ment was particularly manifested by a kind of crusade
against the University. If the clergy thought fit to
object to anything connected with that establishment,
why did they not express their opinion moderately
and charitably ? Firmness and genius ought to be ex-
pected from the mouth of a Bossuet ; charity should
be expressed in the language habitual to Fenelon ; and
plain good sense should always be seen whenever a priest de-
livered his opinion.—(Approbation.) It was the unexampled
violence of the priesthood that he condemned, and it was
on it that he called the judgment of the public. The
Archbishop of Lyons, occupying one of the first sees of France,
and calling himself Primate, had adopted in this contest
a measure known to them all; he had thought fit to adopt
the extraordinary means formerly employed as a threat
against men and even kings, but never • against chil-
dren.—(Hear hear.) What could be more improper
than the collective complaint of the Bishops ? The right
of petition might be exercised collectively, but never
by public functionaries, and there were cases where the
elevation of a man's position greatly aggravated the dan-
ger which was likely to accrue from his acts, and where any
improper conduct was doubly reprehensible. He would add,
that the publication of the Bishop's protest was not only con-
trary to the Concordat of year X., but even to the canons of
the Church. Another very serious proof of the spirit which
actuated the clergy might be seen in the conduct of the
Bishop of Chalons towards the Abbe Combalot. That eccle-
siastic had been condemned for a libellous publication, and
the Bishop, already himself under the weight of a censure
from the higher authorities, thought fit to write him a letter,
condoling with him on his condemnation, and praising
M. Combalot's conduct in giving a noble example of resist •
ance to the conduct of the • University—the declared enemy
of the principles of the Church ! All that was wanting
to make this farce complete, was to find M. Combalot
writing back to the Bishop to congratulate him on, the con-
demnation pronounced against him by the Council of State.
He (M. Dupin) appealed to the country-, and demanded if
such conduct was to be tolerated. He declared that the
Bishop.had committed a most grave offence, and he main-
tained that he ought to be punished for it most severely.—
(Hear.) He would ask the Chamber whether it approved of
such acts on the part of the Bishops—whether there was any
one in France who could believe that the servants of a con-
stitutional Government could be in a humour to allow them-
selves thus to be braved in the name of a religion which
prescribed obedience to the constituted authorities ?—(Ap-
probation.) The clergy must well know that they had no
longer a peculiar privilege, and that if priests committed
offences they might, like other citizens, be prosecuted before
the ordinary tribunals of the country. When, however,
no crime had been committed, where there were only repre-
hensible acts to take notice of, it was for the functionary
invested with the surveillance of the clergy to take cogni-
zance of it. Discipline was necessary in all hierarchies.
What would be said of a military body, if they
-were to concert together to praise a soldier who had just been
censured for some fault in an order of the day—(Move-
inent)—or of an advocate who should congratulate a brother
barrister for having incurred the censure of the council of
their order? The, law furnished arms for the repression of
faults, and, were they even without arms, were there not
legislators to furnish them ? He did not reproach the Govern-
ment for the conduct they had hitherto pursued, for they had
not acted with impatience but, for the time to come, let
them pay the utmost attention, for, with a body such as the
clergy, the government must never be in the wrong. Let
the clergy be made aware that they lived under a constitu-
tional Government—under one of those Governments who
would not tolerate the practice of confessors. The clergy
had been always protected, and more so since 1830 than under
the Restoration and the Empire. Let. them obtain and pre-
serve the respect and consideration to which they were enti-
tled, but he, at the same time, conjured the Government to
be inexorable towards their eccentricities.—(Acclamations.)"

MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE -FRIDAY.

- -
Since Monday several fresh arrivals of English Wheat
have taken . place up to our markets, and the stands exhi-
bited a full average number of samples. Even the finest qua-
lities met a very dull sale, and.prices had a downward ten-
dency. There were no buyers of Foreign Wheat, except on
lower terms. The supply of Barley was not large, yet the
sale for it was heavy, at barely stationary prices. Malt sold
at a decline of is per quarter. The demand for Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour was extremely inactive.

Our market was somewhat • extensively supplied with
beasts, nearly 300 of which came fresh to hand by steamers
from Scotland, owing to which, 'and the thin attendance of
buyers, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, • at
barely Monday's pr ices. Prime old Downs readily produced pre-
vious rates; but in those of other breeds of Sheep exceedingly
little'was doing, and their currencies had a downward ten-
dency. The Lamb trade was, on the whole, steady, without
alteration in prices, wish about an. average time-of-year
supply on offer. Calves moved off slowly at barely late
rates. Pigs were unaltered in value. Mich cows sold at from
