was tolerably good, and we have to notice a slight im-
provement in its general quality. The attendance of
buyers being small, and the weather very unfavourable
to slaughtering, the Beef trade was heavy, at a decline
in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. There were on sale
only 47 Beasts and 600 Sheep from Holland, in fair aver-
age condition. The nucabers of Sheep were very limited,
yet the Mutton trade was exceedingly heavy, at almost
nominal currencies. For Calves the demand was firm,
at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday last.
Pigs nif,ved off slowly, at into rates. Mulch Cows were
a mere drug, at from 141 to 171 10s each, including their
small Calf.

sole object which the Legislature had in view, and it
was termed " the non-payment of first fruits to the
Bishop of Rome." It provided, if the Archbishop re-
fused to proceed to the business of confirmation, that
he should be subject to the pains and penalties of
prtemunire. It was, he contended, the business of
the Archbishop, or or his Vicar-Generql, if he acted
in accordance with tlm statute, to enter intepe whole
capabilities of the bishop elect. There was nothing in
the statute to prevent the adoption of such a course
by him. Proof of the capabilities of the bishop elect
being required, he was utterly at a loss to understand
what ground there was for the argument that the
authorities who considered it their duty to do all this;
yet refused to hear evidence on the most important
point of all. Unhappily the question of the fitness
of Dr. Hampden for the high office of bishop had
been raised, but those who opposed the completeness
of his induction felt that the question was not only
important to the Church, but to the people, and
hence, however reluctant they might be to
place themselves in hostility to the Rev. Gentleman;
they felt that in doing so they. were simply dis-,
charging a great public duty. If a mistake had been
made—if the Dean and Chapter of Hereford and the
Minister of the Crown had bebn deceived—if one
unfit and grievously wrong in point of doctrine—
nay, he took an extreme case, and would assume
the case of an infidel returned by the Dean and
Chapter, and afterwards submitted to the tribunal
constituted by the Commissioners—surely before his
confirmation was perfected—before he was declared a
fit and proper man—those who knew of his error
ought not be denied a right to appear and proclaim
it• Why, in other words, if no efficient ex•
amination, took place, a man in error in point
of doctrime, or a confirmed infidel, might
become a bishop, and there was no power
given to those clergy placed under him—under
his spiritual teaching—to object to him. He would
say nothing there about the opinions of the Rev.
Gentleman being orthodox or not ; he would merely
say this, that those for whom he appeared contended
that the nature of hiz teaching unfitted him to fulfil
the office of a bishop. Let them look at the
position. in which parties would be placed if they
were altogether denied the right of opposition. Un-
der the Church Discipline Act a bishop became an
ecclesiastical judge in various points of doctrine. He
took the case of a deacon within such a bishop's
diocese. He might know of errors of doctrine in
the bishop's teaching, and be able satisfactorily to
prove them, and. yet he was denied all remedy.
If, therefore, when they found that no bishops were
confirmed without this citation, and that several
solerrizr proceedings were gone through—that all
opponents were called upon to appear, and yet were
refused—told one moment that he shall be heard, and
the next that he shall not be heard—was he
not justified in saying that the proceedings
were a delusion and a mockery, and .that
(the most solenin proceedings •in which men could
engage became an object of ridicule. The Learned
Gentleman then quoted several old authorities or text
writers, as he termed them, to show that non-com-
pliance with any one of the conditions prescribed by
the Act rendered the whole proceedings invalid. The
ease of Evans v. ,Nasmyth will be found in
Palmer's Reports, p. 472, and the argument
of Sir William Jones were amongst these.
Sir William Jones argued that not only 'must the
citation he Made, but that the tribnnal must examine
into the fitness of the person to be confirmed. One
of those conditions was his " piety," and it was
urged in the petition of the opposing parties, that
unless they inquired that the Commissioners would
not discharge their duties properly. All they
asked for was that the Archbishop or his
Vioar-General should be called upon to in-
quire into the soundness or unsoundness of-
the Reverend Gentleman's doctrine. The case
was not unlike a quarter sessions refusing to
hear both parties to an appeal. He was also in-
structed to move for a writ of prohibition, to restrain
the proceedings of the Commissioners.
_ Lord DENMAN considered that the Learned Counsel
should simply confine his application to the terms with
which he set out.
Sir .F. KELLY then, in conclusion, viewing the
importance of the matter, and the injustice of the
refusal of the Commissioners to hear opposing parties,
earnestly called upon the Court to accede to his ap-
plication.
LORD DEl44llAX—Talte a rule.
Rule granted.
The court was crowded during the speech of the
Learned Counsel ; a great many clergymen were
present,
galleries. and a few ladies occupied seats in the

,MIVION_PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

TIIOIIPSON V. FISLIER.
This action was tried before the Chief Justice at
the but sittings at Guildhall, and a verdict found for
the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are iron merchants, and
sought to recover damages from the defendant, who
is an iron manufacturer in Staffordshire, for the due
delivery of a certain quantity of iron which he had
Contracted to deliver at a certain' price. It appeared,
that shortly after the contract was entered into, iron
rose greatly in price. The :jury found for plaintiffs
for the difference between the price of the iron when
it was contracted for, and the market' price at the
time when the contract ought to have been per-
formed. -

Mir. WATSON applied for a rule to show; cause why
there should not be a new trial, on the . ground that
the verdict was not warranted by the evidence.
The COURT refused to grant a rule.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONDLANQUE.)
IN RE CHAMBERS AND CO.
An audit meeting was held this day, under the
estate of Abraham Henry Chambers, of the firm of
Chambers and Co., formerly bankers in Bond•street,
and who were connected with the Italian Opera
House.
The business to-day was pro forma, most of the
affairs of the bankruptcy, which has been depending
for upwards of twenty years, being nearly brought
to a close.

The dividend meeting is fixed for Tuesday next.
A previous dividend of ss. 6d. in the pound has been
paid under this separate estate, and as the next meet-
ing will probably absorb all the assets, persons
whose proofi were• adjourned on former occasions
should not fail to attend.

SE CONDARIES.—(T HI S DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
WEBDER V. JAMES.
This was an action to recover the sum of 121. on a
bill or exchange.
The defendant pleaded that he did not accept
the bill.
Mr. Shannon, one of the officers of the Sheriffs of
Middlesex, however proved the fact, and a verdict was
given for the amount.
WRIT OF INQUIRY.
The only other case was a writ of inquiry, but the
plaintiff's counsel was not piesent.
Mr. PRRNTIS, for the defendant, claimed that the
case should be proceeded with.
The Learned SECONDARY said the notices of exe-
cuting writs of inquiry were given for between
eleven and one of the clock, and therefore some dif-
ficulty arose. He believed it was generally thought
that twelve o'clock was.thel hour -at which inquiries
Would be taken but'it ought to be known they were
taken as they stood in the •list. Under the circum-
stances the case ought not to be passed on. The case
then stood over until counsel was in attendance.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
George Walker, who had been twice remanded
(111 a charge of uttering a forged cheque for
3001., purporting to be drawn by Messrs. Mayhew
and Reynolds, of Carey. street, Lincoln's Inn, on
azessrs. Dixon and co., bankers, of Chancery-lane,
1146 again brought before t'he magistrate, Mr. Henry,
this morning.-
M. Mayhew said that he had made in quiries, the
result of which 'was; that he was was convinced the
'...Prisoner had no guilty. knowledge. Indeed, he now
f?gzetted that the prisoner had been confined so long,
—,nd be 'would not .hesitate to make any reasonable
rnl)Pnsation to him. At the same time he would
lYish the prisoner to be bound over to appear on a
future occasion if required.
P,0% Rimy accordingly discharged the prisoner,
I'l3-biru-to bail to appear again in the course of
next mouth.
