BIRMINGHAM ELECTION.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
All doubt as to the probability of Mr. Attwood's
resignation seems at length at an end, although I regret
to say that the circumstances connected with the long-
delayed announcement of that gentleman's final determi-
nation upon the subject has placed the Liberal cause in
no small jeopardy. In the beginning of the week it
was generally understood that Mr. Attwood would
keep his seat till the next general election,
being unsuccessful in his endeavoUrs to procure a per-
son holding views entirely in accordance with his own to
fill his place, Mr G. F. Muntz, who was applied to by
the Hon. Gentleman, having distinctly and positively
refused to come forward. The field being thus clear,
Mr. Sturge's friends lost no time in securing the
suffrages of the electors in favour of that gen-
tleman whenever a vacancy should occur, and
in this course they were encouraged by the general
feeling expressed in his favour by the great mass of
electors in the borough, and the determination to
support him against any opposition on the part of
Whigs or Tories. Things, however, have assumed a
totally different aspect within the last four-and-twenty
hours. A meeting of Mr. Sturge's Committee was
held yesterday evening at the Public-office, when the
following letter from William Scholefield, Esq., late
Mayor of the Borough, addressed to Mr. Edmonds,
Clerk of the Peace, and one of the Committee,
was read to the meeting, conveying the first official in-
timation of Mr. Attwood's determination to vacate his
seat for Birmingham, although it is known that he
applied for the Chiltren Hundreds three weeks ago :
" Minories, Dec. 19, 1839.
" DEAR SIR,—I have this morning received a letter
from Mr. Attwood, dated the 14th instant, in which he
acknowledges the receipt of my letter of the Bth, which
reached him only the day he wrote. He declares to
have finally made up his mind to resign, and his address
to his constitutents will, I expect, appear, in the Journal
of Saturday. " I am, dear Sir,
" Very faithfully your's,
"To G. Edmonds, Esq. "W. SCHOLEFIELD."
No reasons appear to have been assigned by Mr. Att-
wood in his communication to Mr. Scholefield (or if they
were they have not transpired), as to the cause which
prevented him from making an earlier announce-
ment of his intentions with regard to the representa-
tion of the borough. Mr. Sturge's Committee, how.
ever, determined at once to commence active opera-
tions, and retain the advantage which they have al-
ready secured. Offices have been taken in a central
part of the town, and measures are in progress for
making an immediate canvass of the borough. These
energetic measures are, it is deeply to be regretted, ren-
dered necessary, not by Whig or Tory opposition, but
by a portion of the Radical interest in the borough, who
are getting up a requisition to Mr. George Frederick
Aluntz, with the view of inducing that gentleman
to contest the election with a Reformer, whose
principles are at least as sound and honest
as his own. Mr. Muntz will, no doubt, be put
up on Whig and Radical influence combined, and,
as Mr. Sturge's friends are determined not to withdraw
that gentleman from the field, of which they have been
so long fairly left in possession, there is, according to
the present aspect of things, every reason to believe
that the Liberal interest will be divided in the borough,
and a Tory candidate allowed to carry off the prize.
Col. Thompson is still in Birmingham, and has put out
an address to the Radical electors of the borough.
The Tories are not idle, they are playing a deep game ;
and should Mr. Muntz divide the Radical interest—as
he assuredly will, by coming forward—he will be running
a tilt against the great principle of union amongst Re-
formers, which he has often and successfully impressed
upon the electors, as the foundation and stronghold of
their cause.
CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.

(From the Scots Times.)
The Commission of the General Assembly has af-
forded another proof to the country of the determi-
nation of the majority of our State Churchmen to
remain in rebellion against the authority of the civil
powers. The Presbytery of Strathbogie having, con-
' trary to the injunctions of the General Assembly,
resolved to obey the law of the land in proceeding
to take on trial Mr. Edwards, the presentee to the pa-
rish of Marnoch in terms of a decision of the Court of
Session, the Commission of Assembly met on Wednes-
day, and suspended the majority of the Presbytery, pro-
hibiting them from exercising the functions of the ministry
in their respective parishes, and appointing others to do
duty, ad interim, in their stead. This extraordinarystretcb
of power on the part of the Commission has necessarily ex-
cited a great sensation, and must inevitably be followed by
important consequences. The remarks of our Contempo-
rary of the Chronicle on this subject, are equally pointed,
and appropriate. " Talk of Chartists !" says he, " here is
Ha Corporation fostered, pensioned, sustained by the
.State, .setting itself in opposition to the judicatories of
' the land. This state of things cannot last. The
Queen- and Parliament must be the ruling power, or
a knot of sectarians will take the place of the judges of
the people."
We do not see how the General Assembly, through
its Commission, can be longer overlooked by the
civil power. The suspension of the seven ministers
of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, involves depriva-
tion of income, and when taken in connection with
the late decree of the Court of Session, can be
viewed in no other light than as direct rebellion.
The poor misguided Welsh Chartists have offended
the law, and a Special Commission has been appoint-
to examine and punish. And here is an assembly of
learned gentlemen, influential from their station in so-
ciety, setting the law openly at defiance ; why should
they not be brought at once to submission ? Our
Whig Ministers have dealt too mildly with these people.
The public are instituting an unfavourable contrast
between the treatment of the Chartist rioters and the
Clerical conspirators. The poor, the ignorant, the
unhappy in worldly circumstances, and the excited, are
thrown into prison, while the cool calculating plotter for
the exaltation of ecclesiastical over civil power,—for
the subversion, in fact, of our present constitution in
Church and State, in order to pave the way towards a
sacerdotal despotism—are permitted to go at large.
We observe that Mr. Henry Dunlop of Craigton
has had the imprudence to second the motion of the
Rev. Mr. M'Candlish, for suspending the ministers
of the Presbytery of Strathbogie. We are sorry
that Mr. Dunlop should have put himself so forward.
It ill becomes the Chief Magistrate of the second city
in the island to take a lead in opposition to the law of
the land. But punishment must follow, and if Mr.
Dunlop will allow himself to be led into rebellion, by
those who surround him, he must take the consequences.
The vengeance of the law may be suspended for a time ;
but in the end its majesty must and will be vindicated.
The hasty rebellion of the Welsh Chartists is nothing
comparable to the cool and decided rebellion of the
Churchmen.

(From the Ayr Observer.)
The plain and simple duty of the Presbytery was to
obey the mandate of the Ecclesiastical Court. The
Church may he wrong—egregiously wrong—in contend-
ing with the law, by adhering to the Veto Act, but it
assuredly is not the province of an inferior court, under
any circumstances, to set aside the rule of a superior.
It is absurd to vindicate the Presbytery—as some
of our Contemporaries have done—on the ground that,
placed between two evils, they chose the least,
by obeying the dictates of the civil tribunal in
preference to their own supreme judicatory. So long
as they formed a constituent part of an establishment,
. governed by its own laws, and to whose legislative as-
sembly they were accountable, they had neither the
power to act independently, nor were they, in anysense,
held compe,ent to entertain the question between the
Civil and the Ecclesiastical Courts. We regret as
much as any one that the safety of our venerated
Church Establishment should be endangered by inter-
nal feuds, and speculative notions of independence.
We regret the violent course which has been
adopted : but now that the Church has chosen her
position, and so long as she is supported in that po-
sition by a Legislative majority, we cannot hold
them true friends who seek to widen the breach, and
attempt to throw obstacles in the way of an amicable
adjustment with the State. The Church has no doubt
misapprehended her rights, though it must be admitted
that there is much weight in the reasoning of Dr.
Chalmers. The error on the part of the Assembly
exists, not in the end sought to be obtained, but in the
course adopted for its accomplishment. if the Church
has presumed on an authority which the State denies
her—but which the former holds to be indispensable to
her welfare—and is prepared to sever the bonds of
union rather than veil her independence, common pru-
dence ought to recommend conciliation. The State
is assuredly not in a condition to discard the Church.
(From the Belfast Nezus Letter.)
There can be no doubt that the conduct of the
Presbytery, in preferring the injunctions of the law
authorities to those of the Church, rendered it impe-
rative upon the latter to maintain its spiritual juris-
diction, since it must be evident that if inferior Courts,
whether in Church or State, can with impunity disregard
the commands of the superior, all subordination would
be quickly at an end. Considered in itself, therefore, the
decision of the Assembly Commission is undoubtedly,
right, with reference to the intrinsic power of the
Church itself over its own members, hut its expediency
in relation to the whole of the case at issue is far
from being evident. We need hardly premise that it
is the duty of Churchmen as well as others to obey the
law, and if they knowingly and wilfully set themselves
in opposition to it, they put themselves into a false po-
sition, by violating the allegiance they owe to the State
from which they derive their temporal emoluments. It
is:no excuse to say that the law of patronage is a bad
one—we freely admit it, and hope to witness its speedy
abolition, but neither the Church of Scotland nor any
other Church can be permitted to usurp the functions of
Parliament and to set aside a positive statue of the Wererealm
by the resolutions of an Ecclesiastical Court.
such a doctrine as this sanctioned in any .
case, would
bring back the days of Papal despotism, when mo-

narchs were content to wear their crowns by the spe-
cial grace of the Holy Sec. The only intelligible, ra-
tional course for the friends of the Church of Scotland
to pursue is to avoid all further collisions with the
Courts of Law, and to endeavour by constitutional
means to have the the Patronage Acts modified or
abolished by Parliament in the regular form. It is
manifest, that, unless this be done a schism will be
gradually provoked within the Church itself, as
Ministers cannot be expected to incur the ruinous
consequences of withstanding the secular power.
It may also happen, that if the quarrel shall be
prosecuted to any great extent, the Church may be dis-
established, as the State cannot be expected to conti-
nue emoluments to a body of men who refuse that obe-
dience and submission to the laws in consideration of
which those emoluments were originally granted. The
cause of the opponents of patronage is a noble one, but
it has been unhappily damaged almost beyond remedy
by the unconstitutional and even illegal mode in which
it has been attempted to be enforced by Dr. Chalmers
and his supporters in the General Assembly. They
have not only multiplied the inherent difficulties of the
case, but have driven the Church itself into an attitude
of rebellion against the State, and have thus exposed it
to a danger incomparably greater than any by which
it has been threatened since the Revolution settlement.

(From the Glasgow Chronicle.)
'The most important question, merely political, which
is at the present day before the public, is that of the re-
lation which the State and the Church bear towards
each other. It is this :—Whether is the Church, as
a Corporation supported by the State, to be allowed to
set the State's laws at defiance?

We are not disposed to underrate the services ren-
dered to the community by the Church of Scot-
land. These services have been too marked—too
well known—and too generally appreciated,—to be
thought lightly of now. But still we hold that the
Church should hold her own place—and that so
long as she receives the emoluments of the State,
she must submit to such arrangements as the State
chooses to impose. So long as the clergy only talked
about their " equal and co-ordinate jurisdiction," few
troubled themselves about the matter, but since they
have begun to practise on such theories, it is found ne-
cessary to prune their luxuriance. The difference be-
tween the two parties is simply that the one can de-
clare, the other can act. The Church can fulminate
opinions, to which only those according with them will
dream of paying obedience ; the Civil Court has mes-
sengers-at-arms to enforce its dicta on the disobedient.

(From the Glasgow Argus.)
A recent decision of the Court of Session has placed
the General Assembly in a new posture of helplessness ;
its Veto Act is anticipated ; its communicants are
gagged, and their veto is, not questioned, but suppressed
before it is uttered. Bitterly will the General As-
sembly repent its defiance of the law on which it de-
pends, enacting the part of that" astute old gentleman in
the caricature, who is sawing away the beam upon which
he sits. We find the following account of the new blow
at the Veto Act in a leader• of the Scotsman of yester-
day, no general report of the proceedings being given :
Yesterday (Tuesday), the Court of Session adopted
a measure which will strikingly illustrate to the Gene-
ral Assembly the efficacy of its " separate, independent.
and co-ordinate jurisdiction,"—an interdict was granted
to prohibit the communicants of a parish from tendering
their dissents in terms of the Veto Act. The presen-
tation (to a vacancy in the united parishes of Daviot
and Dunlichty, in Inverness-shire), was made by the
Crown to the Rev. Simon Mackintosh. Accord-
ing to the statements in the presentee's note of
suspension, the Crown, in preparing a beet for the
choice of the parishioners (according to the prac-
tice lately adopted) excluded the name of a can-
didate who had been employing improper means to
secure the choice of the congregation. The leet finally
sent consisted of the presentee and another. The he-
ritors intimated a time for the heads of families in com-
munion with the Church to meet them, that they might
mutually select and recommend to the Crown one of
the two candidates. Three communicants only at-
tended, and there was of course no choice for the Se-
cretary of State but to present the person recommended
by them. The parish boasts of ten heads of families
who are communicants. Seven of these are, it appears,
opposed to the presentee, and in favour of the gentle-
man whose name was not admitted to the leet.The Pres-
bytery have appointed the 19th December for moderating
in a call, whqn, of course, these seven communicants
(two of whom, it appears, cannot write) intend to veto
the presentee. In the meantime, the latter applied to
the Court to interdict them " from appearing before
the Presbytery of Inverness, at their meeting, &c., and
tendering their dissents respectively, without the assign-
ment of any special objections to the call and settle-
ment of the complainer, &e., and that either by each
of the respondents, separately and personally, delivering
his dissent as aforesaid in writing, or by tendering the
same to be taken down from his oral statement by the
Moderator or Clerk of said Presbytery." The Court,
unanimously and without hesitation, instructed the Lord
Ordinary to grant the interim interdict.

SUGAR.—There has been more life in the British Plan-
ation market this week, than has been the case for some

time • this is probably on account of next and part of
the followingtime;
week being a holiday. For refining pur-

week. Jamaica of good ord qua-

78s a 84s, and fine old at 94s a 1003 per cwt. Mocha in
small parcels have fetched 1143 for common green.
This afternoon there was little inclination to buy Rio at
a public sale of 3,167 bags, the whole of which was taken .
at fair market rates, viz., 45s to 47s 6d for low and good
ord, excepting about 250 bags, which were sold at 45s to
47s per cwt.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—.The market continues
very quiet for Rum, but the merchants are not inclined to
accept lower prices. The purchases in Jamaica and Lee-
wards have not exceeded 100 puns at former rates ; 700
puns have arrived. Geneva sells steadily at previous
prices. In Brandy scarcely anything has been done for
export, but a fair demand has prevailed for home use.
British Corn Spirits sell steadily.
SALTPETRE,-Rough common descriptions have main-
tained previous rates ; Bengal refraction I]-4 to 81 per
cent, fetched 23s 6d, 51 ditto 24s ; Calcutta .54 per cent
refraction of ordinary grey quality at 24s to 24s 6d, and
good grey 3 per cent refraction at 25s 6d to 265.
TEA.--The market has been in a dull state for several
days past, the trade not being inclined to purchase
more than sufficient for their immediate necessi-
ties, and the small parcels disposed of have been
at rather lower rates; common Free Trade Congou has
been disposed of at 2s 4:ld to 2s 5d ; Twankay 2s 7d to
2s 7 d; Canton Bohea at the Is 6d duty 2s 2d, some of
the merchants are not disposed to sell at these rates. For
Company's Congou for cash 2s 3d has been accepted the
it
s
present opinion is that the market will continue, in
present state until accounts are received from Canton.

This afternoon there was very little businessLng in
any kind of Tea, and common Free Trade Congou has
been sold at 2s 4d, and inferior at 2s 3d; Twankay com-
mon 2s 5d for cash, 2s 7d with a prompt.
COCOA.—British Plantation have maintained previous
rates. In Foreign little passing.
This afternoon 300 barrels Trinidad at auction were
taken in above their value—viz., fair and good mid red
at 51s 6d to 54s 6d, low mid grey 52s per cwt.; there were
buyers within 6d to Is of these rates.

TALLOW.—For Russian Tallow prices have undergone
scarcely any variation, fine P. Y. C. having sold currently
at 49s to 49s 3d on the spot, and at 48a 9i to 49s for deli-
very in the early part of next year. For the last three
months of 1840 some sales have been made at 47s 3d per
cwt. Town Tallow in fair request.
OtLs.—For common descriptions of Fish Oils there has
been a good demand from the home trade. Pale Seal
311 lOs to 321. Cod has sold currently at 30/ ;
and Southern at 241 to 261 for low to good quality ;
Sperm Oil 105/per tun for firEt quality. For Linseed Oil
22s has been accepted ; Rape pale at 365, and brown at
35s per cwt; Palm at 34/ lOs to 351, and fine quality at
361 per tun ; 130 tuns Southern at public sale went at
241 to 25/ 10s.

SPICES.—The private purchases in black Pepper have
been limited, but prices remain firm, common Sumatra
fetching Sad : White at 9cl to 10,-i-d for good mid-
dling. Nutmegs at 3s 7d to 3s 8d for ord first quality;
a few lots ord shrivelled were taken in at 2s 2d to 2s 3d
per lb. Mace at 3s 2d to 4s 5d per lb for crdinary
to fair second quality. Cassia Lignea fetched 645 6d to
68s for low middling and middling false packed.
For East or West India Ginger prices remain the same aq
last week. Cinnamon has maintained late rates.
