churching—which hitherto has been in some degreet
of a private character, usually taking place either
before or after the evening service—to the full, broad
gaze of a crowded congregation. If once the fem
portion of his flock declare unanimously against him,
we would not give much for the Bishop's chance of
success in his innovations! He will be beaten to a
dead certainty, and have ample cause to rue the hour
when he brought a hornet's nest about his ears. As
regards the question of the surplice, which
seems to have given such offence to the
good people of Exeter, we can scarcely wonder at
their dislike of the innovation, for trifling
as it is in itself, it becomes of consequence when
taken in connexion with the revival of other usages
notoriously borrowed from the Church of Rome. It
is ev:dent, indeed, from their present conduct, that
the Tractarian clergy, and those in authority who
approve of their tenets, are endeavouring by degrees to
haL;tuate their flocks to Romish practices, and to wean
tit( et from their long-cherished distrust of Popery.
Already they have succeeded, to some extent, in their
jesuitical attempts; and it is high time, therefore, that
a bold, resolute stand should be made against
them. We will even go further, and add, that
no clergyman who advocates the Tractarian heresy,
should be allowed any longer to minister at a Pro-
tes'ant altar, or receive the emoluments of the Pro-
testant Establishment. He should be looked on as
a taw elf in sheep's clothing, and be driven from the
fo!d without delay. It must come to this at last,
and the sooner, therefore, the Tractarian zealots are
thus summarily and vigorously dealt with, the better
it will be for the interests of that great national
Establishment, which is now placed in imminent peril
by their underhand practices.

The Times of yesterday published a leading
art:cle, the text of which was supplied by the me-
morial of Mr. FRANCIS HEALY, one of the many
victims (for many, we fear, there have been) of the
bad organisation, the bad management, and, worst
of all, the bad faith of the New Zealand Company.
We have recently animadverted on the defects of that
body's original constitution, and the wavering and
inconsistent relations at different periods subsisting
between it and the British Colonial Department; on
the exorbitancy and favouritism of the powers and
grants virtually conceded to this incorporated body ;
on the fearful responsibility accruing to the officer
exercising the authority of Government in the
colony, by reason of the virtually withholding of all
protection to those under his jurisdiction, and his
deportment subsequent to the massacre at Wairau.
Another Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser,
having devoted its columns to the exposure of the
wrongs and the spoliation sustained by numerous
complainants who had themselves, or were the re-
pre.entatives of those who had, invested money in
the New Zealand Company's scheme, on the faith of
promises and contracts which it has never since ful-
filled or redeemed, we shall not at present enter into
the particulars of the disgraceful charges so seriously
implicating the Direction of the Company at home,
and its agents abroad. But we observe in the Times
the following passage, which, as applicable to Emi..
gration Companies in general, seems to call for some

remark :—" To imagine that an Emigration Com-
pany is to be trusted on the point, of all others in
the world, of a bargain and sale of land! Why, for
what other object is an Emigration Company formed,
at all—if not for this of getting rid of supposed
landed estates to would-be emigrants ?"
Perhaps the Times does not care for any distinc
tion which may be taken between "Land Companies,"
properly so called, and "Emigration Companies,"
under which designation it attacks the New Zealand
Company. But we must observe, that if Land Com-

prudes are to be classed in the same category with
these Emigration Companies of which the New
Zealand concern is to be taken as a type, great in-
justice will be committed by the assumption of an
evality of mismanagement, to say nothing of the
much graver question of moral delinquency. The
"Canada," or the "North American" Land Com-
pany, for example, has not, we apprehend, rendered
itself obnoxious to such a comparison. It has not,
that we are aware of, been challenged by any Mr.
lIE&Lx with taking the money of a " would-be emi-
grant," as the Times calls him, for lands which he
cannot procure after going out to locate himself upon
tl-wm ; which either were never in the possession of

the parties who have ostensibly sold them to him, or

which, if so possessed by them, these parties have
either never been in a condition to transfer, or have
wilfully abstained from executing a legitimate title
to, for the benefit of the purchaser. We know of
ca.-es in which blocks of land, some of very con-
siderable, some of smaller dimensions, have been
Purchased, transferred, and occupied in Eastern and
in Western Canada, with as much good faith and
prompt dealing as any transactions of the sort could
have been conducted with in England. In short, it

is neither reasonable nor consistent with facts to infer,
from the assumed misconduct of the New Zealand
speculation, that no Emigration Company is to be
" trusted in a bargain and sale of land ;" or to say
that it exists for no conceivable object, if not for
that " of getting rid of supposed landed estates." For
our own parts, we entertain a strong and conscientious
impression that, for a country like ours, with all the
exiting exigencies of its social and moral condition,
to neglect the duty of maturing a sound, extensive,
ami permanent system of emigration, under well-
dig,sted guarantees of encouragement and protec-
tion on the part of the Imperial Government and its
col ,vial officers, is to repudiate the magnificent career
which PROVIDENCE has opened to us and to our pos-

terry in another hemisphere, and under other skies.
The primary condition on which we hold our almost
unbounded colonial dominion we conceive to be to re-

lieve, at present, the pressure of our native redundant
population and surplus industry and unoccupied en-
terprise to those transmarine possessions, of every
variety of climate, soil, and produce, which open
exhaustless fields for their settlement and improve-
ment ; and by the process of gradual and beneficent
development, finally to establish in these wild and
half-reclaimed regions, and among their now semi-
barbarous people, the arts, the sciences, the religion,
the institutions, the commerce, the genius, and re-
finement of the old country, from whence it will be
their pride hereafter to date the era of their improve-
ment and their greatness. With these views and
opinions we cordially concur in the concluding sen-
timent of the article from which we have already
queted. " The more" (writes our Contemporary)
" public attention becomes fixed on our modern
methods of colonisation, the more remarkable will be
found our inferiority, on this point, to the heathen
nations of old." Undoubtedly. May we add an ex-
pre,sion of regret that the writer does not lend his
powerful aid and influence towards the organisation
of some great emigration movement, which may
rivd, in the extent of its application, the benevo-
lence of its objects, the wisdom of its details, the sa-
gacity of its management, and the liberality of its
surerintendence and administration, those generous
efforts by which Phoenicia and Carthage, Egypt,
Grcece, and Rome, hived their own redundant swarms
of native population in the most eligible localities for
their future establishment and prosperity, and thus
ditlesed their inventions, their learning, their his-

tors-, their sciences, their civilisation, over the fairest,
but, in their time, least peopled countries of the
globe ?

Madrid papers of the 3d instant have been received.
The accounts from Logrono, and the north of Spain
generally, are some of them of a painful character.
According to the Castellano, the disclosures made by
ZURBANO'S SOBS led to the apprehension of M. GAM.-
130.1, General ITURBE, the Advocate OTNELEY, and
a number of other persons, who have been conducted
to Logrono. If this information be correct, we fear
there has been some foul play in the business ; for it
is not likely these young men would have made any
disclosures whatever, unless on the understanding
that their lives would be saved. The Eco del
Comercio publishes a letter from Logrono, stating
that &BEANO'S country house had been levelled to
the ground, the furniture burnt, and the cattle killed.
Two hundred persons were seized at Saragossa on the
26th ultimo, eighty of whom have been thrown into
prison. A Council of 'War had been constituted
for the trial of the insurgents in other dis-
tricts. On the 11th, NAnvAEz, in full uniform,
appeared in the Chamber of Deputies, and presented
11111 for " granting pensions to the families of the
officers put to death, after being made prisoners, by

he rebels in their recent attempts on the frontier of
the province of Huesca."
The following paragraph appears in the letter of a
Bilbao Correspondent :—" A Spanish vessel, which
has just entered this town from Havannah, after a
passage of thirty-two days, left that town almost de-
stroyed by an earthquake. The finest buildings have
been subverted ; there have been a large number of
victims, and a part of the population is fled to the
country."

Mr. BULWER, it is said, had obtained a settlement
of the arrears due to the British Legion.
MADRID BOURSE, DEC. 3.—The Three per Cents.
are per cent. higher to-day, closing at 30 9-16
cash, and 31 at 60 days ; 53,000,000 done. Five
per Cents. 211 for 7th January, and 211 at 55 days.

The contract for the new French loan of
200,000,000 f. (8,000,0001) was completed at Paris
on Monday. The adjudication took place at the
office of the Finance Minister at noen. The only
bidders were—Messrs. DE ROTHSCHILD and DE ST.
DIDIER and BAUDON, as representatives of the Re-
ceivers-General, Messrs. HOTTINGUER and Co., Messrs.
DURAND, and Messrs. BARING. The price offered by
the former company was 84f. 75c., and by the latter
83f. 95c., consequently the loan was adjudged to
Messrs. DE ROTHSCHILD and DE ST. DIDIER and
BAUDON. The minimum of the Minister of Finance
was not precisely known, but it was understood to be
83, so that the offer of Messrs. ROTHSCHILD and Co.
exceeded it by lf. 7.5 c. This high offer had excited
considerable surprise at the Bourse, yet parties were
eager to purchase at an increased rate. At the open-
ing of the Bourse the new loan was done at 86f. 50c.
it quickly rose to 87f. 50c., and closed at 86f. 90c.
for cash, and 87f. 15c. for the account. The French
Government, according to a letter from Otaheite of
the 2d cf June, has taken under its protection several
other islands in the Pacific. The letter states that
the chiefs of Wallis's Islands and of the Island of
Fontana, are henceforward under the protectorate of
France, this step, which was applied for several months
back, being consented to by the French Government.
The Governor of Otaheite, in consequence, dispatched
a vessel to these islands to notify that they were to be
occupied. The protectorate of the Gambier Islands
has also been notified.

The following is the only news of the slightest
interest in the papers :
The Conatitutionizel publishes the folloWing from its
correspondent at Berne, dated the sth :

" The imprudent decision by which the grand council
of Lucerne has sanctioned the encouragement of the
Jesuits, in spite of the popular repugnance, begins to
bear fruit. The Government of Lucerne, disliked by
the great majority of the population, particularly in the
chief town, is obliged, in order to get itself obeyed, to
have recourse to violent means, which, if they are not
crooned with a prompt success, will only render its
position more critical, if they do not cause its complete
overthrow. Already the first act of the Jesuitical drama
has just been played. According to information received
this morning, an insurrection has burst out at W illisau,
a little town six leagues from the capital. The Govern-
ment had ordered the prefect to arrest some men of the
place known for their opposition to the Jesuits. One
hundred men of the line were called out to give assist-
ance to the authorities, but when the commanding officer
wished to proceed to execute the warrant, the people
raised a riot, and opposed so strong a resistance, that
the officer ordered the troops to fire on the mob. But
the soldiers, far from complying, took part with the
people. At this moment the insurrection threatens to ex-
tend to other localities, even to the capital itself, where the
greater number of the superior officers are hostile to the
Government, on account of its predilection for the Jesuits.
Such are the scenes brought on by the proceedings of
the reverend fathers to force themselves on a population
by whom they are detested."
According to the Constantinople letter of the 20th
ult., in a Vienna journitl, RIFAAT PACIIA, who was
lately Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been made a
member of the Great Council. SAAR-EFFENDI, ex-
Minister of Foreign Affairs, is to go to London as
Ambassador in place of AALI-EFFENDI ; and NAFI-
EFFENDI, formerly Ambassador to France, to replace
MoniurrAa BEY, Ambassador at Vienna.

A Constantinople letter of the 20th, in the Augs-
burrgh Gazette, informs us that a serious misunder-
standing had taken place between ABDULLAII PACHA,
the Governor of Trebisonde, and the English Consul
at that place. The Governor, in consequence of some
pique against the Consul, had ordered 2,000 blows
to be inflicted, for same real or supposed offence,
upon a young Greek who was under the Consul's
protection, and the victim had already received 800,
and was almost dead, when the Consul reached the
spot, and insisted on the remission of the remainder
of the sentence. The letter adds, that Sir STRAT-
FORD CANNING has ordered an inquiry into the cir-
cumstances, and declared that if the Gansul's account
should be substantiated, he will demazid not only the
dismissal of the Governor, but some signal chastise-
ment.

ALARMING FIRE AT BRlXTOlvi.—This morning,
shortly before one o'clock, a fire br-ake out in the house
belonging to Mrs. Powney, tow, i carrier, situate at
No. 7, Chrystal•rnad, North Brii ;ton. The Waterioo
brigade engine promptly attends d, and was followed
by the West of England, and another from
Southwark-bridge-road. There 'lll 'ing a good supply
of water instantly procured, the firemen set to work
most rigorously, and before tw o o'clock they suc-
ceeded in extinguishing the fire, not, however, until
very considerable damage had been effected. Owing to
the density of the smoke, the inmaJ tes in the upper part
of the building had the greatest difficulty in escaping,
and fur some time it was believed th at Mrs. Powney had
been burnt to death, as she could not be found. Upon
examining the premises after the Ere was extinguished,
no trace of any person having bec It burnt could be dis-
covered ; the probability, therefore, is that she was from
home at the time of the disaster. As to the origin of
the fire, or whether or not the suffuj er was insured, we
could not learn during the excitemet it that prevailed.
DE BEAUVOIR NATIONAL SCIK, OOLEL—Last even-
ing a general meeting of the subcrib ers to the he Beau-
voir National schools was held iii the girls' school-
room (St. Peter's, Kingsland), Ito take into con-
sideration the propriety of the immediate dismissal
of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, the master and mis-

ress of the schools. The charg es brought against
the.Fc teachers were, that they ha Kl made certain dis-
closures injurious to the moral chE trader of the minis-
ter of the district, the Rev. F. T. r loricton. After the
debate had extended some length, a show of hands was
taken upon the resolution, when the :numbers were—For
the dismissal, 8 ; against dismissal, 14. The proposition
was consequently negatived.
EARLY CLOSING OF Ssiors.—Li tst night a very
numerous and, highly respectable mee ting, in connexion
with the Drapers' Metropolitan Association, was held at
the Mechanics' Institute, Southampta 11°1-
born, in order to effect a more genera 1. early closing of

Mr. J. Payne said that in his profession he had long suf-

ing.; sittings at the Central Criminal C. nut, which he was
happy to say were now to be aboli: lied. They were
productive of great evil, and were EAU A) unsatisfactory to

LINLITHOOW.—It will be gratif:,i-ing to learn that
the ancient and royal palace of Lin ti thgow has lately
undergone extensive repairs, under th e sanction and lit

ing forms one of the noblest piles of : ancient architec-

FLANDERS MAIL.

BRUSSELS, DEC. B.—The Journal de Bruxelles an-
nounees that Mr. Vergdt, member of the deputation of
Antwerp, has been appointed director of the colony of
St. Thomas, in the room of Mr. Guillamanot, who is said
to be now on his return to Belgium.
We shall beiglad if this statement should be unfounded.
The nomination and acceptance of Mr. Verdt would be
a pledge of confidence in the future prosperity of the
colony.
The Government has received from Mr. Bosch, Consul-
General of Belgium, in Chili and Peru, a decree of the
Peruvian Government, dated the 14th of June, 1843, by
which the term of five years granted to the Society for the
exportation of guano, is prolonged for three years.
In consequence of the severe cold we have had, for
some days past, the Meuse is full of floating ice, and the
navigation is interrupted in the whole course of the
river.

Our readers probably remember that while his Ma-
jesty the King of the French was in England an indivi-
dual, named 1:e Buchoz Hilton, who pretended that he
was a creditor of the King, applied to a court of justice
to be authorised to take legal measures, and even to
arrest his Majesty. We are now able to throw some
light on the character of this man, by the following de-
tails:—Buchozjiilton was born at Metz, and is now
fifty-three years of age. In June, 1831 he was im-
prisoned at Brussels on a charge of vagrancy. In 1819
he had been condemned by the Court of Assize of South
Brabant to seven years' imprisonment, to stand in the
pillory, and to be branded as implicated i❑
a plot against the life of the Emperor
Alexander when he passed through Brussels.
Being sent to Vilvorde to undergo his penalty, he sent
several petitions to King William, praying to be relieved
from his imprisonment. On the 6th of August, 1824, a
royal decree granted his petition, on condition that he
should immediately quit Belgium; and never return ; if
he did he was to suffer the remainder of his punishment.
In consequence of this decree Buchoz escaped from
Metz, and came to Belgium, where he was arrested as a
vagabond. When in the prison of the Petits Cannes,
he applied to be received into the military service of
Belgium.
