which the latter claim possession of the revenues of the
Church.

Dr. WISIMAN has made them sensible of this, by
declaring that he requires no other concessions than
those made by the authors of the "Tracts for the Times,"
to obtain the victory for Popery. To resist the
Papists, therefore, the Anglican priests are now
obliged to take up other arms, and the article quoted
by the Times, called " Popish tendency" of the
writings of those authors, denies in toto the authority
of tradition, and asserts that the Scriptures con-
tain all that was ever revealed and all that is
necessary to be known. Under the influence
of this new-bOrn zeal against tradition—which
does not leave for many of the doctrines of the Angli-
can priests the smallest support, the Reviewer de-
scribes Dr. PUSEY, the Regius Professor of Hebrew
at Oxford, and all his followers, who are called
Puscyites, as staunch friends of the Papacy. Asto-
nishment and anger are expressed that the Learned
Doctor is yet allowed to inhabit Oxford ; and the
Bishop of the Diocese, to whom a leaning to Pu-
seyism or disguised Popery is openly ascribed, is
taken severely to task for allowing the continuance
of the PUSEY profanations in his Diocese. Now
when the Anglican Bishops and the Oxford Pro-
fessors have turned almost Papists, there is good
reason for those true-hearted Protestants, the Editors of
the Herald and Times, sounding the tocsin of alarm,
and warning their lay readers against the impending
dangers of Popery.

We could not read the severe attack of the Church
of England Quarterly Review on Dr. PUSEY and
his friends, without remembering that this same Dr.
PUSEY was the leader of that bard of factious priests
who about eighteen months ago got up such a furious
opposition to Dr. HAMPDEN, at Oxford, and who to
this day will not admit him into all the privileges en-
joyed by former Professors of Divinity. Dr. PusEY
is now likely to taste some of the sweets of that perse-
cution he then directed against a brother divine ; and
it is very pleasing to us to see the same righte-
ous persons who assisted D►. PUSEY in oppos-
ing Dr. HAMPDEN, now practising their skill in
torturing on Dr. PUSEY himself. These gentlemen
in their quarrels and criminations, present us a curious
illustration of what kind of charity they learn from
the Gospel, and of the chaste uniformity of that faith
they call on us to adopt, and to pay them largely for
teaching.

`We are glad to see that the rigid Sabbatarians are
going the whole hog. At the Exeter Hall meeting
on Wednesday evening, as is stated by a Correspondent,
whose letter will well repay perusal, the Rev. Mr.
STOVELL censured her MAJESTY for taking an air-
ing on Windsor-terrace on Sunday, and censured the
Bishops for not teaching her MAJESTY that to pre-
serve her health was sinful. This is as it ought to be.
We hope Mr. STOVELL will pursue this plan, and
not allow her MAJESTY, or one of her Ministers, or
any Bishop or Peer, to take a ride, or have a dinner
cooked on the Sabbath. The public will get justice
when the rigid Sabbatarians begin to attack some of
those who are now smiling at their attacks on men of
business, and urging them on.

By the arrival at Liverpool yesterday of the packet
ship Hibernia from the United States, we have re-
ceived New York Papers of the 9th inst., from which
copious and interesting extracts will be found in
another part of The Sun. The Hibernia made the
passage to Liverpool in sixteen days. The intelli-
gence from the Canadas mainly consists of rumours of
preparations for fresh insurrectionary movements in
both provinces. We need hardly add, that we regard
such rumours as destitute of all foundation in truth.
From the United States, the news is more important,
and will be read with painful interest. Of the dis-
graceful proceedings at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
there can be but one opinion among all intelligent
men. The honest Reformers of every country will
more especially lament the perpetration of outrages
which are calculated to afford Royal despots a pretext
for opposing every extension of the liberties of the
people.

The whole of the French Papers published on
Wednesday have been received. They bring
the address prepared by the Committee of the
Chamber of Peers in answer to the Speech from
the Throne, which was presented by the Chairman
(Count PORTALIS) to the Chamber in the course of
Wednesday's sitting. As usual it is little more than an
echo of the Royal Speech ; but as the opposition in the
Chamber of Peers, though numerically weak, is strong
in talent, it will not he adopted without a long debate.
Upon some points the address is more explicit than
the corresponding paragraphs in the Speech. On the
subject of the state of unhappy Spain, the address
runs as follows :

" At the aspect of the calamities which weigh upon Spain,
and at the increase of the sad exchange of offences against
humanity, our regrets become every year more bitter. It is
sorrowful to think that we cannot yet foresee the epoch when
civil war and anarchy shall cease to paralyze the efforts of the
Spanish nation to obtain the benefits of a free and monarchical
Constitution. Sire, in continuing to accord to the Queen
Regent's Government the support guaranteed to her by
treaties, your Majesty will fulfil the desires and just expecta-
tions of France."

The expression of sympathy here is less dubious
than in the speech from the Throne. With regard
to the Hollando-Belgic question, the address confines
itself to observing :
" We await with confidence the issue of the negotiations
relative to the affairs of Belgium and Holland, persuaded that
the Government of your Majesty sill neglect nothing to con-
ciliate what the dignity of France, the interests of a friendly
nation, and promised faith requires. The independence of
Belgium, and its political rank, unanimously recognised in the
great European family, will be a pledge the more for the peace
of the world."
The Ministers begin to entertain hopes that they may
still contrive to command a majority in the Chamber
of Deputies. They boast of having received some ad-
ditional adhesions, and to make up the remaining de-
;cit all the arts of bribery and corruption will be put

irate requisition.
The news from Spain is unimportant. The Na-
tional Guard of Marseilles taxes the Government
with having received and suppressed the following tele-
graphic despatch :

" PERPIGNAN, DEC. 17,
" THE COMMANDANT OF THE 21ST DIVISON TO TUE MINISTER

OF WAR.
" The Baron de Meer had au action with the rebels at Sort
and Llavcrsi, on the 10 th and 12th inst., which ended in their
complete derout. The Count d'Espagne has beaten a re-
treat from his late quarters, taking the route of Castclli ar.d
Oraari "

.ew days will decide whether the French Chaim
her of Deputies be, like the Senate of BONAPARTE,
purely a Court for registering the acts of the Sovereign,
or an Assembly representing in any degree the wants
and interests of the people. Hitherto it has shown
little of the stubborn spirit and resistance to
the Monarch's will which an unreformed as
well as a reformed House of Commons has fre-
quently displayed. Here the King has generally been
obliged to yield to the feeling of the House, and either
change his policy, as GEORGE IV. did on the Ca-
tholic question, or change his Ministry as WILLIAM
