The spirit of free bold inquiry that has been so rife
of late years, and which is rather the ally
than the antagonist of true religion, is abhorent
to these zealots, who, if they possessed the power—
which we can confidently assure them they never
will possess—would check the progress of the human
mind in every direction, and put a stop to all legiti-
mate freedom of thought and action, from an appre-
hension, certainly not ill-founded, that it would prove
injurious to their arbitrary and unwarranted pre-
tensions. Plausible as are its professions, lofty as are
its claims, disinterested, to all appearance at least, as
, are its motives, and sagacious as are its advocates in
their capacity of Divinity sophists, Tractarianism is
neither more nor less than a crusade .against common
sense—a dictatorial attempt to check the advance of
the human mind by subjecting it, by slow and artful
degrees, to the uncontrolled, irresponsible dominion
of priestcraft. Surely our Bishops, as men deeply in-
terested in the temporal welfare of the Church, should
at once actively interfere in order to put a atop to
these childish—but, alas ! dangers also—freaks of
the Tractarians ! But instead of this, we find them
doing—what ? Actually throwing the weight of
their influence into the scales of Tractarianism I We
do not mean to say that all the Prelates are guilty of
such injudicious conduct, but certainly two of the
cleverest and most active of their number are ob-
noxious to the charge of so acting. We allude, of
course, to the Bishops of LONDON and EXIITBR--

60 days; the Floating Debt at 64/, and the Debt
without interest at 61 at 60 days.

Several of the Paris papers publish the letter from
Otaheite, which appeared in the English journals a
few days since, and express some indignation at the
imputations cast on the French officers. This is only
what might have been expected, for the writer evi-
dently had a strong bias against the present occupants,
and made insinuations against them, to say the least,
not very probable. The Constitutionnel, in adverting
to the subject, says, "The letter, which is as odious as
it is ridiculous, can meet with nothing but contempt
from every right feeling mind in France and in Eng-
land." The National refuses to sully its pages by the
insertion of the letter, and perhaps this is the best way
to treat these export() statements which are often
full of exaggeration, and occasionally not founded on
facts. Some of the journals express regret that
France should ever have taken such useless and dis-
tant settlements under her protection, and throw no
little blame on the Government for its want of fore-
sight. Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, it appears, has
no wish to return to France at present. " A letter
from that officer," says the Presse, " announces that
the news of his disavowal has reached him, and that
being left at liberty to return to France, either directly
or in about two years, after accomplishing a voyage,
he has determined on adopting the latter course."
The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho-
rising the Minister of the Interior to open an extra-
ordinary credit of 240,000 francs (9,6001.), to defray
the expense of the experiment of an electric telegraph
on a railroad of at least 24 leagues (60 miles) in
length. The experiment, it is said, will be made on
the Paris and Rouen line.
The following literary gossip appears in the
Paris Globe :
" M. Dujarrier, the proprietor of the Presse, has taken
M. Alexander Dumas upon lease at 60,000 f. a year. The
Constitutionnel announces to-day that it has acquired the
exclusive property of M. Eugene Sue—we know not at
what price, but we believe that he is to have a share in
the property of the paper. The proprietors of the Cour-
vier Francais have offered M. Victor Hugo half the pro-
perty of their journal for his novel entitled Quiquen-
grone.' But it is not only the novel that the daily press
absorbs, it is also the higher walks of literature and his-
tory. The aforesaid 111. Dujarrier has just bought for
80,000 f. in cash, and an annuity of 4,0001., M. de Cha-
teaubriand's 'Memoires d'Outre-Tombe.' Thus that book
which, like a will, was to have appeared but after the
death of the writer of ' Rene,' and 'Les Martyrs,' will be
published during the life of the testator between a feuil-
leton of fashions and theatricals. This is not all. It is,
at this moment, contemplated publishing M. Thiers
History of the Empire' in the shape of feuilletons in the
Constitutionnel. The bargain is proceeding ; if M.
Thiers do but consider the hopes of a portefeuille as dis.
tent, he will assent to the arrangement. From that mo-
ment the bargain may be considered as concluded. Thus
journalism will, ore long, absorb politics, the novel, high
literature, history, and science."
The subjoined letter from Bayonne, dated the
21st instant, appears in the Constitutionnel:—
News has just been received hero that great agita-
tion reigns in Upper Aragon and at Saragossa, and
that two small towns have reared the standard of revolt
and declared against the Government, after having dis-
armed two companies of the Bourbon regiment and a
company of carabineers. We have no positive accounts
of Zurbano. Official reports from the authorities and
Consuls intimate that he has crossed the Ebro and got
into Navarre, while from other sources we are assured
that the intrepid guerilla is in Old Castile, marching
upon Lower Aragon, by Morella, where he hopes to
raise some partizans. We are assured that the Basque
provinces are to be put in a state of siege, which will be
a violation of their fueros. The authorities on the fron-
tier have been recommended to observe the strictest
surveillance."
Very little business was done in the funds at TOR-
TONI'S on Sunday. The Three per Cents. were
quoted at 83f.
M. DE LAMARTINE, the eloquent Member for Ma-
con, has just published a long dissertation on the
principles which actuate his party as contrasted with
those of the Opposition under M. THIERB. The fol-
lowing spirited attack on the ex-President of the
Council contains much truth :
" Could we make common cause with him ? No, we
may be left for a moment in an isolated condition, but
we are reflecting men. We are not acting the mounte-
bank before the people. We respect the people too much
to attempt to amuse them. So far from that, we have the
courage to tell them some useful truths, even when we
know that they aro far from being palatable to them at the
moment. Thus, we spurned to sing the Marseillaise,'
during three months, to demand levies of men en masse,
and to make the pillars of the tribune vibrate, on a pal-
try question of religion, which had arisen between a
Methodist missionary and some Catholic missionaries,
supported, right or wrong, by a French officer, at a dis-
tance of some thousand leagues from France, on an im-
perceptible islet of the Pacific Ocean. We did not
attempt to seek so far and so low the stumbling-block,
a thousand times accursed, which might shako the peace
of the world and stain savage shores with European
blood. It is not on that miserable shoal that the
peace of Europe can run aground, if it be ever to be
broken. There are noble fields on the Rhine, and a
valuable prey to contend for on the banks of the Medi-
terranean. The Romans there conquered empires ; our
noisy politicians fall furiously upon a rock of which Eng-
land does not even deign to dispute the possession. You
would not go to war when war was at your gates, for a
grand cause in the East, and you wanted to make Ota-
heite a cause of war ! Why ? Because you well knew
that war could not grow out of that question I Thus,
likewise, when the King went to England, to return the
visit of a young Queen who had come last year to pre-
sent to him a pledge of good harmony, and remove by
her presence the painful recollection of the treaty of the
15th of July, my friends did not attack the Ministry
for allowing royal politeness to .'be returned by the
King of the most polite nation in the universe. We did
not blame the King for smoothing as much as in his
power the thorny path on which diplomacy too often
comes into .collision. We certainly conceived that the
clock of the Tuileries was some weeks in advance ; we
should have preferred that symptomatic journey to have
been postponed for a month or two. We condemned
the Ministry for omitting to completely terminate the
affair of Morocco, and for neglecting to obtain, at the
risk of displeasing England, full reparation, guarantees,
and the expenses of the war before it permitted the
King to embark ; but that blame, which merely at-
tached to Ministers, did not induce us to view with ill-
will the meeting of two Sovereigns, representing the _
high sympathies of two great nations, and establish-
ing a friendly feeling between them, notwithstanding
the rivalry of their Governments. We are more philo-
sophers than politicians, or rather our politics are but
the philosophy of humanity. We have not sifted words
of mutual peace, to seek in them susceptibilities, motives
of hatred or snares, as if too many did not already exist
among nations. We frankly applauded, if not all.the
expressions, at least the general tenour of the King's
speeches in England. In order to judge them impar-
tially, we placed ourselves in a situation where we were
neither influenced by the feelings of the moment nor
blinded by party spirit ; we:estimated them from what
might bo their probable results ; and we could not but
admire a pacific King boldly raising the standard of
union between the two nations, above international pre-
judices, aid employing the voice of France to proclaim
the dogma of concord. The mission he assumed ap-
peared to us not timid, but novel and daring ; for it is
more difficult to prevail on the French nation to listen
to reason than to glory. No, we considered it no shame ,
on the part of a Sovereign to use the throne as the most ele-
va.ted point between nations, whence to proclaim, supported
by 30,000,000 armed citizens, a desire to maintain
European harmony, to avow a desire to see peace con-
solidated, and to admit and approve the dogma of re-
spect for human blood, and the happiness of nations. A
Kig acting such a part. raises himself the ,sr
philosopher. W e otter no opposition to philosophy, even
when it becomes identified, either by chance or by good
luck, with the person of a king. In every other respect
we pursued nearly the same line as did the Opposition.
We differ from them, however, on one point, for we ex-
pect no better from the Ministry that may be chosen
from its ranks, than from the Ministry it attacks. The
cause of liberty seeking its avenger in the Minister of
the laws of September, and the cause of national dignity
personified in the Minister of 1840, and committed to
the safe keeping of the man who recalled our fleet from
the Levant, and signed the note of the Bth of October !
This, in my opinion, would be to carry the jest too far,
and to insult with too much effrontery the good sense
of the country. But if the county wishes it—if it amuse
the Opposition—we have nothing to say to it. In a
comedy there is an actor for every part. Our affairs
are conducted on a similar principle. We are wrong to
regard with seriousness, liberty, revolution, and the gran-
deur of our revolution. It is an error, but an error which
history wilLahare with us."

par nobile fratrum I—one of whom, by his ri-
diculous behaviour on the subject of the :offer-
tory, and the other by his still more ridicu-
lous judgment in the case of the Rev. WALTHR
BLUM; of Helston, have inflicted a world of mischief
on the best interests of the Church Establishment.
We anticipate a vast increase in the ranks of Dissent
from the ill-judged and ill-timed officiousness of these
twin episcopal luminaries, who seem to be on the
most distant terms of acquaintance with common
sense, and to be endowed with the very extraordinary
and peculiar power of moving in no direction but a
wrong one ! SHAKSPEARR'S complaint admirably
applies to them :

" Man, vain man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Plays such fantastic tricks beforo high Heaven
As make the angels weep !"

While the Conservatives of the great county of
Durham are split into distinct sections, and squabbling
among each other with such evident heartiness, that
it would scarcely appear possible that there could
ever be an entire re-union of the party, the Conserva-
tives of Bristol are not less troubled with internal
divisions, which, as might be anticipated, have had
the effect of very considerably reducing their num-
bers, and impairing their efficiency. At a late meet-
ing of the members of the fraternity which took place
in that city, the Chairman made more than one allu-
sion to these divisions, observing that he was per-
fectly aware of their existence which, indeed, it was
impossible to deny, and that they were chiefly to be
dated from the period of the last election. But a
gentleman, named SHAW, spoke out still more frankly
on the subject, and urged the following remarkable
argument as a reason why the Bristol Conservatives
should put an end to their feuds, and once again hang
closely together, like so many onions on a rope :
" He felt the time had come," said this plain-spoken
gentleman, " when either they must be entirely anni-
hilated as a party, or once more be re-united ; it
would be a waste of time to enter into the cause
of the divisions which had so much injured
the party, dissevering its members and pros-
trating its strength. Through their heartlessness and
want of energy, what had they not lost in the shape of
patronage! By their not being able to return two
Members at the last election they had lost a considerable
portion of that patronage which it was usual for the
Minister to give his friends I" In the above passage
the few expressive words which we have marked in
italics give us a clear insight into the real character
of Bristol Conservatism, which we take for granted
differs in no respect from Conservatism in any other
place. It seems, then, according to Mr. Suaw's candid
definition, that a Conservative association is a gathering
together of certain quick-witted individuals for the pur-
pose of promoting their own personal interests, and try-
ing what they can screw from the fears or prudence of
the Ministry by their political influence as a compact,
united confederacy. No nobler object do they pro-
pose to themselves by their union. There is nothing
like disinterested patriotism in the case. As for
principle, this is a matter only to be talked about, not
to be acted on. The sole principle of action they
recognise, is the very pleasant and convenient one of
helping themselves to as many of the good things of
place and power as the Minister—having previously
had value received from them in the shape of elec-
tioneering support, &c.—throws in their way. Aide
toi, a ciel t aidera—in other words, look to Number
On —is their motto. Church and State—Year. and
our glorious Constitution—these are specious ques-
tions enough to act as a blind—to be thrown out as a
tub to amuse that great whale, the public ; but Num-
ber One is the question of questions—the only one
worthy of serious consideration. Unite, then, Con

servatives of Bristol, unite by all means, for thus only
will you he enabled to wring from the Minister a fair
share of patronage If you quarrel among yourselves,
you will lose your power; and if you lose your power
you will, as a necessary consequence, lose your chance
of getting a snug slice or two of the loaves and fishes !
See what you have already lost by your foolish dis-
sensions! had you acted harmoniously together at
the last election you might have returned two
Members for Bristol, but instead of this you only
returned one, consequently you lost "a considerable
portion of that patronage which it is usual for the
Minister to give his friends !" Such is the candid
and communicative Mr. SUAw's advice to his brother
Conservatives, and we thank him for his honest,

downright plain-speaking, for it confirms us in an

r'fipression which we have long entertained—namely,
:hat the principle of Conservatism, like that of Mo-

nopoly, is essentially one of selfishness. These Tories

in a masquerade dress profess a great deal, but when
you call on them to put in practice what they preach,
you find them utterly wanting in good faith and con-
sistency. They talk about making a stubborn stand
for " things as they are," at the very moment when
they are maintaining the doctrine of expediency,
which, they well know, will compel the Premier to
give us " things as they ought to be," the instant the

pressure from without becomes sufficiently powerful
In a word, while in their speeches they make a vas

parade of their independence, in their acts they show

,hemselves the mere obsequious tools of Sir R. PBBL,

Lan F

Just now the majority of them are strenuously
opposed to the Corn-law, but let the Premier once

issue the word of command, and they will instantly
falsify all their hustings pledges on the subject, and
swallow Free-trade with as inuell Appultuil, reaalness,

and even relish, as an Alderman swallows turtle soup.

In the Spanish Chamber of Deputies a lengthened
discussion took place on the clause of the Reform
Bill which annuls the hereditary right of the Peers
to seats in the Upper Chamber. The Marquis of
MONTH VIRGEN moved, as an amendment, that the
functions of senators should be hereditary, in certain
aristocratic families. Senor CALLAN() opposed the
amendment, on the ground that aristocracy no longer
existed in Spain, and that it could not be revived
by a law in defiance of public opinion. The
Minister of the Interior also spoke against
the motion, and said the Government in pre-
paring the measure, had not lost sight of the
conspicuous part which the nobility had acted in tho

history of Spain, while they, at the same time,
looked to the present state of society, which did not
permit a larger share of power to be given to the
aristocracy than that contaiaed in the Bill. The
amendment was rejected by a majority of 88

against CO.
According to some accounts, &WANG had en-
tered the town of Saria, where he wits well received
by the inhabitants, and where he, of course, took
an opportunity of showing his cruel disposition. The
political chief had, according to orders issued, pub-
lished a decree by which ZURBANO, on being taken
prisoner and identified, was to be immediately shot.

TEE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 26, 1844.

CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COUR D.
(Before the RECORDER, Alderman CHALLIS, BC(9
Charles Wilson and John White, the first thirty
years of age, and the latter twenty, both labourers, were
indicted for stealing sheep at Lewisham. They severally
pleaded Guilty.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, said that the
circumstances attending the transaction for which they
stood before the Court sufficiently proved that it was not
a solitary instance of felony. This opinion was further
strengthened by the fact,that in their residence in London
a quantity of wool was found, and they could give no
good account of themselves to justify the Court in sup-
posing that hunger had prompted them to the act in
question. The sentence of the Court was that they be
transported for ten year*.
Caroline Berry and Elizabeth Phasey were charged
with stealing a brooch, a pair of ear-rings, a ring, and
dress, valued at 200 L, the property of John Goldie, the
master of the latter prisoner.
Mrs. Elizabeth Georgiana Goldie, 39, Baker-street,
Portman-square, said the latter prisoner was servant
with her. Witness left town about the latter end of
June, and returned in October, Phasey, during her ab-
sence, being left in charge of the house. She had ob-
tained permission to bring the charwoman (Berry)
occasionally into the house. The jewellery was kept in a
wardrobe in the front room, which on her return she found
open, and Phasey on being questioned, said, that:the door
had been unlocked, and when the articles were ascer-
tained to be stolen, she said(that possibly. Berry, or a man
named Payne, whom she had known in Leamington, and
who had slept once or twice in the house, might have
taken them. She observed no marks of violence upon the
cupboards.
William Henry Clarke, was in the employ of Mr.
Dobree, pawnbroker, Gilbert-street. The prisoner
Berry came to the shop alone on tho 16th September,
and pledged the brooch in question. She said she had
brought it from Madame Davis, and asked 3s. upon it.
The foreman was also present, and he also saw the
brooch. She came again on the 18th, and wanted Bs. in
addition upon the brooch.
By the RECORDER—The brooch had not before been
examined to ascertain its proper value. She came again
on the 19th, and said that Madame Davis wanted 255. on
the ear-rings and brooch,fsaying that: they had before
been pledged for 30s. The prisoner said that they were
paste, and her account was taken. They had not in-
quired whether they were the property of Madame
Davis, who lived in Gilbert-street, for they had had
pledges from the same house in a French name.
Elizabeth Sarah Goldie—Before the family went out
of town she examined the wardrobe, and observed the
jewel-boxes, locked the wardrobe, put the keyl into
another wardrobe, and locked that also. Carried the
key into the country, and gave it to her mother. There
were two bolts on one of the folding-doors of the ward-
robe one at the top and one at the bottom—which had
been fastened before she left town, but were found opened
when she returned. She did not observe the marks of
any instrument, as if the bolts had been forced. It was
a patent lock.
By the RECORDER—The lady's maid was present
when the wardrobes were locked.
George Wm. Bilson, shopman with Mr. Barker, of 21,
Great Portland-street, produced a silk dress pawned by
the prisoner Berry, in the name of Madame Maltazzi, of
Nassau-street. It was pledged for 30s.
James Golder, with Mr. Beam, of Munster-street,
produced the ring, which he could not swear was pledged
by either of the prisoners.
Mrs. Goldie identiled all the property.
Sergeant Thompson, 4 I), took Berry into custody.
She said she did not steal the jewellery, and would not
say who did, as " she would not wish to transport
any body ; she would sooner drown herself in the
Serpentine." After taking her to the station-house, he
went with constable Ross to her room, and found a
variety of duplicates relating to the property.
Ross, 157 I), went to Baker-street, and took Phasey
into custody. On the way to the station-house she ad-
mitted having taken one of the young ladies' boas, and
having worn it a little.
Edward Payne has been living " in place," but had
" been out" for thirteen months. Knew Mr. Goldie's
laundry-maid (the prisoner Phasey), and called to see
her. He slept in the house three or four times.
He did not always sleep in the same room ;
upon one occasion another man slept in the house.
Captain Goldie was also there, and witness made him-
self generally useful to him while in the house. One
evening Phasey desired him to go into one of the rooms,
and bring her a boa. He went into both front and back
rooms and found one of the wardrobes open. He went
out with Phasey twice, on one occasion leaving Berry
behind, and on the other leaving the house empty. The
time might be about the 9th of September.
This witness was cross-examined by Mr. BALLAN-
TINE, but nothing particular elicited.
The jury were then addressed at considerable length
by Mr. Ballantine, on behalf of the prisoner Phasey ;
and the Recorder having, in summing up, pointed out
that though there was scandalous inattention exhibited
on her part towards her employers, yet that the whole
evidence did not show her once as having come in con-
tact with the stolen property, and that Berry had
been the instrument employed to pledge that
property in fictitious names at the different pawn-
brokers, and that she had ample opportunity, if so in-
clined, to be a principal in the robbery.
The jury consulted, and after some little time returned
a verdict of " Guilty of larceny" against the former, and
" Not guilty" against the latter.
The COURT then passed a sentence of transportation
for seven years.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Anne Holmes was charged with wilfully breaking seven
panes of glass in the Clerkenwell workhouse.
Mr CoNuE sentenced her, in default of the payment
of the fine, to a month's imprisonment and hard labour.
A travelling tinman, named Walker was charged with
threatening to stab police-constable 427 N.
The prisoner was creating a disturbance in the Lower-
road, Islington, between eleven and twelve on the pre-
vious night, when the constable interfered. The prisoner
swore that if he did not go off at once he would draw his
knife and stab him, and put his hand in his pocket for
his knife.

In default of fine, the prisoner was committed for
five days.

FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The President of the
Chamber of Representatives announced that the
general debate on the project of law relative to corn
having been closed, the debate on the articles was to
begin. After a long debate, and the proposal of
several amendments, some of which were agreed to,
the Chamber adopted the several parts of the project
of law, and fixed its duration for two years. This
last was carried by a majority of only one vote.
The Minister of Finance then presented a project of
law for alienating some national domains, and for the
acquisition of some parcels of land to be added to the ,
domain of Tervenren.

The celebrated Berzelius has just been seized with
so violent a congestion of blood that great apprehen-

The Duke of Devonshire has contributed 1001. tit
the fund for Father Mathew, and has written the fol.
lowing letter, which is equally honourable to his Grace
and the Apostle of Temperance:—" Hardwick, Nov. 8,
1844.—My dear Sir—l did not receive your letter of the
Ist inst. until yesterday. I have great pleasure indeed to
acquaint you that I had already written to my auditor,
Mr. B. Currey, concerning my subscription towards the
collection for the deservedly esteemed, and universally '
respected, the good and benevolent Father Mathew. My
attention was called to it by the newspapers.—Believe
me, my dear, Sir, to be most sincerely yours,—DxvoN-
glum" Addressed $9 Eev. Ar• Foguty,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market had a flat appearance yesterday.

For obvious reasons the facts connected with the rob-
bery of the banking-house of Messrs. Rogers and Co.
were kept with the greatest possible secrecy until a late
hour yesterday, and then only through the medium of
the Mansion-house, and an official statement through
the solicitors employed to conduct the inquiry. It was,
indeed, not long before the close of business at the Stock
Exchange that the fullest extent of this enormous
robbery was known. We understand that assistance was
immediately tendered to the firm. The business goes on
as usual. As all that has yet transpired is most
sacredly kept from the public, it would be worse
than useless—nay, dangerous in the extreme, to
give any of the rumours that are current relative
to this extraordinary circumstance. As The Sun
was the only paper that had full particulars of the
notes, &c., stolen, it was in great request yesterday
afternoon. There is a numerous attendance of persons
at the Mansion-house to-day, in the expectation that
something may have transpired to give the " where-
abouts" of the thief or thieves ; but up to mid-day
nothing whatever had been stated.
There are not any arrivals in the City to-day from
the British Colonies or elsewhere, of importance. In
fact, the delinquency above referred to, is the almost
sole engrossing topic of conversation in monetary and
other circles this morning, The general opinion is,
that the parties to the robbery made their way imme-
diately after the robbery to the continent. The most
active means have been taken to apprehend the robbers.
Stocks continue very firm, but there is very little
doing. Consols are 1004 4 for Money and Time.
Exchequer Bills realise 60s. to 625. premium, and India
Bonds under 1,000/. 82s. to 84s. premium. Bank Stock
is 206 to 2064, being a further advance. India Stock has
been steady at 286/. The New Three-and-a- Quarter
per Cents. are 102 to 1024, and the Three: per Cents.
at 994 to 994.
The Foreign Investments share the dullness of our
own Market. Spanish Five per Cents, have been 234
to 244, and the Three per Cents. 35 to 354 ; Portuguese
Converted are 544 ; Mexican Bonds are a little firmer,
being 354 to 354 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half Cents. have
been quoted 63 to 634, and the Four per Cents. 964
to 97.
The Railway Shares have been steady generally, but
there is only a limited business doing. Some of the new
lines maintain their value, while others have dropped
lately.
