lately joined to it, and swarms with canons,
deans, prebends, Ek.c. If the presence of well-
paid parsons, a multitude of clerical sinecurists,
and the near superintendence of a •olerably well
endowed Bishop, could secure the Church flock
against the machinations of the impious
men who wish in some reseects to reduce
our clergy, and in others to raise them some-
what nearer to the level of the apostolic standard,
no population ought to be so thoroughly im-
bued with church and state principles as Ro-
cheser, Ch alum, and its neighbourhood. Wha,
can be the reason of the church being bearded
in one of its strong hulls ? Is it possible that
as in Italy the people are worse Catholics than
the people of Ireland because they know the
POPE better? For the same reason the people
of Chatham are more of them sectarians than
the people of Manchester. Is it only neces
sary to see the church establishment closely, in
order to convince men of its being an expensive
folly ? Is it merely requisite that the people
should see who it is receive thousands of pounds
for doing what might be done for hundreds, to
convince them of the needlessness of the ex-
pense ? We have hitherto thought that Dis-
senters were created by some scruples on points
of doctrine as well as of discipline, but it would
appear from the contrast afforded by Chatham
and Manchester, that it is the ministers of the
Established Church themselves who, by their
conduct convert, the people to sectarianism
These arc signs of the times not to be
mistaken. We have long anticipated them,
and as friends of the principle of the discipline
of the Established Church have urged upon
those who profess themselves such (but by their
infatuated conduct show they are its worst ene-
mies), to come forward with some remedy, that
would go to the root of the evils complained
of. They have delayed doing so, and the con-
sequence is, that the establishment is on the
point of falling under the weight of its own
abuses. The rottenness of its corruptions is
so great, that they will no longer prop up the
tottering fabric. Bishoprics, deaneries, preben-
daries, fat rectories, endless pluralities, distributed
as bribes amongst the relations of the aristocracy,
have hitherto induced that aristocracy to main-
tain an enormous establishment to perform a
duty which might have been performed at half
the cost. But they have carried the matter too
far. A certain number of rotten boroughs might
have been tolerated, and by their help the aris-
tocracy long maintained the most expensive
machinery of Govei nment in the world ; but
rotten boroughs increased till they stank in the
no-trils. So a certain number of pluralities
have been suffered, and a certain number of
abuses would for a long time to come have been
passed over, but they have either multiplied too
much, or the people have become too en-
lightened, any longer to bear with them, and
somehow or other they will be got rid of. Ver-
burn sap.

The question of the legality or otherwise of
the verdict lately given by the Jury who sate
on the body of CULLY, the policeman, wits yes-
terday brought before the Court of King's Bench.
Sir J. CAMPBELL contended that the verdict
was defective in point of law, and ought there-
fore to be quashed ; but Mr. O'CONNELL, who
is quite as sound, and more experienced, a
lawyer than the Solicitor- General, has boldly and
publicly declared his opinion that it is strictly
legal. How this may be, we know not, but of
one thing we are pretty certain, namely, that Sir
JOHN'S at.empt to set aide the verdict is most
si►ly and preposte,ous, and one that, we fear, will
be a tended with disastrous results to the Minis-
try The vesdict, if unmeddled with, would hav-
been anine-d iys wonder and no more; now.
fair to take a strong hold on public attention,
and be a -ort of rallying point for party spirit.
Whether the verdict be correct or incorrect, is a
question scarcer• of so much moment, as whether
the attemp• to put it aide he expedient or other-
w►se. We contend, looking at all the circum
,itances of the case, that it is a highly inexpedient
proceeding. If obnoxious Coi,.ners verdicts
nay be rescinded with as much facility as a vote
in the House of Commons—and we have seen
a late troublesome vote set aside with remarkable
pleghtn—what Juryman will think it worth his
while to devote his best time and attention in
coming to a conscientious opinion ?
Nlinisters seem wilfully blind to the tendency 01
their present conduct : but let them beware the
constquences.

SUN OFFICE, Three o'clock.

The Coroner's Inquest that sat lately on the
body of CULLY, the policeman, has been en-
tirely quashed this afternoon by the King's Bench,
on the ground that on the face of the inquisition
there was nothing to justify the verdict. A full
report will be given in our Second Edition.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

We have received the following account of the disturbances
at Para (Brazil) by a ship arrived at Havre, called the Amazon :
" This country is in a most deplorable state, and the ships
have lain in the roads for these six days past. The residences
of the Consuls and foreign merchants are encumbered with
families seeking refuge against the excesses committed. The
coloured party oppose the installation of the new authorities
named by the Regency. The revolt took place on the sth of
March, and they obliged the Council to assemble, when they
declared that they would not lay down their arms until after
their decision, and demanded of them to oppose the reception of
the new functionaries, who had just arrived on board a
packet-boat at the time they were in deliberation, since
which the new authorities have remained on board with-
out being able to land. Terror prevails in all the towns, and all
warehouses are closed. The English, French, and American
Consuls, as well as the foreign merchants, keep open their
houses to receive the unfortunate families, and protect them
under their flags."

Accounts from Paris state that the Ambassador of Don
Pedro had an audience of M. Broglie, and it was in agitation
to advance Don Pedro ten millions of francs.
THE FUNDS.

The taking off' the embargo on the Dutch shipping, appears
to give general satisfaction. The commerce with Holland will
now resume its former activity, and the peace of Europe will
be maintained for the present,

Consols, which left off yesterday at 8.9 % for the Account,
opened at the same price, since which the market is not so
good, and Consols have receded to 89 %. This may be at-
tributed to our local affairs, particularly the West India ques-
tion, which will be debated this evening, and no doubt with
great warmth. It is feared that Ministers are determined to
carry it at all hazards.

HALF-PAST ONE.

The Funds are heavy since the early part of the morning,
when Consols were 89 % ; at present they may be quoted 89 !,,,, x
for the Account.
