derived from those prejudices—has triumphed and
prospered among us in a degree more eminent than it
has anywhere else attained. That Church which has
so often and so heroically fought the battle of con•
stitutional liberty against civil and ecclesiastical
despotism and violence, they would gladly see in the
baSe attitude of a repentant suppliant, imploring, with
tears of anguish and humiliation, the Church of Rome
to receive her back again into its fold ! Such language
as this a recreant, who calls himself a minister of
the Church of England—and who, holding such
opinions and expressing such wishes, has not been
ashamed to continue in the ministry and connexion
of the Church which has nourished his treason in her
bosom—such language he has ventured to utter, to
repeat, and to record, in this very year 1845.
In the columns of a Contemporary we observe a
significant indication of the spread which this " dis-
turbing force" of Puseyism is making in the sister
University of Cambridge. We have already shown
how at Oxford and elsewhere it confounds words
with things, forms with principles; how it abuses
doctrine to exalt ceremonial, and is prompt to sacri-
fice the essentials of " true religion undefiled," to the
vanities and innovations incorporated into the scheme
of Christian worship by the superstition or worldly
notions of policy that have prevailed in high places
during the ascendancy of the worst corruptions of the
Church of Rome. We can heartily sympathise,
however, with the laudable and ever generous
reverence that enlightened Protestants entertain for
that spirit of magnificence in their devotions, and for
the lofty genius, and bold yet beautiful conception
attested in the sacred edifices they have left behind
them, which record to the latest posterity the sin-
cerity and solemnity of the faith professed by our
Roman Catholic forefathers. The " CAMBRIDGE CAM-
DEN SOCIETY," instituted for the purpose of contri•
buting to the preservation and restoration of these
noble works, has been pursuing a career of singular
usefulness with most meritorious liberality. Its
efforts have had a direct tendency to induce the ex-
tension of the habits of Church going, and whilst at-
taining that permanent object to improve and refine
the public taste of the present day, and to perpetuate
the remembrance of the founders of such precious
fabrics. Is it not insufferable that because the great
body of the members composing this Society
are naturally offended with their Puseyite Committee
for incorporating into the Society's republications and
papers, on every possible occasion, the stan'ps and
badges of the Roman mummery which the Puseyite
doctors and deacons so profoundly affect, the public
are about to lose the benefit of its existence ? Like
the Established Protestant Church of England, which
your WARDS, and your NEWMANS, and your PAL-
MERS " cannot away with," the Cambridge Camden
Society is to be overthrown by the insidious under-
working of these Pusey moles. We have read the
following passages with a regret in which we are con-
fident our readers will fully participate:—
" The dissolution of this Society, which, according to
the announcement of the President on Thursday evening
last, is to take place in May next, will not, it is ru-
moured in the University, pass off very quietly on that
day, if indeed it will be allowed to fall without a pre-
vious struggle. Some of the resident members are of
opinion, and it is thought that a great number also of the
non-resident ones are of a similar one, namely, that a
plan fur a church at Hong-Kong, or anywhere else, can
be furnished without a Romish calendar being printed
simultaneously at the Pitt press for the Secretary of the
Society, and the envelope stamped with the effigy of a
Romish saint. . . . The questions are asked—cannot
the study of ecclesiastical architecture be pursued un-
less in connexion with the encouragement of the absur-
dities and errors of superstition ? and the Committee
think the avowed object of the Society not worth car-
rying out, unless it can be made the means of promoting
objects not avowed ? As the Society has recently ex-
cited a deal of public interest, it were as well, in justice
to all parties, that its avowed objects should be publicly
known.

" The Cambridge Camden Society was instituted in
May, 1839, for the promotion of the study of ecclesias-
tical architecture and antiquities, and the restoration of
mutilated architectural remains. Such being its avowed
object, it afforded opportunities for the mutual
study of ecclesiological subjects to its resident
members, and circulated amongst its non-resident ones
the papers read at the meetings of the Society.
It disseminated, moreover, a variety of publica-
tions, some of which were intended for the use of mem-
bers, while others were addressed more generally to
influential classes immediately connected with the
preservation, restoration, and building of churches. It
made occasional grants, as in the case of the Round
Church, Cambridge, in aid of particular restorations.
and corresponded with similar societies founded fur si-
milar objects in other places. Amongst these is cul
tivated a good understanding with the Oxford Society
for promoting. the study of Gothic architecture, with
the Exeter Diocesan, _Lichfield, Durham, Yorkshire,
Down, Connor, and Dromore, and Bristol Architectural
Societies, the members of which enjoyed the privilege of
purchasing the publications of the Cambridge Camden
Society on the same terms as its own members."
Will the Cambridge Camden Society permit us to
exhort them to a .stout fight, and to the determined
maintenance of their most useful course and very in-
valuable labours ? They may be assured that the
benefits of that course, and the evidence of their la-
bours, will survive long after the overheated vision-
aries who have managed thus to vex the Church are
forgotten for their folly, or, if remembered, remem-
bered only in pity for the caprices of human fatuity.

The " Navy Estimates" for l 845-46 are not among
the least remarkable of the sessional papers which
have yet been published, nor among the lust signi-
ficant, perhaps, of the " signs of the times." An
" abstract," as usual, precedes them, which is classified
under 59 heads of general services, and exhibits, in
six several columns in juxta- position, the "gross esti-
mate for the year 1845-46; deductions (credits re-
served in aid of the costs) required to be voted for
the service of the said current year ; gross estimate for
the year 1844-45 ; deductions (credits reserved in aid
of the grants) ; last vote for the financial year 1844-44.'
The " grand total" of these estimates for the currentyear
is.stated at 7,151,5551.; that for 1844-45 was 6,250,120/.
Excess of naval estimates for the present year,
901,4351. The number of seamen to be voted this
year for the fleet, surveying- vessels, and troop-ships
(including 1,188 for Post-office packets), 27,500;
boys, 2,000 ; Royal Marines to be employed afloat,
5,500 ; ditto, to be employed on shore, 5,000: total
number of men and boys, 40,000. The principal
heads on which the votes to be taken for the current
year, after allowing and deducting for "credits,"
will exceed those of 1844-45, are these :—Wages to
seamen and marines, 1,289,5431.; excess over last year,
119,0671.; victuals for ditto, 610,5451.; excess, 65,5851.,
ages to artificers in her MAJESTY'S establishments
at home, 649,; 04/. ; excess, 41,5261. Naval stores for
building and repair of ships, &c., 1,199,1411.; excess,
145,1761. New works, improvements and repairs of
yards, 486,3461.; excess, 187,480/. Miscellaneous ser-
vices,llB,4s7l.; excess, 56,827/ Post-office department
(contract packet service), 544,774/. ; excess, 112,2331.
There is, besides, an aggregate of 16,0411. excess,
as compared vcith 1844-45 on the total estimates for
the following services in the current year 1845-46 ;
namely, Admiralty- office, 129,092/. ; General-Register
and Record-office of seamen, 11,6081.; scientific
branch, 39,545/. ; her MAJESTY'S establishments at
home, 131,047/. ; ditto, abroad, 22,957/. As com-
pared with 1844 and 1845, the total decrease in the
aggregate of the present estimates is only 57,7661.
This excess of the estimated charge for 1844 and
1845 is thus stated :—On wages to artificers in her
MAJESTY's establishments abroad, 851.; on medicines
and medical stores, 4071.; on half-pay of officers of
Navy and Royal Marines, 12,6561.; on military
pensionst and allowances, 6,0771.; on civil ,pensions
and allowances, 4,472/. ; on Army and Ordnance de-
partments, conveyance of troops, 29,4851.; and on
Home department (convict service), 4,6541.: total
excess of estimates for last year on the current year,
on six heads of service, 57,7661.

Among the details we notice, under Nt,. 10 of the
present Estimates (naval st ores for building and re-
pairing ships, &c.), for purchase of timber and mate-
rials, 756,068/. ; coals or other fuel for steam-vessels,
85,721/. ; purchase and repair of steam machinery,
280,000/. ; for building new steam-vessels, 108,0001.

Madrid papers of the 14th instant have been re-
ceived, but they bring no news. The country ap-
pears to be perfectly tranquil. On that clay the
Three per Cents. closed at 334 for cash, and 331 at
60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 241 at 60 days ; and
the Coupons at 264 at 60 days.

The debate on the Secret Service Money Bill
commenced in the French Chamber of Deputies on
Thursday. Long before the question was brought
forward (about three o'clock) the tribunes and gal.
leries were thronged, and much interest was evinced
in the contest between the Government and the coali-
tion. M. LUERBETTE, who was the first speaker,

made-an attack on -M. GuizoT for, the dismissal of
the Count ST. PRIEST, on account of his vote on the
PRITCHARD affair, to which the Minister replied, and
triumphantly asked whether a public functionary,
who constantly opposed the Government, could be
longer employed in its service. This was met by
loud. cheers from the Ministerial party, and the only
answer to it was given by M. DE L'Huvs, another of
the dismissed, who charged M. GUIZOT, while Am-
bassador at London, with voting against M. TRIERS,
and overturning his Ministry.
On Wednesday a deputation of postmasters had an
interview with the KING, and presented a petition
praying for indemnification for the losses they had
sustained by railroads. His MAJESTY admitted the
justice of their demands, and said—" If by a new
system certain privileged bodies lose a portion of their
vested rights, an equivalent indemnity appears but an
act of justice. This serious question has already oc-
cupied the attention of Ministers, and is about again
to become the subject of their deliberations."
We have no later accounts from Lausanne than
the 16th inst. In a supplement to the Helretie it is
' announced that the new Council of the Canton de
Vaud had informed the confederated States of the
changes which had taken place at Lausanne. The
public service had not been interrupted, and the peo-
ple after the victory had conducted themselves with
great order and propriety. Their neighbours, how-
ever, are anxiously watching the movements. Austria,
it was said, had resolved to interfere, and the French
Government had ordered reinforcements of the
troops on the frontiers. The Canton of Berne had
acknowledged the new Council and entered into rela-
tions with it.

The French Funds were a shade lower. The
Three per Cents. closed at Ba. ; the New Loan at
86f. ; the Five per Cents. at 122 f. 65c.; Orleans
Railroad Shares, 1,187 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,105 f.;
Havre, 902 f. 50c. ; Spanish Three per Cents., 41i ;
Ditto, Passives, 6i; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 611. 80c.

VOTE of CONFIDENCE in FRENCH

MINISTERS.

PARIS, FRIDAY, HALF-PAST EIGHT, P.M.
The adjourned discussion upon the Secret Service
Bill commenced to day by a speech from M. Joly
against the bill. He was replied to by M. Liadieres,
who was interrupted by M. niers in a most extraor-
dinary manner, the latter exclaiming that it was the
King who was the first to set the example of singing the
Marseilla!se. _ _ .

M. Boudet then proposed that the sum demanded
be reduced by 25,000 f. The Count d'Haussonville
combated the amendment, which was supported by N.
Billault, in a violent speech, who was met by M. Guizot,
to whom Odillon Barrot replied. At seven o'clock, the
close of the debate upon the amendment was called for,
when the nominal appeal was mule, and the question of
confidence implied in the amendment was put to the
vote, when there appeared—For the amendment, 205 ;
against it, 229—majority fur Ministers, 24. The Cham-
ber then proceeded to vote upon the original proposition
for a million of francs; when there appeared—For, 217;
against, 41—majority for Ministers, 176. The Opposi-
tion left after the vote on the amendment, as they did
when beaten on the address. The Chamber rose at eight
o'clock.
The Funds to-day at the close of the Bourse were—
Five per Cents., 122 f. 70c.; Three per Cents., 85E sc.

UNEXAMPLED EXPEDITION OF THE PRESS.—It Will no
doubt be interesting to your readers to state an instance of
expedition connected with the public press, which must ap-
pear altogether incredible to those who are unacquainted
with the machinery by which this mighty intellectual levia-
than is moved. On last Friday evening the Prime Minister
commenced his financial statement at exactly twenty minutes
to five o'clock. Of course all was anxiety out of doers to learn
its revelations. The commercial, the trading, the political
world were on the tip-toe of expectation. Never, we believe,
did the opening of any budget create such interest, or occa-
sion so much anxious inquiry. At twenty minutes to five
o'clock, I said, Sir Robert Peel rose to commence his address,
and he spoke to within five minutes to eight, or exactly three
hours and a quarter—a speech full of statistical facts and
elaborate calculations, and therefore one of the most difficult
character to report, and vet at half-past eight o'clock, just
half an hour after the Minister had sat down, an express
edition of The Sun newspaper was published, containing a
verbatim report of the speech, to the extent of ten columns,
which, by the spirited and enterprising proprietor, was
dispatched by an express train, per railway, northwards
carrying the intelligence of the important modifications pro-,
posed fUll twelve hours earlier than any other paper in the
metropolis. A report, be it observed, got up with unexampled
rapidity, yet admitted to have been one of the most cor-
peaogsrat
gallery
inte rt
rect that has yet appeared. This is justly entitled to be
called one of the miracles of the press, and a remarkable
illustration of what system and the proper division of labour
can accomplish. The report was taken in short-hand by about
nine reporters, each occupying in succession the gallery for
five minutes, and employing the interim in writing out their
notes for the compositors, or dictating to several amanuensis
employed to write for the press. By this arrangement, car-
ried out under the superintendence of one of the most able
and experienced gentlemen engaged on the metropolitan
press, all went on as.regular as clock-work— no confusion was

EXPEDITIOUS TRAVELLING.—THE MESSRS. JOHNSTON. OF
DUBLIN.—We copy, in the preceding page, an account of the
rapidity with which Mr. Johnston, of Dublin, travelled to
and from London, for the purpose of bringing over Sir Robert
Peel's financiatstatement. We received, on Sunday morn-
ing, a copy of the paper ( The Sun) thus brought.--Northern
Whig.
Through the public spirit of the proprietor of The sun,
Murdo Young, Esq., we were enabled last Saturday morning
to publish in Exeter an outline of the financial statement of
Sir Robert Peel, delivered in the House of Commons the
night before. Express edition copies of The Sun were re-
ceived in our office early in the morning, and distributed to
the news-rooms. This edition contained the whole of the
speech.— Western Times (Exeter).
Acknowledgments have also been received from the Chel-
tenham Free Press, Gloucestershire Chronicle, Second Edition
of the Staffordshire Advertiser, North Staffordshire Mercury,
Leamington Spa Courier, and the Shropshire Conservative.

MR. BIJNN'S BENEFIT.—We perceive that Mr.
Bunn has announced his benefit for this day week,
and we doubt not but that he will have a bumper, at
least he deserves it for his efforts as a caterer for the
public amusement have been as untiring as they have
been judicious. Let all those who have admired the
gorgeous splendours of The Corsair and the
Danaides—who have been deli.thted by the exquisite
melody of The Bohemian Girl, the only English
opera that has ever had a run of a hundred nights—
or who have been astonished by the magnificence,
and enraptured by the music of that greatest of specta-
cle operas, The Daughter of St.Marh—only remember
their obligations to Mr. Bunn, and we are satisfied
that his benefit will exceed his most sanguine expecta-
tions.

FUNERAL OF Ma. LAMAN BLANCHARD.—On Sa•
turday afternoon the remains of this truly estimable and
much-lamented gentleman were interred in the cemetery
at Norwood. He was followed to his earthly resting. place
by a number of his early and valued collabo,Gteurs in the
field of literature, and other friends endeared t.) him by
the warmth and kindliness of a heart that never har-
boured a thought that be might blush to own. The chief
mourners on the sad occasion were the three sons of Mr.
Blanchard, with Mr. Evans, Mr. Keym' r, and Mr.
Smith, brithers in-law to the deceased. There were also
present—Mr. E. Tennent, M.P. C. Landseer, R.A., W.
Jerdan, D. Jerrold, T. Landseer, F. Stone, George
Cruikshank, Kenny Meadows, W. F. Ainsworth, Wm.

MR. HUNT'S CURE OF STAMMERING.—From the
candid opening of his natural and efficacious system, and
witnessing not a few of its successful applications to ap-
parently desperate as well as less distressing cases, we
have, to the utmost of our power, promoted the general
knowledge of what we deemed to be a general blessing.
Holding this opinion, it has afforded us much gratification to
find that one of the last acts of one of the most popular and
respected gentlemen who has for many a year sustained as it
should be, with courtesy, discrimination, and sound judg.
ment, the important office of Lord Mayor of London, has
confirmed us in all we have ever published on this subject.
The following, in addition to his numerous high medical and
other distinguished testimonials, will, we trust, direct the
public attention still more especially to Mr. Hunt's con-
solatory practice :
Mansion-house, Nov. 7, 1844.
" When holding the office of Sheriff, Mr. Hunt, of Regent-street,
made me acquainted with the principles aids system for the cure of
stammering, and unreservedly showed me their successful application
in the case of George Pearson, who witnessed the treasonable attempt
on her Majesty's litii, Francis, and whose Impediment of speech
prevented him from giving an instant alarm ; and my conviction is,
that if Mr. Hunt's instructions are attended to with common dili-
gence, they are perfectly adapted to confer permanent benefit on the
BilulerQus class of the community who suffer under this affliction.
" WM. MAGNAY, Mayor."

physical improvement in the army, and the good effects that
it has produced. The number admitted into the schools in

not fewer than 227,800 French soldiers, or more than one-
half of the army, could neither write nor read.
