(From the London New Pries Current of last Evening. )
St:GAL-The British Plantation Raw Market has become
very inactive, both grocers and refiners purchasing with ex-
treme reluctance, and the disinclination to buy has increased
daily ; some of the importers are not so firm as they were,
and prices appear to have reached their highest point for the
present ; on Tuesday former rates were supported, and at
which 129 hhds. Barbadoes at auction found buyers, fine at
70s. to 71s. ; good, 635. to 695. ; mid., 665. Gd. to 675. 6d. ;
since then, however, 202 hhds., 111 trs., 156 barrels St.
Lucia, at public sale, went heavily at a reduction on last
week's rates of 6d. to ls., the greater decline on good grocery
descriptions, mid to good brown, 61s. to 645. ; mid. to good
yellow, 645. Gd. to 665. ; fine, 675. to 68s. This afternoon
the Market continued exceedingly dull, both grocers and
refiners showing very little inclination to purchase, and rather
easier prices were submitted to for the small quantity which
was sold, establishing a general decline on the rates of this
day week of Gd. to Is. Barbadoes went heavily at prices
barely equal to the rates of the sale of Tuesday; mid. sold at
675. to 655. Gd. The Refined Market has been very quiet
this week, 81s. for Lumps passing, and 795. to 803. for those
under the standard ; for exportation there has been very little
doing, 393. has been paid for a few small parcels of double
Crushed ; for 150 hhds. Dutch Crushed Sugar 355. 6d. has
been paid, but 365. is now required.
MAutaTtus.-The demand has much abated, and prices for
the present appear to have been at their highest point. This
afternoon there was very little inclination to buy ; at auction
552 bags went at former rates, low and mid. yellow sold at
623. 6d., fine brown Gls. 6d., very ord. 555. to 58s.
. EAST INDIA.-The grocers have purchased rather sparingly
of Bengal by private contract. This afternoon the grocers
have purchased very sparingly of Bengal, and a public sale of
1.700 bags went without spirit at a reduction on former rates
of full Is. ; fine white sold at 70s , mid. to good. 68i. Gd. to
695. 6d., damps Gd. to 68s. 6d.
FokEtoN.--This afternoon, at public sale, 952 chests white
Havannah, 72 chests 615 brls. Brazil were offered ; of the
former only a small portion found buyers at previous market
rates; fine went at 41s. 6d. to 425., good 40s. to 415., mid.
395. to 395. 6d., low mid. 38s. to 38s. 6d., washed 375.; the
latter were principally disposed of at full previous rates ; Per-

MUTILATING THE SCRIPTURES.—We observe
tliat a correspondent states that it was the practice of the late
Sir Harry Moncrieff, in reading the Old Testament, and ex-
pounding it to his congregation (technically called lecturing
t rough it), altogether to omit certain passages—to
p ss, say from verse 10th to verse 25th of some chapters, or
f om chap. 3d to chap. sth of several of the books of the Old
Testament, leaving them unread and unexplained, as " not
c lculated for edification." We have been assured by indivi-
duals who sat in the West Kirk for many years, under Sir
Harry's min'strations, that the fact, as here stated, is literally
correct, and there must be hundreds of persoa in Edinburgh
ho can verify it. Was not this mutilating the Scriptures?
We do not blame that excellent man and orthodox divine fur
the practice ; on the contrary, we think that it savoured strong])
of his down ight independent honesty and practical sense ; but
we do marvel at the hypocrisy of those who must know that
such a practice was followed by so evangelical a preacher, and
so sincere a Christian, without having ever drawn on him
Church censure, and who, nevertheless, fulminate anathemat-
atr
ainst the proposition to omit any portion of the Bible what-
ever, in the instruction children. Will passages, which Si'
Harry did not consider " edifying" to his adult congregation,
;rive srcialli wholesome to the infant mind ?—Scotsman.

The bold and decided manner in which Lord
Brougham avowed, on Thursday evening, his convic-
tion of the urgent necessity that exists for further re-
forms in the principles of the Reform Bill—will diffuse
joy and gladness throughout the width and breadth
of the land. It has operated with an electric effect on
thousands and tens of thousands in the metropolis. It
is impossible to describe the feelings of exultation,
nay, of ecstasy itself, with which it has filled the
breasts of the people of this great city ; and ere
many (lays elapse each of the metropolitan burghs
will, through the voice of the assembled masses, re
turn a response to the noble declaration of his Lord-
ship, which will at once strike terror into the minds of
the Tory faction, and of certain timid persons who
have hitherto worn the garb of Reformers. Lord
Brougham, in his manly and well-timed declara-
tion, has only given utterance to a feeling which
is deep-rooted in the minds of the people of Eng-
land. They demand the very concessions which he
has pointed out as necessary to the beneficial ope-
ration of the Reform Act. Experience has taught
them, that that measure has only been a mockery
and insult to them. It has tricked them by pre-
.tending to give them a controul over the representa-
tion of the country which it has never conferred. It
has insulted them by nominally investing them with
the elective franchise, while that franchise has been
practically put into the hands of a few Aristocrats. Is
it not notorious as the noon-day sun. that the majority
of the late elections have been decided by Aristocratic
influence, intimidation, and other unhallowed in-
fluenees ? And is it not equally clear, that so long as
time Reform 13i11 rests in its present narrow basis, that
must continue to be the case ? the people are to be
actually represented on the House of Commons, those
great measures to which. Lord John Russell has
avowed his decided hostility, and in favour of which
Lord Brougham has declared himself, must be carried.
The latter Noble Lord, it is true, did not in so many
words declare himself in favour of the Ballot or
triennial Parliaments ; but there can be no question
that ill using the words " principles of the Reform
Bill," these two measures were included. On the sub-
ject of the extension of the Suffrage, the language of
his Lordship was, happily, as specific as it was
possible for any combination of words to make it.
There exists not the slightest ground for misconcep-
tion as to his meaning. The Tory journals show by
their yells yesterday morning and evening how clear it
is to their apprehension. The snarls, too, of certain
prints, which are bound hand and foot to a party,
though decked out in the colours of Reform, equally
prove that the masters whom they serve not only un-
derstand, but writhe under his Lordship's language.
A more seasonable declaration than that of Lord
Brougham could not have been made. It came in a
moment of great emergency to the popular cause. The
hostile demonstration which Lord John Russell but a
few evenings before had made against those reforms
which the voice of the country demands, had given a
" heavy blow and a great discouragement" to the po-
pular interest ; and it was while thus cast down and
dejected that Lord Brougham came forward, and by
a noble declaration in favour of the very principles
which the Home Secretary had so eagerly denounced,
revived their spirits, and inspired them with fresh hopes.
To Lord Brougham, more than to any other man,
does the country owe the reforms which have been al-
ready achieved ; and to him, more than to any other
man, it will, we do doubt not, be laid under obliga-
tions for the accomplishment of those great improve-
mends which- it still demands. Let, then, the country
rally round his Lordship. Let the people do this
without a moment's delay, and let them do it as one
man. He is with them heart and soul. Nay, more ;
it is but an act of justice to the Noble Lord to say,
that he never yet deserted the people. This is no
new assertion. We, and our excellent and able con-
temporary The Sun, unflinchingly and perseveringly
maintained that he was devotedly attached to the
popular cause, when, among all the London jour-
nals, we stood alone. We know of no man who
has been so badly used as his Lordship. An un-
guarded expression which escaped his lip: a few years
since was, with a heartlessness which we have scarcely
ever seen paralleled in the annals of personal,
for it was personal, rancour, perverted to the basest
purposes. It was held up as demonstrating an abju-
ration of all the principles of his past life—principles,
be it remembered, in the assertion of which he had
made personal sacrifices of the greatest magnitude.
It was also represented as an abandonment of the
people's cause ; and this, too, by the very prints
which have since proved themselves to he the
most profligate in the annals of the press. We said
at the time that Lord Brougham would live down the
base calumnies—the more base because the very parties
who daily propagated them knew them to be unfound-
ed. Our prediction is verified. The Noble Lord
now stands in a position of whiah any public man
might be proud. The eyes of the country are not only
on, but to him. He will not disappoint their expec-
tations. lie has a glorious career before him—and
gloriously will he run it. With his gigantic talents,
his untiring perseverance, and his mighty moral cour-
age, on their side, what have the people to fear ?
Morning Advertiser.
The Duke of Newcastle intends, we suppose, to
show off in great style on Monday, from his hay ng given
note of prepalation that he means to present on Mon-
day next a petition from the Protestant Association,
of which the prayer is, that Catholics may be excluded
from seats in Parliament. This is a very modest re-
quest. We suppose the next request will be that Ca-
tholics be excluded altogether from the land of their
birth. We believe the Duke of Newcastle to be a
really honest Tory. • The number of honest and dis-
interested Tories is not glint, for on analysing any
given list, after deducting the interested and the inti-
midated, the remainder will be found small indeed.
But the Duke of Newcastle is a bigot in principle.

has never once, even by accident, deviated into

He
is the genuine old Tory. We regret as much as the
Duke of Newcastle can do that the Protestant
religion
is not the religion of the majority of the Irish people ;
but then we attribute this to the misconduct of the
Protestant Establishment itself and former Govern-
ments. In Dr. Seaton Reid's admirable History of
the Presbyterians of Ireland, abundant evidence will
be found of conduct on the part of the Protestant
hierarchy of former times, almost approaching to a
wish that the great body of the people should remain
Catholics. Archbishop Banker, in more than one of
his letters, appears to think Protestantism too good a
trade to be opened to Catholics, and to dread nothing
so much as the conversion of Catholics. Converted
Catholics are held up as a sort of usurpers of what
ought to be monopolised by Protestants alone. On
the other hand, the lower orders of Catholics were
debarred from instruction, and consequently remained
immersed in all manner of prejudices. The art of
man could not have devised more effective means
for opposing the progress of Protestantism.
The penal Laws, and Proscription, have had their
day—and the Catholics are, by law, on an
.equality with Protestants. The Duke of Newcastle
would hare us, after the crab fashion, travel back-
wards to persecution and the penal laws) The exclu-
sion of cutholics from Parliament is only a stage on

this course. We cannot help thinking that both the
Duke of Newcastle and the Earl of Roden will be
deemed bad tacticians by their party. Ireland is at
present more than usually tranquil. But great efforts
are now making by several landlords to create distur-
bance. We are far from wishing to interfere in that
most delicate of all matters, the management of pro-
perty. A humane man, no doubt, in introducing im-
provements, will endeavour, as much as possible, to
prevent their being the cause of individual suffering.
But when landlords remove tenants wholesale on ac-
count of their religious creed, and their votes at elec-
tions, the sufferers are necessarily viewed as martyrs.
Men driven out to die in ravines of mountains, and in
ditches by the roadsides, must be ready for all kinds of
outrage. It would be rash to predict, with such cir-
cumstances, the continuance of order in Ireland. Lord
Mulgrave may now make out a triumphant case ; but
if some ten or twelve thousand families were in the
next month or two turned out to perish, time state of
things might be very different.—Morning Chronicle.
The people of England, having a deep-seated love
of justice, and a quick jealousy of any attempt to
tamper with it, look with strong indignation at such
projects as the proposal fur postponing the election.
trtions till a ne.v law shall hare been framed for packing
a tribunal favourable to the sitting members. Lord
John Russell led the House on Thursday to expect
that he would last night give some further mystifica-
tion respecting the intentions of Government upon this
subject ; but his explanation was not quite so unintelli-
gible as he possibly meant it to be: After proposing
the postponement of the petitions till after the Christ-
mas recess, a dela) to which both sides of the House
were content to accede, Lord John Russell suggested
the Ist of February, the day intended for the reas-
sembling of time House,--as a convenient time for the
consideration of the petitions—that is, for the appoint-
ment of the afternoons on which the various Conunit-
tees are to be baliotted. After a little discussion of a
formal kind, Lord Stanley expressed his satisfaction
that Government appeared to havedecided upon leaving
the petitions to the due course of the law already pro-
vided for them. But Lord John was not to be coaxed
into any such explicit understanding. He would not
pledge himself, he said, as to the steps he should take,
until it should be seen at the expiration of the 14 days
allowed for the presentation of petitions whether there
were any extraordinary eireu te stances which might require
a devithon from the established course. On the 7rh of
December, by which time those fourteen days would
have elapsed, it would be known whether any such
special circumstances existed ; and if there should be
none such, he would then, he said, be prepared to
move distinctly that the petitions should be considered
on the Ist of February. Upon which Sir Robert
Peel gave notice, that if the Government de-
part from this intimation, he would on the 7th of
December bring the matter before the House him-
self, by a specific motion. Now, all this disguise
on the part of Ministers is as useless as it is discre-
ditable. Every body sees through it. Government
do not mean to attempt the fraud upon law and jus-
tice, which their very good friends arc pushing them
to perpetrate. They mean quietly to let the peti-
tions be tried, as usual, by Committees under the
Grenville Act. But they are so circumstanced, that
even where they do not really mean any dishonesty,
they are afraid altogether to disclaim it. They
dare not avow that they intend fair play, lest they
should disappoint their indisrensable allies, who look
to them for stronger measures ; therefore, to keep
alive among those rouse troops the hope of mischief,
they submit to hear time degrading, and we verily be-
lieve the false, suspicion, that they, the Ministers of
the Crown, and the responsible guardians of the Con-
stitution, intend to betray the law for the purposes of
a party. Like Snake- in the School
.for Scandal,'
they beg they may not be known to deal fairly, lest the

imputation of honesty should deprive then-lof their
bread. And then the reason assigned ! If any thing
could be more monstrous than the proposal of with-
drawing the trials from the lawful jurisdiction, it would
be the reason given by the Leader of the House of
Commons, that it is necessary to wait till it be known
whether extraordinary-cireutnstances, that is, a pecu-
liarly numerous influx of petitions, may not require the
majority of the House to supersede the legitimate tri-
bunals. Suppose, if you will, that the throng of peti-
rions be such as to raise a suspicion, that some are
presented for purposes of vexation, how does this
warrant a violation of the law as to the others ? Mr.
West and Mr. Hamilton present a bona fide petition
against the return for Dublin, and they claim to have
it, tried by the proper and legal court, a Committee of
the House of Commons. What answer to their claim
is it that some other petitioner, a candidate or elector
for some other city or county, has a petition which
was not presented bona fide ? But, meanwhile, who
can prove that this other petitioner is not a bona
fide suitor ? You are begging the whole quastion.
The petitioner asks, as by law he is entitled, that you
will refer it to a Committee to inquire into his claim ;
and this inquiry he asks at the hazard of costs. You
answer him, that the inquiry must he made before a
different jurisdiction, because you have already settled
that his claim is frivolous, which was the very point
for that jurisdiction to decide. We scarcely know what
most to admire in such a set of public functionaries—
their logic or their law—their policy or their pride—
their faith to their adversaries, or their selection of
their friends.— Times.

Lord John Russell having shot his bolt against
the " squeezing" portion of the Radicals on Monday
and Tuesday evenings, has fallen back into his old
habits. No conduct can be more unworthy of a
leading Minister than that which he has adopted on
the su!ject of controverted elections. He seems to
be afraid to emerge out of a certain muddy obscurity
of language upon that subject. He either does not
know his own mind, or he is afraid to declare it. If
the Government leader in the House of Commons
means to respect the law of the land, and to allow it
to take its course in. Parliamentary matters, as it cer-
tainly would in any other matter, why should he not
plainly say so ? If he think, on the other hand, that
the interests of his party cannot afford the due pro-
cedure of the law, but must be protected by some
tyranny which will evade the law, or trample upon it,
let him not shrink from an avowal of his purpose.
We can assure him that his timidity will be of no use
to him. Even the very scribes who flatter his evasive
dexterity will despise his paltry shuffling in their hearts
—if they have any ; and, should he succeed in his
shuffle, it will only make his fall the lower when his
time arrives. His Lordship leas refused to give a
distinct answer as to his intention about election pe-
titions, because, as he alleges, " it is impossible for
him to " say whether there may not appear to be
an evident intention to take advantage of the law to
set aside, not any false returns, not any returns made
by illegal voters, but to set aside a great number
of elections that have been manifestly and obviously
fair and legal." But who is to be the judge of this
matter ? Is Lord John Russell to take upon him to
decide what petitions are fair, and what are factious ?
That is no province of his ; and, if it were, we should
be sorry to trust his judgment. If the law be such as
gives facilities for taking an unfair advantage that is a
reason for setting about its repeal—not indeed so as
to alter its application to circumstances which have
taken place under the existing law, but to prevent its
injurious application to future circumstances. As to
the attempt to tamper with the law, in order to fit it
to the exigencies of the Whig-Radical party, we think
Lord John will find that to be rather more than he
can manage. If he will insist on doing what is wrong
he will be thwarted. If he Will not do what is right,
Sir Roh:rt Peel will di it for him._Morning Post.

UR T OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor. 24.
(Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.)
THE QUEEN V. NI UNTZ, PARE, AND OTHERS.
Mr. Earle, Mr. Humfrey, and Mr. Mellor appeared for
two other defendants.
The A TTORNEY-G ENERA L, in support of the rule, said
that the first question to which he should direct his alien-
:ion wa,, whether the Rector had acted properly or not,
for no one could have heard the arguments delivered this
day without seeing that, in fact, under the guise of defend-
ing those defend ants the Rector had been made the subject
of a violent and long-continued attack. In the first place,
then, he insisted that it was quite clear that the Rector
had the right to preside at any meeting held in the vestry.
The churchwardens were elected in vestry, and, conse-
quently, the Rector was the proper person to preside at
the election. The Rector had not in the present instance
exceeded his authority in presiding on that occasion. Neither
had he acted improperly in enforcing the observance of the
provisions of Sturges Bourne's Act. That mode of election
had been adopted in the preceding year. The show of
hands was illegal under that Act, and the votes would have
been thron.n away, had they been given in any way except
in obedience to its provisions. It was clear, therefore,
that when the defendants created a disturbance to defeat
the provisions of the Act, they had been guilty of a mis-
demeanour, fur which this Court would hold them respon-
sible. These facts being clear, there could be no doubt
that the rule now prayed for against these defendants ought
to be made absolute.
Sir IV. Foeem, on the same side, did not think it
necessary to enter into the disputed facts of the case, for
those which were undisputed were amply sufficient to call
on the Court to make this rule absolute.
Lord DENMAN, after the Judges had consulted for a few
moments, said that the Court could not avoid regretting
that there did not exist a rule of practice forbidding the
Court to grant criminal informations for riots, because in
all applications of this kind the number of matters con-
tested rendered it impossible to avoid discussing long,
embarrassing, and sometimes ent.tradictory affidavits. How-
ever, this case was now before the Court, and must be
disposed of ; raid Court felt little difficulty in decid-
ing it. it 'was quite clear that there had been a dis-
graeefol., if not an appalling riot ; and that, too, com-
rn'ated in a place where, of all others, the authority of
the law ought to be most respected. There had been
nut only a great riot and considerable uproar and vio-
lance, but there had been danger to the safety of indivi-
duals ; and it being important that, upon occasions of this
sort, when persons met with opposing interests and excited
feelings the laws should controul their behaviour, the Court
felt that there was no alternative but to make the rule ab-
solute. It was quite clear, from the statement of Mr.
Parc himself, that the election in the preceding year had
been taken under Sturges Bourne's Act. The defendants,,
therefore, could not have been taken by surprise by what
the Rector did, or otherwise surprise might have been some
excuse for the display of excited feelings. Under all the
circumstances, it was clear that these defendants were tak-
ing an active part in encouraging this—not when it most
fiercely raged ; and he thought that having heard this mat-
ter discussed the Court would not be doing its duty, and
contributing as it ought to the maintenance of the public
peace, if it did not sly that this rule for a criminal informa-
tion ought to be made absolute.—Rule absolute.
This case occupied the Court from its sitting till ten
o'clock at night.

THE EItAINTREE CASE.-TilE QUEE sl V. BURDEV,.
In the course of the day, the Attorney-General sug,gest-
cd that a declaration in p-ohibition might be delivered in
this case, and then the other side might plead or demur,
so as to raise the proper question on the record. When
that had been done, perhaps the Court, would, on account
of the great importance of the case, appoint a day before
the next Term for hearing it argued.
Lord DENMAN said th.it the Learned Counsel could
probably settic between themselves some other mole of
bringing the case, which undoubtedly was a most important
oae, at some early period before the Court.

BAIL COURT, Nor. 24.
On the sitting of the Court this morning the Bishop of
London, Lord Canterbury, the Earl of Clare, and the Hon.
Thomas Erskine, as members of her Majesty's Privy Coun-
cil ; Lord Willoughby D'Eresby, as Lieutenant of the
county of Carnarvon ; the Marquis of Exeter, as Lord Lieu-
tenant of the county of Northampton ; Sir William Horne,
anti se\ oral other of her Majesty's Counsel learned in the
law, severally took the oaths of allegiance and signed the
u ual declaration.

CRIMINAL INFORMATION FOR SENDING A CIIALLENGE.
Sir W. FOLLETT wa:: instructed to apply to the Court
for a rule calling upon Samuel Beachcroft, Esq., to show
cause why a criminal information should not be filed against
him for sending a letter to William Augustin Hyder, Esq.,
calculated to provoke tJat gentleman to commit a breach
of the peace.
Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—You may take a rule to show
cause.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nor. 24.

TIIONION V. GILL.

Mr. ALEXANDEP, appeared against a rule obtained in
this case by Mr. Wightman, calling on the plaintiff to show
cause why he should not pay defendant's costs in the ac-
tion, or ally the plaintiff's proceedings should not be set
aside, or why the plaintiff should not pay the costs of this
application. The plaintiff, an apothecary, has demanded
the ltun of ISt. 19s. Gd. from the defendant for attendance
and medicine supplied, and this sum contained an item of
11. 03. 6d., which the defendant had not refused to pay.
The plaintiff had then proceeded against him in the action,
when the defend:int paid the H. Os. Gd. into Court, which
sum the plaintiff took out in satisfaction of all demands.
Mr. Wightman had contended, in moving for his rule, that
a sort of vexatious fraud had been practised upon the de-
fendant, which had induced him to refuse the demand of
the plaintiff, so that the action was brought against him.
Mr. WIGILTMAN supported the rule.

The Court made the first part of the rule absolute, lut
left the costs of the present application to be paid by the
defendant.
