COMMON OIL • RENDERED EQUAL TO SPERM

OIL IN ALL LAMPS.
yO,UNG'S PATENT OXYDATOR, price
ts. 6d. ; effects at once this desirable object, and is
applicable ta-the burners of all lamps in present use. It
keeps up, by its own action, the requisite supply of oxygen in
the flame, and thus produces, without small or smoke, a power-
ful and unfailing light. As its use causes no greater con-
sumption of oil, prevents the breakage of glasses, retp,ires no
additional trouble of Management, nor -alteration of the lamp,
and the oxygen it stiulies costs nothing, a clear saving is thus
made of OA o-thirds in the expense of light.
Sold by W. Upton and Co., Agents for the Patent, 66, Ba-
singhail•street, Guildhall.
A lamp is kept burning to show the effect of the Ox3dator.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM TILE DAILY PAPERS OF lESTRIMAY•
(From the Times.)
Rumours which reached us during the course of last week
had prepared us for the probable result of the Bishop of Exe-
ter's motion. Lord.Bathurst's incurs oration of the trustees of
the Seminary of Nicolet in tt'2l appeared to the Duke of Wel-
lington to constitute a precedent for Lord Sydenham's incor-
poration of the ecclesiastics of the Seminary of St. eulpice in
1841 ; the discovery of a preeee'ent had the effect of setting all
questioes of principle at rest; and. the Bishop, deserted hi-these
whe-c encouragement had urged him on to call upon the Peers
of Great Britain to interfere in the ens?. was compelled, by
w:thdrawing his motion, to save I iniself from the mortifica-
tion of seeing it rejected. We must say, that upon this occa-
sion the C,,nservator leaders in the House of Lords do not seem to
us to have made a very creditable figure. We refer not so much
to the failu e of the Duke of Wellington's memory as to transac-
t ions in which he was officially engaged at. so late a period as 1833.
What strikes us as the painful feature in the case is, tl-at a
queStion which on Thursday, the 4th ink., was warmly taker[
up on grounds of principle, should have been aband ,ned on
Monday, the 15th for the sake of mere party considerations.
The Right Rev. Mover proceeded fromn-he first cautiously in
this matter, and save no notice et any motion upon the sub-
j. et till he had tounleci the House, and received from the most
influential quarter the strongest assurances of sueport. What
was the tone of the Duke of Wellington on the 4th inst. ? He
expressed his er ditude to the Bishop for bringing the matter
forward ; lie spoke cf Lord Sydenham'snrdinance with indig-
na i en, as an attempt to break in Open " the Protestant Con-
stitution of this country," as aneanzecedented departure from
the " principles of the Reforrnatien. ' The Bishop of Exeter
was emhol. cited (as who would not hive been ?) by these and
other strong cxpression3Of the iLtistrious Duke, to submit a de-
finite proposition on the subject, and we now Sc e the result. The
Duke has been convinced in the interval, not. that the ordinance
which moved' his inch gnation on Fe iday week is recencileable
with "the Protestant constitution -of she country," but only
that it it is net unprecedented; that the example of a similar
"departure from the principles of the Reformation" was ori-
ginally set 'by a Tory GoVernment, and thereupon all his indig-
nstion vanishes. Conduct, which would have been uneonsti-
tutioeal and illegal, if the Whigs had been the first to adopt
it, appears in a different, light when sanctified-by the associa-
tions of Toryism. Nei. is this the only weak point in the
speeeFof yesterday. We should have expected from a
s:atesman of his experience and sagacity a greater knowledge
of constitutional law than was determination in his determinain -to
regard the charter of the trustees of Nicelet as a precedent
for Lord Syd nham's incorporation cf the seminary of St.
" The ordinance," he said, "established the corpo-
ration of St. Sulpice almost in the S3lllO words as the patent
establishing- St. leicelet, which was as much an ecclesiastical
corporation as the other, being composed entirely of Roman
Catholic ecclesiastics and none other." Now this i; purely a legal
question, and Lord Lyndhurst,' or any other lawyer in the
Clouse, could have tell his Grace, that a corporation coins
posed entirely of Church of England ecclesiastics, for Church
of England objects, is not therefore an ecclesiastical corpora-
tion. The trustees of Nicola, in short, are as much a lay
corporation as the Lori Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of
the City of Loadon. But the ecclesiastics of St. Sulpiee, are
by Lord Sydenham's orAnance, expres,ly an 1 in terms
.erected into " an ecclesiastical or spiritual corporation, com-
nzunaute ceelesiastique.•' The Duke of Wellington has evi-
dentiy no idea of the importance of this distinction, which,
nevertheless, is a inn st real ore, and involves the whole ques-
tion wheth r the Roman Catholic is henceforth to be recog-
nized in Ca.nada as the State religion or not; we shall rather
soy, a; one of the State religion;; fur among other peculiari-
ties of this unhappy ordinance, it is the first overt act. by which
the British Government has sanctioned the establishment of
two State religions in one colony and at the same time.
The Duke cf Well:ngton seems to be alive to
the very serious detects of the ordinance upon the
sere of legality, arising from its conflict with the
recent acts of Parliament. relating to the government of
Canada; but strangely enough, he treated these defects as ad-
ditional reasons for urging the Bishop of Exeter to withdraw
his metion. We cannot sufficiently express our regret that a
question involving so many important points of law should
have come on for eiscuasion during the absence of the Learned
Judges on the Circuit. If ever there was an instance in which
the House of Lords had occasion for solemn consultation with
those grave authorities, it was assuredly this.
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
The Times continues its attacks upon Lord Ponsonby,
upon the assumption that all the harshness to be found in the
hatti scheriff was suggested by the personal enmity of our Am-
bassador. Nothing can be more groundless either than the
assumption or the inference drawn from it. In the first place,
that which is denounced as extreme rigour in the firman is so
denounced upon a misapprehension of its real object. We
yesterday quoted the argument of a French paper, an
organ of the Thiers party, which contends for the un-
conditional hereditary tenure, upon the ground that
such a tenure 'Mall.; sovereignty, and that conditions
are inconsinent with sevcreiglity. The argument is
perfectly ju't. Now, what has been from the begin-
ning the object of the policy of the Allies? Was it not to
prevent the establishment of a "sovereignty ?" If, then, the
Pachalie he unconditionally ceded en heredite, is not the object
defeated which the Times itself has been supporting for the last
twelve months? We repeat what we stated befere, that it is to
this article alone that Mehemet Ali decidedly objects; and the
chief ground of his objection ire understand to be, that he fears
it is directed against the succession of Ibrahim Pacha. So
far, however, from this apprehension being well-grounded, we
have it in our power to state, that woh the hatti scheriff
there came an amicable -communication, assuring the
Pacha that, from considerations which can be easily
appreciated, the Sultan would dispense with the
personal attendance either of Mehemet or of Ibra-
him, should he outlive him, at Constantinoie, in order to
be invested., o ith the Patehal:c. So that the succession of
Ibrahimlsnatitash.indireetly gueranteed. Nor do we enter-
tain the slightest doubt that the intention of the Sultan—which
is only to reserve to himself the appointment in case of the in-
fancy or incapacity of the leg:timate successor—will be ten-
dered sufficiently aistinet to appease all the apprehensions of
the Pacha. lie has, in fact, already accepted the hatti
scheriff, a,.d only prays a modification of some articles, which
it is net at all likely will be refused. It is a mere chimera of
the Times to supeo.e that any misunderstanding is likely to
result upon this affair amongst the European Powers. To this
objection a very little thou will give the most satisfactory reply
that can be offered.
(From the Globe.)
That the Bishop of Exeter and the Times have been
most cavalierly thrown overboard by " the Conservative
leaders in the House of Lords" in the matter of the St.
Sulpice Seminary, is a fact justly prosocaCve of the
ire of Bishop, Reporter, and Editor. The Right Rev.
Prelate must henceforth rank as a Gentleman of the
Press. To the great horror of the dignified assembly
in which he sits, he communicatss documents to
the Times reporter, and reads the reporter's notes in
reply. Perhaps the Right Reir. Prelate thinks that, in'
these times of advancing Popery, it is well for him to
have two strings to his bow, and, in ca c of expulsion
from his diocese by papal persecution, to tike -refuge
from Smithfield in Prineng House-square. We do
not say it as a me-e compliment ; but we really know
no services which would be more valuable to the v O-
perative part of the press than the Bishop of Exeter's.
If a period of persecution should come, such as tries
men's souls, the Right Rev. Prelate's soul would prove,
upon trial, in far better harmony with the duties of a
certain sort of journalism than with those of episcopacy.
Odimus accipitrent, quiz maier tiivit is arinis—and
such appears to be, pro tty generally, the sort of anti-
pathy excited by Vie Bishop of Ex, t-r's constant itch
of religious discord. It is drlghtful to see him left in
the lurch, as he was last night. " We most say,'
quoth the Times, " that upon this occasion. the Con-
servative leaders in the House of Lords do not seem t
us to have made a very credit able figure." Of course
not; they were blasphemously arrayed against the
Bishop of Exeter, the Tunes reporter, nay the 'Pi/ries
itself. A discreditahle figore must have been made
by somebody ; aid it is obvious that it was much less
likely to be made by the Times, and its Bishop, than by
Lord Ripon, the Duke of Wellington, the " Conser-
vative leaders," in short, and the Lords generaly. To
speak seriously, we are greatly pleased with the frank-
ness and good sense of tl:e speeches of Lord Ripon aid
. the Duke of Wellington.
(From the Standard.)
The House of Lords has virtually decided upon
revoking the Protestant Reformation, as far as the
united provinces of Canada are concerned. The
House of Lords will before long have abundant
reason to reflect upon this step. Let their Lordships
call to mind the position which they •occup'e 1 in public
opinion in 1830, and then count back the months be-
tween that year and th&r first defection from Protea-
tent principles. This short ea'culation may help them
to an estimate of their place in pablle respect and con-
fidence about the year 1843. Whoever has rm.; our
ren.arks upon the expected debate of list night in the
Standard, of yesterday, and in shine preceding numbers
of this paper, must acknowledge that we anticipated
fully what has occurred. We were not deceived. The
past has not been lost upon us. We have too often
seen the fires lighted, the pickets put into ac-
tivity, all the preparations for a decisive onward
movement (to borrow a military illustration), as the
prelude to a retreat—we have too often seen these
things not perfectly to understand their mean-
ing. But enough of this ; " the blow at the " Protes-
tant Reformation " has been struck ; and it matters
little whether it is the first blow that the Fret's-
tent Reformation has received, since it is the first blow
struck by the House of Lords. That is the matter
for their Lordships' consideration, anal for the
consideretion of the country—for we suppose neither
their Lordships nor any of us are responsible for
the small strokes ir.flictsel in private by Lord
Bathurst or his successor's—strokes so small and
so obscure that they seem to have been unnwiced
at the time, or forgotten as soon as administered.
We have the fact acknowledged, that this ordinance of
St. Sulpice is " a blow at the Protestant Reforma-
tion." These words stand unretracted, and the ques-
tion remains for the public, whether the_ House of
Lords ought to sanction tl e striking of this blow ?
(From the Courier.)
The Select Committee on Rsilways met yesterday,
