One of the most offe naive, and not least ominous
features of the Puseyii character, is the contempt
with which the clergy, ai id especially the Prelates,
t reat the well-grounded an d sincere remonstrances of
, the laity. These are received not as the offspring of
conviction or real apprehe' anions for the safety of the
Protestant religion, but r as the meddling of incom-
petent men without authority, without evidence to
substantiate their statems tints, and without any just
conception of the points. :4t issue. The POPE himself
could not resent in moire -bitter language any inter-
ference with his infallible wisdom, than the heads of
the Protestant Church (a Church founded on
the right of inquiry en id freedom from priestly
shackles) resent the rf .spectful entreaties and
complaints of their alar need flocks. The spii:t
which pervades the paste aryl letters and answers
to grievances issued by the Bishops of LON-
DON and EXETER excites no surprise. It- is
quite in keeping with the character of these haughty
and self-willed Prelates; but something better was
expected of the mild and venerable Archbishop of
CANTERBURY. It was he that he would at least
mediate between the par ties;, and show a degree of
impartiality and kindness tvtich might inspire confi-
dence, and that he would endeavour by gentle per-
suasion, rather than by a stretch of authority, to con-
vince the people that th ere were no insidious de-
signs for undermining the Protestant Church. Un-
fortunately, however, his 'Grace has disappointed
public expectation, and as if even the mildest and
meekest Churchman was inc apable of divesting him-
self of ecclesiastical haughtiness and dictation, he has
replied to well-founded complaints with as much
acrheony, self-confidence, and confidence, too, in his
clergy, as the two Puseyite Bishops. These are
most conspicuous in his last letter to Mr. KENNARD,
respecting the Puseyite ceremonies practised in the
parish of East Farleigh, in Kent. The Arai-
bishop had directed the attention of the clergy-
man to the complaints ; he had also com-
missioned the rural Dean and Archdeacon to
make inquiry, and on their report he affirms
that they are without foundation. Had his Grace,
however, lseen an impartial investigator, he would
have heard witnesses also. on the other side, for
the purpose of ascertaining -whether the report of the
clerical functionaries could be impugned. Nothing
of the sort, however, is dune. It would have been
degrading to a Dean and an Archdeacmi for a moment
to believe that they coui d assert what was not
a fact, and he dismisses the complaint in these
words :—" You have p referred charges which
you could not to a cert ainty know to be true,
and here our correspondence must end."
This is sufficiently laconic and dictatorial. Now
it is curious to observe on what ground the charges
are dismissed, and why the complainant is accused
of stating what he could not to a certainty know to
be true. The Archbishop says Mr. KENNARD had
not attended the church since: March ; he, therefore,
could have no personal knoweeedge of what had taken
place. But neither had the Archbishop attended the
church, and he was theref are placed in the same
predicament ; but he made this distinction : he lis-
tened to witnesses of his own party, though he gave
no opportunity to the other side to produce wit-
nesses who would have confirmed every word of the
statement. The clergy are to be believed, but the
laity not. Now if these gentlemen are disciples of
NEWMAN, which is extremely probable, the following
doctrine, laid down by that innovator, and urged by
Mr. KENNARD, would lead to the belief that the evie
dence of a layman ought to have more weight than
that of a modern Jesuit :--" It is one of their prin-
ciples," says he, " that a Christian both thinks and
speaks the truth, except when consideration is
necessary ; and then, as a physician for the
good of his patient, he will be false, or
utter a falsehood, as the sophists say." With-
out, however, imputing to Mr. WILBERFORCE, or
the rural Dean, such a detestable doctrine, we
mist reject their evidence, on the grounds that the
expressed abhorrence to Priseyism in the parish would
net have arisen without just cause—that Mr. KEN-
NARD, a staunch Protestant, has been forced, on ac-
count of the Popish innovations, to leave the church—
and that there are other manifestations of the new
doctrines, which even clerical ingenuity cannot gain-
say. We give the postscript to Mr. KENNARD'S letter,
as a specimen :—" On the night preceding Christmas-
day Mr. WILBERFORCE, attended by Mr. HARDS,
churchwarden, and several men and boys of his
newly-formed choir, headed by Mr. HELMORE, of
her MAJESTY'S choir, St. George's, Windsor, paraded
parts of the parish singing carols, many of them
carrying lights, though the moon was high; they
were out, thus occupied, from about eleven o'clock
at night till nearly four o'clock in the morning of
Christmas-day !"

The situation of M. GuizoT as Prime Minister of
France becomes every day more critical, not from a
system of policy different from that which has kept
him in office for four years, not from any new crisis
caused by foreign affairs or domestic administration,
hut, judging by circumstances which' can hardly
leave any doubt, from the fixed determination of the
KING to make another attempt to carry the Dotation
Bill. On this point it is well known his MAJESTY
has made up his mind, and considers it one of the
!cost important duties imposed upon him to make
provision for the due maintenance of the Duke of
Numouas' authority, in the event of his MAJESTY
dying before his grandson comes of age. Feelers
have been repeatedly put forth on this subject during
the last two years, which gave results so unfavourable
rhgt M.:GrutzoT declined to bring the measure forward.
According to the U 'livers the affair is to be put off no
longer and a Dotation Bill is to be presented to the
Chamber shortly after the discussion on the Address, but
whether by GLTIZOT or MOLE no one can tell. The
desertions, hoverer, which are taking place among
the Ministerial supporters, and above all the deser-
tions of men in high favour and full confidence at
Court, betoken the downfal of M. GUIZOT, and lead
to the belief that this darling object of the KING will
be carried by his successors. MONTALIVET, a great
favourite of Majesty, General AT 11A, LIN, the KING'S
Aide-de-Camp, several Conservative Members of the
Lower Chamber who have the instinct of rats, and,
according to the National, the Chamber of Peers,
also the creature of royalty, all seem disposed to join
in the intrigue against the Ministry. MON TALIVET,
A TIIALIN, and MERILIIOU, have voted against it.
Unless GIiIZOT can assure the KING, therefore, tha
he can carry the Dotation Bill, his fate is sealed. The
Journal des Debals, however, notwithstanding the
desertion of M. GIRARDIN, still supports M. GUIZOT ;
iut as this journal was considered rather the organ of
the Cabinet than the Court, this is only what might

ve been expected. TI-e fol'ovving extract from this
paper, in reply to some grumblings of the ConsUM-
tionnel, on the ground that its patron, M. TRIERS, had
been unfairly dealt with, shows that GUIZOT has at
least one staunch supporter among the press :
" There is in France," it says, "an inviolable and
sacred personage. According to the constitution, this
person is the KING ; according to the Constitut;onnel,
it is M. TRIERS. We have already thought it our
duty to refer to a ridiculous article, in which that
journal compared the Ministers to certain extra-
ordinary fish, which, in order to escape from their
enemies, disturb the water by emitting a black
liquid. That phrase meant that, after having brought
the affairs of the nation into a desperate state, the Mi-
nisters wished to take advantage of the very dangers of
their position to terrify and to keep their competitors
at a distance an ingenious plan no doubt, but for
the success of which one ingredient was essential, and
that is, that the competitors of the Ministers should be
sufficiently unacquainted with public affairs to con-
sider them to be in a bad position. But we are no
longer in 1840; we have reached 1845. For four
years M. TRIERS has not directed our foreign affairs.
Peace is perfectly re-established, and M. GUIZOT
has succeeded, not without much difficulty, in ar-
ranging the inheritance bequeathed to him by
M. TRIERS. Our position in the month of Jannary,
1845, is as calm and as simple as it was agitated
and complicated in the month of October, 1840
This is what we have taken the liberty to observe
to the Constitutionnel. That journal has compelled
U 3 to enter into this retrospective discussion, for
which we ask pardon of our readers. It is not for mere
pastime that we attack any of the eminent men of
the day. We would wish to see them united for the
same object—the consolidation of our institutions.
There was a splendid epoch offered itself after the
Revolution of July. It passed away, alas ! too quickly.
It was that period when all the men of talent, whether
Deputies or Ministers, united with a patriotic disin-
terestedness to defend peace, public order, the throne,
and the charter. We have not forgotten that M.
Tumus was one of those men, and we now ask under
what pretext of public advantage he attacks the pre-
sent Ministers ? We have not been able to obtain an
answer, because the opposition arises from an in-
trigue to effect a change of persons. The Ministry
which has existed during four years has rendered
immense services. Under its administration France
has prospered. We shall, therefore, support it until
it shall be proved to us that its policy is bad, and
that a better can be substituted in its place."
CountPoirrALEs, the reporter of the Address in the
Chamber of Peers, read a draft of the paper to the
House on Tuesday, and the discussion was expected
to begin on Friday. In the Committee of the De-
puties numerous documents had been presented by
the Ministers. Among others, several respecting
Otaheite, which had been withheld last session
These, it is said, fully bear out the expediency and
spirit displayed by M. GUIZOT in his negotiations
with Lord ABERDEEN on the subject.
The following account of the grand entertainment
given by the Chinese Commissioner to. M. DE LA-
GRENE, the French Ambassador at Macao, appears in
Galignani's Messenger, and will be read with in-
terest:—

" Ki Ing, the Imperial Commissipner, Viceroy of Canton,
a prince of the Emperor's fare arrived arrived at Macao in
01;1
the afternoon of September 29. e reposed himself on
the 30th, bat on the following' 3> came in great pomp
to visit the French Ambassad ap whom he had on the
preceding day sent his portrait. —l-lis escort was opened
with 150 lancers on foot, and closed with as many Man-
chou Tartar horsemen, armed with bows and arrows; and
sabres, but very badly mounted. We were all in full
uniform, though the temperature was up at 32 degrees
(above 100 Fahrenheit). At this first interview testi-
monies of consideration and friendship were exchanged
in profusion ' • Ki Ing and M. de Lagren‘ embracing each
other several times. At one in the afternoon of October
3, we returned the Imperial Commissioner's visit. Ki
Ing was lodged in the pagoda of the village of Wanghia.
a short distance from Macao. Besides his own pers,,nal
suite and attendants, M. de Lagrerti admitted into his
cortege about a dozen officers of the French navy; we
were all carried in sedan chairs. After reciprocal com-
pliments, Ki Ing took M. de Lagren• by the hand, and
led us into the dining-room, where was laid out a
splendid entertainment, which was served in the Chinese
manner, and artistically adorned with numerous flowers
and foliage. The director of the feast had had the
complaisance to lay forks and spoons with the Chinese
chop-sticks ; but, like men who have seen the world,
we almost exclusively made use of the chop-sticks.
The wines of Champagne, Rousillon, Oporto,
and Madeira, circulated freely. The eating com-
menced with the sweet meats, after which each guest
was presented with a cake, having the form of four
Chinese letters, signifying ' Friendship for 10,000 years
between France and China.' This good wish was hailed
with a thousand cheers. Then began the drinking of
healths, and they followed in such rapid succession that
our folks became alarmed. Ki Ing seated M. de La-
grent on his left, and Admiral Cecile on his right.
Howen, treasurer of the province of Canton, a Manda•
rin of the first class, was on the left of the Ambassador.
There were three other Mandarins at table, namely,
Tori-Lin, one of the forty academicians of Pekin ;
Tscha-O, a tall fat Manchou Tartar, with the tour-
nure of a brigadier of the Municipal Guard, Sub-
Prefect of Canton ; and Pan- thin-chen-tin-oua, au
honorary Mandarin, son of an old izlong merchant c.f
Canton, who left him immense wealth. I found myself
placed between the two last. The academicians was seated
at the farther end of the table, and was so active
in promoting the circulation of the wine, that he became
so drunk before the dinner was half over that he• was
obliged to be carried off. This episode gave rise to
many grotesque scenes. Ki Ing was very urgent in 'pro-
joking M. de Lagren4 to drink, and when he had drank
his own glass he turned it down, to show that he bad
drained it, and took care that his neighbours should do
the same. It is a great mark of politeness in the
Chinese to take up a portion with their chopsticks, and
put it into the mouth of the person to whom they wish to
do honour. This was done several times byKi Ing to M.
de Lagrend and Admiral CScile, and my neighbour, the
Manchou, conferred upon me the same token of his esteem
and friendship. In the course of the repast we were served
with bird's nests, shark's fins, and other Chinese rare-
ties, which I assure you were no bad dishes when well

DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
ROTTERDAM, JAN. 3.—From the Ist of January
to the 3ht of December, 1844, there arrived in the
Meuse and Goree 1,843 ships, and sailed 2,051, be-
sides the herring busses, and the vessels that came
from Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Schiedam, and by the
Zealand waters, or along the Wadden, from Ham-
burgh, Bremen, &c. The arrivals at Dordrecht were
360, the departures 400. The arrivals at Schiedam
were 225.

THE HAGUE, JAN.' 6.—According to the accounts
of the state of the river yesterday, no great change
had taken place. The ice, which was stated in our
preceding report to be still firm, in some places was
diminished by the thaw, and the water was every-
where falling. On the whole, the state of things was
considered to be favourable.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 7.—The'accounts of the rivers
continue to be favourable.

According to the latest statements of the Minister
of Finance, the state of the Conversion is as follows:

wine with him by holding up to me his own glass filled
to the brim, and thus his complexion, which was naturally
sallow, became of the true bacchanalian purple. Before
we rose from table, we were served with tea without any
sugar, which we found very bitter. Then came the
parting with reciprocal protestations of eternal friend-
ship, lii Ing exclaiming as we retired, • China and France
henceforth are united in one !' After four hours of

continued bumpers, we returned to Macao, each party
mutually pleased with the other."

MR. FORREST'S FOREIGN DIPLOMACY. - Mr.
Forrest had a farewell benefit in Philadelphia the other
night, and, on his being called out, delivered the follow-
ing speech:—" I propose, during my sojourn abroad, to
perform a few nights in the capital of the French
nation, where I have no doubt of a most cordial and
hearty welcome. I feel that I hazard nothing in saying
thus much. I speak from my personal knowledge of
the French nation, among whom I know an American is
always welcome, for an American gratefully remembers
that France was the friendly ally of his country, while
struggling for independence, and the French people have
not forgotten that it is to American example they owe
their initiation into the great cause of human liberty."
It will be recollected that Mr. Forrest went to England
, some years ago, and was rather roughly handled by the
critics. He now goes to Paris, to claim a reversal of
that adverse judgment. This speech is, therefore, it will
be perceived, conceived with a good deal of adroitness.
In fact, it is in theatrical politics very much like the
letter of instructions addressed by Mr. Calhoun to Mr.
King, in reference to Texas annexation.—New York
paper.
A NOBLE EXAMPLE. —lf those who are seized
with the game mania were to follow the noble example
of the Duke of Portland, it would be far more to their
credit and the better for society. We are informed that
his Grace, instead of preserving game (except a mode-
rate quantity for reasonable diversion) has, for many
years, given up one of his very extensive lordships in
Nottinghamshire to be sported over. The Duke does
not, with surplus game, destroy his tenants crops and
exact high rents. How widely different this to those
"English country gentlemen " who have, through the
game mania, " reduced themselves to the condition of I
poulterers."

There are not any 1 ite arrivals in the 'City this mom.

cent change in the wind; still it is a pretty well ascer-
tained fart that the trade of the port if
",];idly increasing. Up,it this subject We may here
quote the following extract from a City Trade Circular,
just sent to us:—
" Since the holidays business has been resumed with
a good feeling on the part of purchasers, and the prices
current before the closing of the markets have been
generally maintained since the re-opening. Ever.s thing
at present promises well for the trade and commerce of
the country during the year 1845. We have pence
abroad, and at home the working part of the community
with the exception of our agricultural labourers, are ac-
tively employed. The public treasury is also overflow-
ing ; so that we mr.y, calculate on some relief from the
burden of taxation, while public credit will be fully main-
tained, and all the necessary machinery of Government
be kept in motion. Great changes are, nevertheless, still
wanting to render our social state what it ought to be,
and what good government is capable of making it."
A considerable amount of business has been transacted
in the British Securities to-day. The Commissioners

The following is the last bulletin of M. Viliemain's
health, dated Tuesday :—" M. Villemaiti is a little
better than on preceding days. lie was up yesterday
the greater part o' the da). He took some nourishment,
and conversed without any marked fatigue with one of
his friends."
A grand ball was given at the Austrian Embassy on
, Monday evening. The company was very numerous,
arid the dresses of the ladies were remarkable for their
splendour. The mazurka was danced by several of the
young nobility in a style which excited general admira-
tion. An elegant supper was served at one o'clock.
The Presse states that the Ministry will almost im-
mediately present to the Chambers a Bill to make a pro-
vision for the daughters of M. Villemain, and observes
that " it would be shameful of the country to permit
indigence to be the inheritance of those who, in serving
it forget entirely their own interests."
The French Academy has elected Count Moli as its
Director, for the quarter which has just commenced.
A report was current in the Salle des Conferences of
the Chamber of Deputies, that Count de Montalivet,
the Intendent of the Civil list, had given in his resig-
nation. It does not appear that it has been accepted.
The English theatrical company were to perform, by
command, at the Tuileries en Thursday next.
In consequence of the brilliant success of Shakapeare's
tragedy of Macbeth, on Monday night, it was to be re-
peated on TueSday, at the Italian Theatre. Owing to
the immense success of these representations, an at-
tempt has been made to obtain an autnoriation to pro-
long them for a few nights, but without effect ; and the
public will learn, with regret, that they are to close
definitively with the number of performances already
announced.
The receipts of the Customs at the port of Havre, for
the last year, amounted to 26,898,120 f., being an in-
crease of 1,309,098 f. upon those of 1843. Upon foreign

crease of 421,617 f. There was a decrease in the naviga-
tion duties of 142,494 f.
The Hare of Bayonne states from Catalonia that, on
the 30th ult., fourteen persons were arrested at Figueraa,
on a charge of having taken part in the plot, at the head

Accounts from Madrid of the 2d inst. state that a large
number of general officers had been promoted, among
others Mazzardo and Breton, for the purpose of qualify-
ing them to sit in the Chamber of Peers and support
their patron, Narvaez.
The following appears in a German journal:—
" During the celebration of the late anniversary at Koe-
nigsberg, a young lawyer, when wider the influence of
wine, spoke disrespectfully of the King of Prussia, for
which one of his Majesty's officers called him out. At
three exchanges of shots the lawyer fired in the air,
every time retracting his expressions ; but his adversary,
unmoved by the noble conduct of his opponent, tirt d
fourth time, and moetall wounded hie,. When (hove,
the lawyer dragged }mess It to the foot of ihs
and said, Sir, I congratulate you ; yen have won your
captaincy.' This dying stroke of wit, however, brought
severe vengeance on the assassin ; for the King, on being
made acquainted h the whole of the circumstances, so
far from promoting his officer, broke him, and dismissed
him with disgrace from the service."

The special sittings at Nisi Prius of the Court of Ex-
chequer at the Guildhall, for the purpose of trying the
case of Newell v. Webster, an issue directed by the Court
of Chancery, to be tried with the view of ascertaining
the validity of the plaititiff's patent for improvements in
the manufacture of wire rope, commenced on Thurs-
day, and was continued yesterday. The Lord Chief
Baron presided.
Mr. Hemp. the officer to the Sheriffs of the county of
Middlesex, read the usual prockunetien of outlawry
against a number of persons in the Sheriffs' Court.
In the Bankruptcy Court, Mr. H. J. Wallack, the late
lessee of Covent-garden Theatre, obtained his final order
witholt etiisosition.
Peter .Watkins, the druggist, who occasioned the
death of William Watts, a cabman, by selling him
tartaric acid instead of tasteless salts, was tried at the
Central Criminal Court for manslaughter, and acquitted
on the ground that the mistake was the result of
accident.
In the New Court, John Lucas Grierson, a well-
dressed lad, 17 years of age, was indicted for stealing
a coat, waistcoat, a pair of trovrsers, and other articles,
value five guineas, the property of Mr. J. Charles, of
Fleet-street. The prisoner, who was described as a
labourer in the calendar, but is said to be a " Professor
of Phrenology," &pi:eared at the bar with his hair cut
closely, after the fashion of the House of Correction.
He pleaded guilty to the charge. The Common-Ser-
geant thought this was not the first time he had been
before him. His Lordship adjudged him to another and
more laborious study in the Compter for the next nine
calendar months.
At the Middlesex sessions, Michael Hughes, aged 16,
William Davis, 19. George Gilson, 16, Henry Lucas, 16,
Henry Hawdon, 16, Prederick Dowling, 16, William
Meredith, 16, John Branch, 18, Edward Cassidy, 16.
John Wilson, 16, William Hadaway, 16, and Robert
Watson, were indicted for making a great riot and dis-
turbance in the workhouse •of the parish of St. Luke,
Chelsea, and assaulting and beating Daniel Sutton, the
master thereof. The affray took place on the evening of
Christmas-day, after the defendants had been regaled
with roast beef and plum pudding, and originated in the
reftisal of the defendants to go to bed at the usual hour.
During the affray the defendants had broken 97 panes
of glass. The judge having summed up, the jury found
all the prisoners Guilty. His Lordship, in passing sen-
tence, animadverted in the strongest terms upon the con-
duct of the defendants, and cautioned them as to their
future conduct. The sentence upon Watson avid Davis
was three months' imprisonment and hard labour ; upon
Hughes, Branch, and Wilson, two months ; and upon all
the others 24 hours' imprisonment.
The Clerkenwell Police-court was crowded by parties
who had been summoned by the officer of Clerkenwell,
for the non-payment of poor-rates. Many of them
pleaded non-liability, whilst the majority urged poverty,
as an excuse for non-payment, and they were allowed
time to pay.
Great complaints are made of the cold and damp state
of the new Lambeth Police-court. The fittings up, too,
are of the most paltry description, are-1 Shelse ell, the
office-keeper, complained to the magistrate that he had
not coals enough to light the office fires ou the iollowmg
morning.
At Southwark, William Compton, a marine-store-
dealer, residing at Star-corner, Bermondsey, was brought
before Mr. Cottingham, charged with violating the per-
son of Jane Matthews, a girl thirteen years of age. the
girl lived in the service of a Mrs. Baker, of Bermondsey,
who was a friend of the prisoners, and when the prosecu-
trix informed her mistress of what had occurred, Mrs.
Baker advised her to say nothing aboutit. The Magis-
trate severely reprimanded .Mrs. Baker, and remanded
the prisoner until Wednesday on the capital charge.
Elizabeth White and Jane Robinson, two girl-, of the
relative ages of 14 and 13, were placed in the dock
before Mr. Clive, at Wandsworth, for final examination
upon several charges of felony. From the evidence
adduced in this and the former examination, it appeared
that the prisoners, who were exceedingly diminutive for
their ages, were sent out by their parents professedly to
sell onions, but, in reality, to steal whatever they could
lay their hands on. The prisoners did not attempt any
defence. Their mothers were in attendance, but their
sole anxiety seemed to be to secure the money found
upon their children. The prisoners were committed for
trial at the Surrey sessions.

general meeting of the principal dancers of the metropo-
litan theatres, private teachers, and members of the corps
de bullet of the London and provincial boards, was held

consideration a code of rules and regulations which had
been drawn up by a committee for the government of an

giment of Carbineers, named Isidore Carron, was seri•
tented to death on Tuesday, by the Crnm,.il of ‘l,, lir

demned was the grandson of Colonel Carron, who was
executed, in 1822, for conspiracy again the Government
