as distinct sects of Christians. When the isms are
so numerous, and such large rewards are thrown
into the lap of the most favoured ism, we cannot
be surprised that the priests of each should ear-
nestly wish to secure the dominancy of their own
ism by enforcing it on all men as a duty to em-
brace it, without examination. Hence their bit-
ter and slanderous attacks, according to the Post,
on each other, and hence their fierce resentment
against all who question their right to dictate the
creed of mankind. Hence, too, their jealousy of
power, and their determination, as in -the case of
Church-rates, to keep hold of everything they
can grasp.

PRUSSIA wants to rest3re a Chivalrous order he
must follow this example of the SULTAN. His
new Knights may then think it worth their whi!e
to make a display of spurious chivalry such as
the age will tolerate.
The SULTAN has granted a firman for the pro-
tection of the. Christians of Syria and Damascus.
The French Ambassador at the Porte, and the
Consuls in Syria, have received instructions to
watch over the execution of this firman. Russia
is adequate to the protection of the Greek Chris-
tians within the dominions of the Ottoman Porte.

SwrrzEttl,AND.—( From the private corcespondcnce of the
Constitutionnet)
6. BERNE, APRIL 1., FOUR ,O'CLCv IC IN THE AFTERNOON.
—The first article of the project of the Committee has teen
accepted by the strictly necesary majority of twelve votes."
This article is conceived in the following terms :—" The
decree of the Great Council of the canton of Argoyia, of the
18th of January. which supp,.esse, a'l the convents in its
territory, is declared to be incompatible with the 12th article
of the Federal Com; act.

When the painful conviction of so many errors
in religion is forced on the mind, it cannot avoid
remembering that in those branches of know-
ledge in which inquiry is perfectly free, such as
geometry and natural history, there is no
high truth and no low truth as opposed
to each other—no Romish truth and no
Presbyterian truth, but only one truth, which
was the same in Greece, two thousand years ago,
in the time of EUCLID and ARCHIMEDES, as in
London at this day; and is the same now in Lon-
don, when propounded by Mr. FARADAY, as
in Stockholm, when explained by i3ERZELIUS, and
at New York, when it appears in the pages of
Silliman's Journal. Mankind require to be
satisfied how it is that there is only one truth
in science, which men discover by successive ob-
servations,, while there are so many contrAtic-
tory truths in religion, which has been revealed
in order that all doubt and error and con-
troversy might be at an end. The gentlemen
at Oxford and elsewhere, who now wish, it is
said, to hush up this controversy, will find the
beginning of their strife is as the letting out of
the waters.

Four articles remain to be discussed, on two of which it is
thought there will be no majority.—Le Constitutionnet.
We have received the following letter from Toulon of the
30th of March :

"Yesterday evening orders were given to the Mediterranean
squadron to prepare to put to sea with all speed. A great
bustle was immediately manifested in the port. Every exer-
tion was made to deliver to the ship under the command of
Rear-Admiral Hugon, tte articles of which they are in want.
At this moment three ships of the line, the Ocean, bearing
Admiral Hugon's flag, the Suffren, and the Scip:on, are ready.
Only ten or twelve can be sent to sea, the others being on the
coast of Africa, or under repair in the port."
The squadron will go to exercise the crews off the Theres
Islands. It seems that this measure has been solicited by
Admiral. Hugon, in order to give some eclat to the impa-Lnt
command which has been confided to him, and which is a real
sinecure. When we reflect on the enormous expense abso-
lutely thrown away, which the maintenance of this formidable
squadron cost France, and with which so much might be done
for the honour and interest of the country, one is grieved to
the heart. Our road hss been covered with ships for seven or
eight months; one would say that our naval force hides it wit
while the English squadrons act boldly at every point, to the
great prejudice of our commerce and of our legitimate influ-
ence.—Le Courrier Francais.

We insert a useful and important letter on
public meetings, and entirely agree with the
writer that we cannot forego our right to hold
public meetings without endangering the public
liberties. Perhaps, however, these words have
no longer any charms for an Englishman's ear,
and he seems not unwilling to barter liberty for
ease. As a matter of calculation, that appears
to us a mistake ; for no persons are less at ease,
and less secure, than those whose lives and for-
tunes are held at the mercy of others.
Our Correspondent suggests a method by which
public meetings may be safely held, but they
would derive a great additional safety, were the
middle classes to feel any interest in holding
them. They are numerous enough, and influen-
tial enough, to secure the peace of any meeting-
they may desire to call, if they will only attend;
but the truth is, that the middle classes no longer
take much interest in political matters, and de-
vote their energies to purstits which they regard
as more agreeable. They see that on every public
occasion there are too many orators, that too much
is said and too little dune, and they will not
waste their time to grace the triumph of a few
practised speakers. We are afraid that till the
whole machinery of public meetings is altered,
till they are more local and more confined, each
one to some small section of the community,
giving a fair chance of distinction to each rival
orator, there is but little chance of their being
again a commensurate organ for expressing pub-
lic opinion.

PRIVY COUNCIL,-(THIS DAY ).

Madrid Papers, of the 29th ult., have reached
us. They do not contain a syllable of news of
any interest. The friends of ESPARTERO were ex-
ceedingly active in promoting the sole Regency.
ESPARTERO'S command of the army will induce
thany to vote for him for fear of some new re-
volutionary stir among the troops.

Letters from Athens, of the 23d of February,
confirm the news previously received of the ap-
pointment of M. MAVROCORDATO, the enlight-
ened and liberal Minister of Greece at the Court
of London, to the office of President of the
Council of the new Cabinet. M. MAVROCOR-
DATO is to be succeeded in the Embassy by M.
TRICUPI, whose name is favourably known in
this country. We rejoice for the sake of the
people of Greece, at the appointment of M.
MAVROCORDATO to the Presidency of the Coun-
cil. He is an honest and an enlightened man,
and of such men there are few to be found at
the Court of King OTHO. His task, if he dis-
charge his duty to Greece, will be indeed
difficult. He must first drive out of the
country the hordes of hungry Bavarians
who devour, like so many locusts, every
" green thing "—every place and appoint-
ment at the disposal of the Executive. He

Perhaps some doubts may be entertained of
the propriety of our Correspondent's suggestion,
that the presiding Mayor, being a Magistrate,
should cause those who decline to obey his de-
cision as to conducting the business of the meet-
ing, to be removed by the civil power. It would
deprive public meetings of much value, if such a
practice were to be frequently adopted. All public
meetings like the House of Commons should be
responsible for their own police ; and as the
majority of that House can overset all rules laid
down for their guidance, so in public meetings a
majority should be, and necessarily must be,
supreme for the time being. We will not enter
further into the subject, but we hope that our
Correspondent's letter will induce those who
cherish the public liberties to take up the sub-
ject, and not allow public meetings, which are
one of their best safeguards, to be put down,
either by a lawless mob or an arbitrary
Magistrate.

must next take measures for breaking the abso-
lute sceptre of the Royal Idiot to whom modern
statesmen entrusted the Government of Greece,
by giying_and securing a Constitution to his

country. He must utterly abolish the torture,
and to the utmost of his powers suppress the
Slave Trade. If he suffer himself to be made
the dupe of the intriguers who surround his im-
becile Sovereign lie is lost. King OTHO'S grand
hobby is absolute power—a power which he
wants the capacity to employ other than mis-
chievously when in his hands. M. MAvuocou-
DATO'S hour of trial is come. The steamer
that has to convey him to Greece has already.
arrived, and. it will be now seen whether he is
adequate to the achievenients which his bleeding
and oppressed country demands of Lis patriotism.
Nowhere, save in Spain, is th 6 1 resence of a
master-spirit more wanted than in Greece.

MONEY and COLUMERCIAL NEWS

In our City Article will be found an extract of
a letter from Canada, which exaggerates, we are
persuaded, both the inimical disposition, and the
power of the American mob. We see in art
Evening Contemporary, letters and remarks of a
similar description, and we notice them here to
caution our readers not to trust implicitly to the
descriptions given in American papers, or in
Canadian letters. As far as we see, every possible
precaution has been taken by the American Go-
vernment, in despatching General SCOTT with • a
force to the frontier, to ensure the due observance
and the due execution of the law, which is all
that we can ask or expect. Those who are in
the neighbourhood of the events, hear and circu-
late and magnify a multitude of rumours, which
become very mischievous when circulated and
believed in England.

We have received the French Journals of
Sunday. Lord GRANVILLE continued seriously
indisposed. His complaint is gout—one of those
peculiar diseases which meet with more sympa-
thy in palaces than in parish-workhouses, not-
withstanding that the latter are by much the
more numerous. Lord GRANVILLE is, however,
exceedingly and deservedly popular in Paris, and
at post hour on Sunday the British Embassy was
crowded with anxious visitors. The answer to
all inquiries was that his Excellency was no
better than on the preceding day. We are
happy to state, on the authority of a private
letter, that the life of the Noble Earl is consi-
dered in no danger.
The Chamber of Peers did nothing on Satur-
day but receive the Repo, t of the Committee on

that measure. M. HVMANN then laid the Bill

This is the age of steam and toinmette, not of
chivalry, and when the spirit of such institutions
as the Order of St. John is dead the resuscita-
tion of their externals is little better than a
mockery of common sense. Chivalry; if indeed
it can be said to be alive at the invention of gun-
powder, fell before the first shot of the match-
lock—its very ashes were pulverized to atoms,

They are sought by merchants because they ap-
pear to indicate the possession of wealth by the
head of the firm. Sir JOHN RETAILTAPE and

a share-list, for which subscribers are wanted,
than mere Mr. Jonsr RETAILTAPE, linen-draper
and slop-seller, of No. 5, Mutton-broth-lane. The
prefix of " Sir " is also a better passport to matri-
mony and a dowry than " Mr.," which may
belong to somebody, every body, and
no_

lerman Wciti4 had taken an active part; and it wont' teeth
hat his exertions silefe tiptiielved et by Miss, Wood, the sister of
he testator, who on that account deiiised td him a
house in the city. of Gloucester. It was, then, fof
the first Wile Alderfnaii Weiftl became acquainted with James
Wood, the testator. The testator becaiite ultimately much
attached to him, and through hit instrumentality Mt. Alder-
man Weidd wiii crude itiember df the Corporation of Chin-
cester. Two of this gentleman's claugliterS bad tifilsequently
married in Gloucester, one to a gentleman named 3laddy, acrd
the testator becafhe godfather of , one of her children. The
testator was so much pleased with Mb AklermFn Wood, that
'he assigbed td hire an estate called ifitbetiery Court,
near Ohiiict,.Aer; and there Alderman Wood had re-
sided at the time of testator t istaw it was
allowed on all hands that these four persons possetied
the prine!pel Confidence and affection of the testator. On the
2d December; 1834, the first testamentary paper was signed
by the testator: it was not,attested by any witness, but it was
afterwards refrirtql id. by a dOentitent that vim§ attested. That
document was in the handwriting a felt, Chiciboiri,iinel there-
lure was thrown upon him the onus of showing that the t.,stator
.was acquainted 3vith its ebtitents. , but their Lordships wouldsee
lhat in this case it was impossible that any prufesSional man could
have been em ployed besides Mr. Chadborn. This doetifrlet Wits
indorsed " Instructions for the will of one James Wood, of
Gl. ucester." Their Lordships would allow him to observe that
althoiigh ‘i IttittfietiOns4" thjs,deaument was of
itself a subs!antive will. By this &actin-Alt teltator desired
the four gentlemen above named not only to take pegiaiien
of his property, but to retain to themselves all I.is Money and.
senurities fur money, subject to payment of his
just delfts; sled ifuch legggiei at he tfi;ght thereafter make.
This was a perfect will of the peisonal protieity d the, teststor.
It had never been alleged that this was not the gentiind dociiL
ment. It happened that on the day after the date of this docu-
ment the testator Was considerably indisposed. There was a
person named Ann Lewis, in 4hqm reposed great con-
tidence, who had resided many years in th 6 iervidi of his
cousin, and who had promised him at any time lie
was seriously indisplsed to come and take care of him.
•he happened to be in his house on the 3d of December, and
testator desired her to go to Mr. Chadbora and fetch him to
hie house. She went accordingly, arid Mr. Chadborn came,
and at his reqtiest testator signed the second document of the
3d of December, 1834. • It was attested as " signed and pub-
lished by the said testator, as and for his will in our
presence, Edward Swan, Ann Lewis, William Veile."
These other persons were the clerk and coachman
of Mr. Chadborn, and were calved on as subscribing witnesses,
the testator having twice read over the document in their pre-
sence. He should shortly show their Lordships repeated re-
cognitions of this testammt, even up to the SaturJay previous
to the death of the testator on Wednesday the 20th of April.
There recognitions, which were proved beyond all suspicion,
were confirmed by Mrs. Goodlake, who was that day re-
presented by his Learned Fr:end, Mr. Wigram, and un-
less his Learned Friend would sta'e that his client

controverted. Things went on in this manner until the 17th

against the decree of the Tribunal of Firit Ins!ance, which had
condemned him to a fine for refusing to give evidence con-
cerning fee's which had come to his knoeledge in the exercise
of his eccles.astical functions, the Court has quashed the d -
cree, and declared the Bishf p discharged of the fine. One of
his dergy, who had al,o refused to pe evidence in the lame
case on strallar -grounds, and had beon fined, and who had
lodged an appeal, was judged by the Court not to hive esta-
blished sufficient cause for overturning the decision of the info,

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(THIS DAY).

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE•

The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day in
the Council Chamber, Whitehall, for the purpcse of hearing
the important appeal from the decision of Sir Herbert Jenner
with respect to the will of the late Mr. James Wood, of Glou-
, cester. The Lords present were—Lord Lyndhurst, the
Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Baron Parke,
and Sir J. Littledale.
Among the legal gentlemen emp!oyed are the Attorney-
General, the Solicitor-General, Sir Wm. Follett,
.Sir F. Pol-
lock, Mr. Wigram, Mr. Pemberton, Dr. Phillimore, and several
other gentlemen. The case, it is generally understood, will
occupy to the first day of Term in argument.
WOOD AND OTHERS 0. eoonLARIE ARn nITCAINOS.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, at the sitting _of their Lord-
ships, proceeded to address them on the bekalf of the appel'aets.
The case, he said, came before their Lordships upon appeal from
the decision of the Prerogative Court. In tie year 1836 there
were propounded in that Court three testamentary papers, dated
Dee. 2 and 3, 1834, purporting to be the wel of Mr. James Wood,
' of Gloucester, by which he nominated four persons as his exe-
cutors of his personal and real property. Those papers were
propounded by his executors as containing the last will arid tes-
tament of James Wood. There was afterwards propounded a
codicil bearing date in April, 1835, but there was no day of
that month named. These papers led to lengthened proceed-
ings in the Ecclesiastical Court, and the Learned Judge by his
decree pronounced against the papers. The Learned Counsel,
after expressing the satisfaction he felt at the present constitu-
tion of the'Court,:and protesting against its being supposed to be
the law of England that a party who had been the Counsel in a
cause could not sit as a Judge in that cause; proceeded to say that
he felt the difficulty of the task he had to per form, namely, that of
impugning the judgment of a Judge of such learning, patience,
.andability as Sir Herbert Jenner,butlebelieved,notwithstanding
those difficulties, he should be able to show their Lordships that
that Learned Judge was in error, and that the conduct, the
highly improper conduct, of some of the parties had led him in
his indignation to pronounce a judgment that he otherwise
would not have done. It was now necessary to see what the
questions were which their Lordships were called upon to de-
ter mine. There was no question as to the competency of the
testator ; it-was admitted that he was in full Possession of all his
faculties, that he was a shrewd man, and that down -to the last
hour of his life he was perfectly capable of managing his own
affairs. 'l here was no question, either, of undue influence ;
all the papers that had been propounded. were, if genuine,
voluntary and spontaneous, and the only question, therefore,
was, whether the documents that had been presented for pro-
bate were genuine or not, and what, in point of law,
Was the effect of them. If they were genuine, and prima facie
made a wid, of which his client was entitled to probate, the
question then would be,:were there any rebut them ? He
thought he should be able to show, beyond all controversy, that
these were genuine dicuments signed by the testator, w ith a
full knowledge of their contents. He would now lay before
their Lordships a short outline of the facts of the case. The
testator James Wood was a native of Gloucester ; his grand-
father had settled there in 1716. Ho opened a bank theme,
called the Old City Bank. 'He was succeeded in that business
by the father of the testator, who carried on the same business
there down to 1793. The testator afterwards carried on the
same business there, but in a peculiar manner, and he was a
little shopkeeper at the same time. He' was a barker, a
draper, and an undertaker, and. down to the last year of his
life, when he was worth a million of money, he attended rs un-
dertaker at the performance of funera's. He died a bachelor,
and the only relations he had were two sisters, one of whom
was married and the other not. The testator was of the
most parsimonious habits, hie establishment consisted of two
maid servants, an apprentice, and a shopman. It appeared
that the master and men slspt in the same bed-room, and
that all the family eat together. Bylthese habits, and the we lth
left him by his father aid grandfather, his own wea'th
become enorm-,us, and at the time of his death his personal
pr.iperty amounted to upwards of 800,000/, and Ifs real to
more than 100,000/. Both the sisters of the testator and a
cousin named Ellis died before the testator, and upon the oc-
casion of the death of Ellis, the; testator had been heard
to declare that he had no relation then left but thirty-third'
cousi-.s. There was one cousin on the mother's side, of the
name of Mrs. Good!ake, whom he recognised, and wi,h whom
he was vert intimate, and there was also another cousin, named
Hitchings. Carrying on the business of a banker; and having
no partner, and being acikaneed in years, some of the customers
who kept aeectints ith him were a little uneasy at the pros-
pect of his death, because einbarrasSrnents might arise if he
left no representative. This was urged upon him, and it was
possible that, if it had not been for the supposition that he
should lose one or two accounts, he would have died intestate.
Under these circumstances, and being indisposed in December
1834, he made the testamentary disposition which their. Lord-
ships were now called upon to decide the validity of. The
principarobjects of his affection at that tithe wore the four
individuals whom he afterwards named his executors. Josiah
Osborne had been aid apprentice of his, and had resided with
h:m ler more than forty years. The testator placed the most
unbounded edntelence in him, and was greatly attached to hint.
AnOthee apprentice was the testator's cousin, Mr. John
Surman who was, up to the time of his death, a tnern,
ber of his family, and who was the second executor. The
third was Mr, John Chadhorn, an eminent solicitor hi Glou-
cester, Whd had lean for rugby years the confidential attorney
and agent of Mr. Wood, who had 111antigeti all Ifs business,
,nd had ingratiated himself with the testator, .how or to what
extent it Mattered net; that pit being the question, but whether
Mr. Wood did make him his executde arid rigt4rit. The fourth
executor was Mr. Alderman Wood, a gentleman who, although
of the same name, was no relative of the testator, who had
never seen him Until thd yel4 1824, Irethe year 1820 there •
had occurred what was now an historical evfiiit, iii which Al.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Hotßoyn.)

IN TOE MATTER. OF MESSRS. ROBINS AND WILLIAMS

The bankrupts were the extensive and well known carrier.;
of London-wall. The case had been already frequently inves-
tigated before the Court, and proceedings touching the estate
were perid;ng in Chancery.
A long discussion was entered into concerning the transfer
of certain debts due to the bankrupts, and effected by them to
Me,srs. Dixon, bankers, of Chancery-lane, for moneys ad-
vanced, in which the solicitor to the fiat, the official assignee,
with several creditors and their legal advisers, took part, but it
was without public interest.
Mr. edwards, the official assignee, haVing stated that he
considered the balance sheet now before the Lord Commis-
sioner to be as perfect as circuTstances sduiitted, the bankrupts
were allowed to pass their final examination, the dividend
being adjourned sine die, as the- Chancery suit prevents the
assigr.ees from interfering with the bankrupt's assets.

CRIM)NAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER.
James M Carthy, 17, described as a labourer, and John
M' Carthy, 44, wine merchant, were indicted for having c)n-
spired to derraud several parties of goods under false pretences.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Jones
for the prisoners.
The case was somewhat similar in its nature to the one tried
yesterday.
It appeared, from the evidence of a large number of
witnesses. that the elder prisoner had taken the premises, 14,
Queenhithe, in the month of July last, from a person named
Cox. Het:2d a counting-house, and the younger prisoner, his
son, acted apparently as clerk. Several tradesmen had re.
ceived orders for goods, ranging from 305., to 4/. or 51., and
in one instance, .where a shawl and muff had been obtaim-d
from a tradesman, it was immediately afterwards pawned by
the elder pri,onor. The goods had been sent to the counting..
house, where the younpr prisoner received them by a
statement that Mr. M'Carthy had gone to the docks, and that
it was all 'right, generally inducing the parties to leave the
goods. The apprehension of the prisoner took place under
rather singular circumstances. He had been found in the
street in a state of drunkenness, and was taken to the p dice-
office, where he was recognised by a policeman at the party for
whom he had been some time on the look out, and was given
in charge for the present offence.
Mr. JONES addressed the Jury at considerable length on be-
half of the prisoner.
•
The Learned RECORDER having summed up
The Jury immediate'y returned a verdict of—Guilty against
both the prisoners. _ _ _

Forro4

The Learned JUDGE said the prisoners hsi been severally
found guilty of a conspiracy, and there could be no moral doubt
o f their guilt. With regard to the youngerprisoner, he appeared
to have been a very zealous and active partisan of the eider pri-
soner, although necessarily somewhat under his influence. .fhe
ser.tenee of the Court was, that the elder prisoner be co n.
mitred to Giltiipur street Compter for nine calendar months,
and the younger for three calendar months.

lying on board a brio- called the Jane, in the Illy, r.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was Fenteneed to twelve
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) •
William Rose and Henry White were indicted for stealing
eight bust,els of mixed feed, called horse provender, the pre-
rerty of James 13m,0n, their ma-ter.
Air. Ballantine stated the case for the prosecution. ➢lr.
Payne defended the prisoners. •
1 he evidence went to show, that the prisoners were carters
and had the charge of valuable horses, who-e quantity of feed
was regulated according to the length of the journey they had
to per:orm. On the day named in the indictment two sacks•
containing each four bushels of feed, were found in the posses-
sion of the prisoners, beyond the ordinary delivery. The
evidence appeared to be conclusive, and the prisoners were
found guilty.
Mr. BALLANTANE said that he was fearful the system had
been carried on to a great extent, for the horses which cost
from fifty to sixty guineas were almost starved, and rendered
incapable.
Ihe COURT observed on the enormity of the offence to-
wards their employers, as well as its cruelty to his cattle, and
expressed a doubt whether the sentence it was about to lass
would be an adequate punishment. That sentence was that
they be kept to hard labour for six calendar months in the
House of Correction.
