THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1850.

Supposing such to have been the case, the result
would have been very soon manifested. The mer-
cantile constituents of these pseudo-Liberals would
have discovered with dismay and indignation
that the channels hitherto open almost un-
interruptedly for commercial correspondence
were stopped up abruptly and permanently through
their unjustifiable submission to Pharisaical humbug
and tyrannical superstition. Instead of receiving
their letters as usual on the Monday morning, the
business men of Manchester, or Liverpool, or Glas-
gow, or Edinburgh, would find themselves left en-
tirely without the information requisite for Ow con-
duct of their mercantile transactions until late on
Monday evening, or possibly in some instances
until Tuesday morning. The present delay of
twenty-four hours arising between the deli-
veries of Saturday and Monday would, conse-
quently, be increased to thirty-six or even
forty-eight hours. The injury inflicted by such super-
fluous delays it is scarcely possible in a mere hypo-
thesis to estimate. Very speedily, at least, those
injuries would have become so perceptible that the
Members already referred to would not have remained
much longer in ignorance of the indignation of their
various constituencies. That indignation would have
thundered upon them audibly enough, and the next
elections must have witnessed the only adequate ex-
piation of their short-comings.
Already we have held up the conduct of the so-
called Liberal representatives who voted the other
evening with Lord ASHLEY and his colleagues, we have
held up their conduct, we say, to the recollection of their
constituents. We observe that a similar course has
been pursued by our contemporary the Scotsman, in
reference to the Scotch Liberals whose names appear
in the same division list. The recollection of the
course pursued on that occasion by these representa-
tives will not very speedily be forgotten. As indi-
cating the readiness of these men to succumb to the
yoke of hypocrisy, the motion made by the Noble
Lord the Member for Bath has not been altogether
useless. It has revealed before the decisive struggle
has commenced between cant and common sense those
persons who may be regarded with confidence, and
those who are to be viewed with suspicion. Ia this
particular, at any rate, we repeat, the discussion of
the other evening, and the subsequent division, have
to a certain extent proved advantageous.
The impertinent daring latterly displayed by the Sab-
batarians is fast impelling them to attempt a wholesale
destruction of the few comforts and conveniences still
secured to our industrious and hardworking popula-
tion on Sundays. They are trying to close the post-
offices, to stop the mail trains, to prevent the vending
of such articles of consumption as tea, and coffee, and
sugar, and butter—they will soon, if not stopped in
their aggressive movement, interfere yet more irrita-
tingly with the domestic affairs and public require-
ments of the population. Their proceedings, indeed, are
rapidly getting beyond all bounds. Hitherto the
community has displayed a great deal too much long-
suffering towards them and their sanctimonious ma-
chinations. As matters are now turning out,
forbearance in regard to them is becoming absolutely
culpable. We feel this so strongly that, for our own
part, we set their miserable schemes henceforth at
naught. We put them—the whole ruck of them—at
defiance ; and are fain to express that defiance in the
sarcastic and scornful language of Lord BYRON—
" liaise not your scythes, suppressors of our vice,
Reforming saints too delicately nice;
By whose decrees, our sinful souls to save,
No Sunday tankards foam, no barbers shave,
And beer undrawn, and beards unmown, display
Your holy reverence for the Sabbath day!"
Those words of the noble satirist are not less appro-
priate as expressions of our disgust at their sanctis
monious affectation, than they are useful in reminding
us that the Sabbatarian movement is of old date : an
indecorous agitation that ought long since to
have been dead and buried with other matters
of obsolete character. It suggests, moreover, the
question whether it may not be just as well to put a
stop at length and for ever to a course of proceeding
which is only calculated to breed evil passions in re-
gard to a divine institution, and to render unpopular
a day that should be looked forward to with peculiar
reverence and satisfaction. The saints have had
their fling long enough. Now comes the turn
of the sinners. And proud are we to be
numbered amongst the ranks of the sinners, if by
sinning is meant a contempt for the sanctimonious
projects of my Lord ASHLEY and his associates.
Sinners we must be called, and sinners we are glad
to be considered, if by sinners are meant those who
do not regard common sense as incompatible with
Christianity. As such sinners, opposed to such saints
as the Sabbatarians, we draw the sword of opposition
for once and for all, and fling away for now and for
ever the scabbard of indifference.

It is indeed fortunate for the community in general,
more especially for the members of the Established
Church, that the Bishop of LONDON'S Bill for the
abolition of the Royal supremacy, and the establish-
ment of a spiritual despotism, has been so decisively
rejected by the House of Lords. If the "Ecclesias-
tical Courts Bill," as it was termed, had unhappily
received the Legislative sanction, it is impossible to
foresee the extent of mischief that would arise.
Polemical dissensions and disputes would pre-
vail throughout the length and breadth of
the land. Minor points of doctrine, which
are now wisely permitted to remain "open questions,"
would be argued with the utmost rancour. No al-
ternative would remain for the dissentients but to
abandon the Church, of which they could no longer
be considered members if they ventured to differ from
the judgment of the infallible majority. Nay, the
minority itself—perhaps thirteen of the most learned,
most respected, and most amiable of the Right
Reverend Prelates--might be compelled to adopt a
similar course, and to secede from the Establishment
of which they were the brightest and most con-
spicuous ornaments. We shall not presume to
anticipate the probable consequences, if even the
SOVEREIGN should hold with the minority of the
Right Reverend Bench, and be duly pronounced as
a " heretic and schismatic" by the new tribunal,
which then, indeed, would be invested with absolute
authority.
But it is not merely the Royal prerogative
that would have been invaded. The very
Articles of the Church itself would have
been set at nought. " The QUEEN'S Majesty
would no longer have the chief power
in this realm of England," at least in "matters eccle•
siastical." " General councils might be gathered
together without the commandment and will of
Princes ;" and they would be invested with absolute
"infallibility," and their decisions would be conclu-
sive and binding for all purposes, although we are
told in the 21st Article that, " forasmuch as they be
an assembly of men whereof all be not governed with
the spirit and word of Gon, they may err, and some-
times have erred even in things pertaining
unto G. OD." The appointment of a new bishop might
whatorde
windr would be practically a new reforma-
otabciry.ocinase:;a:inrnndy, the Church itself would be swayed about
ofta
gratify doctrine.

•
ment to dissension. There would be,
Noble Lord asserted in his admirable and convincing
speech, " an endless consideration and reconsidera-
tion of doctrines, which, if raised, would be decided
once for all—decided by an impartial tribunal—that
was to say, ,
by a tribunal with no pre-
conceived
weighopinions—learned evidence, and thus bestw
accus-
tomed
in the la
pre-
pared, when called upon by their SOVEREIGN
to inform her what ought to be the doctrine, what
was the fact, and what the law." lVe have at pre-
sent such a tribunal. The Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council are clothed with the authority of the
SOVEREIGN to decide on all question.; affecting the
Royal prerogative, and on other subjects of deep im-
portance to the country. It consists of men learned
y
in the law, accustomed to weigh evidence, and as
impartial as an
earthly court could possibly
be. These eminent persons are sworn to
administer justice according to their consciences, but
it
.was sought to make them the mere registers of the
opinions of another body ; whatever might be the
views they honestly entertained, they were to pro-
nounce their judgment in accordance with the deci-

sion of a bare majority of the Bishops, which would
" be binding and conclusive for the purposes of the
appeal."
It is vain to suppose that the measure was not in-
tended as a grave and heavy censure on the deci-
sion which the Judicial Committee pronounced
in the recent appeal of GORHAM v. the Bishop
of EXETER. The immediate withdrawal of the
authority with which they had previously been en-
trusted in a certain class of cases, and the substitution
of a new tribunal, especially constituted for the occa-
sion, would be a distinct declaration by the Legisla-
ture that they were dissatisfied with the course
pursued in that case, which, unfortunately, attracted
so large a share of public attention, and which had
produced an almost "distempered" state of mind in
many conscientious men. It, undoubtedly, gave
general satisfaction to all but the alders
and abbettors of the Bishop of EXETER in
his attempt to establish a sacerdotal, or
rather a prelatical autocracy. He has shown how
earnestly his mind is bent upon maintaining his ori-
ginal crotchet. The Courts of Queen's Bench and
Common Pleas have been in turn, and we
rejoice to say, fruitlessly appealed to. Another
application Ito the Court :of Exchequer :is pending,
and the judgment of the Council has not even yet
been obeyed.
We trust, however, for the sake of the Church
itself, that after the unequivocal majority against the
Bill on Monday evening, no further effort will be
made to disturb Parliament or the country, but that
men's minds will be suffered to relapse into that
state of quietude and tranquillity that is so essential
to the interests of true religion and to the welfare
and happiness of the country.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The proposition of M. POULD, to increase the al-
lowance of the PRESIDENT, was received with shouts
of derisive laughter by the Republicans and by the
Legitimatists. The following is the document which
he read from the tribune :

" Gentlemen, when the Constituent Assembly, by the
Bill of March 12, 1849, voted a provisional sum of
600,000 f. to the executive power for frail; de representa-
tion, it was well understood that if afterwards that
allowance was insufficient, the Legislative Assembly
would have the faculty to raise it to the level of the
necessities imposed on the first magistrate of the state
by the constitution, and by the habits of the country.—
(Noise on the Left.)

" The experience of more than a year has demon-
strated this insufficiency in the most absolute manner,
and, it being our duty to inform you of the same, we
uow come forward without hesitation to fulfil that duty.
" The expose des motifs of our constitutional compact
has defined the position, the dignity, and the attributes
of the President of the Republic, in terms which it is
ossential to place before you:—
" The Constitution, it is there declared, confers on him
all the attributes which appertain to the head of the
State; it is in him that is personified the action of France;
he knows, he promulgates, and he ezecutes the wishes of
the Republic. _ _

" If the Assembly is the soul of the Republic, he is its
arm; he represents it abroad, he disposes of its forces,
he gives an impetus to the Administration, and directs
it, and he is the protector of order, the defender of so-
ciety, the first magistrate of a powerful and free people,
he superior agent of a detnecracy. He ought, conse-
quently, to have at the same time the dignity and the
force of the acting law.
"It is that which we have desired in according to
that power all the rights which the Constitution at-
taches to his eminent position. We assign to him
supreme rack and authority; and his will ought not
to encounter any resistauce, for he commands in
the name of the law. All the movement of the
home and foreign affairs of the State depends on
him, ascends to him; and, in consequence, we de-
sire that he be placed by the Republic in the condition
of honour and prerogative 'which is fitting for him who
represents France with other nations. And if the salary
which we have appropriated to these functions has ap-
peared to us too circumscribed, the reason, in our
opinion, is, that the national treasury ought to provide
for all expenses of representation, the amount of which
will certainly exceed what we have fixed for his person.
" It was so, gentlemen, that the Committee on the
Constitution expressed itself. The anticipation which it
expressed i❑ these last lines was founded on a judicious
appreciation of the charges which were sure to weigh on
functions so highly placed. It, in fact, belongs to the
dignity of the Republic to give the means of properly
supporting the rank which he occupies to this first
magistrate, representing us, as ho does, with other
nations, who is placed by his duties in constant rela-
tions with foreign ambassadors in France, with all the
constituted bodies of the state, and who is obliged to
move about constantly, if he desires to study the wishes
and wants of the country.
" We may add, gentlemen, that political revolutions,
which may change i❑ a day the farm of a government,
do not modify with the same facility, and the same
promptitude, the habits of au ancient nation, where cer-
tain habits have taken deep root.
" In our country the chief of the state has okays been
considered as a second Providence (loud bursts of
laughter on the Left) constantly disposed to encourage
the arts, to recompense meritorious actions, and to suc-
cour the unfortunate.

" Now, as formerly, you are convinced, gentlemen,
that numerous sufferers deserving of interest raise from
all points of France their supplications towards the su-
perior chief of the Government, who, in the eyes of the
unfortunate, should personify the beneficent action of
the country.

" Ought his hands to remain absolutely closed ? Would
it be for the dignity and the interest of the Republic to
reduce its representative to an inability of doing good?
Would an economy, attended with such a deplorable re-
sult, be a wise one?

" We do not consider it necessary to insist on this
point to prove to the Assembly that the credit inscribed
In the budget is brought within too narrow limits to
allow the President to fulfil with dignity the obligations
attached to his position.

"It is a question of propriety, of personal apprecia-
tion, which cannot be discussed by details, which each
one must judge cf according to his own feeling of dig-
nity, and according to the opinion which he forms of
the duties of the President of the French Republic.
"It is in appealing to this sentiment, gentlemen, that
we propose to you to carry up the allowance of the
Executive Government to the sum of 250,000 f. a mouth.
It is well understood that by means of this grant the
creiit appropriated to the expense of the Elysee Is ill
disappear from the Budget of Public Works.
" Our proposition, gentleman, does not contain any
idea of innovation. The only question is to continue
what has been done for the last eighteen months within
proper limits, and to impose on the state charges for
public utility, to which it would be neither just, nor con-
stitutional, nor possible to continue any longer the cha-
racter of personal sacrifices. Such, gentlemen, is the
object of the Bill which we have the honour to present to
you.,,
The Republican journals, without exception, pro-
test against this attempt to raise the salary of the
PRESIDENT to 10,000 francs per day, and even
the Orleanists, having secured the reluctant con-
sent of the PRESIDENT to the Electoral Bill,
now refuse to perform their part of the con-
tract by supporting it. Thus speaks the Ordre,
the organ of the , niers and Odilon Barrot
party :—" The consequences of this proposition,"
says the Ordre, "will not be of such a kind as to
enable the PRESIDENT of the Republic to congra-
tulate himself upon them. Although the evil done
is already almost irreparable, the best course to
adopt would be, even now, to withdraw the Bill,
and rely on the generosity and gratitude of the
nation. Such advice will not, we feel convinced, be
followed, but the debate shall not have reached its
conclusion before the Ministry and PRESIDENT will
have discovered that they cannot congratulate them-
selves on the result. How has it happened, that
there was not a single friend by the side of the
nephew of NAPOLEON to warn him, that of all
undertakings this is the least elevated and the most
compromising ?"
The Legitimatists are opposed to the measure,
and threaten to join the Republicans, so that there is
every probability of the rejection of the proposition.
Count MOLE is suffering from severe illness. He
was seized in the kssembly, and was obliged to be at
once conducted to his residence.
General GOURGAUD having taken upon himself to
reproach M. CLARY, the cousin of the PRESIDENT, and
the Colonel of the Ist Legion of National Guards,
with having voted against the Electoral Law, that
gentleman has resigned his command.
Orders have been received at Brest countermand-
ing the levy of seamen which had been ordered.

SPAIN.
Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have arrived.
The Gtzreta of the day preceding contained the
following decree :
" Having present what has been established by my
august predecessors and the ancient custom of Spain,
respecting the category which the princes, immediate
successors to the Crown, ought to enjoy, I hereby de-
cree, in conformity with the proposal of the Council of
Ministers:—' Single article—The immediate successors
to the Crown, according to the Constitution of the
Monarchy, without distinction of males or females, shall
continue to be denominated Princes of Asturias, with
the honours and prerogatives which are consoquent on so
high a dignity.'
" Given at the Palace, May 26, 1850.
4i Is signed by the Royal hand.
" Countersigned, Duke of Valencia, President of the
Council of Ministers."

GERMANY.

The Weser Zeitung publishes a letter from Berlin
of the Ist June, which says M. VON INIANTEtirrEL,
Aide-de-Camp of his MAJESTY, and cousin of the
Minister who accompanied the Prince of PRUSSIA,
delivered to the CZAR at Warsaw an autograph letter
of the King of Paussta, declaring that Prussia will
never consent to the re-establishment of the ancient
Germanic diet, and that the policy of the Prince
of SCIIWAATZENBURG is the cause of the obstacles to
an agreement between the Governments. The Czatt
is invited by this letter to use his influence to effect a
change in the policy of Austria.
In Prussia the preparations for war still continue.
The greate2t activity reigns throughout all the war
departments, and horses are bought wherever they
can be procured. The expense of these preparations
is so great that it is thought there must be some
serious thoughts of war, while, on the other hand, it is
stated that the Government is assuming a strong at-
titude in order to command respect and thereby main-
tain peace.
The Leipsic Gazette, in speaking of the sudden dis-
solution of the Chambers of Saxony, says, that the
address which the Committee on German affairs
proposed to present to the KING contributed to the
dissolution. This address stated that it was impos-
sible to establish the German Diet, seeing that it was
dissolved on the 12th of July, 1848, and prayed that
his MAJESTY would give his Plenipotentiary at
Frankfort instructions to withhold the assent of the
Saxon Government to any acts tending to re-invest
the Diet with its former powers, and that if, not-
withstanding, the majority of the Plenipotentiaries
should vote for its re-establishment, Saxony should
protest, and withdraw from its deliberations • and
further, that no constitution establishing a Central
Power for all Germany should be voted, but under
the reserve of being ratified by the Saxon Chambers.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 7.000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken on speculation. Prices v,ere slightly in favour of
buyers.—ln Railway Shares a moderate business was
done at about previous quotations. _

Upon the state of the metal trade we have the follow-
ing information from a respectable broker, Mr. William
Short :—" In Welsh bar iron a considerable business
was done in the early part of the month, but without
any advance in the price, which I quote unaltered.
Staffordshire hoops, sheets, and nail rods have
been in moderate request at quoted prices. A strike
has occurred among the colliers in the neighbourhood of
Glasgow, and a large number of iron furnaces have been
put out of blast : consequent on this Scotch pigs have
commanded better prices, and a considerable business
has been recently done at prices up to 465. cash fur
mixed numbers, but I today quote it 455. 6d. Swedish
iron on the spot is scarce, and has been sold at equal
to 121. 2s. 6d. per ton. To arrive business has been
done at 121. per ton. Higher prices are demanded, and
no iron is being shipped from Sweden for this country
unless previously sold. Swedish steel is without
variation. English sheathing copper was on the 3d ult.
reduced id. per lb., and cake and tile 41, los.
per ton. At previous rates the demand was limited.
A large quantity of spelter was thrown on the market,
and taken at 141. 15s. to 15/. The stock now in London
is 3,845 tons, against 2,300 tons at this period last year."

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL, and Jus.
tices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and ERLE.)

THE QUEEN V. THE BIRAIINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY.

Lord CAMPBELL delivered the judgment of the Court
at the sitting of the Court this morning. His Lordship
said, the Court were of opinion that the prosecutor was
entitled to their judgment, but they were desirous to
have it understood that they gave no opinion upon the
points argued at the bar beyond what was necessary for
the decision of this case. On the 3d Aug., 1846, a
special Act was passed, empowering the defendants to
construct their railway, and on the 21st of January,
1847, the company gave the prosecutor notice that they
required to purchase a part of his house and premises,
and no further steps were taken by either party until the
3d May, 1849, when the prosecutor gave notice to the
company of the amount of his claim for the purchase of
the house and premises which the company required, and
for the damage which the severance would cause, and
demanded that the amount of compensation to which he
was entitlei should be determined by a jury. The com-
pany had neglected and refused to issue their war-
rant to summon a jury, and in August, 1849,
after the expiration of three years, the prose-
cutor applied to this Court, and the present mandamus
was granted for summoning a jury. The defendants
relied on the 123 d section of the Bth Victoria, c. 18, and
a similar clause in their special Act, whereby it was
enacted that the compulsory powers of the Act should
not be exercised after the expiration of three years from
the passing of the special Act. The Court thought that
limitation did not apply against the landowner, who
having within three years received notice that his laud
was required, and having within three years regularly
served them with notice that he required the compen-
sation to which he was entitled, to be determined by a
jury, and wishing to complete the sale of his laud, ap-
plied for a mandamus to compel the company to sum-
mon a jury. They did not think that the powers which
he wished to be exercised were the powers of the pro-
moters of the undertaking for the compulsory purchase
or taking of land. The case of Brocklebank v. the
Whitehaven Railway Company, as decided by the Vice-
Chancellor of England, was strongly impressed on the
Court; but that decision seemed to have been much
doubted by Lord Chancellor Cottenham when the case
was brought before him; and so far as it applied to a
case like the present, where the proceedings for com-
pelling the purchase originated with the landowner, the
Court thought it was not an authority that could be
acted on. The Court therefore gave judgment against
the defendants, and awarded a peremptory mandamus.

COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and

Justices MA IiLE, CRESSWELL, and TALFOURD.)
The Court was occupied on the demurrers this morn-
ing, which involved merely technicalities of pleading,
and afforded no materials for a report.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
MANDAMUS.—THE QUEEN V. THE MANCHESTER AND

SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.

Mr. CowLING moved for a rule nisi to show cause
why a writ of mandamus should not issue to compel the
above railway company to proceed with and finish their
works, according to their Act of Parliament. He moved
on an affidavit by Mr. Carswick, a gentleman of large
property in Lancaster, and through whose property the
intended line of railway was to have passed for several
miles, and would have greatly benefited it. Southport,
the intended terminus of the railway, was a bathing place
of recent origin. The company had cut down some trees
and broken down some fences on his property, and had
also formed about three miles of railway, near
Wigan, and that was all that had been done by them
towards making the line, and that was not for the pur-
poses of this railway, but merely to form a junction with
another railway. The affidavit, also, stated that Mr.
Carswick had not opposed the Bill for the formation of
the railway in Parliament, being under the impression that
the works would be proceeded with, and the line of rail.
way formed. There was also an affidavit from Mr. Park,
the attorney of Mr. Carswick, corrobrating the above
facts, and stating that various applications had been
made to the railway company to proceed with their
works, but no satisfactory answer had been obtained.
Notice had also been served on them that Mr. Carswick
intended to proceed by mandamus to compel them to
proceed with their works.
The Court granted a rule.
Rule nisi accordingly.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, and Barons ALDERSON
ROLFE, and PLATT.)
GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.

It being understood that Sir Fitzroy Kelly, who had
been unsuccessful in his application to the other two
superior courts of law far a prohibition in the case of
Gorham v. the Bishop of Exeter, would make a similar
application to the Barons of the Exchequer to-day, the
court was crowded with spectators, among whom there
were a considerable number of clergymen.
The Bishop of Exeter occupied a seat in the jury-box.
Sir FITZROY KELLY said he was instructed to move
their Lordships for a rule to show cause why a writ to
prohibit the Dean of the Court of Archesfrom issuing an
order to the Bishop of Exeter to induct the Rev. George
Cornelius Gorham into the living of Bampford Speke,
in the county of Devon, should not issue. In doing so, he
said it wosild be almost superfluous to mention that
he had made a similar application to the Courts of Ex-
chequer and Queen's Bench, and that both of those
courts refused to grant a rule.to show cause—the one on
a simple declaration of its opinion as to the construction
of certain Acts of Parliament, purporting to be sup-
ported by a reference to hostile considerations, and also
to what was supposed to have been the practice under
those Acts of Parliament ; and the other court 'on a
lengthy, detailed and much laboured, if not a well-con-
sidered judgment. He was bound to state, that if those
high courts of justice, or either of them, had in this case
pursued the uniform and settled course of practice which
had prevailed from the earliest times in Westminster-
hall, of allowing a point of law, novel in its nature, and
important in its principles, and at least open to much
question, and calling for much anxious and serious de-
liberation, to be argued at the bar, he, perhaps, might
have mistrusted his own judgment, and the better judg-
ment of his Learned Friends, as well as the uniform prac-
tice in Westminster-hall, and have felt bound to acquiesce
in the decision of those courts. But though it would
ill become him to allude in any other terms than those
of the highest and sincerest respect to either of those
courts, yet he felt that in the mode in which this case
had been met and disposed of they had departed from
the uniform and settled usage and practice which had
prevailed, without one single exception, for many centu-
ries in every court in Westminster Hall. The applica-
tion which he had made to those courts was of the
deepeat interest to thousands and tens of thousands of
her Majesty's subjects, and it had been heard sub
sileutio, and disposed of after a long deliberation of ten
days and many postponements in the Queen's Bench,
and many adjournments and an interval of three weeks
in the Common Pleas—in the one court without any
reason at all, and in the other with many detailed
reasons which he had no opportunity of meeting, and
which he would submit to their Lordships were entirely
fallacious and groundless, and in opposition to the
decision of some of the highest and ablest judges who
had ever sat on the bench. Under these circumstances,
he should not be doing justice to himself or to
the bar if ho did not state that his Right Reverend
Friend, and the tens of thousands who were deeply
interested in the question, had not received that justice
to which they were entitled, and it was with the view of
obtaining that justice that he now applied to their Lord-
ships. The question laid within a very narrow compass,
and turned upon the construction of two Acts of Parlia-
ment, the 24th of Henry VIII., c. 12, and the 25th of
Henry VIII., c. 19. In 1847 her Majesty appointed
the Rev. Mr. Gorham to the living of Bampford Speke,
of which she was the patroness, and it became the duty
of the Bishop ot Exeter, in whose diocese it was situated,
to inquire into the opinions of Mr. Gorham on certain
points of doctrine and the result of his examination
was that he considered the doctrines which he enter-
tained to be unsound, and, after allowing Mr. Gorham
due time for deliberation, he refused to induct him into

the living in question. Upon this Mr. Gorham aP;
pealed by means of a duplex querela to the Arches
Court of Canterbury, and the Judge, Sir Herbert
Jenner Fust, was of opinion, that the doctrines which be
held were unsound, and that the Bishop was justified is
refusing to admit him to the living. An appeal was
subsequently made to the Jud:cial Committee of her
Majesty's Council, before whom the case under-
went considerable discussion, and they directed
that a mandate should be issued to the judge of
the Arches' Court to reverse his judgment and
to restore Mr. Gorham to the living a which he had
been deprived. It was under these circumstances that
he came before their Lordships, and he had to submit
that on the true construction of the statutes to which he
had alluded, that an appal from the Arches' Court, in
which the Crown was interested, went not to the Judi-
cial Committee of her Majesty's Council, but to the
Upper House of Convocation. The Learned Counsel, in
support of this construction of the statutes, repeated the
arguments, which, having been so repeatedly before the
public, are now uninteresting, and contended, that in
taking the view which he did he was only following tie
dictum of Sir Edward Coke, Judge Blackstone, arid the
other great authorities on the subject. The case in.-
volved en important doctrine of law, and on that ground
he maintained should not be decided by the Court with-
out their granting a rule to show cause.
The Learned Counsel had not concluded when we
wont to press.

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS
(Before Mr. Under• Sheriff BURCHELL and a SpeClLl

Jury.)
RICHARDS AND ANOTHER V. HANDS.
This was a writ of inquiry to assess damages for
breach of covenant of a lease, and for defamation.
The plaintiffs are trustees under the will of a pdr•
Roots, for the benefit of infants, and defendant was for-
merly assignee of the remainder of the term of a lease of
a mansion at Clay-hill, Kingsbury, Middlesex.
Mr. Butt, Q.C., and Mr. Crow appeared for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Wilde for the defendant.
The witnesses for the plaintiff estimated the damage,
by not leaving the mansion in repair, at about 5001.
Mr. WILDE proceeded to address the jury for the de'
fondant, and intimated that he should call witnesses to
prove that defendant had been at great expense in re'
pairing, and that very moderate damages ought to be
awarded.

The cause is likely to last the greater part of the day

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY)
A VILLAIN.—William Plant, a young man, ivy's
brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination,
charged with having administered some poisonous drug
to Elizabeth Herbert, a young woman 19 years of age',
residing with her parents at 32, Union-street, Middle-
sex Hospital, in order to aid him in violating her person-
The prosecutrix, who appeared to be still very ill,
stated that on the night of the 17th of May, as she was
proceeding down Titcbfield-street, on her way home, the
prisoner came up to her and asked her to have some-
thing to drink. She refused two or three times, but at
last consented. The prisoner then took her to a public-
house at the corner of Portland-street, where they had
some brandy-and-water, after drinking which they hot
the house, and she recollected nothing more till she
found herself in Middlesex Hospital next day.
Mary Clacey, the barmaid at the public-house, in
Portland-street, identified the prisoner as the man Who
came into her employer's house with the prosecutrix,
on the night in question. The prisoner called for Sily,
pennyworth of brandy-and-water, with which she served
them.
Two young women, by the names of Phillips and
Miller, stated that they were passing down Little
Portland-street, about eleven o'clock, on the night of the
17th of May, when they saw the prosecutrix trying t°
git away from the prisoner, who was acting very in-
decently towards her. The prisoner subsequently left
her, and she immediately fell forward into the road, in
a state of insensibility. The prisoner attempted to
make his escape, but they contrived to detain him until
a constable came up, when the prisoner was secured,
and the prosecutrix was subsequently taken to the
hospital. They were positive the prisoner was the man;
The resident medical officer at Middlesex Hospital
said that the prosecutrix was brought to the Hospital
on the night of the 17th ult. She was in a state .ofin-
sensibility, and appeared to be suffering from the effect
of some narcotic poison. He applied the stomach-putnl3
and other remedies, but she did not come to her senses
until the next morning. She was also suffering from the
violence used by the prisoner in violating her person.
Police-constable 157 E stated that about half-past
eleven on the night of the 17th of May he was proceed-
ing past Little Portland-street, when his attention wait
attracted to the prisoner, who was in a very improper po-
sition with the prosecutrix, who appeared to be totally un-
conscious of the prisoner's conduct. Witness went 111)
and pulled him away, when the prosecutrix fell into the
road. As she seemed to have been drugged, he took
charge of the prisoner, and some gentlemen having pro-
cured a cab, the prosecutrix was placed therein and taken
to the hospital.
Mr. Gilliam, who appeared for the prisoner, stated
that the prosecutrix and the witnesses had mistaken the
prisoner for the real culprit, and he should be able to
prove that the prisoner was not there at all on the night
in question.
The prisoner, who was remanded from Saturday Ito,
in order to allow time for the depositions to be completea,
was fully committed for trial.

LAMARTINE'S THOUGHTS ON POETRY.
So long as man himself survives, can his finest factiltie
be extinguished? And is not poetry that faculty?
Since it constitutes all that is divine within us, it cannot
be defined by one word or a thousand words. It is an
incarnation of all that is most precious in the heart of
man, and most holy in his spirit, of all that is WO
sublime in the aspect of nature, and most melodious tie
her tones. It is, at the same time, sentiment and sell:
sation, mind and matter, and this is the reason that it is
a complete laugusge—the language which, above all,
appeals to man through his entire humanity--au ides'
for the spirit, sentiment for the soul, image for the fan*
and music for the ear! This is why this language, when
well spoken, strikes man like a thunder-peal, overpowers
him with internal conviction, or irresistible evidenee, or
enchants him like a magic potion, or rocks him into
moveless pleasure like a child charmed in its cradle by
the touching refrains of its mother's lullaby. Bello iC
is that man can neither create nor bear too much poetry'
for possessing him wholly by his soul and sense, excitit
at the same time, this double faculty—thought,
thought, sense by sensation, it exhausts him, it weig.-.
him down too soon, like all too-exquisite joys, with
voluptuous weariness, and causes him to express, to ''°,l
few verses and brief time, all the innermost life an
'
power of sentiment in his double organization. Pro 94)
addresses itself only to the mind; poetry speaks to es
mind and the sensations at the same time. This isi c
guage, all mysterious, all instinctive as it is, or rather
because it is mysterious and instinctive,—this 'language
will never die! It is not—as people have not ceased to
say, in spite of the successive contradictions of all ages
the' i
is not solely the language of mankind's infancy; it in
language of all the periods of humanity, siinople s'"d
modest in the babyhood of nations, story-teelling,!d,
marvellous as the nurse at the bedside of toe "le,
loving and pastoral with young and pastoral, people'
warlike and epic with contending and conquering hordes'
mystical, lyrical, prophetic, or sententious, in the she„°d
cracies of Egypt or Judea; grave, philosophical,

corrupting in the matured civilizations of Rome,
rence, of Louis XIV.; reckless and noisy in the ere%
of convulsion and ruin, as in the ear 1793; 'inv..%

time, in days of new birth and social reconstructio
