" Happy, by the blessing of God, under your benign government, we look to your Majesty as the sole fountain of honour within this realm ; and we therefore denounce, as arrogant and audacious, the recent act of a foreign priest and potentate, who, in defiance of your Majesty's prerogative, has presumed to parcel out your dominions into provinces and dioceses, fill them with his nominees, and invest the owners thereof with territorial titles--as sailing thus the independence achieved by our forefathers at the glorious Reformation, and aspiring at the ezAablith ment of a power not permitted even in the darkest periods of the middle noes_ arnestly beseech your Majesty to resist this in iggression ; and we render our hearty assurance ng shall be wanting on our part to give effect to sty's determination. •• But we desire also humbly to represent to your Ma je,ty our conviction, confirmed by the recent testimony o several bishops of our Church, that the Court of Rome would never have attempted such an act of aggression had not encouragement been held out to that encroaching power by many of the clergy of our own Church, who have tor several years past s,hown a desire to assimilate the d trines and services of the Church of England to those the Roman communion. While we would cheerfully c( tend for the principles of the Reformation against all of enemies, we have to lament that our most darn are those of our own household ; and hence it is to little purpose to repel the aggr eigncr, unless those principles an tempted him to such aggressions versally repudiated e publicly and uni e are conscious that the evils to which iply . seated, and have been ti r.4rowth of a ienee we entertain no ex in, the to the nec I visibl, ervances, i ectation that they humbly entreat YOU of your Royal prerogative, to ition of the primates and bishops of the y of using an fit and lawful mea the pre a rise of 3 pi place e " Withthe supplies of gold now stem of Lo reason to doubt the existence of many of the nt Church t from w it was cleansed by the arm is naturally created by the appa- tate of amous qt me feel d ly cot shortly a f the IT been dealt with by ti " In the present state of things it is a matter of abso. lute necessity to hare only one legal tender. If a twelve month ago a standard napoleon was worth twenty standard francs, it will now be worth no more than 19 francs and 40 centimes, that being the actual depreciation of gold compared with silver, or, as some would rather put it, the appreciation of silver compared with gold. Even if the present comparative values should continue, French five franc pieces will probably be exported to Germany, and even to America; but should the demand for silver increase, it will be found impossible to sustain the nominal value of the gold twenty-franc piece in the French cur rency. In fact, the public will make the change by . universally tendering the depreciated metal in payment of taxes and other debts. It becomes, then, a cinestion which metal shall give way to the other. In France there is hardly a question. The franc is part of the nation, and the gold currency has never been considerable. Perhaps, too, it is the interest of the government to keep up the currency, its revenue being three times the interest of its debt. Were silver to be made the only legal tender, 'it amount of the revenue anol of the debt, 'at. in t he value of silver would be a virtual lvernment." £1,000,000 a yeaiic;iileg: We, in this country, are situated at the present moment as it is proposed that France should be ; that is, that we have virtually only one legal tender. We have adopted, however, the metal, gold, which is in a course of depreciation, as our legal tender, and have measured it in the auxiliary metal, silver, for which, it is obvious, that we shall never be per mitted to exchange it with foreign countries. We shall, in fact, as depreciation goes on, have to pay more gold for our grain and other imports, for du ties, charges, &c., than we are now doing, whilst all existing money contracts, amongst ourselves and with the State, we shall have a right to discharge in a metal of diminished value. One natural result of our retention of gold as our standard would be here, as the Times very justly states, would be the case in France. that, "it would soon be necessary to raise the nominal rates oftaxes." He proceeds " It is imt ible, however, to retain the double lender, and there can be no doubt that the silver will remain. Whether there will still remain a gold coinage, and what place it will occupy in the circulation, it is not easy to say. In this country it is usual to say that the sovereign is the only true coin, and that shillings and pence are only tokens. Ours, however, will soon be the only nation in the world in which gold is the legal tender; and, per haps, the only nation with a gold currency." In a further passage of his article, the Times gives up the whole principle contended for by the buliionists, and virtually adopts the views of the currency reformers, who contend for a symbolic money fixed in value by the pound of taxation. He says, after noticing the increased demand for silver, by its adoption as the sole legal tender of the mercantile countries of the world : During in from Cali ,orma, wnarever Increases the demand for silver must ag gravate the difficulty of combining a gold and silver coin age on any conditions whatever, except that of making the silver coin a mere token. Even in this country the mint can no longer afford to issue shillings at their former weight of metal. As the objections to a gold coinage in crease, and as it becomes excluded from other countries, the metal must become cheaper and cheaper, and it is difficult to see how it shall not be eventually depreciated, not only as compared with silver, but also as interchange able with the necessaries and chief comforts of life." After this admission, we ask of such doctors as the Economist and the Manchester Guardian their Of stion, " What is a pound ?" course, we may he told that it is 123 grail what ? Of itself ! But we remind them that it is Is that the true and I no longer worth any grain weight of the metal, It will no commodities. The London Tinteg, of yesterday's date, contains an article cn the subject which, coming from s o i n fl uent i a l a b u lli on i st authority, is highly important. Our contemporary commences by quoting a report given in an evening paper that the French Ministry, looking to the probability of a depreciation of gold in relation to silver, propose to abolish the law making gold, equally with silver, a legal tender; and he proceeds to remark thus upon the proposition : Church, feel tl seen introduced, to take care that Without attemp g to enumerate with par movations to which we allude, we may n which what is termed th pecially holy,—its separation, in some e body of the church by th e Popish ym bolical orna- II of the Church 'ystem, service of united minister an d peop for the repression of all such r compo we wish Carter's !onsidero for good tolics, and rill answer at if they entire:y Lad not in your le earn anon to .e is not fully t ie exerc on a v ,nt (An on our d by, ninet testants, an themselves So atro. pt as the measure of value. for 20 little 20 " tokens." ch 1 in the present stat e o f our cowl. be I we shall not enter at length into an t ns, however, urination of this new but reserve for ourse!ves anotherloccasioni THE f tlip I still set >w I of the Rev.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES. Mr. Baron Alderson arrived by the six o'clock railway train, on Saturday evening, and proceeded direct to the Court-house, in Chapel-street, where the commission was formally opened. The learned judge then adjourned the court until ten o'clock yesterday morning. On Sunday his lordship attended Divine service at St. George's Church. The sermon was preached by the chaplain, son of the High Sheriff. Mr. Baron Alderson arrived in town unaccompanied by any other of the learned judges, Mr. Justice Coleridge being prevented from attending through indisposition, and his place will be supplied by Mr. Justice Talfourd, who presides at the Nisi Prius Court, but, of course, for the trial of criminal cases, the present assize being merely one of general gaol delivery. The calendar contains the names of 111 prisoners, but the cases, generally speaking, will prove dull. Amongst the trials most likely to prove interesting are those of Edward Moran, an officer of the Tibb-street establishment, Man chester, for manslaughter; Mr. Henry Blackhurst, an attorney at Preston, for an alleged forgery of his late wife's will ; Wm. Smith, for manslaughter, by causing the explo sion of a steam-boiler at Mr. Pooley 's works; M Tapley and Sirrell, (the London silversmith,) the one for stealing and the other for feloniously receiving a quantity of jewellery and plate ;" and Gregory, Holland, and Pimlott, for the daring burglary and highway robberies in Hulme. CROWN COURT.—YESTERDAY. Mr. Baron Alderson took his seat in this court at ten o'clock. After the usual preliminaries bad been complied with, the following gentlemen were sworn on THE GRAND JURY. Wm. Brown, Esq., M.P., Liverpool, foreman Robert Andrews, Esq., Rivington. Thomas Ashton, Esq., Middleton. James Thomas Bonnie, Esq., Liverpool. John Bent, Esq., Mayor, Liverpool. Henry Butterworth, Esq., Rochdale. William Carlow, Esq., Walton. Thomas Ainsworth Crook, Esq., Rochdale. Jas. Hilton Ford, Esq., Chester. Joseph Fenton, Esq., Bamfird. Wm.

William Gillibrand Unsworth, Esq., Maghull. James Hibbert Wanklyn, Esq., Manchester. ..rook rates, Esq., Liverpool. Mr. Shuttleworth, clerk of the crown, read the procla mation against vice, profaneness, and immorality. The learned BARON then proceeded to deliver his charge to the grand jury. His lordship said it would not be ne-- cessary for him to detain the grand jury with any obser vations of his own on the calendar, because, although -it contained rather a numerous list of cases, vet there were none of any importance on which it was necessary for him to instruct or attempt to instruct them in the law appli cable to them. They were the ordinary cases of felony, and he (the learned Judge) had had too much experience of grand juries, in this county, to doubt their ability to perform their duties well and properly. There was, how ever, one case to which he thought it necessary to refer, because it was one of thosechargesnownot very frequently made. It was a case of conspiracy, against James Phillips and others, charging them with having, together with several other evil-disposed persons, conspired, combined, and confederated together unlawfully to intimidate and prevent the workmen of Samuel Cowley and others from following their trade, business, and occupation as brick makers, and to damage and destroy the p ro p er t y o f t h e _aarge(.. said Samuel Cowley an d o th ers .

The prisoner was found guilty of a common assault. Sentence deferred. I 1 OUSE-BREAKING. Abraham Naylor, 20, was charged with a burglary in the house of his father-in-law, John Cooper, at Haydock; In consequence of the prosecutor and his son being un willing witnesses, the burglary could not be sustained, and the prisoner was found guilty of larceny only. An attempt was made to establish a previous conviction, but this failed for want of identity, owing to the absence of a witness named Henry James Chard, an officer of Knutsford House of Correction, who did not answer to his name. His Lordship sentenced the prisoner to two years' bard labour, and directed the Clerk of the Crown to write to the Cheshire magistrates, to say that, in his opinion, Chard ought to be discl• - d.

It continued to go on well until the Sunday following, when it began to sink, and died the following day. He also examined the person of the prisoner, and found she had very recently been delivered of a child. The prisoner admitted to the sur geon that she had buried her child in the sandhills, and a female, with whom the prisoner lodged, deposed that she accused her of being in the family way, and asked if she had prepared baby linen • to which the p r i soner rep li e d that she had no t ; th a t the child would come naked into the world, and should go naked out of it. His Lordship, in summing up, observed that if the jury were of opinion that the prisoner placed the child under the sand and covered it up, they must find her guilty of the charge. The jury, after a short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty. Mr. Pollock intimated to his Lordship that there was reason to suppose the prisoner a person of weak mind, and, therefore, it would be necessary she should be con tinued in confinement for some considerable time. His Lordship then proceeded to pass sentence upon the prisoner. He said,—The crime of which she had been con victed was one so near that of murder as to render it exceedingly difficult to say that she was not guilty of it. That she intended to destroy her child no one could doubt, for she had resorted to the horrible practice of burying it alive. He felt, therefore, that he should not be doing his duty if he did not pass the most severe sen tence the law inflicted for such an offence. His Lordship then ordered her to be transported for life. STREET ROBBERY.-UNWILLING WITNESSES. William Tynan, 24, was charged with having robbed John Murray, at Manchester, on the 28th October last, accompanied with violence. Mr. Kay appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. J. Pol lock for the prisoner. Tt appeared from the statement of the counsel, that, on the night in question, the prosecutor was on his way home, he having called at several public-houses; but, on leaving a spirit-vaults in Oldham-road, he was knocked down in a state of insensibility, and robbed. Before the magistrates, the prosecutor and another witness swore that it was the prisoner who inflicted the outrage ; but, in Court, both declined to swear to the identity, on which the prisoner was acquitted. Mr. Kay applied for the committal of the witnesses his lordship declined to order them into custody, observ ing that the grand jury was then sitting, and they might prefer a bill if they thought proper. nand for Sugar, ( a of Grain and Flo, _ -Lu r;rigiand were p ro In Prance the import,: of ‘ ,- 0 00 - .miler, of this year, were _3p7riod, In during same ' - a On 31st The Te ac are sa"-. seeding to a - fair extent.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE - REV . PANTOMIME.—The " Visions Aeriennes," which was to have been produced last night at the Theatre Royal, was unavoidably postponed owing to the machinery, which is very complicated and stupendous, not having arrived in time. It is proposed, however, to place the piece on the stage this evening. It is predicted that the Privy Council of next Thursday will determine on a further prorogation of Parliament until the first week in February—nearly two months from the present time ! With every desire to act with fairness towards the Ministry, we must admit that this resolve, if taken, will afford great reason for suspecting the truth and sincerity of Lord John Russell's intentions. Dr. Cumming made a long speech at the Oxford meet ing of the Bible Society on Wednesday, and most of the speakers, among whom was the Rev. J. Jordan, recog nised the doctor as a Christian brother. Much uproar took place in consequence, and during Dr. Cumming's address, which was a very able one, many interruptions took place. Though a Scotchman, he announced himself as` belonging to a church which was one with the Church of England in all the essentials of the Christian faith. CHRISTMAS PASTIMES.—As Christmas a pproaches with rapid strides, Mr. Colles's amusing novelties become more and more in demand every day. Those who 'wish to amuse their families and friends during the winter eve nings should make Mr. C. an early call, as his stock of first-rate deceptions is sometimes very low, and those wishing to procure them are obliged to order. With the exception of the bon-bon boxes and the vase of ink trick, we understand all his best tricks may now be had. Those, likewise, who wish to engage Mr. C. for their evening parties should make an early application, as although, we believe, he bas attended two parties on the same evening, we understand. that it is not his intention to do so this winter, and of course at the approaching season of mirth and gladness there is no doubt but tliat his services will full requisition. learned CONSPIRACY.---In the case of Phillips others, charged with conspiracy.

They left about eleven o'clock, and the house was locke but, at three o'cloc- in the morning, the prosecutor was woke by a noise. He got up, and found his house had been entered through the window.. Shortly after, a po liceman came to the house with a jug belonging to the prosecutor. This officer stated that he saw the prisoner and Pi mlott with the jug in the street. When they saw him, they put the jug down in the street, knocked it over,. and ran away. Pimlott was apprehended the same morn ing at Taylor's house, but Taylor himself escaped, and was not taken into custody. The prisoner was fohnd guilty, and sentenced to six months imprisonment and hard labour. ROBBERY, WITH VIOLENCE. John Diggles, aged 22, Thomas Exton, 24, and Andrew M'Anulty, 18, were indicted for having robbed Thomas Whitehouse of 125., at Manchester, on the 3rd September last. Mr. J. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr, Monk for Exton and M'Auulty ; Diggles defended himself. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 2d Sept., the prosecutor arrived in Manchester, from Huddersfield, on his way to his home at Cheadle, in Cheshire. He remained all night in Manchester, and next mnrning went to several public-houses, at one of which he met the pri soners, and continued drinking with them until eight o'clock in the evening. Soon after the prosecutor set off on his way home. He was followed by the three prisoners, and when they reached a field on the Chester road, the prosecutor was dragged into the field, and beaten into a state of insensibility. About two hours after the prose cutor was found and removed to the infirmary, where he lay very ill for some days. It was found that the pocket of the prosecutor had been turned inside out, and his money stolen. The Jury, after a short retirement, found all the pri soners guilty, but recommended M'Anulty to mercy, on the ground that he had not used violence. His Lordship said it was clear• some distinction should be made in the punishment of WAnulty, but for a man to stand by whilst two others made such an attack was a serious mattter. The sentence was deferred. TIIE MINT CASES Peter Toole, 42, was placed at the bar charged with ut tering a base half-crown, at Manchester, after a previous conviction. He was also arraigned on another indictment charging him siwple uttering, to both of which he pleaded guilty. His Lordship condemned the practice of preferring two indictments in such a case. Mr. Cobbett said it was done from motives of economy. There might arise some difficulty in proving the previous conviction. His Lordship said such a practice should not have his countenance. James Henry Smith, 41, also pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging him with having had two moulds in his possession for making counterfeit shillings and sixpences. In both cases sentence was deferred. ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT SOUTHPORT. Ann Ball, aged 30 years, was charged with having placed her infant illegitimate child,• at Southport, on the 24th day of July last, in a sandhill, with intent. by so doing, to commit the crime of murder. Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution : the prisoner was undefended. The facts of the case were as follow :- 4t appeared, frQoa the evidence, that ou the clay men• ,de by his of his apprehen been t £30,000 out, whiCh never could be met. He wished to Je allowed to state how these bills taken ur consequence of an interruption by Mr. Wilkins, The Judge _made some observations- relative to the on of the case. He considered that, morally peaking, as well as legally, a person who should commit orgery with the intention of taking up the bill before it was due, was guilty.

John Callaghan was also indicted as a receiver, as well as having aided and abetted in the robbery. Mr. Blair appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Atkinson for the prisoners. On the night of the 22nd September last, about half-past eleven:o'clock, the prosecutor, Mr. Webb, was going along Deansgate, when he was accosted by the female prisoner, whom he accompanied into an entry. While there he felt a hand in. his pockets, and presently the woman coughed in a peculiar manner, upon which two men came up and attacked the prosecutor, robbing him of his watch, eleven shillings, and his hat. The pro secutor, who is a young man, a draper's assistant, in reply to a question put by Mr. Atkinson, admitted that, on the evening in question, he had had a bottle of ginger beer with two pennyworth of gin in it ; during the day he might have had half a dozen glasses of ale ; was not parti cularly sober unless he abstained altogether, which ho occasionally did. Rosannah Cleary, living in Hardman-street, Manches ter, identified Carr and Giblin as the men who attacked Mr. Webb in Thompson -street ; she also saw Callaghan with prosecutor's hat, which he took into the female pri soner's lodgings, which was next door to the house in which he (Callaghan) lived. From the learned counsel's cross-examination of this witness, it transpired that she was formerly " an unfortunate woman," and had been tried on a charge of stealing nine sovereigns from a gen tleman, but was acquitted : would not swear as to the precise number of times she had been imprisoned ; would not swear it was not six times. .the was questioned at considerable length, and with great tact, by Callaghan, with a view to show that the witness herself had taken up the prosecutor's hat.
