taxing the parish towards the necessary expenses of such repairs, nothing could have been more simple, direct, and com plete than the proceedings which might then have been taken against the Churchwardens. The rate must then have been imposed. But instead of taking that course, so utterly free from, objection, the Bishops adopted a new and unheard of species of authority, under the name of a commission, to levy rates, and they did this to secure the performance of a duty which, it was now argued, they might have compelled the Churchwardens, by the ordinary process of law, to perform. If the mere necessity for do ing an act could create the machinery by which it was to be done, that commission would have been perfectly lawful. But it was not lawful; and if the Bishops could have attained the object in view through the enforcement of the sole authority of the churchwardens, and against the will of the parishioners, as it was not asserted could lawfully have been done, the scandal of an unconstitutional attempt would not have been incurred. At that time, as well as the great epoch of the Reformation, the subject underwent frequent discussion, but in no instance was the existence of the power broadly asserted by any of the learned text writers on ecclesiastical subjects. The Court had most carefully examined all the numerous cases cited in argument, but had 'found them for the most part to bear but imperfectly on the question, and did not feel it necessary to make comments on them beyond those which had been made in the course of die cussiOn at the bar. There were, however, one or two cases which were exceptions to this rule, and which did re quire a moment's notice. There were the cases of Maynard v. Bland, and a case decided by Sir W. Wynne, from the Consistorial Court of Peterborough. In the latter case, it appeared that the vestry had been called together, and had refused to make a rate, and the law was laid down by Sir W. Wynne to this effect--that un der such circumstances, if the parishioners did not make a rate, the Churchwardens, had a right to make it them selves. In the present case, which had come before Dr. Lushington, that declaration of the law was commented on, and the learned Judge said that, sitting where he did, he felt bound by the superior authority of Sir W. Wynne, but at the same time he commented on it in such a mariner as to show that, in his opinion, it was not to be maintained in point of principle. The question thus undecided had now come befare this Court, and amounted, in fact, to neither more nor less than this--Could an ecclesiastical judge make the law ? If the conclusions of such a judge were made from reasons and principles, they were liable, of course, to be con sidered in argument, and to bare their proper force estimated and determined. But it must be confessed that a doctrine so novel and important' had never been promulgated with so little effect to conciliate opposing arguments. The point thus arbitrarily settled was not discussed at all—nei ther reason nor authority was vouched in its behalf, but tho whole proceeding bore the appearance, and perhaps truly, of being a proceeding of an ex-parte kind. With all the respect that wasjustlydle to the venerable person from whom that judgment had proceeded (Sir Wm. Wynne), this Court felt bound to declare that it did not appear to be justified in principle or to rest on a well settled basis of recognised authority. It had heen supposed that in a previous case Lord Stowell had expressed a simi lar opinion ; but upon inquiry, that did not appear to be the case. The conclusion, th, refore, at which this Court arrived was, that the Court Chris , tian had been in error in overruling the defensive allegation put in by the parish ioners, to the effect that the rate was a nullity, as it had been made against the wishes of the majority of the vestry, and had been made by perfons who had no authority to mite it. The Court Christian, therefore, in proceeding to give judgment to enforce a rate illegal in its formation, h had clearly exceeded its jurisdiction, and prohibition must be awarded. This disposed of the first point in the cases Then came the second point, which was, that even suppoa. ing the rate to be invalid, still a prohibition ought not to issue, because this was a matter on which the Court Chris tian had exclusive jurisdiction. This Court was thus called upon to state the principle of the proceeding by prohibition. That principle was in itself clear, though the application of it might sometimes be difficult. It was this—if any inferior Court entertained a suit which app peered in the outset on the face of the libel itself, or by any of the subsequent proceedings, to be beyond its juris diction, the Courts of Westminster Hall had the authority, and were bound by duty, to interpose. His Lordship re. ferred to several cases as establishing this proposition. The argument, therefore, that in ecclesiastical matters the Ecclesiastical Courts had alone jurisdiction, and the common Law Courts had none, was founded in error, and r re. .The question then was , w h a t d e f e cts had authorised quired th e C o i t s c f C ommon Law to issue write, of pre. hibition. They must be in every case . of such a nature as to show a want of jurisdiction in a par . t t iculaieCourt to oecide In whatever stage the particular matter brought befo i r ri e .d i jurisdiction was made ma of the proceedings that want of aSub'ect, the Courts of nifest, either by the Crown or ji interfere.j The erroneous Common law were bound to one of these construction of an Act of Parliament was_ cases: the imposition of a tax without lawful authority was another; such a tax must a Churc not only with ou t theh-rate be consid ere d which was made by parish officers, concurrence c: the parishioners, but in defiance of their declared refusal to make the rate. This was not an irregu larity which might be waived or cured, leaving the prin. cipal matter complete in substance, although somewhat informal in circumstances. It was reasons invalid as a ,rh its felt Church-rate. F or these reass their Lordships bound to say th a t t h e C our t below had ex for. cceo the pedl juris diction, and th a t j u d gmen t must now be given tiff in prohibition.

TEA. —The transactions in Free Trade Tea were limited last. week, and chiefly confined to cash parcels, the holders however generally remained firm, and refused to sell ex cepting at prices equal to those established at the last monthly sales, but some parties being desirous to realize were compelled to submit to rather lower rates, and ac cepted 23 31 7 d for small parcels of common Congou for cash, and 2,4 l for Twankay ; )esterday however the trade evinced more desire to purchase, a fair amount of business was trans Acted, prices improved and are no - v equal to those established at the last monthly sales for Congou and Twan kay, the former for cash in large parcels selling at 2s 41d for common, and mid blackish leaf kinds at 2 , bd a 25 5/dp the latter at 2s bd to 23 Wrd per lb ; at these rates many parties were not aisposed Co sell, in consequence of its being i reported th a t G overnment were in possess i on o f important news from Chi na; H yson, I mper i a l , an d G u npowder sold For more freely at th e ratite established at the sales. EVEN ING EDI is prompts not many purchases were made in Tea, in fact the merchants generally are not disposed to sell on these term?. Company's Congou in the middle of lasti week attracted little attent;( n, and prices fell to 2s 34d for cash ; during the last two days, &however, a batter demand has existed, and prices have advanced to 2s IA to 2s 5d for cash, and 2s 63 to 2s 6id with long and short prompts, which in rather higher than last Tuesday. The business doing in the market is chiefly far home consumption : the system which is now pursued of selling principally for cash, tends to check speculation, and prevent needy parties from cam• ing into the market. The over-land Mail is daily ex pected, and is looked for with much anxiety by holders of Tea. At public sale 500 chests imported from New York, and for exportation only, were partly disposed of at fair market rates.

The deliveries of Tea during the past week have amounted to 375,000 lbs; no arrival since we last wrote. To-day there was not much business doing in Free Trade for prompts, but for cash Parcels time was a gond demand, and prices have an upward tendency; common Congou is se lli ng at 2 s 4 4d to 2s 5 1 , an d T wa nkay 2s sid per lb, and a t th ese rates t h ere are man y sellers. In Company's C ongou severa l purc h ases were made, chiefly for money, p arce l s at 2s oid per lb. For auctio n on the Ist Ju ne , 7726 c h ests are declared, 6030 of which consists of Congou. This afternoon a good demand prevailed for Free Trade Tea, and prices closed firmly at 2s 514 for common Con gou for cash, and Twankay 2s 61 to 2s 6id. Company's Congest is held firmly at 2s 6d, with a good many buyers : the stock in London on the Ist instant was 35,472,6 12 lbs, in 1839 at the same time it was 40,380,000 lbs.
