• AUDITORS. •

Charles Hill, Esq. Soanes, Esq.
J. S. Smith, .Esq.
The sucuss which has attended this Institution, arising from
its extended connexion, and the safe and liberal principles on
which it is founded, have fully equalled, if not surpassed, that
of any similar es' ablishment.
The Capital of the Company. subscribed by a numerous and
wealthy body of Proprietors, affords ample security for all its
engagements, while a rapidly-increasing Premium Fund lends
additional stability to the Company, and gives an earnest of con-
tinued prosperity.
The Company transacts business in every department of Life
and Firo Assurance. in Annuities. Reversions, and Loans.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.
J. T. CLEMENT, Esq , Actuary.
A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in-
vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so
as to be at all times available.
At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to
the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums
paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in
addition to the payment of the annual interest.
The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable
opportunity now offers for the commencement of new insu-
rances • parties now joining will be albwed to participate in
the profits at the next division, ai if they had been insured for
the whole period.
For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape•
eific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating. scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE-
MAIN (IN INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR
FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for
1,0001. on the immediate paymen' of the premium for 5001. only.
The following arc the annual premiums for the assurance of
1640/., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for
five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per
cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the
amount due will then be deducted

Age 20, without profits 1:1 1.3 0 with profits £1 18 0

40.
50
For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, andinformationfor any ages or contingencies not usually advertised, iformato
may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary. '
Insurances on Lives and Joint Survivorships may likewise be
effe,•ted on the most eligible terms.
The strictest confidence may be depended on in all pecuniary
transactions with the Office.
Every accommodation will bo afforded to Insurers in cases of
unavoidable delay in the payment of Premiums.
A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical officer,
sit at the Company's House at. London Bridge every Tuesday,
from Twelve to Two o'Clock, and at the Western Branch every
Friday, from Two to Three o'Clock, to grant Assurances ; but
one Director is daily in attendance at each Office, to render
every facility to those to whom despatch may be an object.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Company insure Houses, Furniture, Stock in Trade,
Farming Stock, and every description of Personal Property,
against loss or damage by Fire.
No extra charge is made at this Officn for the Transfer of Po-
licies, and the terms of rating are peculiarly favourable to par-
ties insuring.
The Premiums for insuring common and extraordinary risks
are on the same scale as the other Fire Offices, viz. :-Is. 6d.,
2s. 6d. er cent.

The following are a few of the numerous testimonials this
popular work has'receivecl, and which the limits of an adver-
tisement will only allow of being published :
' The rage for books in all departments of Science, literature,
and the arts, was, we believe, never so prevalent as at the pre-
sent time. The unavoidable consequence of this in, that we
meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, arid
even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our
minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re-
quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the. book was not
one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the
authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing
effects of, certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to
the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To
quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would
be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The
result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been
to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and
skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with
the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur-
nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most
frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England.
Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the
few books now coming befor the public on such a subject which
can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at
the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it.
The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu-
able.—Magnet.
The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood,"
has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the
never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it
treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned
cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. IVe
strongly recommend the work.—Age.
The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some,
nay most of them, of a very questionable tendency, made us ex-
tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been
induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent
friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesitate,
tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and
edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those
diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set
down by the every-day observer as the result of common
causes, such as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe-
rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre-
Isatisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs.
Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmondry
Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi-
cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi-
cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination
as any other class of affections. We do not think we go too
a as well as
physical advantages sure to result from such perusal,'
far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for
producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly
moral a book —Conservative Journal.

one and all assure us was a deliberate verdict of. the
Country against the Whig Ministry, against the, free-
trade budget, and in favour of Conservative principles,
what possible objection can they have tcf commit them-
selves, by a debate and division, to the cause which, ac-
cording to their version of the matter, has just obtained
a signal triumph ? If it be true that a decided majority
of the nation prefer the measures and policy of Sir Robert
Peel to those of Lord John Russell, what, possible harm
can result from a proceeding, the only 'effect of which
can be to place these measures and' policy on a clear,
definite, and unmistakeable footiiig. And yet, that
very serious detriment to their cause is apprehended
by the Tories from anything which compels them to
speak out and unmask, is apparent from the anger they
feel at the idea of any allusion in the Speech from the
Thro.ne to the great questions of commercial and finan-
cial policy, which from henceforth must constitute the
broad line of distinction between the two great parties.
It is ridiculous to affect astonishment that Ministers
should think of adopting such a course. It is perfectly
apparent to every man of common sense that the con-
duct of Sir Robert Peel has left no other alternative.
To use his own favourite simile, is not the patient
entitled to demand from the new physician whom he
proposes to call in, some general statement of the
practice he intends to pursue ? That, no such state-
ment was before the country at the late election is
apparent enough from this fact, that upon the vital
and all-important question of the Corn-laws one-
half of the Conservative party openly profess their hope
and expectation that Sir. Robert Peel intends to do some-
thing ; the other half that he intends to do nothing. Is
the country, in the present critical aspect of the coin-
mercial world and of the harvest, to be left in this state
of uncertainty until February, or whenever it suits Sir
R. Peel to make up his- mind ? Not upon the present
advisers of the Crown will such a responsibility rest.•
They, at least, have made up their minds ; they, at least,
have no motive for concealment. They have no wish to
prolong their official existence—no wish to avoid the ob-
vious consequence of the late election—no wish to try a
second dissolution, or any of the absurd coups d'etat
which are so. ridiculously imputed to them. But this
they do wish, that the interests of the country should not
be sacrced to the juggle which was played off at the lust
election.

- POST.—We find in the Globe of last night what we
suppose we must regard as an authoritative intimation,
that the questions raised in the list Parliament by the
Ministerial budget will be raised once more in the pre-
sent Parliament by her Majesty's Speech on the opening
of the session. Such an intimation was scarcely re-
quired. In the position which, Ministers have thought
fit to assume, no other course was open to theni. They
have assumed . that position with a full consciousness
of all its inconveniences, and all itdisloyalty, and all its
ignominy and.. shame.. .And they are not men, when
matters of such slight importance as injury to the State
and to the Sovereign alone are conceived, to shrink
from the maintenance of their position. Mr.
Baring's budget, rejected by Parliament, rejected
by the people at a general election, taken for
the express and avowed purpose of collecting the na-
tional sentiment in respect to that Budget, is now, it
seems, to be—consecrated ? 1 but exposed to
More certain destruction and exaggerated ignominy by
being re-echoed at the dictation of disloyal and perfi-
dious Ministers from the Royal lips of the youthful
Majesty of England. We need not ask the people of
England—we need not ask the Members of the New
House of Commons—whether Queen Victoria will have

riattiison. Upon this
is among the secret things that belong to the Church, for
notwithstanding that we have various Parliamentary re-
turns, and reports of Royal Commissions, the public is
almost as much in the dark as• to the real amount of the
Ecclesiastical revenues, as they are of those of the Celes-
tial Empire. -The great bulk of the Church's reve-
nues is drawn from tithes ; but there arc, in addi-
tion, many : other sources from which it derives its
wealth. The Church is in almost exclusive possession of
the revenues of charitable foundations. The clergy hold
the professorships, fellowships, tutorships, and mas-
terships of. the Universities and public schools. Immense
landed property is attached to the several sees, cathe-
drals, and• collegiate churches. The clergy have also a,.
very considerable income froth glebe lands, surplice fees,
preacherships in the Royal chapels, lectureships, town
assessments, Easter offeringS, rents of pews in the new
churches, stipends of chapels of ease; chaplainships in the
army and navy, as also to embaSsies, corporate bodies,
and commercial companies ; church-rates, marriage,
christening, and burial fees ; besides which they
monopolise nearly all profitable offices in public institu-
tions, as trustees, librarians, secretaries, and so forth.
It 'is no doubt within the recollection of our readers,
that in consequence of the various statements that
had for some years been current., relative to the in-
come of the beneficed clergy, and the strong feeling
ultimately created in the public mind, as to the inordinate
amount of that income, whether as compared with the
incomes. of other professional classes, or with the services
rendered by its possessors, an ecclesiastical commission
was created in 1t331, the ostensible object of which was
'to institute "a full acd correct inquiry respecting the
revenues and patronage belonging to the several archi-
episcopal and episcopal sees in England and Wales, and
to all cathedral and collegate churches, and to all eccle-
siastical benefices, &c., with or without cure of souls,
and the patrons thereof ;" but the real object of which
was to make out a case for the beneficed clergy, by a
series of the . most atrocious frauds, including the sup-
pression ,of truth, and the mis-statement of facts, ever
yet brought under public notice and reprobation.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

POST.—An apprehension is expressed by our con•
temporaries lest the importation of grain should be con-
tinued to an extent that might once more have the effect
of distressing the Bank for gold. It is by some assumed
that the quantity to be expected is a million quarters,
which, at the average price of 50s. a quarter, would.
stand the country in the sum of two millions and a half
sterling. By others it is considered, in 'consequence of
the constant rains we, have had, that nearly two, million
quarters will have to be imported, and that orders for
something like that quantity have been sent to the Con.
tinent. It is known by the average returns; published of
the liabilities and assets of the Bank that the amount of
specie at this time in the eoffers of the corporation
cannot exceed six millions, and the most prudent
management on the part of the Directors is at so critical
a moment declared therefore to be imperatively called for,
impressed with the conviction that every quarter of
wheat imported must be paid for in hard cash, and this
within so short a period, that is to say immediately
upon the termination of the continental harvests, that,
without a most circumspect and provident Administra-
tion, the coffers of the Bank must inevitably be drained
of their last sovereign before the end of the year.
Opinions coming from writers so enlightened, and so
well affected towards the institutions of the country,
namely, writers whose views are identified with the
masterly financial policy of the present Government,
are doubtless entitled to the most respectful atten-
tion. They feel that the Bank of England cannot
reasonably expect, after the offence given by. Lord
Palmerston to the Thiers section of the French nation,
to obtain any further temporary metallic accommo-
dation from the Bank of France. They think they
have reason to fear, too, that the supplies of gold and
silver from the mines of the western world will, from
some unexplained cause or another, be just now less
abundent than they have been; nor do we know that any
well-grounded argument Can•be opposed to the general
force of their conclusions. The Russian, Prussian, Aus-
trian, Belgian, Dutch, Neapolitan, and other loans have
given occasion in former years for the transmission to
this country of considerable sums of money for the pay-
ment of the Dividend Coupons falling periodically due.
Whether these remittances are about to be suspended.
as those which should come with equal regularity from
Spain, Portugal, and the Spanish American States have
been, or not, we aro unable positively to say,. but
we rather think not. If, however, the infOr-
mation we receive from some of the more eminent
foreign banking-houses in the City is to be be-
lieved, the capitalists of the Continent are, at the
present time, investing considerable sums of money
in the solvent Securities circulating in the London
market. This, admitting the fact to be as stated, willtend to diminish the acknowledged responsibilities of the
Bank of England. To receive payment fur the cargoes
of wheat sent to the British ports, in good and valid
foreign Bonds, is at once a safe and convenient mode of
exchange to resort to on the part of the shippers. The
continued demand for railway material for continental
purposes, seems also calculated to relieve, to a certain ex-
tent, the anticipated pressure upon our stores of bullion

ind to the exportation of the coarser articles in, question,
.t is not impossible that son* amount may be added in the
shape of coals, hardware, Manchester goods, &c. Of the
latter, indeed, our Contemporaries themselves allow that a
plantity has gone to the Continent of late on consignment,
and, though on consignment it be, the effect of such ex-
portations will be the same, so far as the Bank is con-
cerned, as if the property were shipped to order. Of
the feelings by which. the directors of the Bank of France
aro actuated towards the Bank of England, we have no
precise means of ascertaining. It is not usual, however,
for political misunderstandings between Minister and
Minister to enter very deeply into the arrangements of
purely commercial bodies ; so that, were the Bank
of England greatly distressed for h million or
two of gold, we-do not think it altogether impos-
sible that the Bank of France might be disposed,
and even glad to advance it on the unquestionable
guarantee of the dead weight annuity or Exchequer
Bills. But assuming that there should -be any
demur on the part of the Bank of France, it is
to be recollected that there are other banks on the Con-
tinent abounding in treasure, even to an inconvenient
excess, with which a drawing account might be opened.
Some of these banks may .13ecome candidates for the
preference. An interest of three or four per cent. on
their usually inactive reserves of metal would add an
acceptable amount to their ordinary profits ; and upon
the whole, taking things in the least encouraging point of
view, we do not think there is any just cause for abso-
lute detZpoudency. The state of the weather•is,happily
improving, and, from all accounts, little or no wheat has
been laid-; nor should we be, ustified in saying that the
difficulties with which the Bank is threatened are, to
our minds, anything like so imminent as those difficulties
have been represented to•be.

THE WALDEGRAVE OUTRAGE

ON THE POLICE.

The following statement has been sent to the Morning
Post, as the case of William Duff, Esq., convicted, in
conjunction with the Earl Waldegrave, of an assault on
the police :
Sta—l beg leave to inclose copies of a memoral and
of affidavitsiot facts addressed to her Majesty, through
the Secretary of State, by my brother, Mr. William
Duff, now suffering imprisonment under sentence of
the Court of Queen's Bench. I have to request that
you will do me the favour to publish them in the co-
lumns of the Morning Post. My brother is believed
by the world to be guilty of a most brutal assault ;
of this he is antirely innocent, and the object I have
in view is to .clear his character of a foul stain.
The parties who really committed the offence are
Sir Willoughby Wolston Dixie, Baronet, and Mr.
John Bell, the lately-elected Member for the borough of
Thirsk, who have hitherto eluded detection and almost
suspicion, and my brother has, unfortunately, from care-
lessness on his part, and mismanagement of his defence,
been made their scapegoat. Sir W. Dixie was, accord-
ing to his own admission, the person who beat the police-
man on the head with a heavy stick, and Mr. J. Bell was
the person who kicked him in the chest. I have invited
them severally ky letter to come forward, take upon
themselves the consequences of their own misdeeds, and
clear my brother's character ; but this they have both
positively refused to do. I have, therefore, no course
left to me, having in view the vindication of my brother's
character, than to submit the facts of the case to the
judgment of the public.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
FOLLIOT DUFF, 34th Regiment.

said Mr. Duff and this deponent, after Lord Waldo-

Duff, in company with this deponent, immediately went
towards home. That, in about ten minutes afterwards,
this deponent and the said Mr. Duff, who had proceeded
About a mile away from Kingston, were overtaken in a
fly at full gallop by the party whom they had left be-
hind, and informed of the collision which had, in the
mean time, taken place. And this deponent saith, that
no blow had been struck by any one of the said party
in the presence of this deponent, or to his knowledge
and belief, and ytartieblarly •that the sAid..Mr. Duff did
not strike or give a blow, or use any abusive language
to the said policeman, or any other person there, whilst
this deponent was in his company. - And that the said
Mr.. Duff and this deponent were unconscious of the
conflict which subsequently took place until they were
informed thereof as aforesaid. • -

IN THE QUEEN'S, BENCH.-THE QUEEN V. THE RIGHT
HON. THE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE AND WILLIAM DUFF.
William Duff, ihe defendant above-nained, being now
confined as a prisoner in the Queen's Bench prisen,
maketh oath and saith, that the whole of the allegations
contained in the annexed petition of this deponent are
true in substance and matter of fact.

TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
The humble petition Qf Wm. Duff, a prisoner confined in

the Qtieen's Bench Prison.
MoSt humbly showeth—That your petitiOner is now
nailer sentence from the Court of Queen's Bench, having
been on the 3d of May last ordered to be imprisoned for
the term of six months and to pay a fine of twenty
pounds, and further to be imprisoned until such fine be
paid, which sentence was so passed upon an indictment
charging your. petitioner, jointly with the Right Hon.
George Edward Earl Waldegrave, with assaulting one
Charles John Wheatley, a constable of the Metropolitan
Police Force, on the fifth day of June, one thousand
eight hundred and forty, the statement in support of
which charge is contained in the depositions on oath
made by the prosecutor and witnesses before. the Magis-
trate, an official copy of which depositions your petitioner
begs leave to refer to and to transmit with this his
petition.
That your petitioner is most anxious not•only not to
deny any one of the facts connected with the charge
upon which he stands convicted, and for which he is now
suffering the sentence of the law, but also to disclose
every. fact connected with the transaction which
may in any degree bear and throw light upon the
same, in the pe that the sentence which has hem
passed upon your petitioner may be considered by your
Most Gracious Majesty, and that such mitigation as the
circumstances may warrant may be afforded in the pre-
mises.

That, although your humble petitioner does not deny
his association with his; co-defendant and other parties,
on the evening and at the place deposed to by the pro-
secutor, he most positively denies any participation in,
or even having been present at, the infliction of the vio-
lence which became the subject of this' charge; he, your
petithiner, together with a friend, (the Ildn: Robert
Grimston) having parted company from the Earl Wal-
&grave and his other companions before such violence
(so proved to have taken place) did take place ; and for
the purpose of proving such assertion clearly, your
humble petitioner takes leave to draw your Most Gra-
cious Majesty's attention to the following statement of
facts, viz.--
Your petitioner, together with the Earl of Walde-
grave, the Hon. Robert Grimston, Mr. Bell, of Thirsk,
Sir Willoughby Wolston Dixie, and Mr. Connolly, of the
sth Dragoon Guards (being six in number), attended
Epsom Races on the 4th of June 1840, and afterwards
returned and dined with the said Earl Waldegrave, rt
his house at Strawberry-hill, where your petitioner is
obliged to admit that much wine had been taken. After
dinner it was proposed to go to Kingston fair, and about
eleven o'clock the whole of the said party departed toge-
ther in a hired carriage, called a fly, for that place ; and
after having been in the town of Kingston, and as they
were returning towards Strawberry-hill, the carriage
stopped opposite the Swan Inn, at Hampton Wick, and
the whole party got out.
YOur petitioner went across the road to a house (which
it has since appeared was occupied by a woman who
keeps a mangle, but which fact your petitioner did not
then know) to read the signboard over the said house,
but your petitioner did not try to open the door of the
said house, as has been erroneously supposed by the wit-
ness for the prosecution.
At this time police sergeant Churchill came on horse-
back from towards Kingston-bridge, and Sir Willoughby
Wolston Dixie went up to him, and began a conversa•
tion with him, and shortly afterwards your petitioner
and the Earl Waldegrave joined the said Sir Willoughby
Wolston Dixie, and the said police sergeant, and cer-
tainly heard the said Sir Willoughby Wolston Dixie,
who had first began the conversation, using some abusive
language towards ' him the said police sergeant ; but
your petitioner positively asserts that neither himself nor
said Earl Waldegrave used any abusive or offensive lan-
guage whatever towards said police sergeant, nor did
either of them interfere with him, except that while speak-
ing to him your petitioner, inadvertently and without
any offensive intention, laid his hands on the bridle of the
said police sergeant's horse, which the said police ser-
geant desired your petitioner not to do, and your peti-
tioner instanfly desisted. At this time John Wheatley (the
prosecutor) came up, and sergeant Churchill directed'
him (Wheatley) to throw his light upon your petitioner
and the rest of the party, and to goo-the aeitily pad

PRICE 5d

look fo: the rest of the party, and to go to the said fly
and look for the owner's name ; upon which said Earl
Waldegrave, your petitioner, and said other parties went
towards the said carriage -with the intention and for the
purpose of setting off and going home ; and when the
.said Charles John Wheatley attempted to look at the
name on the carriage, the Earl Waldegrave pushed him
aside, whereupon sergeant Churchill called to the said
Charles John Wheatley, " Take them into custody,"
or words to that effect ; and thereupon the said Charles
John Wheatley seized the Earl Waldegrave by the col-
lar, and after a short scutlie threw his Lordship down
upon the ground.
Your petitioner, thereupon. assisted, with Mr. Grim-
ston, in getting said Earl Waldegrave out of the hands
of the said Charles John Wheatley, by opening or un-
clenching the hand of the saidrharles John Wheatley,
who so held the said Earl Waldegrave, but no blow
whatever was struck by any of the party in so disen-
gaging the said Earl from the policeman's grasp. That
when the said Earl was so released, the policeman ad-
vised the whole party to go home quietly, and your pe-
titioner and his friend, the Hon. Robert Grimston, con-
sidering such advice proper, determined to follow it,
and they both joined in such advice ; but finding an in-
disposition in the rest of the party to follow such recom-
mendation, your petitioner expressed his determination
to leave them, and immediately went away towards
Strawberry Hill on foot, together with the said Robert
Grimston, and left the place entirely, your petitioner's
other four friends remaining behind with the carriage,
and in pa'ilvy with the policeman.
Your,petitioner and Mr. Grimston having proceeded
(walking leisurely) about a mile on the road between
Hampton Wick and Strawberry fill, were overtaken by
the said carriage, the said Earl. Mr. Connolly, and Mr.
Bell being therein, and Sir Willoughby Wolston Dixie
„being on the box, and by them your petitioner and his
friend, the said Mr. Grir,:ton, were informed of the
violence which had taken place, and the injuries which
had .been inflicted on the said Charlea..John Wheatley,
after your petitioner and his friend, Mr. Grimston, had
left their said companions ; and but for such informat-
tion your petitioner would have been quite unconscious'
of any violence whatever having been used towards the
person of the said Charles John Wheatley, or any other
person.
That from the above facts it will be manifest that
although your humble petitioner was present before and
up to, and while the Earl of Waldegrave was collared
by the prosecutor, and assisted in disengaging his
Lordship from the hold of the policeman, your petitioner
was not present during any part of the affray which con-
stituted the grave part of the charge for which he has
been sentenced; and in part proof of your petitioner's
statement, he takes leave humbly to refer to the deposi-
tions sworn by the prosecutor and witnesses before the
Magistrate when first this matter was investigated, a
copy of which depositions, as before stated, accompany-
ing this petition, and on reference to which it will be seen
by the evidence of the witnesses Churchill and Wheatley
that they speak of four gentlemen only, evidently im-
pressed with the belief that there were four only, be-
cause there were only four remaining when the outrage
was committed, although originally there had been six
persons present, including your petitioner and the Hon.
Robert Grimston. It will also be found that the said
Charles Churchill also speaks of Lord Waldegrave as the
person who first accosted him, when in truth it was Sir Wil-
loughby Wolston Dixie who so accosted him, and used
the offensive language he complains of. He also de-
scribes your petitioner to have tried to unbuckle the
throat-band of his bridle, which, on his part, was a mis-
apprehension, your petitioner having merely placed his
hand inoffensively on the bridle, and removed it on its
being noticed by the said Charles Churchill ; and it will
be observed further, upon reading such deposition, that
the said Charles Churchill does not depose to having
witnessed any act of violence, and that he did not consi-
der that any breach of the peace had been committed up
to the time of his comrade Wheatley going to the car•
riage and taking hold of one of your petitioner's compa-
nions ; for in such deposition he says as follows :—" The
other three wished him not to hurt their friends, and I
rode away to Kingston to get further assistance, as I an-
ticipated a breach of the peace."
And upon reference to the evidence of the said Charles
Wheatley, it will be seen that he also speaks of four per-
sons only, and lie describes the scuffle in which he re-
ceived the blows to have been after Sergeant Churchill
had gone for assistance, for he says, " I called out for the
sergeant, but he v: as not there."
That such being the evidence, in which there was, in-
deed, scarcely any proof of your petitioner's identity, he
was advised to permit the trial to proceed, it being con-
sidered there was no sufficient proof of his having been
concerned in the outrage, and which want of proof was
increased bk the fact of your petitioner having been-
taken into custody. and identified, as the fact was, by
mistake, as Lord Waldegrave, although his Lordship
was present at the time ; but your petitioner felt that it
wag-lizore respedtful to the justice of the country and
more cbrt:lstent w ith • the ,character of a gentleman to
admit. such Tharticipatiovs..kc.really had had in an affair
.where a 5 -,Arat p
and for this reason he insisted on withdrawing rge prea
which his attorney had caused in a formal manner to be
pleaded to the indictment, in the hope that by represent-
ing to the Court how far your petitioner was really im-
plicated, it would have had due weight •, and with that
view your petitioner made an affidavit of the facts to be
laid before the Court, but he did not feel at liberty, nor
did he think it necessary, to disclose the names of the
gentlemen who were his companions, and for that rea-
son, namely, omitting to disclose the names of his com-
panions, it was, as your petitioner understood, that no
distinction was made in the sentence passed upon your
petitioner and his co=defendant, the Earl of Waldegra.ve.
That your petitioner most deeply and sincerely re-
grets the injury that was sustained by the said Charles
John Wheatley ; and although it was not inflicted by
your petitioner, or in his presence, or with his privity,
yet, as he had -been originally one of the party from
whom the injuries were received, your petitioner would
very willingly have contributed, as far as in him lay, to
have made ample compensation ; but the whole matter
was left by your petitioner in the hands of the legal ad-
visers of Lord Waldegrave, to take such steps as they
should think prudent, your petitioner on his part not
having employed any separate solicitor.
That yOni4 petitioner is the more anxious to have the
above facts ins.estigated, as although he will not and
has not for a moment denied the ex peest of his share in
the unfortunate transaction, yet he atent stands in
the eyes of his relations and friends a person guilty of
the whole facts alleged against the most guilty parties
by the prosecutor and his witnesses
tnu
;_ and for these
reasons, and the hope that somecomniai of punish-
ments_ra
may take clac.e, your petitioner humblyat prae for
further and fuller. inquiry, by which it can be made
clearly to appear w guilty perpetrators of an
who ,:ere
petulionthef is now suffering.—And
offence for which your
your petitioner shall ever pray. •
SPAIN AND THE ....POPE.
vNE „, CY IN
MANIFESTO OF TilE SPANISH
POPE.
ANSWER TO THE ALLOCUTION OF H.
(CONTINUED.)
The prelates hesitated to interfere to check those
cesses, being in doubt as to the wishes and intentions of
the Holy Father, ;so that the fault of what occurred
must be Justly attributed to the unworthy conduct of the
ecclesiastics, and the silence of their superior pastors.
These considerations, so just and of such serious conse-
quence, which can never be qualified but as irreligioUs
and revolutionary, never had any influence on the mind
of his Holiness. He produced his complaint, showing
great concern at the prompt and continued executions to
which the ecclesiastic's were condemned, as when taken
with arms in their hands they merited no other consi-
deration than any other rebels. Time was thus lost in
useless negotiations, without a step being made in advance
in this question. Different churches of the kingdom
being without Bishops, the Government lost not a mo-
ment in providing for their wants, and presented to his
Holiness wise and virtuous ecclesiastics, which it consi-
dered worthy of filling the vacant situations. The cus-
tom in those :cases is not to defer the confirmation' of
either the nominations or the expedition of the bulls, in
order that the flock of Christ should not remain for toO
long a time deprived of their spiritual pastor ; instead of
proceeding thus, the Holy See obstinately refused to
fulfil this imperious duty, sometimes by the aid of theo-
logical subtleties, at others' from interested views dis-
guised under the cloak of a benevolent concession. The
first difficulty arose as to the formula of presentation,
without prejudicing the question of the dynasty, which
had been left to be decided by the fate of arms in the
Peninsula. In vain did the Government, faithful to the
system of condescension which it had adopted, propose
different formula in which, by the omission of the name
of the priest, the difficulties were removed and the tem-
poral interests of the Holy Father secured. The Court
of Rome rejected all these proposals, first on one pre-
tence and then on another. At length it proposed a
means which appeared to it the best adapted to the cir-
cumstances of the case. It consented to omit in the bulls
all presentation, saying that the Holy Father granted
this as a voluntary act of apostolic faith, finally declaring
that his Holiness would make a separate official declara-
tion on the subject. The trap was skilfully laid, but not
sufficiently so for the Government to fall into it. In vir-
tue of the most respectable titles established by canonical
law—titles recognised in the most solemn manner by the
SovereignXontiffs at all periods—her Majesty found her-
self inconlfttibly invested with the Church patronage of
her kingdom, and it would be impolitic and dishonourable
for the Government of Isabella to give its consent to the
positive and public violation of this right. Why, there-
fore, propose to guarantee it by a separate declaration,
which would have the air of being a concession ?
It was to avoid difficulties that the Spanish Govern-
ment has gone to the very limit of forbearance conarstent
with its duty ; it can go no further without showing itself
wanting in dignity, respect for the rights of the nation,
and the prerogative of the Crown. It had come to the
resolution to receive no more bulls of confirmation for
any Bishop, unless there was an express mention made
therein recognising the right of patronage of the Crown.
The consequence of a continued interruption of friendly
relations of a Catholic kingdom with the Sovereign
Pontiff might be disastrous ; but the responsibility would
rest on those who had heaped difficulty on difficulty, and
refused even to come to an equitable adjustment of the
subject in dispute. We have claimed at a proper time
the exercise of legitimate rights, and have carried
pur deference for religion and the tranquillity of the
State to its utmost extent in observance of the laws of
I the Monarchy . and the venerable discipline of the

Church.

EVENING su N.

There remained nothing to f,..-

part of the Government of her -'.,iajesty,
answer to this effect was given tivtlie court. Of :Rome.
The Nuncio received his passports, and all negotiation
was at an end.

As it was the Sovereign Pontiff who refused, as a
Prince, to recognise her Majesty as the legitimate heiress
of the Throne of her ancestors, and.also refused, in his
quality of Spiritual Father of the Faithful, to suppl
the wants of the Church in Spain, and, not content with
this prolonged resistance, raised his voice in the Consis-
tory to attack the supreme authority of the State, anraz
its acts, and assert his superiority over one who does no
even acknowledge him as an equal, it is himself who 'ha
set up a wall of separation between the two Courts, and
closed the dogr to all friendly relations and every species
of compromise. The violent allocution of the Hol y
Father can only be regarded as a declaration of wKr
against Queen Isabella 11., against the safety of th
State, and against the Constitution. It is truly a mani-
festo in favour of the conquered and expelled Pretender;
it is a scandalous excitement to schism. discord, disorder,
and revolt. Thu Government of her Majesty cannot,
without a breach of loyalty and honour, be silent unda
this enormous attempt. It cannot refrain from employ-
ing for its repression all the just . means placed in its
hands by reason, propriety, the discipline of the Church,
and the power of a great and noble nation so shamefully
insulted.

FRANK PROTECTION in TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 21.—A circumstance, trifling
in itself, but productive of considerable sensation amongst
the diplomatic corps, has occurred within the last fort-
night. The facts, which appear to involve a scrioLs
question, as regards the right assumed by France to the
exclusive protectorate of Christian establishments- in the
Ottoman Empire, are nearly as follow
:
A benevolent society, composed of Frank merchants
and master tradesmen of all countries, supported by ,vo-
luntary contributions, collected here and in various -.Eu-
ropean cities, and aided by a most liberal donation from
the Sultan himself, has been formed at Para. -This so-
ciety has met with so much success that it has been en-
abled to purchase some little property, and to creet
thereon an hospital and house of refuge for sick and des-
titute Franks.

The operations of the institution are regulated by sta-
tutes, and the immediate administration is confided to a
t-committee, whose deeisions are, however, subject to revi-
sion, and reversion in the event of a general meeting
being convened, and a rotest to that effect being signed
by thirty members.,., isTow,•it Appears eapt,,op, socity,—
considering, and considoring -Just ly,that it-had 'rettaiii.yd
a sufficimt degree of importance and ex-tension not oaly
to be worthy of collective'ambassndorial protection, but
that it Would derive additional weight and security from
such protection, determined to call a meeting for the
purpose of deciding upon thehest mode of obtaining this
general patronage. -
Upon this the Committee, principally composed at the
moment of• -French- subjects, and stimulated, as it is
affirmed, by the Lazarist missionaries, took upon itseit;
without consulting other members, to frame and present
an address to the French Ambassador, soliciting his
exclusive prOtection. This request soon received a fa-
vourable and— obliging reply, settinc, forth his Excel-
lency's satisfec lion at being enabled') to contribute to a
• purpose so essentially benevolent, and so perfectly ac-
cordant with those ancient stipulations by which France
had been invested in the sole right of protecting all the
Christian establishments in the East.
No sooner, however, did the members of the institu-
tion hear of this act of their Committee, and of Monsieur
de Pontois's reply, than they loudly condemned the for-
mer, and forthwith convened a general meeting, at
which resolutions were passed. 1. -Declaratory of
their • unqualified disapprobation of the Committee
having taken upon themselves to convert into a case
of • individual and exclusive patronage that which
the heterogeneous composition and consequent in-
terests of the society required to be general and
collective. 2. Declaring that the proceedings-of the Coin-
mittee should be reversed, the Committee displaced, and
that an application should be made to the whole • diplo-
matic corps, praying them to become the collective, as
well as individual patrons of a society to which all their
fellow-subjects, especially those of Austria, were contri-
butors to a greater or lesser amount. 3. It was resolved
that a letter should be addressed to M. de Pontois, en-
closing copies of the statutes, and resolutions founded
thereon; at •the same time, not only disclaiming all inten-
tion of giving the slightest offence to his Excellency, but
earnestly requesting him to accord to the Society that
protection, as a Member of the Collective Diplomatic
Corps, which he had so obligingly promised in his indi-
vidual position, as representative of France.
To this document, which dmibtless caused some sur-
prise to M. de Pontois, his. Excellency returned an im-
mediate reply, stating that he considered the application
ofthe Committee as perfectly legal; that he looked upon
that Committee as fully empowered to act as it had dune,
and that -he could not consent to-withdraw or alter the
character of a protection, as honourable.: to the persons
claiming it as it would be agreeable to7the King of the
French, whose predecessors had, for more than three
cepturies, been invested with the noble mission of pro-
tetting Christianity within the Ottoman empire.
The latter observation, if made by M. Pontois, alluded
t& the convention entered into between the Grand Signor -
and Francis I. in 1525 ; renewed in 1673 with Louis
XIV., and again guaranteed in 1796 to the Directory, by
which France was recognized by the Porte as "- sole pro-
tectress of Christianism in the East."

M. de Pontois's reply was far, however, from satisfy-
ing the society; fifty of whose members, that is more
than half, had r.- .1.- ~sotest. They conseilimitiy
•:.-7-rroaledbtertnination, _
and at a general Meeting took measures to-forward a
copy of their proceedings individually and collectively
to the whole corps diplomutique. From the preponde-
rating number of Austrian subjeCts connected with the
institution, Baron Sturmer's attention was the most
pointedly called to the subject, and it is reported that a
meeting of diplomatists was held at the Austrian Palace
at Buytikdere, when it was resolved 'that, without en-
tering' into the fond de la. question, each member
should assure the subjects of his respective Sove-
reign of his direct protection; and protest against the
right of any Power to interfere with, or to attempt to
assume to itself the right of according protec-
tion to any but the subjects of its own country, assuring
the society, at the same time, that the collective body
would be eager to offer its protection in any way that
might be useful to the general interest of the institution.
Baron Sturmer, so at least it is reported, went still fur-
ther, acting with the vigour that became the represen-
tative of a great nation. He declared that he would not
recognise the right of Austrian subjects to apply for the
protection of any other Sovereign, and that if any of
these subjects should demand such protection, they must
consider themselves as having forfeited all claim to the
protection of their own Government. It is understood to
be the determination of Lord Ponsonby to act in a simi-
lar manner, and the rest of the foreign Envoys have also
expressed their disapprobation of their countrymen ap-
plying for protection to any other Power than the repre-
sentative of their own Sovereign.
Thus matters rest for the present. The most unplea-
sant feature of this affair is to. see France again placed
in an isolated position. This individuality was not e'er.,
tainly of her own seeking. It resulted from the indis-
cretion of thoSe who, in taking a step totally opposed to
the wishes and interests of the society, were not aware,
perhaps, of the unpopularity and inipolicy of seeking to
place an institution of this general. character under the
exclusive patronage of any single Power—especially of a
Power which, although it may claim rights of protection
over spiritual establishments in virtue of ancient, but ex-
parte conventions, can have no more title to extend this
supremacy to temporal institutions, than it has to claim
the power of granting passports to the subjects of other

REGISTRATION of VOTERS.,-
VERY IMPOBTANT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin—Pray remind those who are about to make ob-
jections to parties on the list of Freemen of Otie3 and
Boroughs of the very unportant provision in the 33d
Section of the Reform Act, 2 Will. IV., C. 45 which
enacts, That every, reeTan pr liveryman shall :far erer

This is indeed important ; but has not been sz..(liciently
attended to.

FAILURES IN LIVERPOOL.—We are assured
that there 'is no truth in the statement which we
copied from a Manchester paper, that a house had
failed in Liverpool, which owed a Joint-Stock Bank
100,0001. Three or four failures have occurred in that
town within the last fortnight, but the liabilities of the
highest in amount do nut exceed 50,0001., and there are,
it is said, assets which, if realized, will enable the parties
to pay 20s. in the pound, and leave a surplus. The liabi-
lities of another are stated at 16,0001., and of a third,
at not more than 7,000/.--( Times, of Friday.) We are
sorry to have to add another failure to the above. The
house held a large
,quantity of cotton, which, if forced
on the market in its present state, would have caused a.
serious loss. They preferred suspending for a time, and
hope, ultimately, to meet all their engagementi. We may
remark, chat the stock of cotton now held in Liverpool
is larger than was ever before known. Its value is
variously estimated at from five and a half to six and a
half millions sterling.--Liverpool
