EPISCOPAL CONSISTENCY

SAYINGS versus DOJNGS.

" The Bishop of London deems the writing, or trans—
mission, of a letter, on Sunday, an act of impiety which
nothing can justify. So says the Prelate in Parliament,
and as the head of the City deputation to Lord Melbourne.
But what does he say by his conduct in his palace? A.
proof has been placed in our possession, of a letter recently
written and franked by the Bishop's own band, and poskd
on a Sunday !"—Evening Paper.

Bishop Cant, with his pious eyes meekly upraised,
Protests with a groan that he's like to go crazed
At the thought of the citizens scribbling away,
And posting their letters on God's holy Day !
Such conduct, quoth he, they must quickly amend,
For it makes all the hairs of my wig stand on end !
Oh, right says the adage—'tis easier to preach,
Far more than to practice, the duties we teach,
For London's Apostle, though pious and pure,
And in conduct so ultra-sabbatical, sure,
Disdaining to put off his business 'till Monday,
Himself writes a letter, and posts it, on Sunday ! !

A CARD.
kJEDD 0 N'S AROMATIC LOZENGES
of STEEL are found by experience to possess the most
extraordinary powers in the cure of disorders incidental to youth of
both sexes. For improving debilitated, relaxed, or broken constitu.
tions, there decidedly is not so excellent a remedy in the universe.
When the weak, the languid, the emaciated of either sex, make a
trial of this medicine, they find their spirits exhilarated, their strength
recruited, their faculties renovated, and all the alarming symptoms of
approaching consumption subside. When the most important func-
tions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance
or impradence are reduced to the most deplorable state of nervous
debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It has been as.
certained, beyond a doubt, that these circumstances are oc-
casioned by a general or partial relaxation or weakness in
either sex ; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S genuine
AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL are the best, if not the
only remedy ever diScovered for this species of debility. When
taken into the stomach, they immediately diffuse themselves like a
vapour through every por--, producing effects at once delightful,
salutary, and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim,
the circulation' languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges
are found to give tone to the nerves, exhiiirate the animal spirits,
invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion
to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, in-
dicate approaching consumption, the delicate lemßle will be preserved
and restored to health and society by the benign influence of this
medicine.

CHILI AND PERU.

Mr. O'CONNELL wished to know whether -her Ma-
jesty's Government had taken any steps, by their influence
or otherwise, to put an end to the war now waging between
Chili, the Bolivian Confederation, and Peru?
Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty's Govern-
ment had been very anxious to endeavour, if pos-
sible, to put an end to the war between the Bo-
livian Confederation and the Republics of Chili and
Buenos Ayres, and had sent out an offer of me-
diation, but which had been accepted by the Confedera-
tion only. Negotiations, however, were still going on be-
tween her Majest)'s Government and the Government of
Chili and Buenos Ayres, with the hope that that unfortu-
nate contest might be put an end to.
Mr. O'CONNELL said the answer of the Noble Lord
was perfectly satisfactory, and hoped the Government
would persevere in their efforts.

a quarter before two o'clock.

♦TTORNLY-GENERAL V. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

Mr. PEMBERTON said that in this case the in'ormation
was filed by the Reverend John ilillyard and others
against the Great Western Railway Company, and he was
to move for an injunction to restrain the defendants from issuing
a precept to the Sheriff to summon a Jury in order to assess
damages. The defendants appeared, and desired the mo! ion
should stand over till the next Seal (the 17th), which he
( Mr. Pemberton) consented to upon the defendants undertak-
ing to stay all proceedings.

Mr. KIVDER;LEY, for the defendants, gave the undertaking,
and the order was made accordingly.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)

This being the first day of Hilary Term, the Court was
opened at twenty minutes to two o'clock, with the usual for-
malities. The Judges presiding were Lord Denman, and
Justices Littledalc, Williams, and Coleridge.

THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF SWANSEA

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause
why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding the
Corporation to proceed to the election of eight councillors for
that borough. The non-election arose out of the circum-
stances of the proper number of assessors for each ward not
having been appointed.
The Learned Gentleman having stated the facts of the case,
the Court granted the rule.

THE QUEEN V. VIRIER.
Mr. Sergeant STEPHENS in this case, which was an indict-
ment for forgery, moved the Court in arrest of judgment.
The proceedings originated in evidence given by the defen-
dant, Sarah Virier, before a Parliamentary Committee ap-
pciuted to try the validity of the return for the city of Bristol.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the facts of
the case, which were fully detailed in our report of the trial on
the 25th ult.

Lord DENMAN inquired upon what grounds he moved ?
Mr. Sergeant STEPHENS —On the ground that the verdict
was imperfect, and also on the ground that the indictment
was improperly framed. _ _

Lord. D.ENIIAN-Because I have had an application from
the parties to amend the verdict on the nos/ea, and I am to
see them to-morrow. If it depended upon that it would be
better therefore to wait for the result of the application.
After some discussion between the Bench and the Learned
Counsel the application was postponed.

GIBSON V. EAST INDIA COMPANY.

Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL gave judgment in this case,
(argued last Term). The question was, whether the East
India Company could by action at law be compelled to
pay pensions agreed to by resolution of the Board of Directors.
The Court ruled that they could not. The plaintiffs sued the
Company for the arrears of pension, which the Board
had resolved to pay him. The Court said the Company were
bound morally, but not legally, by the resolution, and directed
a nonsuit.

HORRID -MURDER.

--...,....._
LISBON, SEPT. 30.,—..
A horrid murder of an appalling
nature,:and which 'aras caused much dread and sensation
among the inirl•Atants of the capital, was committed on
the night of rAursday last in the house of Physician
Andrade, '...4 Rua do Aleeriin, iu the very centre of the
city, dur.,,,c his absence iron. town. A lady, two grown-
up da,..ghters, and a son,lately returned from Angola,were
fou'ad on the subsequent day in the supper-room, the
fJrmer barbarously strangled, and the later with his
throat cut and much mutilated. The servant man has
disappeared, who is supposed to he an accessory, and by
Whose means "the assassins must hay.! had access through
the stable. however, they succeeded in stealing only

EVF.NrINTG 141.DITION.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT.

(THISD A

George Corbett Goldsmid, the son of Mr. Goldsmid
of the Stock Exchange, whose case was before the Court
yesterday, was again brought up to-day. The case was
adjourned from yesterday till to-day for the purpose of
enabling the insolvent to file certain accounts connected
with a coal commission business which the insolvent ,
had carried on. He was opposed by a Mr. Medee, a
cigar-dealer, carrying on business in the Haymarket,
to whom he was indebted to the extent of nearly
201. for cigars, cigar cases, pipes, snuff boxes,
and other things. In the course of the proceed-
'alae's it was stated that the elder Mr. Goldsmid
had offered to pay the bona fide creditors of his son, but
had refused to be answerable for the debts of those
who had recklessly given credit to the insolvent, as the
facility they had given his son to get in debt, had
been his ruin. The debts of the insolvent amounted
altogether to between 5001. and 6001., of which about
3001. were bonalide.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, this morning, the ac-
counts having been filed, declared the insolvent who
had been out on bail, entitled to the benefit of the Act,
and ordered him to be discharged.
ACCOMMODATION BlLLS.—James Smith, a baker,
who had carried on business at Windsor, was brought
up on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent
was opposed by a Mr. Lea, a cheesemonger, in Great
Russell-street, Coveat-garden. It appeared from the
statements of Mr. Lea, that the insolvent had accepted
a bill for the accommodation of his brother for 251., for
which Mr. Lea as an act of kindness, had given hint the
full amount in cash. That bid had never been paid, and
of this Mr. Lea complained, as it had been admitted by
the insolvent, that he had received under a will through

his wife, 5001.
The insolvent declared that his brother bad assured
him, that the bill had been paid, which he believed to
be the fact, up to the time when Mr. Lea applied to
him about i► four months afterwards, when he was not
in circumstances to enable him to pay the bill.
Mr. Lea said he should not have appeared to op-
pose the insolvent if the debt had been incurred for
goods out of his shop, but he considered it extremely
hard that he should lose twenty-five pounds hard cash,
by a transaction which had not benefited him a

farthing.
The insolvent in answer to a question from the Court
stated that be was not aware where his brother was to
be found.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said the insolvent's
brother must be produced, and for that purpose be
should remand the ease to Friday.
The insolvent who had been out on bail,
was then
remanded. A pretty strong proof that the complaint of
Mr. Lea was well founded.
London, England, 1839-10-08

Another reason we have for it is, that it will e
able our merchants to deal more on the squateiwith
those of other countries. At present our more
valuable standard has the effect, as all bargains are
made in the money of each country, of compelling
our merchants to give more commodities, and re-
ceive less, for a given quantity of the standard of
value, or a given amount of gold and silver, than
they would have to give and receive were the stan-
dard of value here, as it is on the Continent, the
cheapest metal.
Moreover, as we observed on Friday, the price
of gold is measured by silver, and what was
meant by gold being dearer in Hamburg than in
England is, it was worth more silver. Now, the
effect of making payments in silver here, would be
to enhance the utility, and the value of that metal
here, to cause a demand for it from Hamburg and
other places, and consequently to raise its relative
value there as well as here. Gold, measured in
silver, would become cheaper in Hamburg, and
the employment we have recommended of silver
would, we believe, have the effect of bringing back

Our Correspondent says that if the paper money
continues to be depreciated, we shall he obliged to
give an additional value to silver, and make tokens
of our silver coin, as was done during the Bank
depreciation. But we supposed, though we may be
misinformed, that such is the case now. It is clone,
we understand, to the extent of about five per cent.
by the Mint regulation declaring that an ounce of
gold is worth only as much silver as is contained
in nearly 785., when it is worth more : and it is
done, we understand, to the extent of about six
per cent. additional by the high seigniorage
levied on the silver coin. A shilling is not, in
fact, the twentieth part of a sovereign in value,

The French journals of Sunday speak in a less ,
despondent tone of the prospectii„ye state of 4he
country during the winter. From several depart-
ments accounts were received that the harvest was
much better than had been anticipal`d. Of corn
there was an average crop, and the vintage was
abundant, and of the finest quality. The vine-
growers had not experienced so fine a harvest since
1834. Still the commercial distress was very
great in the interior, owing to extensive failures,
which obliged several of the banks to contract
their operations.
The camp at Fontainbleau was broken up on
Friday, after being reviewed by the KING. Though
the weather was unfavourable, most of the Royal
Family, the Foreign Ambassadors, and several of
the great Officers of State, were present. The
KING, with his own hand, distributed to officers
and men about forty decorations.
The Commission appointed to consider the
question of the transmission of offices, met at the
Chancellrie on Saturday. M. TESTE, Keeper of
the Seals, presided. The following are the ques-
tions which were submitted to its consideration :
" 1. Ought not more rigorous conditions for fitness, and
more proportioned to the importance of the different orders
of Ministerial offices, be imposed for admission?
" 2. Ought not certain penalties, independent of the
present discipline, to put down the abuse of those holding
offices, and giving themselves up entirely to other business,
be imposed ; and ought not more rigorous limits be assigned
to their functions ?
3. would it not be proper to fix a period before which
no titular can give up his charge, and his successor shall
be refused admission ?
" 4. In case the Government should make use of their
right to create fresh offices, where the increase of business
requires them, shall these new offices be hereditary, or
shall they be only for life, and not transferable ?"
