°la ,y as no better than Popery ; but if its
'Qnlerit he that it evades the Thirty-nine

Articles, and disregards the statutes of the Uni-
versity, the people at large will think it an
honourable faith. We have seen nothing yet so
calculated to raise it in general estimation as the
censure of the University because it is a depar-
ture from the statutes of Oxford.

There is, however, one matter of great import-
ance connected with this heresy. It is said
that one Bishop at Least has embraced it. That
it has its seat at Oxford is unquestioned ; and
that those who teach it have also the formation
of the minds and theology of a large portion of the
junior clergy is undoubted. Being men of learn-
ing, piety, and zeal, they have great influence over
the young priests; and we, .therefore, readily
believe that the heresy has already tainted a
great number of the clergy. The Church is not
only rent into factions, it is corrupted by heresy.
But while a large body of the priesthood have,
according to several Bishops, and according to
the heads of houses, fallen away from the true
orthodox Church, the clergy as a body, with all
the persons they can influence, are getting up
petitions to the Legislature for the extension
of the Church. The Legislature and the public
will now, however, require to know whether.
Puseyism is to be extended at the expense of the
the State, or the true orthodox faith. Is the
public money to be given, at the solicitation of
Oxford, to teach the errors which Oxford de-
nounces? Curiously enough, the very post
which brings us the anathema of the heads of
houses against. Puseyism, brings us also a peti-
tion for Church Extension, agreed to at a Con-
vocation of the University of Oxford, holden on
Friday last. On the one hand, the University
denounces the errors of a large body of the
priesthood; and, on the other, it prays the State
ti advance funds to propagate them over the
laud.

, He proposed then to reduce the duty upon all those articles to
from 'l2 to 15 per cent. ad valorem.'
As fish constituted the principal supply of fa-d for the Negro
population, it was in the highest degree unjust to limit that
supply to one single, and frequently a very narrow market."
Is not wheat-corn the staple food of our people ?
Is there no reason in the growing skill of fo-
reign countries for pacing our country on a foot-
ing with the manufacturing countries of the Conti-
nent? Is there not in the present starving condi-
tion of our people an all-sufficient reason for
placing them on a more liberal footing with regard
to the supply ofprovisions? And is it not, to use the
language of Mr. LABOUCHERE, " in the highest
degree unjust to limit their supply to one
single, and frequently a very narrow, market ?"
We are at a loss to conceive how any gentleman
who urges these reasons for making a Cabinet
measure of some petty alterations in colonial
duties, can refuse to make a Cabinet measure of
the repeal of the Corn-laws and the timber
duties. We cannot understand how Mr. LA-
BOUCHERE, if such be
.his opinions, can, with any
peace, •or with any satisfaction to his own con-
science, consent to remain a member of a Cabi-
net which proposes no similar measure to redress
the much greater wrongs ofthe people of Enoa,nd.
Either the Cabinet should not have allowed Mr.
LABOUC,HERE to bring forward his measure rela-
tive to -the Colonies, or it must, as we believe
and hope it will, propose measures founded on
the same pri;:ciples, but more extensive and
sweeping, for the suffering people of England.

In another part of our Journal will be found
the Report of 'a meeting held at Salford for the
revision of the _tariff. Like the meeting at Liver-
pool, it was attended by both Whigs and Torivi,
and the resolutions were passed unanimously.
The Ministers are sure of their Own friends
throughout the' country, and when they see their
opponents coming forward to petition for the re-
vision of the tariff, they will surely take heart,
and, after Easter, propose a large and liberal
measure.

Some of the statements of this petition, consi-
dering whence they come, and considering the
prevalence of dissensions in the Church, are
very remarkable. At present the Church of
England is undoubtedly the richest Christian
Church in the world. The University of Oxford
has more funds at its command for teaching reli-
gion than any known University; and the result of
all these advantages possessed by the University
and the Church, according to the petition of the
University, is " that irreligion and ignorance, de-
moralisation and disunion, have very exten-
sively increased in England and Wales." In
spite, however, of all this irreligion, im-
morality, and demoralisation existing with our
enormous Church Establishment, the only re-
medy which the Convocation of Oxford can de-
vise is more Church, and of course more l'u-

We direct the attention of our readers to the
proceedings of a select few of the Middlesex,
Magi:Lutes to obtain for nr. Sergeant ADAMS
and his successors, as Chairmen of the Middlesex
Sessions, 4000/. a year out of the county rate.
The notice of the Bill, which intimates the in-
tention to apply to Parliament for powers to en-
able the Justices to break up the establishment
of the New Prison, sell the site and inaterials
thereof, and apply the proceeds -in aid of the
county rates, appears to have totally escaped the
recollection of these worthy Justices in their pe-
tition, and in the Bill which they have applied
for, and which is now in progress, under the pa-
ternal care of Col. WOOD, Member for Brecon,
and Sir JAMES DUKE, Member for Boston.

seyism.
The Convocation- says, " The only safe, ade-
quate; and constitutional remedy for the growing
evil is the expansion of the National Church, in
full proportion to the spiritual wants of the whole
community." But what guarantee, let us ask,
can the Convocation give us that the expansion
of the Church will not increase the evil corn-
ined of? It may multiply PuseyitesandPopery.
The want of religion exists in conjunction with a
well-endowed Church, and may be traced to that
as its cause. The same result was in fact pro-
duced in France before the Revolution, in Spain,
in Italy, and in Portugal. Germany and Scot-
land were saved from it by destroying the gigan-
tic Papal Church. The hollow pretences of the
priesthood, and their empty forms, disgust men
with what they call religion. Their greediness,
grasping after wealth in all possible ways, and
even appropriating to themselves the funds des-
tined for the poor, have spread greediness
amongst the people. They have pandered
to the vices of the rich and the great, and
have scourged only the poor and the humble.
To their bad example, the salt of the earth
Laving lost its savour, may be traced the demo-
ralisation and corruption of which they com-
plain; and yet they would have the Legislature
expand the C4urch and increase the mischief.
Experience supplies no guarantee of success
from the theory they advocate, and they ought
to supply some proof of its goodness before they
have the boldness to make such applications.
The Convocation, however, tells the House of
Commons with great fervour, as if it had been
admitted to the council of the ALMIGHTY, and
was commissioned to bear His mandate to
princes and lawgivers, that it must comply with
the prayers of the Convocation, or the nation will
be visited with anarchy. TORQUEM A DA, the Grand
Inquisitor, would scarcely use different language
from this,—
Your petitioners, therefore, with all humility, but with
the utmost earnestness, pray your Honourable House to direct
your early and mos' serious attention to the spiritual destitu-
tion of England and Wales, in order to take the most prompt
and effectual measures for its relief, to secure the country, under
Divine Providence, from the fatal effects of vice, anarchy, and
irreligion, and seek His favour, by whom alone princes reign
and kingdcms are preserved. •
If the House of Commons, therefore, does not
endow more priests, the nation will be plunged
into anarchy. So these impudent men try to
threaten the RepreSentatives of the nation
out of the public funds to enrich themselves.
Such proceedings, , combined with the heresy
which prevails in the Church, supply much food
for reflection. Impudence and inutility seem
to go hand in hand. Like the landlords,
whom we can well spare, they have the hn-
pudence to tell this great nation—the millions
of ingenious and skilful men, who sup-
ply each other's wants, who form each 'an
indispensable part in a great natural system
of combination, by- which the whole are sub-
sisted, which is not, in fact, confined to any poli-
tical boundaries, but extends across the Atlantic,
the cotton-grower of Carolina being as much
a part of it as the spinner of Manchester and the
weaver of Carlisle—these Puseyites and anti-
Puseyites, who cannot agree amongst themselves,
have the astounding impudence to tell the Legis-
lature, and to threaten it, that this wonderful
system, which no man ever contrived, though
men exercise it, will fall into vice, anarchy, and
irreligion, unless their wealth and numbers, al-
ready astoundingly great, be increased. Con-
sidering how little these men know of what is
good either for society or themselves, and con-
sidering the present quarrels amongst them-
selves, which ought to teach them humility, this
petition of the Convocation of the University of
'Oxford is as great a piece of impudence as ever.
fell under our notice. If Mr. NEWMAN, who by
his letter seems imbued with the humble spirit
of a Christian„ could teach the Convocation a
little modesty, he would confer a great benefit on
its members and on society.

Madrid Papers to the 10th inst., have reached
us. There was a report that four bankers of
that city had offered to lend the Government
ninety millions of reals, but the conditions were
not made public. Senor RAMON CALATRAVA
has been nominated Under-Secretary of the
Finance department. The Funds were heavy.
The Fives were down to 274 for cash.

Belgian and German Papers of the latest
dates have reached us this morning. The follow-
ing extracts from them will be found interesting:
BRUSSELS, MARCH 14.—The pleadings in the affair of
D'Herbigny and Buckeljau were closed yesterday afternoon.
The Jury, after twenty minutes' consideration, declared F. C.
Bucke.jau guilty of having, by publishing in the Messager de
Gard, an article headed " Conduct of the Orangists," publicly
and maliciously attacked the constitutional authority of the
King and the constitutional rights of his dynasty.
The public prosecutor required the app'ication of the pe-
nalty pronounced by Act 3 of the Decree of the 20th of July,
1831, respecting the Press (i. e., imprisonment for not less
than six months her more than three years). The Court con-
demned Mr. Buckeljau to two years' imprisonment and the
costs. It seems that he int;nds to appeal to the Court of Cas-
saticn.

The discussion in tie Senate in opposition to Ministers this
afternoon assumed a new and grave character.. Twelve senators,
upon motion, formed themseiv,s into a Secret Committee, in
which was read the draft of an address to the King, praying
him " to modify or change the present Cabinet, which had not
the confidence of the Chambers. ' At the desire of the Minis-
ter of Justice the discussion upon this address was postponed
till to-morrow, and it is probable that at the opening of the
sitting to-morrow an ordinance will be read for the dissolution
of the two Chambers.

This afternoon, at a general meeting of the shareholders of
the Belgian Bank, it was unanimously decided to raise the ca-
pital of that estabishment from twenty to thirty millions.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from Biberick, of the
10th of March, which says—"l am able to announce to you on
positive information that news has arrived tO•day by express,
that the German Diet has decided that the Government of
Hesse Darmstadt must remove the stone barrier which it hes
mad? in the Rhine, and must commence the work to-day or to-
morrow."
Vitextia Mute's S.—The Archduke Ferdinand, returning
from Syria: by way of Trieste and Venice, arrived here ester-
day afternoon fluite privately, and received a rnest joyful- u el-
come from the Imperial family. The public are looking for
an opportunity to manifest the interest they feel in the hou
of the young Prince,. who is in the enjoyment of perfect health.
The thaw having been very gradual, the masses of lie in the

We have received the whole of the Paris
Journals of Tuesday. On that day Baron Mou-
NIER read the report of the Commission on the
Fortifications' Bill in the Chamber of Peers. •
The Dukes of ORLEANS and NEMOURS were pre-
sent, and a large assemblage of the Peerage.
The reading of the report produced the liveliest
sensation, and we certainly do not wonder at it.
It commenced by stating that in the opinion of
the majority of the Commission the plan of sur-
rounding Paris with impregnable fortresses was
absurd and impossible. That no walls would
enable Paris to stand a siege, and that the proper
place for defending France was on the frontier.
The plan of fortifying Paris, proposed by the De-
puties, the Commission were persuaded would
be injurious to France in a commercial and poli-
tical point of view. Neither free trade rior free
institutions were compatible with bastions and
towers, which were everywhere-disappearing be-
fore the march of modern civilisation and the
authority of the law. The Commission had
therefore rejected the continuous line of walls,
with ramparts and bastions; but, in conformity
with the wish of the Chamber of Deputies,
which required some works to be undertaken,
recommended the following_ amendment of the
2d article of the Bill:
Art. H. The works shall consist,
1. Of works casemated and gorged, and supported by St.
Denis, Charenton, the heights of Ivry, and Mount Valerien.
2. Of an enceinte de surete (protecting wall), embracing
the two banks of the Seine.

A Correspondent has suggested that in the
comparison we yesterday drew between the du-
ties levied on corn at home and the Colonies, we
did injustice to our cause. We took the price of
corn at New York and the price of wheat in
England as the basis of our estimate of the rela-
tive amount of the duty in the Colonies and in
England; but we ought, he says, to have taken
either the price of flour in the Colonies; which is
nearer 30s. than 20s. the barrel, or the price of
wheat on the Continent, which is at least 30 per
cent. lower than here. We believe our Corre-
spondent is correct, and his estimate would ag-
gravate the difference we yesterday pointed out
from 20 to 30 per cent., making the case to that
amount, more than we stated, unfavourable to
England.
Now that our attention is again called to the
subject we shall beg leave to give a prominent
place to the reasons Mr. LABOUCHERE assigned
for reducing the provision duties in the Colonies,
and, at the same time, to ask our readers if these
reasons do not apply with at least equal force to
England :
" He now came to a far more important class of duties—a
class far more affecting the interests of the West Indies—the
specific duties laid upon particular articles. As he had before
stated the duties imposed at present upon beef, pork, shingles,
and foreign articles of that description amounted to ,a duty
varying from 20 to 40 per cent. ad valorem; in many in-
stances it was 40 per cent. When they comider that some of
these articles were the food of the colony; that others such as
staves, wei e absolutely necessary to conduct their only manu-
facture, that of sugar ; they must see that these duties were
perfectly immoderate and oppressive, especialy if they consi-
dered that steps are now being taken for placing these colonies
on a footing with the East Indies. As he had upon a former
occasion urged upon the House the propriety of doing justice
to the East Indies by doing away with the duties which were
injurious to them, so now he felt bound to urge upon the
House the propriety of putting the West Indies upon a more
liberal footing with regard to the supply of provisions. He
proposed, therefore, to reduce all these duties very much ; at
the same ti:ne, he did not deal with them in the same way as
Le would have done if he had been imposing them for the ih st
time ; he would in such a case have proposed them much
lower, but as they had already been established, he thought it
was their duty to be cautious of the interests now engaged.

The adoption of this amendment the Noble
Reporter stated would effect a saving to the
country of forty-five millions of francs.

When the report was read there was quite a
hubbub among the Peers. The courtiers were
up in arms against it. Nevertheless it was or-
dered to be printed, and to be taken into con-
sideration on Tuesday next. Immediately after-
wards the following Peers inscribed their names
to speak against the Amendment of the. Corn-

LAINE, DE FEZENZAC, VIENNET, GUATIER,
DUPIN, and D'HARCOURT.
The conversation in the House of Commons on
the 12th inst., relative to the Eastern Question,
occupy a prominent place in the Paris Papers
of Tuesday. A sum mary of what they say on
the subject will be found in another part of
The Sun.

REPRESENTATIVE REFOR2I.—The proposition of NM.
Maagin and Pages to reduce the number of paid functionaries
in the Chamber of Deputies was submitted to the bureaux on
Tuesday. Its discussion was authorized, and we shall there-
fore have an important debate on this first step to electoral re-
form. 141. Thiers, in his bureau, supported M. Mauguin's
motion. M. Duchatel, the Minister of the Interior, spoke
s'rongly against the proposed diminution. Three bureaux au-
thorized the discusaun of the motion, six opposed it, but, as
three bureaux suffice to enable a proposition to be debated at a
public sitting, it will come before the Chamber .in due course.
M. Mauguin's plan excludes Prefects, Sub-Prefects, Receivers-
General of Finances, General Officers (Military and Naval)
in active service, Magistrates who arc Judges of the superior
Courts, and the Under-Secretaries of the various Ministeries,
&c. The motion will meet with the decided opposition of the
Government.

COMMERCIAL TREATY WITH HOLLAND.—The Constitu-
-1 tionnel states, that serious objections are raised in the commis-
sion of the Chamber to the Treaty of Commerce with Hol-
land. The principal art:cle of this Treaty 't:tpens the Rhine
to Colonial produce, and makes Rotterdam the great cotton
market for Mulhausen and the east of France, instead of
Havie as hitherto. Havre and its interests are .strongly
opposed to this change. Railroads alone can make Havre
compete with Rotterdam.
TARSUS.—The most perfect tranquillity prevails in the
districts of Tarsus and Adana. The Turkish troops sent from
Anatolia to garrison this town have arrived. It is about a
month since the English resident at Tarsus has taken possession
of his post. He was brought by an English sloop of war,
which, after landing him, his suite and baggage, immediately
sailed. The new Governor of the province of Tarsus ( Habib
Bey) is seventy years of age. He is a sworn foe to Mehemet Ali.
The Augsburgh Gazette has a letter from Athens, stating
that M. Mavrocordao has been recalled from London to take
the office of President of the Council, and that M. Trikoupi is
to resume the embassy thus left vacant, to prevent his subjects.
from joining the revolt about to break out in Canada.
By a Royal decision of the 13th inst., Rear-Admiral Laine
was invested with the commend of the French naval forces in
Algeria, in the room of Rear-Admiral Baron de Bougainville.
Letters from Toulon, of the 10th iost., state that reinforce-
ments daily arrived in that harbour, and that upwards of 4,000
men were then wait* to be embarked for Algeria. The
Scipion ship of the lice had already sailed with 953, and the
Didon frigate with 590. Five sail cf the line were to convey
the rest to Algiers between the 15th and 20th. There were
then 44 armed vessels of all sizes lying in the roads and har-
bour of Toulon.

Letters from Frankfort of the 12th of March contain the
follow.ng passages :
Lcttcrs from Strasburg of the Sth of March state that the
garriscn of that city, as w(llas those of the other cities in the
department of the Lower Rhine, are going decidedly to be re-
d.iced to the peace establishment. Orders, which have been
received from Paris, leave no doubt on this 'point, -and it is
hoped that in consequence Germany will nut delay to begin to
disarm."— Gazatte de France.

A letter from Valparaiso, of the sth of December, brings
news of the fate of the Dclpl}ine merchantman, Captain Coisy,
which left Havre a year ago, and had not since been heard of.
It appeared that she was wrecked on the 10th aJune,lB4o, on
the island 6f Campana, 140 leagues south of Chiloe. Fortu-
nately the whole c.ew, consisting of twenty persons, including
four passengers, succeeded in saving theinselves in the ship's
boa.t, and securing some provitions from the Delphine to sub-
sisenpon in that desert island ; they saved also some parts of
the hull and sails to make a shed to shelter them.

On the 10th of October the Captain, his mate, and five
sailors arrived at San Carlos in a boat belonging to an Ame-
rican, which had happily arrived at the same island on the
17th of September. Captain Coisy left San Carlos again on
the 31st of October with a vessel large enough to contain
twenty persons, to go and fetch his unfortunate companions.
He took provisions for two months, hoping that they may have
been able to prolong their exis'ence in the melancholy abode
by gathering shell-fish and by hunting.
The brother of M. Zea Bermudez passed through Mar-
seilles on the 11th instant c.n his way to Paris. He is Cham-
berlain to Queen Christina, and is said to be the bearer of
despatches from the Palace.—Le Commerce.

The Corn-law Meeting at Manchester, which
was appointed for this day, has been postponed
tikl to-morrow, in consequence of the room in
which it was to be held having been previously
engaged for this day.
ERRATUM.-111C sum of 200,0001. was yester-
day erroneously printed in a leading article for
700,0001., as the permanent charge which pur-
chasing slave emancipation has entailed on the
industry of the people.
