MITTEE. CA',.Ii3RIDGE_ELECTION COM- The Committee assembled at the usual hour yesterday, when Mr. Fossett, a surgeon at Cambridge, was examined— He Lad always been a warm supporter of the Conservative interest, had supported Mr. Sutton at the last election, had canvassed for him on all occasions, and had seen Mr. Sutton several times at the Eagle. He had given oidcrs for refreshments, and distributed 53. tickets amongst the Barnewell Voters. Feels himself responsible for payment if the subscription fund shall turn out insufficient to meet the publican's claims. A publican, named Skinner, was next examined—Some thing less than 20/ have been paid to him by Mr. Bishop for refreshments supplied to Mr. Sutton's electors, but no orders were given to him. The further examination of Skinner was then postponed until Wednesday.

Their practical gain is most extraor dinary, seldom below 70, and more frequently above 100 per cent., taking the average of the results of every altitude from 1 foot to 100 feet high. This remarkable gain in the art of raising water was effected: hi the simplest manner possible, being merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin ciple Sur Pumps, by whit/046r frietkti artgt leakage was abo, lished, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had been made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years. For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly introduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre dicting that it would prove limited and frail, who are now snivellicg about that their trade would be ruined, because Fountain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable, whe ther used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and they are so economical and invariable in their action, that they com monly perform for maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with out the least expense or the slightest variation. Also, so re markably simple, that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car penters, &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully un dertake their fixing and reparation, neither are Fountain Pumps retarded, choked, nor injured by occasionally delivering a few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000 years ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from a well in a pitcher upon her shoulder for. her sweetheart's camels.

CHRONICLE.—Since the arrival of the Reindeer packet, with the Mexican mail, we have received the fol lowing communication : " The agents of the Mexican Government here have communicated to the committee for the South American bondholders that they have received a specie remittance of $31,000 by the packet just arrived, to be applied towards the paymert of the dividonds of the New Mexican Bonds. We are also informed that the certificates issued here in Novembep and December last, payable at the Ctiptom houses of Vera Cruz and Tampico, for the coupons of the new bonds, to the amount of nearly three hundred thou sand dcilliars4 hero duly paid at those Custom-houses, and that a further sum of about three hundred thousand dol lars was to he collected for a similar purpase a the duties became due, in the extent of nearly two millions, payable at those ports. It appears by this that Mexico could have amply paid the dividends due en the Ist of this month, if the above sums had not been appropriated to the payment of the certificates alluded to." Important and Salutary Improvements have been introduced into Life Assurance practice by this Company. The Policies or Contracts of Assurance are Indefeasible and Indisputable. t" The whole Profits of the Mutual or Participating► Branch of AssUrance, are divided amongst. the Assured of that Class, Who are relieved from all responsibility. The Lowest Rates of Premium, the Reduced or Non-parti cipating Rates, are intended for those who prefer an immediate ,saving to prospective accumulations. One-half of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven Years, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions than any other plan which has been suggested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums. Endowments aro granted to Children contingent on their at taining a specified age. Sums asssured may be made Payable to the Assured them selves, at any specified age, or to their heirs or assigns, in the event of the Assured's death before that time.

DOWNING-STREET, APRIL 18, 1840. The Quern has been pleased to appoint the Lieutenant• Governor of the Bahama Islands, Colonel Francis Cockburn, to be Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the said Islands. - YOU are well acquainted with the early efforts of the public press to misrepresent their conduct, to calumniate their charac °ll, and to excite fear and prejudice in the minds of that por tion of the community from which jurors are usually chosen. You are also aware that under sanction of the local authori ties, and Udine the Trial's had taken place, the shops of New- Port were closed, and thanksgivings were offered up in the Churches that certain alleged desi g ns had been frustrated, which Were thus taken for granted, but which were never proved to have bee n entertained. This step, however well intended, or unobjectionable in other respects. was inevitably calculated to Produce strong feelings in the locality, and to increase the ge neral prejudice against the prisoners. As if these things were not enough, a minister of God, who Ought to have been the messenger of peace and charity, seems to have thought it consistent with his sacred duty to make his Pulpit the vehicle for alarming the fears of that class from which the Jury was about to be selected, and far confirming the ex isting prejudice already so deeply rooted and injurious, and shame ! oh, shame to say ! the time chosen for this display was immediately before the Trial ; the spot was that where the Trial was about to take place, and the audience were those who were about to try the Prisoners. Had not a Special Commission been harshly appointed to in terfere with the usual course of law, and had the prisoners been beemitted to remain until the regular Assizes, there is reason to lieve that the alarm would have subsided—that reason would have assumed its power, and that much of the undue prejudice would have passed away ; for already has a Petition been pre sented, signed by a large portion of the inhabitants of Newport, mewing the false impressions under which they at that time laboured, and praying for the pardon of the Prisoners. Add to these circumstances that the Lord Chief Justice, wiles* mind was above the local prejudice, delivered h is charge (which was in strict conformity with the evidence) decidedly and indisputably in favour of an acquittal. Have we not then ample reason to question the justice of those verdicts which the Juries returned in the case of the Welsh Martyrs, notwith standing our devotedness to that palladium of our rights? But, ellow-countrymen, we have other and even stronger ground of appeal against the transportation of these men . We ea* authorised, by the solemn decision of six of the Judges of Engla n d, including a majority of the Special Comm asion, Which, in this case, ought to be decisive—we have their irre *lstide and positive authority, after mature deliberatioin, for bring that the trials were contrary to the law of the land — - the convictions were illegal, and that the whole of the V ef*l4in g s were essentially null and void from the beginning. ,_ see other Judges, who, with the six , form a majority of the ... ""le. Bench,. also decided that the Crown had not complied with the law ; but the three alleged that the prisoners had not objected at: the right time. Now we respectfully ask, is it laic ; and. just that the prisoners should suffer punishment under,a conviction essentially bad, for not knoling the precise moment at which their objection should be tilted, when the Judges themselves are at issue with each other, and even up to the present time have allowed the question to remain unsettled and in doubt ? If we turn to the records of the trial, we find that when thee Counsel for the defence first attempted to urge the objec tion, he was stopped by the Attorney-General, on the ground not that lie was too late, but that he was too soon—that the proper time for urging it had not then arrived, which dictum of the Attorney-General was assented to and ruled by the pre siding Judges. These, Fellow -countrymen, we submit are reasons wich im- Peratively call for the pardon of these men; it is for you to determine whether, with persevering and effective energy, you 101 1 continue your exertions until the authority of the law be estebliehesi, and the prisoners, as an act of justice, be restored to their ,families. We are well aware that you have done much—we know that petitions to the Queen, the Lords, and the Commons, 'red by at Last six hundred thousand persons, have already been presented, and we had hopes that during the l°yful ceremony of the marriage of our Queen, she would have been advised to listen to the prayers of her people ; she would doubtless have been plea.sed,had such advice been given, to have dried up the tease of the wives and children of the un f'appy prisoners —to have established the sovereignty of the saws of the realm, and to have made her wedding-day the day of liberty to those whom the law had not condemned. Alas, it has not bee n so; our hope s are blighted, the law has not been vindicated, the prayers of the people have not been re.. Illni:eted, and justice and mercy haye not prevailed. __ What, then, Fellow-countrymen, can we suggest, or what ` 4ll -you de? The cause of these Martyrs demands your atten tion, and we solemnly appeal to you on their behalf. We are 'lnured that Lord John Russell has declared, " they were scot away to get rid of the excitement in their favour." Shall the exeiternent" cease whilst they are suffering in defiance of the law? Shall it cease before the law is vindicated? We are s ure that your ready am'. decided answer will be, No ! Justice Williams,lt be established ; the ;ow must be vindicated, and Frost, " and Jones must be recalled! 1 ' then, Fellow-countrymen, it be your determination to secure,i these objects, it is necessary that unanimity should pre a " and that system and arrangement should mark every tallow' proceeding. We, therefore, respectfully suggest the de ng recommendations for your cahn and deliberate consi rrinn, and if you approve of them, we feel assured that you ai l nstautly and universa"y adopt them : 'et Associations be formed in every village, town, and o hamlet.

The Chain-pump in action is direct and simple ; but by friction and leakage very defective and dreadfully uncertain, and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a limited sliding principle. 2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant idea ; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral principle. 3d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt. This is the root and principle of all Piston and Cylinder Pumps, under every name and modification. All Pumps upon this plan arc of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed must they be who expect the contrary, because mostly above two-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their friction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines. Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the last 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle. 4th►, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing stocks of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor less than the Pump made absolute, because without any dis coverable defect or imperfection, it possesses every essential property for the purpose intended in the highest degree. AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE. Dr. Birkbeck. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Lon don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect Hydraulic Machine. The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq., F.L. S., published a work in 1830, and therein makes a rash, false, foul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited, and although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages in some cases, it cannot he used for great elevations. Never theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as below one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known that flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability. The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly gone, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity'when their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost indestructable. CASES SUFFICIENT. Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,000/., have net cost 21 per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them, from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the public roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth. A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse power), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet. N.B. It is the packing that scrapes up the water in the old Pump that wears out. And it is the connector that rolls up the water in the New Pump that wears out. Dark the next two eases, both Pumps having done the same work. A Single-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Horton's, dyers, Norwich (manual power). Here the connectors of the New Pump last four .t►mes as long as did the packing of the old Pump it superseded. A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers, Norwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three months, now the connectors of their new pump last above six teen months. This noble machine has not cost Bs. a year for connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW NUN CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE. The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in ISA be tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor varied in effect. The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty. EFFECT. At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam power, the rolling principle beat the sliding principle, upon an average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 2.0, 30, 45, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and sea, certify similar results. But, whereas there are still many novices striving bard to perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pomp in pre ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense, pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with out friction, herefore, let us at once come to deeds to try the ques tion. and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough." CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINST TIME. Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a man of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with out stopping Mug imperial barrels of water five feet high, three barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument. The number of seconds required with one pump less than with the other, will be its gain in time and labour. The competitors should find the pumps and the public the pipes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew as much about raising water as sucking monkeys. Well, after all the stupid, lying, and even destructive oppo sition (Nenmarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering of 6,000 imperial gallons of water per minute. • And now to congratulate all nations upon the complete suc cess of an invention of _boundless and undying utility, which nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifyintr To the World's Obedient Servant and Instructor, W. SHALDERS. See Mechanics' Magazine, March 19, 1836 ; Sun Paper, Sept. 21, 1838; and Norwich Mercury, June 28, 1839. Bank Place Norwich, March 26, 1840. P:S.—No work is worse done than that of raising water. Respecting force and resistance both town and country Pump-makers seem most gloriously ignorant. I inquired of two men pumping, between London-bridge and the Tunnel, how long it took them to fill their six-barrel water cart, lift thirteen feet ?—Answer : About seven minutes, quick working. With a No. Six New Plan they could have done the like work in seventy seconds. One Fountain Pump would about equal all the Ihreo Cockney built Friction Pumps at the Queen's Barracks, Norwich. NY. S.

' that theocracy, or any government which takes for its basis the laws and precepts of the Bible, does not appear to be the best of all possible Governments. But if these objectors were to read the Bible in order to know the truth, they would find that when, in the phrase of Scripture, the Lord was with the Judge, and they lived according to the pre cepts of morality contained in the Divine code, tlweroviderice of God was with thorn; and thus -.hey were delivdiWout of the hands of their enemies all the days of the Judge. But these deliverinel were but temporary relief, for the people became anarchist's.' Truly so; but it should be remembered that when this was the ease they had forsaken the worship of God, and had become, like these writers, worshippers of an imaginary pt:antom, which they called Nature; every man doing that which was right in his own oyes. Those who explain this holy book, not only assert, but prove, that the Bible is an unerring rule of faith and manners." When they look at the visible creation, they are constrained to believe that it could not create itself; and therefore they admire those expiessions in this holy book," which assert the eternal Power and Godhead of the Creator. The heavens de clare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy work ; and thus they believe that the Bible is an unerring rule of faith, that it declares the existence of God the Creator. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ; and that " Nature," the god of these calumniators of the record of poetry etir,3o:pite)s r. i truth, is but the servant of God : I will affect the heavens, and the heavens shall affect the earth, and the earth shall affect the corn and wine, and the corn and wine shall affect Israel, That the Bible is also ' an unerring says the sacred writer. rule of manners,' is so obvious, that I need not refer the reader, nor can I fully, unless I transcribe t a great part of this " holy book."

This was the most prosperous " opening day" known at a Craven Meeting for four or five years • the weather w as de lightful, the co m p an y numerous and fashionable, and the sport of more than average quaetity and goodness ; its results, how ever, were not produettre of any serious effect upon the Derby betting. Thcon's victory having been over horses of iuoderate pretensions, whilst Ottoman's defeat only served to confirm the unfavourable impression which has been shown for some Cue past by the quotations from Tattersall's. The usual list of ar rivals in our next. This announcement is more formal and detailed than the notice which we gave on the same subject in our City article of the 20 th instant, and we th ere f ore i nsert i t; but our opidten on the merits of the Mexican conversion has been give!) freely, and the result fully justifies the remarks which we made upon 'the unsatisfactory manner in which the decree was framed. It should have made some specific provision in the first instance, either that the Coupons of The new bonds were to be exchanged for Cus tom warrants, and receivable for duties at Tampico and Vera Cruz, or that the one-sixth part of the duties were to be regularly remitted in cash to London. Tile decree, however, does neither, but makes a half-and-half sort of ag,reemeilt, comprehending both, and still not absolutely or clearly fixing either mode of payment. Then although two years' arrears of interest had accumulated before the Decree of Conversion was ratified, no provision was made for their liquidation, but all was left open to chance, to be settled under the decree. The conse quence is, that the transaction has become complex and unsatisfactory. A large amount of coupons has been exchanged for Custom warrants, and duly re ceived at the Custom-houses in terms of the contract. More documents of the same character are expected. and the duties collected in cash are thus retained, and a r‘-- mittance of only 1/31,000 is sent to this country to pay the half-yearly dividends due on the Ist inst., which may be computed at $50,000. If the Custom duties of Mexico be worth $9,000,000 annually the 1-6th part would pro duce $1,500 000, giving, as we have formerly noticed, a sinking fund of $500,000 annually, to be appropriated to the extinction of the two years' arrears, and thus allow ing the dividends to be paid here, half-yearly, in hard cash. The difficulty as to the two years' arrears must have been foreseen, and should, therefore, have been attended to when the decree of conversion was ratified, but it is still a matter of practicable arrangement, and if cart ied through could not fail of giving general satisfac tion to the bondholders. We have formerly advocated the adoption of an arrangement of this nature in regard to these arrears, and understand that the committee intended to recommend something of the kind for the consideration of the Mexican authorities. TIM E S.--The Joint-stock Banks in London connected with the Australian colonies arc likely to encounter some rivalry on the spot, as it appears that even in the infant settlement of Port Philip a project of the same kind has been started, and if the letters received to-day thence are to be credited, the shares have reached a premium of cent. per cent. in a short time after bringing out. It is to be inferred, of course, that a large proportion of these colo nists must consist of stock-jobbers, who have become dis contented from some cause or other with the mother country. The letters referred to arc dated October 14. The proposed Bank consists of 2,000 shares of 401. each, and was to commence immediately under the designation of the " Port Philip Bank." • HERALD —So little is known of the commerce of Persia and the nature of its trading relations with this country and Europe in general, that the following detail's, although not referring to very recent dates, may chance to be acceptaLle. For some years past, indeed, the corn. mercial exchanges between Persia and Europe have come of incrglasing consideration. In 1837, according to calculations founded on the produce of the receipts of the eustom.homet t as farmed out, the average annual value of the trade carried on by the northern provinces was esti mated for Imports. £Boo,ooo Exp 480,000 In Persia Wcustoms are farmed out by the year, and by province; thus, in 1837 the customs of the province of Adtkbaitljan were farmed at 80,000 tomauns, or about 47,3*, the kiftdon being equal to I Is., less about one halfpenny. `l4c Russian products imported by the Ar menian front4and by the south side of the Caspian Sea, in the vicinity of Recht, arc not included by the above statement. The traffic by way of Armenia, in 1836, is thus stated :=-1- 4 Importation £196,000 Exportation 87,000 Of the tradgby way of Reck vo approximate estimate existed. Ir wa suspected, however, that these various amounts were -far from representing the real amount of Persian 'foreign trade, as the custom-house farmers were 'n' crested in unelcrstating the returns, for fear that the terms of their annual lease should be raised upon them. Sugar, which is an article of large consumption in Persia, is principally supplied from this country. There is a small consumption in Persia for green leather for belts, hut the article should be sent in small parcels only, until the use becomes more general. Porcelain and glass are exclusively furnished from Russia. Cutlery and steel goods are supplied from this country. For jewellery, or ornamental wares, or perfumery, there is little or no demand. O. another occasion some further particulars will be given respecting the products which Persia furnishes for a return comnrerce, with the modes by which trade is car ried on and may perhaps be improved. The details hero given are deriveel from good sources, and with what may be added hereafter, may prove both useful and Interesting. SUN.—The rates for bills of exchange on the princi pal Continental cities this afternoon were still low. On Paris the quotation was 25 52j to 55, on Amsterdam 12 to a , and on Hamburgh 13 8i to 9. It was reported on 'Change this afternoon that an extraordinary express had arrived from Paris, with news of the arrival of an Ambassador from the Court of Naples to this country, charged with instructions for effecting an amicable settlement of all existing differences. Consols closed steadily at 90i for Money, and 91 for time. Exchequer Bills were at 23 pretn. ; East India Stock at 250 to and the other Stocks the sante as in the morning. The Forergn Securities closed heavily. Spanish Consols at 2Si ; Portuguese New Five per Cents. at :351 ; Mexican at 28 ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 53.

M T--- JOHN THORQ.OOOD. TO THE EDITOi? OF THE SUN. Sig,--I send you the following extract front a letter I received this morning from John Thorogood " Cheltustotd Jail, April 18. " Dear Sir,—T write you a line, merely to inform you that the Churchwardens called on me to-d®y in this jail, for the rate made last year since my imprisonment. I tol4 them I should not pay it. Mr. Gipp said he would read over to me the amount of the rate, according to the assess_ *tient. I said, " You can do as you like about that." He read it over from a small slip of pper, and said, " Yea decline paying it ?" I answered, "4 do." I then turned round, opened the door, and walked out. I have since learnt they called upon my wife, who could net keep her temper, and ordered them out of the house, or the would turn them out. Coming here,' she said, ' asking me for a rate after having robbed :no of my husband for fifteen months, for a peltry ss. 6d.' I feel sorry they have in sulted her—myself I don't mind." I do not remember that the history of religious persecu tion furnishes a more genuine specimen of fiery z4al. I beg your readers to carry their imagination to the pea of this man, who has for fifteen months. suffered imprisonment for defect of obedience to the demands of the Church let then► see him strong in his principles and the support of a good conscience, but with his spirit broken and his health enfeebled, and then picture the salitude of his prison life invaded by the Churchwarden of his parish_4ll, o , author of his sufferings—who comes not to comfort him, but to manifest the spirit of his Church, by advancing new claims, and experimenting on the strength which may re main to him after fifteen months' confinement. I am not aware of any parallel to this but in the his tory of the Inquisition, where an official was appointed to superintend the infliction of torture, and as the surgeon announced the degrees of diminished strength, dc.alandod at each successive stage the required recantation. Even there some consideration was afforded, and the limbs of the recusant were loosened from the torture before the re newed demand was made; but here the official enters the gaol to put his question, prepares for a detainer to be lodged at the gate, and reminds his victim of the fate of Mr. Jones of Llanon. The wantonness of the insult ap pears, too, when we remember that, as it was certain Thorogood would not pay a Church -rate, it could be reco vered only by summoning before the Magistrates a man who is closely imprisoned, or citing him in gaol for neglect ing its previous citations. - Be good enough to expoae this enormity, and oblige Sir, your obedient servant, Bungay, April 20. - JOHN CHILDS. TO THL REPRESEN TA TIVE PEERS OF SCOTLAND. "My Lords—l cannot avoid expressing my asto nishment that the declaration recently made by the Bishop of Exeter, when a discussion took place in the House of Lords relative to the Reserved Land appro priated by the State for the support of a Protestant Clergy in the Canadas—that He could not call the Church of Scotland a Church '—has not excited some public manifestation of displeasure on the part of your Lordships,' for a more unwarrantable and unguarded speech was hardly ever delivered. Indeed, it is an in sult to the people of Scotland, which your Lordships ought to have resented ; and I regret that you have suffered, with impunity, the clergy of your native CQ1111• try to be so unjustly calumniated. That the Presbyterian clergy of the Church of Scotland have as just a claim as the Episcopalian cletgy of the Church of England to a share of the reserved lands, surely none but tL most bigoted will deny t. for in the United Kingdom they are both equally recognised as Established Churches ; and there is not the least doubt, when the Act of 1791 took place, that the Go vernment of that day never for a moment contemplated conferring on one Church the reserved lands in Canada, to the exclusion of the other. Indeed, Lord Harrovvhy has stated that Mr. Pitt, who was the instigator of she Act, declared that such was never his intention. 0 Both Churches are, or ought to be t equally under the protecti on o f P ar li an.ent; and I am confident that every prudent and discreet man must view the conduct of the Bishop of Exeter as highly reprehensible, for de:- (daring in his legislatorial capacity, that He could not call the Chui cli of Scotland a Church.'
