ttt t;ti.ipi was eipremly eon ued y statute.
Mr. Justice Coleridge asked If the 31 commissioners had
ever, in point of fact, been appointed to revise the canon
law
Mr. Baddeley believed not. The ecclesiastical law, he was
contending, was not altered ; and, looking at the statute, at
its history, and the circumstances of the time, there was
nothing ill the word " coufirm," as therein used, which
should lead to the inference that it was intended it should
be construed differently to what it had been before is
the canon law ; and all that prevailed below*
as to the duties of the metropolitan, in lOW*
to confirmation, so far from being repealed' by the 'etietnag
of Henry VIII., was made, if poasible, stronger.
The act of confirmation, therefore, he contended, remained
a judicial set, and must be so treated. From all that ap-
peared to the contrary, it was intended that the cot firmation
should remain what it had previously been, &judicial act is
which the archbishop should inquire and adjudicate es to
the fitness of the party elected. Confirmation had precisely
the same meaning in the act of Henry VIII. that it had in
the statute of Henry V. The archbishop in both enactments
was treated as the pester of the church, and in his
character as pastor, it was his duty to inquire into the piety,
learning, and conduct of these who were to officiate as
bishops under him. He would also submit, that if, by the
ancient canons of the church and the general rule of law
which prevailed antecedent to the Reformation, from Magna
Charts downwards, it was always understood that the right
of confirming was an inherent right of the archbishops of
this realm, and if their functions were in this respect com-
plete, and further if those rights were afterwards continued,
except as regarded the interference of the see of Rome, and
the rights and privileges of the clergy were confirmed to
Viem, that would furnish to the court a sufficient rule of
construction of the statute in question to justify the making
of the rule now applied fur absolute.
Mr. Justice Erie asked whether there was not a posited in
our history in which the King claimed to appoint a bishop
without the interference of the archbishop.
Mr. Baddeley was not aware of any such case.
Mr. Justice Erie spoke of a period shortly after the con-
quest.
Mr. Baddeley proceeded te refer to the several asta &par.,
liament in which the rights of the clergy were confirmed,
from time, to time by various statutes, from the
reign of John, and contended that this was sufficient, in
a ease in which a word of doubtful meaning occurred,
to justify the court in putting a conetructies
upon It in accordance with those several statutes. There
could be no doubt that when the act of Henry VIII. passed,
the !Damp atoll did esercise the right in tne mode which
he (Mr Baddeley) contended. Now if the statute was to be
construes in the way the other side advocated, away went
all the authority of the vicar-general's court.
Lord Denizen asked whether the learned counsel thought
he could finish his argument in a short time.
Mr. Baddeley was afraid not.
Lord Denman then thought it would be better to adjourn
until to morrow.
The court then adjourned at half-past four o'clock until
to-morrow.

FAILEHLII, Jon. 25.-Of Wheat, best whits end old red
made 51i. per qr., or 141. 10.. per load ; second quality, 131.
10s. ; poor, 121. to 131. per load. Barley was plentiful, yet,
the demand being good, the best malting would not be had
any lower; fine heavy made 345. perqr. ; good ditto, 325. per
qr. ; common, 30s. Malt was not much asked for, prices
from 71. to fts. per bushel. Oats were rather scarce, prices
remaining u before, the top prices 261. per qr. ; good feed,
224. to 24.. per qr. Beans, scarce, but no dearer. Peas
were Is. per qr. higher. Winter and spring tales, from 7s.
to 85. 6d. per bushel.
HADLEIOII, Jan. 24.-Although we have net to report so
large a supply as we have generally at this season, yet it was
ample, especially of Wheat, for prevent wants ; our millers
being nearly the only buyers; the marker was dull, and ls.
to 2s. per qr. lower. The finest malting Barley maintained
late prices, but the wretched state of the malt market caused
a dull trade in that article. Beans and Peas dull and lower.
HULL, Jan. 25.-We have bad another week of great
dulness in the Corn trade, and all articles may be purchased
on easier terms. The supply from farmers in all quarters is
more than adequate for the consumptive demand, and the
condition generally preventing speculation, makes business
exceedingly lifeless ; any attempt to sell from granary only
further depresses the trade. The condition of our to-day's
supply of Wheat from the farmers was decidedly inferior to
last week, and such not good to sell at a decline of 2e. to
3s. per quarter, while the best runs were taken by
our local millers at about le. to 2s. per quarter wider
the current rates of last week; the transactions in
foreign
.grain are quite in retail, at a like reduction.
Barley is mere saleable at full last week's rates. More in.
quiry for Beane, and Peas also meet more atteution. Oats
are neglected, though offered on lower terms. Linseed con-
tinues to arrive freely, but the market is firm • cakes may
be bought the turn in favour of the bu} er. Ripeeeed quite
nominal.
paßape Cakes ealeal‘le at ourquntations More inquiry
for Guano. Less business ring in Rye Meal, but at late
prices. The weather has been varied, but, en the whole,
not so severe as in some other parts, nor what
might be looked for at this period of the year.
The following are the present prices of grain: English
Wheat, per qr., red, 60s. to 625. ; new, 50s. to 521. ; white,
625, to 56e. ; new, 621. to 565. ; Dantzie. 695. to 60s.
Lower Baltic and lambus, 60s. to 645. Barley, malting,
295. to 31s. ; grinding, 275. to 28e. Oats, Danish, 17s. to
20s. ; Russian, 19e. to 21e. Beane, 40s. to 425. ; foreign,
35e. to 38e. Peu, white and yellow, 40s. to 45e. Linseed,
crushing, 40s. to 475. • feeding, 48s. Rapeseed, per 10 qrs.,
261. 10s. to 271. LiaseedCakes,EogliaNper ton,lll. ' • foreign,
91. to 91. 101.; Rape Cakes, 115 e. Bones, 925. 6d. to 955.
Guano, 71. 10s. to 101. Imports from the Bth of Jan. to the
14th Jan. inclusive : Wheat, coastwise, 1,720 qrs. Barley,
coastwise, 60; foreign, 476. Beans, coastwise, 10; foreign,
33. Linseed, foreign, 14,670. Rapeseed, foreign, 1,550.
Linseed rakes, foreign, 132. Bones, foreign, 12.
Intermix, Jan. 25.-The supply of Wheat is to-day small
for the season; fine qualities command nearly late rates,
but damp and inferior are le. to 2e. per qr. lower. Barley
of fine quality fetches Is. per qr. more money ; secondary
descriptions sell freely at late rates ; the supply of both qua-
lities barely equal to the =haters' wants. But few Beans
and Peas on offer.

LEEDS, Jan. 25.-We have a good arrival of grain this
week; the trade continues very heavy, bat in Wheat we Rote
no material alteration from Friday. Barley is held firmly.
Oats and Shelling, as well as Beans' steady. Wheat, 545. ;
Barley, 345. Bd. ; Oats, 23e. 7d. ; Beans, 40s. Id. ; Peas,
70c-Arrivals this week : Wheat, 10,678 ; Oats, 662 ;
Barley, 2,315; Beans, 555 ; Malt, 173 ; Rapeseed, 135 ;
Linseed, 601.
LEIORTON BUZZARD, Jan. 25.-At this day's market
Wheat was again rather lower in value, but not so much
offering as of late. Barley 82m, and, in some instances, Is.
per qr. more money was obtained. Beans and Peas the
mine u last week. Wheat, per load of 6 bush., 275. to 325. ;
Barley, per qr. imp., 28s. to 325.; Beans, old, 30s. to 3242.,
per 6 bush. ; and new, 225. 6d. to 255. per ditto ; Peas, 28s.
to 30s.
Lewes, Jan. 25.-A small supply of Wheat, which was
cleared at the quotations. Barley, Bee a, Peas, and Oats
sold freely.-White Wheat, 121. 15s. to 131. ; red, 111. 101.
to 121. ; Oats, 19s. to 21e. ; Beans, 365. to 395. ; Barley,
30s. to 33e. ; Peas, 365. to 375.
LIVERPOOL, Jan. 25.-Although the wind still blows from
the east, several more vessels have worked intothis port since
Friday, which, with those in previously, coastwise, from
Ireland, and abroad, contain for the week a moderate supply
of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, as specified below. In conse•
quence of the impediment to spring tillage, occasioned by
the continuance of (not, thrashing in most parts of the coun-
try is stated to have become more general, and deliveries of
grain from the farmers more liberal than of late; which,
competing with imported produce, meet us on relatively
lower terms in the manufacturing districts, as well as other
parts of the interior, thereby limiting our intercourse in
those directions for the present, and imparting to this
day's market a very indifferent aspect.-Wheat of all de-
scriptions, being offered ld. to 2d. per 701 b. cheaper
with little effixt, we reduce our quotations of
this day week in that ratio: American Flour, how-
ever, from the limited stock of choice brands remaining
here, was held at late prices, but was taken sparingly, and
home-made as well as Irish mat a dull sale, at a decline of
2s. per sack. Malting Barley, commanding much less at-
tention than heretofore, was ls. per qr. lower; grinding
samples, at the same time, remaining unvaried. Malt dull,
and the tarn cheaper. Beans of all denominations, exciting
little notice, receded Is. to 2s. per qr. The Oat trade being
also languid, all kinds were rather depressed in value ; and
Oatmeal was in slow request at Friday's abatement. Indian
Corn and Corn Meal, although still in moderate demand, lost
the foregoing advance, thereby re-establishing oar currency
of Tuesday last. Prices: British: Wheat, per 701 b.,
