part of The Sun. It is worthy of the creed he
teaches. He carries out his own principles of
blind obedience to his superiors in the Church,
and crouches before a Bishop with extreme ser-
vility. He can have no genuine convictions, or
he could not so resign them at a Bishop's orders.
But he does not even wait fur an order; " an ex-
iression of his Lordship's wish would be suffi-
cient to make him at once obey." "A Bishop's
lightest word, ex cathedra, is heavy. His judg-
ment on a book cannot be light." Mr. NEW-
MAN, therefore, who has impugned the Articles
of the Church, the Liturgy, and the Homilies,
falls submissive at the feet of a living Bishop.
He seems to have made all this uproar in the
Church for fun. He does not care about abso-
lution and confession; he does not think the
Church of Rome the only one which is entrusted
with the keys; he has asserted these doctrines
out of vanity, or from a love of mischief, not
from conviction. The letter may, however, be a
piece of hypocrisy, as the Standard, which is no
doubt an excellentjudge, from intimate acquaint-
ance, of the character of our priests, insinuates
in the following passage:—

.17r. Newman has a.:ldressed a letter to the Bishop. of Oxford,
promising that the " Tracts for the Times" shall be discon-
tinued. So tar so well ; and if the letter had not been-praised
we should stop here ; hut, as we ferl that Mr. Newman and
his followers have obtained undue reputation for talent and
learning by the help of flatterers, and under shelter of the
charity, or neglect, of those who judge impartially, we must
say that we think the letter a most contemptible production.
We know to what we expose ourselves by avowing this opi-
nion ; but we must speak the truth when we think the
truth useful or n-cessary. The letter is ungritm-
m.tical in structure, creeping and affected in style, and in
tone it is characterised with that mixture of fawning and low
sneering, which is the very reverse of manliness. Air. New-
man's purpose rretty plainly is, while l e affects the utmost
reverence and submission, to charge upon his diocesan a gross
inconsistency in first encouraging the Tracts, and then con-
demning them—a charge which we have every reason to be-
lieve to be unfounded.

Mr. Neuman says nothing of the Bishop of Oxford's and
the Vice-Chancellor's admonition some time ago. No, he is
much too meek to be candid.

The Puseyites will be much lowered in public
estimation by so readily yielding their convic-
tions to authority. One thing, at least, is quite
certain, that servile priests, who submit with all
the docility of well-trained Jesuits to the orders
of their superiors, are totally unfit to be the in-
structors of a free people.

The preliminary meeting of the Deputies of
the Anti-Corn-law League to prepare for holding
a Great General Meeting in London is to take
place on the 15th instant. We have of late heard
so little on this subject, that we were almost
afraid the League- had given it up, and we'are
gratified with the re-assurance this piece of in-
telligence has afforded us. W e will in the
mean time do what we can to prepare
the Londoners to give them a hearty and
even an enthusiastic reception. The cause of
abolishing the Bread-tax ought to unite in its
favour all but the landlords and their vassals.
To prepare for this meeting, let the Corn-law
repealers of the metropolis at once extend their
local Anti-Corn-law. Associations; let them get
up numerous petitions for the repeal of the
Bread-tax, and appoint from each local Associa-
tion a deputy to attend the great meeting, and
so swell its numbers that it shall be hailed as
the representation of millions of the people.

The Paris journals of Thursday have al.
reached us. With the exception of the Quo.

tidienne, a Royalist, and the Commerce, a Ra-
dical paper, the Journals are all in extacies about
the success of the Fortifications' Bill. They 'are
filled with a transport of joy at the prospect of
having freedom of discussion—the liberty of the
Press—and the countless Republican institutions

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The supply being but moderate, the best Beef sold readily
at 2d. per stone advance. Veal sold well at former rates.
Small Pork sold well at ss. 2d., but large and coarse quali-
ties were a heavy sale at rather lower prices. Beef, 3s. d.
to 4s. Bd. ; Mutton, 3s. 10d. to ' ss. 2d. ; Veal, 4'. Bd. to
ss. Bd. ; and l'ork, 3a. 10d. to ss. 2d. Game and Poultry in
good supply ; trade was rather lively, and prices much about
the same as last quoted. Eggs in large supply at 41. 6d. to 6s.
par 120 for English.
lIITECH APEL MARKET.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The supply was short, and the meat sold very dear, and the
demand far exceeded the supply. Beef, 2s. Bd. to 4s. 4d ;
Mutton, 2s. Bd. to 4s. 10d. ; Veal, as. 41 to ss. 6d. ; Pork,
4s. to ss. 2d.: Lamb, ss. Bd. to is. per stone. Clover,

which surround the French Monarchy—secured
by two thousand pieces of cannon and a garrison
of eighty thousand regular troops ! When that
period arrives, there will be glorious times for
the National and the Republican party who
support it. Then may the Republicans laugh to
scorn threats of foreign invasion. No Calmuc
horde can then bivouac in the streets of Paris.
Sheltered by two thousand pieces of cannon, the
National may safely bid defiance to what has
not, and, we trust never will have an existence—
a coalition against France. But, before thz.,. walls
are up, it would be just as well if the writers hi
the National, and the bulk of its readers, were
to make a journey to St. Petersburg, to take a
few lessons in loyalty at the Court of the Czar.
We are quite serious upon this head. They ought
also betimes to educate their children in the
principles of the Imperial Catechism, which re-
cognizes as next to the Deity, and second only to
that Divine Being as an object of human wor-
ship, the sacred person of the CZAR. If the Re-
publicans neglect this, they will discover to their
cost that the walls will be more formidable to
them than to the enemies of France. If they
want to dwell peaceably under shelter of the two
thousand pieces of cannon they cannot too soon
purge themselves of their old notions about equal
rights, the sovereignty of the people, and such
other odd fancies as produced the revolution of
July. There must be no babbling about
the violation of the charter—no hints thrown out
about the undue influence of the Crown—no
muttered complaints concerning the corruption
of the Government, the servility of the Cham-
bers, or the inconvenience of-a libel law tanta-
mount to a Russian censorship. The Repub-
licans, to keep their heads upon their shoulders,
must discover the KING, the Cabinet, the Court,
the Chambers, and the Magistracy, to be re-
spectively models of perfection, to be studied
and imitated by all Potentates, Governments,
Parliaments, and Judicial functionaries in the
world. Having made this discovery, and being
prepared on all occasions to proclaim it
in the ears of France, the National and its
party might contrive to live in Paris without
the risk of having the stability of their domi-
ciles tested by an occasional 24-pound shot from
the nearest battery.
The ordinary. Madrid mail brings papers to
the 25th ult. Their interest, however, is taken
away by the following telegraphic despatch,
which appears in Thursday's Moniteur
.4 MADRID, MARCH 28.
" THE CHARGE DE AFFAIRES OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER

OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" The Cortes constituted themselves to-day. M. Ar-
guelles was elected President, by a majority of 118 votes
against 6."
There is no other news of political interest in
the .I,ournas of Thursday. We subjoin a few
extracts from them :
A letter from Brussels of 30th March says—" M.te Meule-.
naere arrived here this morning, and is to go in the evening to
wait on his Majesty, who wishes to consult him on the difficult
situation in wich the Government is placed. If this statesman
is willing to undertake the formation of a new Cabinet, the
King will accept the resignation of his present Ministers. M.
de Meulertaire is a Minister of State and Governor of Flanders.
M. de Meulenaere was the head of the last Catholic Admi-
nistration. His return to office would be the signal of the
triumph of the party of the priests in Belgium. The dissolution
of the Chamber of Representatives, and new electors under
the Influence of the clerical party, would be the consequence of
M. de Meulenaere's accepting office.—Le Constitutionnel.
We have said. that Baron Mortier had orders to return to his
post immediately after the Fortification Law should be voted;
his departure is said to be in consequence of communications
made to our Government by the Court of Vienna,•which, anti-
cipating a dissension among the Deputies to the Helvetic Diet
on the affairs of Argau, is supposed to have resolved to station
a cordon of troops on the frontiers of Switzerland.
We read in a private letter from Switzerland, that a very
warm conversation had taken place between Baron Kendetrr.
the Russian Minister, and the Avoyer Neuhaus, after which
the Rmsian Minister despatched a courier to St. Petersburgh.
‘‘ What is the most extraordinary," says this letter, " is that
the English Minister, who at the beginning appeared to take
no concern in the matt&, has just joined his counsels to that of
the other Powers, so that it should seem as if a new Treaty,
like that of July 15, was going to be concluded against the nil-
offensive Swiss Confederation. "—Le Commerce.

MR. WILLIAM TOOKE.—A Correspondent
sug-
gests that we omitted to notice one c onsnpicuous
feature of this gentleman's recent letter,
that he bids for the support of the Tories,
tering to do their dirty work, and he showsy his°i:-
fitness for the task by beginning to lampoon his
late political friends. Our Correspondent su
gests, however, that the Tories will have nothing
to do with him. They will be afraid, whenever
it suits his purpose, that he would lampoon them,
as they abound in that sort of persons whom
the holier-than-then men think it their first
altd h; ;hest duty to hold up to public odium—
expecting that they may, behind these wicked
menus a screen, quietly practise their own vices,
