London, England, 1848-07-24 00:00:00

THE SUN, LONDON,

and white, the demands for all kinds of English
Wheat was brisk, at an advance in the quotations of
Monday last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which
II good clearance was effected prior to the close of busi-
ness. This improvement in value was the result of the
prevailing changeable weather, and the numerous un-
favourable accounts which have come to hand this morn-
- bag respecting the potato disease. With Foreign Wheat,
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied.
Really fine qualities were in good request, and 3s per
quarter dearer than last week. In the middling and
inferior kinds, rather an extensive business was trans•
acted, chiefly for inland consumption, at a rise of 2s per
quarter. Bonded Wheats were held at a similar rise.
There was a large supply of Foreign Barley on the
market ; nevertheless the Barley trade was steady, and
last week's prices were fairly supported. No English
Barley on offer. The market was very scantily supplied
with Malt. Fine Chevalier parcels produced full curren-
cies ; but all other kinds of Malt were neglected, ttith-
out being considered cheaper. The supply of Oats ex-
ceeding the wants of the dealers, the trade was in a
sluggish state. Fine dry corn produced full prices, but
the out-of•condition sorts were somewhat easier
to purchase. In Beans, very few sales took
place. Prices, however, ruled about stationary.
There was a better sale for Peas, both English and Fo-
reign, at a rise in value of from 2s to 3s per quarter.
Indian Corn, both on the spot and for arrival, was held
at 3s per quarter more money; Indian Meal, 6d per
barrel dearer. The Flour trade was firm, at extreme
quotations.

At the northern outports, about 1,200 head of
each kind of stock have been landed from Hol-
land and Germany, in fair average condition.
The supply of foreign stock on sale to-day, Sheep and
Calves in particular, was somewhat extensive, but its
general quality was inferior. The primest Sheep and
Calves moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the
• demand was in a sluggish state. There was a decided
increase in the numbers of English-fed
.Beasts on offer,
at least a moiety of which was, however, beneath the
middle quality. As the attendance of both town and
country buyers was somewhat numerous, the very
primest Scots were in fair, though not to say brisk in-
quiry, at, in most instances, Friday's advance in the
• quotations of 2d per 81b. All other breeds moved
Off slowly, and that day's currencies were with
difficulty supported. At the close of the market a
total clearance of the Beasts was not effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received about 1,000 Scots, Short-horns, &e. ; from the
Northern counties, 400 Short-horns ; from the Western
and Midland districts, 1,000 Herefords, Hunts, Devons,
Irish beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland, 300 horned and
Polled Scots, 74 coming to hand per railway, the re-
. mainder by steamers. Even the. time of year considered,
the'supply of Sheep was good, both as to number and
quality. For all breeds, but more particularly for the
best, old Downs, the sale was steady, at prices fully
equal, to those paid on this day se'nnight. The highest
figure for Mutton was ss. per 81bs. The sale for Lambs
Was in a sluggish state, and the top price did not reach
51 6d per 81bs. We were very heavily supplied with
Calves, yet a full average business was transacted in
that description of stock, at our quotations. Pigs, the
Supply of which was moderately good, moved off slowly,
but we have no alteration to notice in value.

Since our last report these markets have been but
moderately supplied with each kind of meat slaughtered
in the metropolis and in the provinces, but its general
quality has proved extremely good. Prime Beef and
Veal have commanded a ready sale at an advance in the
quotations-of 2d per Sibs. In other.kinds of meat a
full average amount of business has been transacted,
and late rates have been well supported. The supply
of foreign meat has not exceeded 800 carcases, and
which have been mostly sold at low figures.

large,

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS I)AY.)
The House sat this morning to hear appeals. The
Lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham,
Lord Campbell, and the Bishop of Hereford.
THE PRINCIPAL OF GLASGOW COLLEGE V. THE ATTORNEY-
GENERAL.
The arguments in this appeal which was commenced
on Thursday last were resumed to day. The case came
before their Los dships upon an appeal from the decision
of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce. The question
raised by the appeal was, whether a charity founded by
the will of John Snell, in the reign of King Charles the
11., ought now to be made more effectually conducive to
the supply of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Scot-
land with clergymen born in Scotland, and educated
partly at Glasgow College, and partly at Oxford, accord-
ing to the view of the founder's intention, taken by the
information and the decree. John Snell, who was a
native of Scotland, but who settled at Uffeton, in the
county of Warwick, by his will, bearing data the 29th
day of December, 1677, and republished on the 6th of
August, 1679, gave the manor and lands of Uffeton, and
all his freehold, and leasehold, and personal estates,
subject to certain charges, to his executors, upon
trust, which he prcceeded to declare in the following
words :—" Upon trust that the profits and product
thereof may be employed and disposed of for the
maintenance and education, in some college or
hall of the University of Oxford, to be ap-
pointed by the Vice-Chancellor, Provost, Master,
and President, for the time being, or any three of
them, in such proportions and with such allowances, and
in such manner as they, or any three of them, shall think
fit, such and so many scholars born and educated in
Scotland, who shall each of them have spent three years
in the College of Glasgow in that kingdom. And my
further will and mind is, that every such scholar and
scholars upon each of their admission to such college or
ball as aforesaid, shall be bound and obliged by such se-
ourity as the said Vice Chancellor, Provost, Master, or
President, for the time being, or any three of them,
shall think fit, to some person or persons to be by them,
or any three of thorn, hereunto appointed, that the said
scholar or scholars shall respectively forfeit and pay to
that college or hall, whereof or wherein he or they shall
• be respectively admitted, the sum of 5001. a piece of
lawful money of England, if he shall not enter into holy
orders, and if he or they shall at any time after such his
or their entering and admission take or accept of any
spiritual promotion, benefice, or other preferment what-
soever within the kingdom of England or dominion of
Wales, it being my will and desire that every such scho-
lar so to be admitted shall return into Scotland, and
there be preferred and advanced as his or their capacity
and parts shall deserve, but in no case to come back into
England, nor to go into any other place, but only into the
kingdom of Scotland for his or their preferment.'
• The testator died in 1679, and on the 13th of Septem-
ber, 1679, his will was proved in the Prerogative Court
of Canterbury. Nothing appears to be known about the
Personal history of the testator, except that he was
educated in Glasgow College, under the tuition of Sir
James Dalrymple, afterwards Viscount Stair; and that,
in 1661, he presented to the library of Glasgow College,
at• copy of " Walton's Polyglot Bible,' and accompanied
415 present with a complimentary letter to Dr.
the then principal of the college. At the date of the
will. and from that time till several years after the death
of the testator, the Protestant Episcopal Church, with
its ministry of bishops, priests, and deacons, canonically
consecrated and ordained after the model of the Church
of England, was established by law in Scotland, and the
t,'o Established Churches of England and Scotland were
then in full communion with each other, and were agreed
aßoforrll important points of doctrine and discipline. After
aatieu the Presbyterian Church was established

by law in Scotland, under the successive forms of John
Knox and Andrew Melville, from the year 1560 till
1610. The Presbyterians rejected, as belon4ing to Popery,
all consecration of bishops, and all ordination by bishops
of pr.ests or deacons. The name of " priest" they re-
jected altogether. The name of " deacon" they applied
to lay officers having duties similar to those of church-
wardens in England. The name of ‘‘ bishop" was en-
tirely abolished by Knox, and having been restored
under the Regent Mar, chiefly for temporal reasons
(without any consecration or proper episcopal jurisdic-
tion, of the officers so named), it was successfully
opposed by Melville, under whose discipline the Presby-
terian system in Scotland first assumed that decided
attitude of resistance to every form of ecclesiastical
prelacy which it has since maintained. The expression
" holy orders" has never been known to the Scottish
Presbyterian Church. The term " ordination" was not
used by Knox, and was introduced by Melville and his
followers only to signify the solemn institution of a
pastor chosen by the people to a benefice or a parochial
cure. In all these respects the Presbyterian Church,
while established in Scotland, was fundamentally r.t
variance with the Church of England ; and (besides
many other important points of difference) the Presby-
terians also rejected the royal supremacy in matters and
causes ecclesiastical. The Court below had held that
the intention of the testator was to have young men
educated according to the Episcopal system in England,
and to secure their appointment to the Episcopalian
ministries in Scotland, and that the trust fund must be
administered on that principle. The appellants appealed
against that decree.
Mr. James Russell and Mr. Bolt were heard for the
respondents on Thursday, and
Mr. L. Wigram with whom was Mr. Roundell Palmer
resumed his arguments whidh he commenced on Thurs-
day on the behalf of the respondent.
The arguments had not concluded when our Afternoon
Edition went to press.
The cases of Farmer v. Farmer and Fulham v.
M`Carthy, stood on their Lordships paper for judgment
to-day, but up to the time of our going to press their
Lordships had not given their judgment on either case.
Should their Lordships pronounce their judgment to-day
we shall give them in our Third Edition.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

David Nisbet and: John Burgess, two lads about 14
years of age, were placed before Mr. Bingham, the for-
mer charged with stealing several valuable diamond
rings and pins, the property of his father, and the pri-
soner Burgess with having received a portion of the
property, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. David George Nisbet, jeweller, 11, Castle-street,
East, said the first-named prisoner was his son, and as-
sisted him in his business. About a week ago witness
missed a valuable diamond ring and a gold pin set with
amethysts. This circumstance led him to examine his
stock, when he found that 24 rings and 13 pins had been
abstracted from the jewel cases. His son having once be-
fore robbed him, caused him to suspect that he was
the thief. He called him into the shop and then
taxed him with the robbery. lie at once admitted being
the thief, and said that be had given the property to a
boy named Burgess, living close by. Witness then sent
for a constable, who went with the prisoner to Burgess's
house, and took the latter into custody.
Police constable 151 E, said, on Saturday night he was
called by the prosecutor to take his son into custody tor
robbing him, On going into the shop the prisoner,
without the least persuasion, made a full confession. He
subsequently went with witness to Burgess's house, and
called him out, when witness took him into custody.
The boy Nisbet said he had taken the rings and pins,
and gave them to Burgess.
Burgess denied this assertion in Coto, and protested his
innocence of the charge brought against him.
Nisbet was remanded for a week, without bail, and
Burgess for the same period, but admitted to bail.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
George Clark, a young man, was charged with having
caused the death of a horse and seriously damaged a cab,
the property of Mr. James Duke, cab-master, of the
Curtain-road.

William Doughty, cabman, said he was proceeding up
the High-street, Iloxton, at about 10 o'clock on Saturday
night, at a pace about six miles per hour, when he per-
ceived a horse and cart coming towards him at a dan-
gerous rate. Ho was on the proper side of the road,
which is very wide, but in order to attempt to avoid a
collision, he drove his horse into the gutter. The driver
of the cart, however, had evidently lost all control over
his horse, and the collision inevitably took place, the near
side shaft of the cart entering the off side portion of the
cab horse, which instantly fell dead. There were four
persons in the cart at the time of the collision, three,
however, made their escape.
Mr. Inspector Pascoe said that the prisoner acknow-
ledged the accident to have been his own fault inasmuch
as he had permitted another person to drive; he, how-
ever, added that he was very sorry for the occurrence.
Mr. Duke said the horse was worth 101. or 121., he
would, however, take 81.; and although the cab was so
much damaged he would accept 11. for it, making 91.
compensation for the loss he had sustained.
Mr. Childs appeared for the defendant.

Mr. HAMMII.I. animadverted upon the highly repre-
hensible practice of rapid driving in the public streets.
He should adjudge the defendant to pay a penalty of
405., and 91. for the damage and loss the prosecutor had
sustained.

IRELAND.
MORE PROCLAMATIONS.

DUBLIN, JULY 22.—A Privy Council, at which the
Lord-Lieutenant presided, was held this afternoon at the
Castle. Proclamations were immediately afterwards
issued, placing the county of Meath, the city of Kilkenny,
and the remaining portions of the counties of Cork and
‘Vaterlord, not already proclaimed, under the operation
of the Preservation of Life Act.

The extension of the Act to the entire county of Cork
has been in compliance with a etrong memorial to the
Queen and the Lord-Lieutenant from the grand jury of
that county.

The following is a list of districts proclaimed:—
County of Kilkenny, city of Kilkenny, county Meath;
baronies of Decies scithin and without Drum, and Cosh-
more and Coshbrine, county Waterford; baronies of
Kerricurrahy, Kinsale; Courcies, Kinalmealcy, Barretts
(north and south), Barrymore, Kiwaltalloon, East Car-
berry and Ivane, and Barrtnore, county Cork.
The announcement of the determination of Ministers
to propose the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act has
produced great confidence amongst the loyal and peace-
able portion of the population of this metropolis. It
was high time that some such vigorous policy should be
adopted, as we were almost in the jaws of a sanguinary
insurrection. Every account from several of the southern
counties shows that the disaffected are ripe for an out-
break, and the leaders appear right well disposed to give
the order.
The Nation and the Irish Felon made their appear-
ance to-day. In the morning some police were stationed
outside the Felon office, but the newseenders came up in
warnings ofe police. The sale of the two papers to-
dayth .
a body, and obtained their supplies, regardless of the
has been enormous.
Both the Nation and the Irish Felon exhibit, in every
column, the insane ferocity and utter desperation of the
rebel leaders. It is now openly avowed that the executive
directory have determined to attempt an immediate in-
surrection, and the deluded people are called upon to
rise at once, and "strike the blow." The design of
these madmen is to produce a sanguinary insurrection,
in which they hope that the parties now amenable to
justice may possibly escape the punishment of their
crimes against society.
The Action requires even "boys of fifteen to bear a
hand in the national struggle." It is declared that " the
casus WU" has arisen—that " the long-pending war
with England has actually commenced." " We bade
England," says C. G. D. (51r. Charles Gavan Duffy),
writing from Newgate Prison, " choose speedily between
concession and the sword. We formally proclaimed a
war of independence. And now the time is come when
that pledge must be promptly fulfilled, or as formally
dishonoured." And if the people surrender their arms
and desert the daring enterprise, G. C. D. will not regret
his fate, " though the judge and the jury that await me
ijow m

elaTnhde come
should do the will of England without conscience and

throughthus
d
l uodrese
:al? I dare
net answer. I know she possesses passive courage
without limit. There is a legion of men
in the front of
this battle who would not yield an inch before
exile or
death. The courage of endurance that makes
as plenty as it ever was in any nation. But martyrs is
the
and adventurous genius that begins a great undertaking daring
—the fiery vehemence that does not stop to
calculate,
the penetrating far-reaching eagle spirit in whoms pru-
or
pru-
dence is instinct, but who, like Bacon, count *upon au-
dacity as the surest element of success--these are
so common. Ireland, in this terrible crisis, may fall
not
all a
victim to consciences whose sensibility is not
healthy, but
morbid; and the greatest of all human afaictions may
come of the amiable fear of doing wrong. grant God
the people and their leaders that wisdom which has
trust in the indomitable spirit and resources of a nation
struggling for liberty; that wisdom which does not count
upon the convenience of to-day, or the risk of an hour,
but takes counsel for the permanent prosperity and ho-
nour of the country.
" For myself I will say, that, if the people are robbed
of their arms—if the clubs arc broken up—if all the
organization and discipline won with such toil are flung
away in • an hour—if the spirit of the country, so mira-
culously evoked, be again permitted to die out while the
leaders of the people look oft in dumb submission—if
these things can happen after the terrible lessons we
have before us written in the blood and tears of the
nation, 1, for one, will not curse the packed jury that
sends me far from such a spectacle. With me war was
not a natural or instinctive resource; I accepted it only
as the last alternative, but I accepted it without reserva-
tion. I counted upon resisting at the first point where
further delay would quench the ardour of the people. I
knew well that there were limits to their patience—
for they had been betrayed. Thst a certain
point passed, thousands of brave men would fly
trout the country in despair—that our self-
reliance would die out like a setting sun,
It a single hour : that the obscene vermin who
have grown fat on our misery would re-appear and a
new reign of fraud begin, a thousand times more hope-
less than the first. If that hour is at hand, or if ever it
shall
come, may I not stand upon Irish soil to see it.
The knell of our hopes is the saddest sound I can ever
hear in • though
;judge and jury
the
that await me
should do the will
of England without conscience and
without mercy.
"C. G. D.
" Newgate Prison."
In another frenzied appeal, " The Hour of Destiny,"
the Nation says—" It is a d eath-struggle now between
the murderer and hi, victim. strike l—strike ! . . •
116 T, then, men of Ireland, since Providence wills it.
Rise in your cities and your fields
valleys, by your dark mountain p,aost your

nation."

In the Nation, also, Mr. T. D. M'Gee boasts that
" the army of the League "—that League which the
Freeman's Journal has so earnestly invited the
Catholic clergy to join—" has obtained within the
week a hundred thousand recruits." Mr. M'Gce
rays—" We cannot now afford to sacrifice the clubs.
They must be strengthened, increased, and extended;"
and inasmuch as " Saint Ruth and Sarsfield led only two
provinces against Marlborough and William," and
" three or four counties'in '9B had nearly ended British
dominion in this kingdom, ten or twelve are enough for
the work still."

Regarding the proclamations, the Nation says :
" The proclamations are mere waste paper and wasted
words. But they will be followed by acts, and for these
the people must prepare. But are the people to come
alone into contact with the usurping Government ?
Where are the popular authorities ? What is the Lord
Mryor of Dublin doing ? These are daily questions
asked in every street. The Lord Mayor is doing nothing,
and will do nothing. The people need not look to him,.
except it be to precipatatt' him from office before his
time, an • act of mercy' to the city cursed by his care, in
which we wish them all speed and success."
