LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 2O, 1850.

cr disgust friends and alienate supporters, with
impunity.

The present week has witnessed no less than three
successive defeats on a single measure, the Attorn eye'
Certificates Bill. After the calm and deliberate de-
cision of the House on Monday evening, by which the
'second reading was carried by a majority of 17 in a
House where 261 Members were in attendance, we
had hoped no further question would have been raised
on the principle of the Bill, or attempt made to induce
the representatives of the people to stultify themselves
by rescinding their former decision. It was no crude
or hasty resolution, carried by surprise in a thin
Assembly, which owed its success to a train of for
tuitous circumstances. It was not an act which, if
carried into operation, would occasion great confusion
and inconvenience to all classes, which would prevent
anxious parents from receiving intelligence of afflicted
children whose lives were trembling in the scale, or
prevent children from soothing the death-beds of their
suffering parents. It was simply a measure of justice
to an aggrieved class, who, under the sanction of
law, have been compelled to contribute more than
their fair proportion to the national exchequer. And
the only possible effect of its being carried is that
there would be a loss of 100,0001. per annum, or
thereabouts, to the revenue, and that at a time when,
according to the statement of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, there will be a clear surplus of 750,0001.
or upwards to be applied to the reduction of the na-
tional debt. This, then, crede Sir CHARLES WOOD,
was a point on which there should be " no surrender,"
where the resistance should be carried on
through every stage and by every means,
per fas aut nefas. Accordingly, not con-
tented with being left in a minority on the
first division, when the Noble Lord the Member for
Middlesex obtained leave to bring in the Bill, or again
when its principle was affirmed on the second reading
—the Right Hon. Baronet, on Thursday, moved that
the House should go into Committee on the Bill on
that day three months, the effect of which would be
fatal to the measure during the present session. On
that occasion he judiciously abstained from assigning
his reasons, or entering into argument against
the Bill—arguments which we unhesitatingly
say operated more in its favour than those of its
staunchest supporters. Ile was, however, again de-
feated, but not so disgracefully as on former ocean
sions, the victory being only gained by a majority of
two. This decision being considered conclusive,
many Hon. Gentlemen left the House, naturally
enough supposing that there could be no further
danger to the Bill, and that the only points on which
differences could arise would he minor points of de-
tail. This was an opportunity not to be neglected,
and accordingly a motion was made, that the
chairman do leave the chair. It was true,
that no member of the Government proposed that
resolution, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer de-
clared that "it was not made with the sanction of the
Government," but he at the same time, and we re-
gret to say the Premier, avowed their intention of
taking advantage of an act which they would have
been ashamed to have originated, by voting for the
motion, because "it would have a tendency to defeat
the Bill." Well might Lord ROBERT GZLOWENOR
complain in indignant terms of such a pro-
ceeding after his having on three several occa-
sions consented to postponements, at the re-
quest, and in order to meet the convenience,
of the Government. The remonstrances were in
vain, although proceeding from so steady a supporter
of the Whig policy. A division was taken, and again
the Ministry were defeated, the majority in this in-
stance being increased to seven. The Bill then
passed through Committee, and the report was or-
dered to be considered on Monday next.
After the course already adopted, we have no hope
that there will be any concession, although that
concession to the opinion of the House would not
be attended with the same grace as if it had been made
on a former occasion. We, therefore, trust that the
independent Members friendly to the measure will
attend in their places, in order to frustrate any "art-
ful dodges" that may be attempted. They have al-
ready proved their strength, and let them not now in
the moment of victory exhibit any apathy or negli-
gence that may by any possibility convert their
former triumphs into an ignominious,defeat.

THE LAST of the GORHAM CASE.
COURT OF ARCHES.—(THIS DAY.)

GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.
(Before Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST, Mit.)
This morning, it being known that Sir Herbert Jenner
Fust had appointed an extra court day for the purpose
of receiving the return by the Lord Bishop of Exeter of
the letters of presentation of the Rev. George Cornelius
Gorham, by her Majesty, to the vicarage of Bampford
Speke, the court was unusually crowded with clergymen,
laymen, and others,who appeared to take the most lively
interest in the matter, from the fact that it had been
stated that the Bishop of Exeter would attempt to enter
a protest on the records of the court to the return of the
letters of presentation, with a view to ulterior proceed-
ings in the Court of Chancery.
The Registrar, at the sitting of the Court, then for-
mally called on the case of Gorham v. the Bishop of
Exeter for a return of the letters of presentation, when,
Dr. ADDAMS rose and said this case was to be men-
tioned to-day, and I have now to state that the Bishop
of Exeter, in compliance with the monition, has brought
in the presentation.
The JUDGE—When?
Dr. ADDAMS—Novi; Mr. Toiler has it in his Lands.
At the same time, the Bishop of Exeter desires me to
say that be has accompanied the presentation with a
protest.
Mr. BowinEft—That is a very unusual course.
Dr. ADDAMS—It is only explanatory.
Mr. BowDLER—It will be a question for the Court as
to whether the protest shall be received.
Dr. ADDAMS—It does net affect the presentation.
Mr. BowDLER—It may not.
The JUDGE—I don't understand this. Is the order
of the Court of Exchequer brought in?
Dr. ADD MS—Yes.
The JUDGE—If it had not, Mr. Bowdler's ceurse would
have been to have asked the Court to have pronounced
the Bishop in contempt.
Mr. BOWDLER—It would, Sir.
The JUDGE—The presentation cannot be brought be-
fore the Court like this. The presentation is brought in
for the first time with a protest, and the Court will not
receive it.
Dr. ADDAMS—WiII the Court like to let it stand over
till next—
The JUDGE—No; I ought to have had notice that this
protest was to have been brought in; indeed, the pre-
sentation ought to have been brought in absolutely.
Dr. ADDAMS—It is only the Bishop's explanation.
The JUDGE—I have nothing to do with the Bishop.
Dr. ADDAMS—WiII you let it stand over?
The JUDGE—NO; I shall not, I shall accept the pre-
sentation, and reject the protest.
The letters of presentation were then handed In, and
Ala protest torn off.
Mr. Gorham will be ins'i'uted to the living by the
Archbishop of Canterbury next week.

PARISH OF ST. MA RY• STRAND.-1, fist night
the vestry of this parish unanimously elected the beadle for
this pariah in the room of the late Mr. Hurst, who died a few
days ago, after a long illness of a most painful nature. The
choice fell on the son of the deceased, George Hurst, who, no
doubt, will fulfil the duties, of his office as faithfully as his
late father, who died generally respected by the parishioners.
At the same time, Mrs. Hurst, widow of the deceased, was
re-elected as sextouess, a duty which she has performed with
perfect satisfaction to the inhabitants of the parish generally.
The elections reflect great credit on the vestry for their feel-
ing towards a meritorious and deserving family.
THE NEW HOUSE or Comoro vs.—lt has been de-
cided by the Committee to try the effect of lowering the roof
of the new House of Commons. Mr. Barry has undertaken
to have a temporary inner roof of light timber erected, the cost
of which will not exceed 100/. ; and when this alteration
shall be made it is proposed to test the acoustic properties of
the chamber in another sitting before the end of the sessioc.
We believe that on Monday week, the 'Atli inst., the new
experiment will be put to the proof.
REPRESENTATION OF TAMIVORTH.—Tamwonnr,
FRIDAY.—The election of a representative for this borough,
in the room of the late Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, took
place in the Town-hall this day. 'The Mayor presided. Mr.
Bramall proposed, and Mr. Robinson seconcle..l, the nomina-
tion of the present Sir R. Peel to succeed his lamented
father in the representation of the borough. There was no
opposition, and the returning-officer having declared Sir R.
Peel duly elected, the meeting separated.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was less
active, the sales being eq:matcd at 6,000 bales. Prices
were fully maintained.—Railway Shares continued dull
and declining. file market closed very flat.
The return of the Eauk of Et:gland's monetary trans-
actions last week exhibi•s material changes in conse-
quence of the quart-rly payments on Government no-
count. The putilie deposits sustained a diminution of
nearly one-haT, and thu private balances were increased
to a larger amount even than customary ; a Ne ry con-
vincing proof, in conjunction with the extensive repay-
ment of loans made upon securities, while the transfer
books were closed,,,of the abundant means at the disposal
of traders and capitalists, and the limited opening for
their profitable employment. The circulation was in-
creased as a matter of course, but only to the extent of
the balance between the withdrawals and the deposits.
Compared with the previous return, the changes during
the week to the 13th inst, are as follows:

yesterday was about an average compared with that
which has recently been transacted. Paris paper at 90
days was taken et 25 6.2 f to 67k, Amsterdam at 12 2i to

The letters and papers by the Royal Mail steamer
Thames were delivered late yesterday afternoon. Ge-
nerally the weather had been more favourable for the
crops. The necessity of developing the untried resources
of the different colonies was continually, and very pro-
perly, dwelt on. In Trinidad the great bitumen lake
was sought to be made available, and, it is, said, would
furnish an excellent supply of gas to New York and
other towns.

There WttS still some excitement about the gold mines
stated to have been discovered in Angostura, and five
or six gentlemen had proceeded from Trinidad for the
purpose of obtaining more accurate information, prior to
a considerable number of the colonists trying their for-
tune in that directi,n.

From Hayti there are advices of June 16. They con-
tain nothing of a warlike character, and quiet prevailed
throughout the island. The expedition of the Haytians
against the Dominicans, which has been so long in pre-
paration, has been delayed or postponed, and it is re-
ported that the Emperor has recently adopted the arts
of diplomacy for a settlement of the contentions which
have so long distracted the island, but his laudable efforts
at negotiation have proved as unsuccessful as his former
warlike expeditions. He selected the French Consul at
Port-au-Prince for his agent in the business, and dis-
patched him to the Dominicans, with a proposal that he
would assume the payment of all their debts, if they
would consent to give up the contest, and resign all go-
vernment to the Haytians, or what would amount to the
same thing, thus forming one nation. The Emperor
considered this a very liberal proposition, but it was in-
dignantly rejected, and his agent returned.
The exports of the precious metals from London in

and signed by 10 electors of the West Riding, tequesting
me to vote in favour of Mr. Roebuck's motion. My reply
was purposely delayed until the political atmosphere ha:l
cleared itself from the storms with which it was at that
time disturbed, in order that I might ensure a calm
and unimpassioned reception to my answer. I regret
that a sense of duty to my constituents and my own
conscientious convictions compelled me to oppose
your wishes, and to separates myself for the moment
from nearly all those political friends with whom
I usually act; I say a sense of duty to my con-
stituents, because I believed that I had their hearty
sanctiL.-a for the views I entertained respecting the foreign
policy of the country—views which I fully explained at
the Wakefield and other important meetings. At the
oFeahig of the present session I felt myself sustained
and encouraged by the conviction that the largest and
most powerful constituency of the kingdom was favour-
able to the substitution of a more humane and confiding
system for that spirit of antagonism and defiance which
had hitherto ebaraetetrised the intercourse of nations.
The cheers with which the great delegate meeting at
Wakefield pledged itself and pledged me to a continued
advocacy of international arbitration and a mutual reduc-
tion of armaments were still fresh in my memory, when
the news arrived that a fleet of 15 British ships of war
were blockading the coast of Greece, followed by the in-
telligence of the refusal, by our Government, of the
French offer cf arbitration, and the tidings of the diplo-
matic protests which had been made against our conduct
by the representatives of nearly every part of Europe.
From the moment that it was known that fifteen ships
of war were assembled in the Bay of Salamis to enforce
upon the Greek Government a disputed claim of a few
thousand pounds, I became anxious to have the oppor-
tunity of renewing my motion in favour of arbitration
tieatics, and of bringing forward that case as a power-
ful illustration in support of my argument. In conver-
sation with my friend Mr. Bright, I repeatedly expressed
my intention to make the Greek affair my main argu-
ment, and thus give practical direction to the debate.
From Easter till Midsummer I scarcely missed one op-
portunity of ballotting for a day to bring on my motion,
Out with such an uniformity of ill-luck us at last to draw
sympathizing smiles from the Speaker and the Clerk al
the table.

In the meantime Lord Stanley- gave notice of a motion
condemnatory of the conduct of the Government in the
affair of Greece. No sooner was the decision of the
Lords known than it was felt that the existence of the
Government depended upon their verdict being reversed
by the Commons.
And now appeared the cloven foot of party in its most
hideous deformity. To insure the desired result the cry
was raised that the Greek motion was part and parcel
of a " foreign conspiracy." A large party in the Lords,
with Lords Stanley and Aberdeen at their head, were
charged with forming part of a gang of conspirators,
whose confederates mere spread over Russia, France,
and AUstria. Now that we can look back calmly at this
party device, we must admire the audacity of its in-
ventor. I confess that the success of the cry astonished
me. In the first French revolution it required torrents
el the best blood of the country to be shed on the scaf-
fold to lay the ghost of a" foreign conspiracy." In our
own history of the disgraceful latter half of the 17th
century we find plots without number attributed
by their inventors to the agency of foreign coo-
spirators. But they were epochs when free in-
stitutions wire in their infancy. I thought we
had reached a political maturity which would have
euablei us to look steadily at such raw-head-
and-bloody-bones, and de:ect the scooped turnip
and white sheet out of which they %ere ma-
nufactured. But the plot succeeded, and it
was in the midst of the excitement caused by
the cry of a foreign conspiracy, by threats of disso-
lution, end of the resignation of the Ministry, that Mr.
Roebuck's motion was brought forward. This resolu-
tion called on the louse not only to approve the pro-
ceedings of our Government in Greece, but to express
ita approbation of their foreign policy generally. The
main object of his motion, be it always remembered, was
to reverse the vote of the House of Lords, and I was thus
practically called on to approve the refusal of French ar-
bitration, and the employment of 15 ships of war in the
bay of Salamis, for the collection of a debt of a few
thousand pounds.

And now comes the question, was I justified in adher-
ing to my principles after they had been made the battle
ground for the Tory opposition? Admitting, for the
sake of argument, that Lord Stanley was merely follow-
ing the tactics of an Opposition leader—that he was
seeking for a favourable position hum which to assail
the party in power—that having observed the great meet-
ings which we had held in Yorkshire and Lancashire in
favour of an improved and more civilized mode of set-
tling international disputes—that having seen how I was
pledged at the groat delegate meeting ut Wakefield
to renew my advocacy of arbitration treaties—that
believing the advocates of a reduction of armaments and
of financial reform to be in earnest—and seeing that the
conduct of the Government in Greece was violating our
principle of arbitration and thwarting our projects for a
reduction of armaments;—that, seeing all this, Lord
Stanley, looking around fur popular support, determined
to make the Greek affair the battle ground of party. I
will admit, fur the sake of argument, that he had no
higher motives for his motion than to carry a vote, with
our aid, in condemnation of the proceedings of the Go-
vernment in Greece; and after admitting all this, the
question remains, ought I to have adhered to my prir-
ciplcs under such circumstances? lam told that there
are some of my friends in Yorkshire and Lancashire who
think I ought not to have walked into the same lobby
with the Tories. They cannot have been members of
the League who say so. Would the corn-laws have
ever been abolished if we had not had men in our front
ranks who were proof against the old war-cry of Whig
and Tory ? Such a doctrine may suit cliques and clubs,
but what would the great public say to it?
Try one of your large meetings v ith a resolution
affirming that your representative ought to abandon his
principles rather than endanger the Government by
voting with the Tories, and one indignant " No" will be
the response.. . _ _

Looking calmly back at the course I took on Mr.
Roebuck's motion, I can conscientiously say that I never
gave a vote upon which I could refl.ct with more un-
alloy ed satisfaction. _

My political friends who took a different course may
hare been at lilthty to do so because they have not
taken a prominent part in the advocacy of the principles
involved, or they may not have felt as I did the import-
ance of the queBtion.

But withall my speeches and writings upon record, I
should have been a hypocrite and something worse if I
had not recorded my vote in opposition to Mr. Roebuck's
motion.

ry'
It is not my intention to enter upon the discuSsion of
the great question of our foreign policy involved in the
late debate. A few words must suffice until we have
other and better opportunities of renewing the topic.
Without egotism, I may perhaps say that few English-
men have had better opportunities of learning the effect
of our foreign policy upon other countries than myself.
I travelled throughout Europe under the rare circum-
stances of having free access, at the same time, to the
Courts and Ministers and to the popular leaders of the
Continental states. 1 came back convinced that the in-
terference of our Foreign-office in the domestic affairs of
other countries worked injuriously for the interests of
those towards whom ail my sympathies were attracted—
I mean the people—by exciting exaggerated hopes, en-
couraging prercature efforts, and teaching reliance upon
extraneous aid, when they ought to be impressed with
the necessity of self-dependence. I found, too, that the
principle of intervention, which we sanctioned by our
example, was carried out by other Governments in op-
position to ours, without scruple, and with at least equal
succors to ourselves.

But it is not merely to the interests of foreigners that
we ihould look, even if successful. I should doubt the
justice of burdening our people with the expense (for
the system is an expensive one) of undertaking, through
our Government, to influence the doctrines of other na-
tions. The more I have seen of foreign countries the
less do I partake of the comfortable delusion that we
are placed at such, an immeasurable height above all
other races, creeds, and languages, that their progress
and liberties depend entirely upon our fostering care
and assistance. It is gratifying to our self love to be
told that 36,000,000 Frenchmen, 40,000,000 Germans,
60,000,000 Prussians, and 20,000,000 Italians look to
us for assistance to emancipate them from tyranny,
and that without our countenance they must re-
main for ever in their present state of degradation.
I am sorry to say it, but -tho mass of our la-
bouring population, if we include in the average the
Irish paupers and our rural peasantry, have very little
reason to boast of their condition as compared with the
mass of the people on the continent. I am, therefore,
for keeping the attention of the Government directed to
home questions, and for testing their merits by their
home policy. lam opposed to tho principle of making
them in any way responsible for the good government
of foreigners; and upon.the same principle I will never
consent to make the proffered liberality of their foreign
policy the ground of popular support in this country.
And whilst I would thus limit the functions of Govern-
ment to its proper duties and responsibilities, I yield to
no in warmth or width of my sympathies, as an
individual, for the progress of human liberty and happi-
ness throughout the whole world. Apologising for the
length of this letter, I remain, dear Sir, your obedient
servant, RICHARD COBDEN.
