Sabbatical, :wailing of the Bishop

fares of third-class railroad

unchristian fulminations
of the Bishop of EXETER
against all other creeds
and
shades of religious pro-
ressioici but his own. Not less vigorous was the
hit which Are.. VIDSON dealt at the sensitiveness of
those pro-corn-lAv landlords who are so marvel-
lously jealous of our national honour, and so gene-
rously indifferent to the responsibilities of any war we
may plunge into to vindicate it, but the genuine mo-
tive of whose readiness for war is to be qualified, as
11,- observed, by the reflection that war is the mother
of high agricultural prices. We need hardly com-
mend, the cutting irony with which he con-
trasted the s'
'k`,4Kited rivalry of landowners' in feeding
their "stalled o';:".",' to a degree of obesity which
made it necessary \ior them to be assisted in getting
on their legs, and their indifference to the craving
pangs of famished peasants, who cannot use their
limbs from the very langour of physical inanity and
hunger. /111. Connate: speech was one of those
manly efforts of remarkably compact and ready
mind, stored withh-all information on the question
to the elucidation of which its best powers
are difocted, that admit of no descriptive analysis,
which wouizl.,not tend to impair their effect. We
earnestly recon3i'end it to the careful perusal of
every reader. It rnii;t gratify men of all parties,
from its vigour and simplicity, unless we ex-
cept, indeed, the writer of an article in the Morn-
ing Post, of which pleasant mention was made by
the Hon. Gentleman, in tracing the philosophy of
incendiarism to the misapprehensions of a psuedo-
political economy. We suppose that the public will,
by next session, confirm the judgments and services of
this crusade against monopoly, by a verdict equiva-
lent to complete success; a well-merited reward for
so much consistency and perseverance as the League,
under such able leaders, have shown throughout all
I fortunes.

Madrid papers of the 31st ult. have been received,
but they do not bring later intelligence than that
which appeared yesterday in a telegraphic dispatch.
More arrests had taken place, and a conspiracy was
said to have been discovered at Barcelona among the
troops, the object of which was to seize on the fort of
Montjuich, and that several officers and under-officers
have been arrested, and imprisoned as being implicated
in the affair.
The following is the latest intelligence from Gib-
raltar, and is stated to be official
" GIBRALTAR, JULY 28.--IThe Chanellor of the
Consulate and all our countrymen have retiree.: from
Tangiers, with the consent of the local authorities.
The Albion was sent on the 27th to Tangiers, with an
officer, to take charge of the squadron in the roads,
under the title of Commodore.

" All the Consuls have quitted Tangiers. The
English Vice-Consul has returned there. The arrival
of Mr. DRUMMOND HAT is hourly expected."

The close of the French Chambers has given M.
GUIZOT some relief from the attacks of Members re-
specting the Otaheite affair, but none from the press.
Most of the journals continue their rage and fury
against England, as if France had sustained some
grievous insult from us. They are not even satisfied
with the result of the court-martial on Lieut. GRAY.
Nothing, indeed, will satisfy the insane writers in
these journals but war, or the utter humiliation of
England. A determined attack was prepared against
M. GurzoT, at the sitting on Monday, which was to
have been commenced by M. BIIRRYER, supported by
M. BILLAULT, but the impetuosity of M. Da LA
ROCHEJACQUELIN defeated their object. M. GUIZOT
took advantage of his indiscretion, and gave such an
answer that no further questions could be put with any
degree of propriety. " I shall hold here," said he, " the
same language I have held in the other Chamber.
Allusion has just been made to a question which is,
indeed, pending between the two Governments.
There are in it conflicting facts and rights which
must be cleared up and made to agree before they be
discussed in this House. This question must be
treated and solved, between the two Governments.
Such is what I have to do at this moment ; 1 shall do
it, having due respect to the rules and forms which
preside over friendly international relations, and
maintaining the rights, honour, and dignity of the
agents of France, and of her naval officers in parti-
cular. When the question, shall have been solved, I
shall have to justify before the Chamber both what
the Government shall have done and the motives for
which it shall have thus acted. At present I should
be wanting in every duty to the KING and the coun-
try if I said more on the subject." The National thus
raves on the subject :-
44 The situation of England towards France, with re-
gard to Otaheite, is openly hostile. At Morocco she
imposes on us
_her imperious will ; at St. Petersburgh
she threatens us : we everywhere find her usual jealousy
and perfidy, and this is precisely the moment chosen to
compromise the King.by an act of courtesy to which
malevolence may give a serious bearing, Does not the
Minister fear that France will consider this as an insult
to all the sentiments she feels at this inopportune visit ?
Is this the time for the French Government to play the
part of a devoted friend to England, when perhaps the
future may contain a striking and approaching rupture
hetween the two States ? The Government has already
sacrifi'ed enough to that falsehood which it calls entente
cordiale.' It is time, in our opinion, even in the interest
of the dynasty itself, which the Minister pretends to
serve, that no one should be put in peril but himself ;
it is high time that M. Guizot puts a stop to his continual
policy of humiliation."
Various reports were current at Paris of the course
which the French Government proposed to pursue
relative to this troublesome affair. Among others,
it was said, that M. GUIZOT had forwarded a com-
munication to Lord ABERDEEN, in which he admits
that the conduct of Captain D'Auniasr was rather
hasty, and perhaps harsh, in sending Mr. PRITCHARD
to prison, and keeping him from communicating
with his family and friends ; but he considers him
perfectly justified in the circumstances in sending
Mr. PRITCIIARD out of the Society Islands.
Viewing the whole bearings of the question, M
GUIZOT comes to the conclusion that, although Capt.
D'AuBIGNY's conduct may merit a reprimand, it was
not so far beyond the limits of his duty as to warrant
the Government either in dismissing him from the
service, or even in withdrawing him from his post in
the Pacific.

The Journal des Debats makes the following re-
marks on th© result of the Court-martial held on Lieu-
tenant GRAY : •

" This judgratats.tiAshows anything, proves that the
English Government, rat from encouraging its agents in
their irregularities, does all in its power to prevent such
acts, and takes every means to repress them. We shall
net bestow any praise upon the English Court-martial,
for this would be out of place, as it has done only its
duty by rendering justice ; but, under existing circum-
stances, there may be Perhaps_ some merit even in per-
forming a duty. The sentence has already been warmly
attacked in England. It is pretended there that the
officer was sacrificed to political feelings, and that the
severe reprimand inflicted upon him was a concession
made to the remonstrances of France. It is clear, how-
ever, that some one must be responsible, and this the
English Government is well aware of. So long as
treaties exist, all are bound to execute them with fide-
lity, and the precautions taken by the British Govern-
ment to guarantee the exercise of the right of search
from all cause of irritation and dispute, ought to be
accepted by us in the same spirit of conciliation and
harmony."
The papers bring no fresh intelligence from Tan-
giers. It would appear that the French squadron
under the Prince DE JOINYILLE was still in the Bay
of Cadiz on the 28th

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall,
for the purpose of hearing any matters that might press,
and also to give judgment in the case of Mr. Dyce
Sombre. The Court, before eleven o'clock, the time at
which it was stated his Lordship would take his seat,
was extremely crowded. Among those present, we no-
ticed the Earl St. Vincent, Mr. Quintin Dick, Mr. Bailie
Cochrane, and several other persons of distinction.

There Ware no arrivals to-day with late news of interest
from any quarter, except the usual continental mails.
The disposition of the Zollverein States to carry the
exclusive principle further may be presumed to have
been in no way checked by the rejection of the really liberal
offer made on their behalf, a short time since, to the Govern-
ment of the United States, the extent of which may be
understood by the following extract of a New York com-
munication recently come to hand .
"By this we see that the Customs Union sacrifice 45,540
dollars more of revenue on tobacco imported from the United
States, than we do on our total importations of their manu-
factures. Our exports to the Customs Union are nearly
twice the value of our imports, and the reduced duties on
merchandise received from this country must nett a loss of
revenue greatly exceeding ours. Several agents have
been sent to Europe, at a great expense, for the ex-
press purpose of opening markets for our great staple,
tobacco, and to prevail upon the different Govern-
ments to admit it at reduced rates of duties. Our
Minister to Austria, Mr. Wheaton, with the aid of these
agents, had actually succeeded, after a great deal of negotia-
tion, in perfecting a treaty of reciprocity, which our Go-
vernment refuses to ratify. The treaty was disposed of in our
Senate very summarily, and in a manner that reflects but
little credit upon those intrusted with the regulation of our
foreign trade. We had it in our power to open an immense trade
with the Zollverein, which represents 27 millions of people.
The Germans are tired of the monopoly so long enjoyed by
the manufacturers of Great Britain, and would gladly take
our manufactures of cotton twist, yarn, &c., to an immense
amount, provided we took a fair quantity of their manufac-
tures. The manufacturers of this country, through the acts of
their high tariff senators, have lost an immense market for
their goods, who by their adherence to the most short-sighted
policy have refused to accept a treaty that would do more
to extend and build up our domestic manufactures than all
the tariffs ever conzeived or adopted. Our legislators do
not see the future effect of any great measure ; their mental
vision does not extend beyond the limits of their individual
profession, and every future advantage is sacrificed to the
present object, viz., political popularity. Racidial taritfites
would not give up a tittle of their "hobby, even though the
object for which they are aiming could be obtained more
speedily by so doing. They believe that nothing in the
world but a high protective tariff will ever permanently
establish our manufactures."

Rather a large business continues to be transacted in the
public securities, and although there is a fuller supply of
stock than for some time past, the general public comes in
steadily to make small purchases. At present the quotations
are rather flat. Consols realise 99% to 99% fur Money and
Account. Exchequer Bills are 755. to 775. premium. The
New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realise 101% to 101% ;
the Reduced 1023 to 1021 ; and the Three per Cents. 94
to par. Bank Stock is 200 to 200%
The accounts from Spain are certainly not encouraging,
but the Bonds are not lower, except the Five per Cents.,
which have been done at 22 to %; the Three per Cents. are
33 to %; Mexican Bonds are a shade better, being at 354 to
358 ; Portuguese Converted are dull at 43%; Brazilian realise
84; and Colombian, 13%; Belgian Stock is supported at 103 ;
and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are firm at 61 to %.
Railway Shares are rather firmer, but the transactions have
not been extensive.
