The Archdeacon wound up his Charge, .by observ-
ing :—" That which above all we shau'id each one
dread, is a cold, worldly, trifling Mini'stry—a Minis-
try which is busy in circumstantialiri, which is idle as
to materials, which is formal or Sri,volou3, or charit-
able, or busy, provided it be not sp i'iritual—a Ministry
which does not indeed lay hold of the souls of our
people, because our own souls an not given up to
Him whose name we fear." The 3e remarks apply
with peculiar force to the recent conduct of
those ghostly Prelates, LOND ON and EXETER,
who have notoriously distinguisi ted themselves by
being " busy in circumstantials,' as, for instance,
when the former in his famous Cl large of 1841—of
which we have already made honc•urable mention—
elaborately discussed the question of wax candles on
the Communion-table, and whether tb s minister
should bow to the east or west on leaving, the church ;

Unfortunate Spain seems destined to undergo now
convulsions, and, to all appearance a, as fruitless as
any that have taken place since the first invasion of the
French during the reign of NAPOLf ON. The country
now has been for nearly forty -ye ars in a constant
state of turmoil ; any little trxide. that existed has
been completely destroyed ; the energy of the people
has been turned—not to the r ►rts of: civilisation, or
commerce, or literature—but to. plets and conspira-
cies and intrigues ; and the mg )st lamentable fact in
this dismal account is, that n of one man of energy,
combining honesty and patri( ►ti;;m, has sprung up
during that long period. An the revolutions
which have broken out in England and
France, some bright genius. —some man sur-
passing all his competitors, gre at as they were—
came forth to vindicate th© ,hoe our of his country,
and lay the foundation of a systi .m of liberty, or, at
all events, of stable government. England and
France never appeared to such Advantage, or were
more respected and dreaded by foreign countries, than
when they were torn by civil dissensions, and ap-
peared almost helpless against foreigi I aggression.
What saved them ? The patriotism of the people—
that love of country -which swipe' ises all other
passions in energy and enthusiasm„ and that noble
spirit of independence which •will brook no
interference of strangers. Caomwic LL vindicated the

majesty of the English nation, and. though regarded
as an usurper, was courted by every Sovereign, even
the most absolute, in the civilised NI 'orld. For years
before BONAPARTE distinguished. hb nself, the French
had set all their enemies at defiance ; raw troops, in-
spired with the love of country, marched almost to
certain death—nothing was thougilt of but ,the inde-
pendence of their country; and, to tPaeir immortal
honour, they not only expelled tl ieir -worthless nobi-
lity and clergy, but raade inroads on their meddling
neighbours, and magnanimously as 9 erted the inde-
pendence of the French nation. What glorious
struggles, too, the people ofi? the Nether-
lands made against the wire ole power of
Spain ! They fought to the: death against
slavery, and were finally victorious., and the house of
Austria strove in vain against a 1 ndful of patriots
who followed the banners of TELL, and established a
pure Republic in the midst of despotic States. What
a contrast, when we turn to Spai n• —once the most
energetic and powerful kingdom in Europe ! There
is scarcely a wreck left. She has ) lot one ship of the
line fit for service—she has no m ercantile navy.
Bankruptcy, dishonour, public swizif lling, conspira-
cies, and murders, are the only featiir es which distin-
guish this miserable- country. An' constitution,
under the directions of French authorities, has
been framed, and will be fully- completed, un-
less interrupted by some new 43, 3nspiracy—some
new scheme for individual inter, ests at the ex-
pense of the wretched inhabitants--the victims of
every regenerator and impostor. ZIII&BANO has raised
the standard of revolt, but what can. bt . expected from
a ruffian of his character, whose onl,r mode of punish-
ment is death, and who for his own individual inte-
rests would sacrifice the constitutio a of 1837, and sell
himself to the first bidder. NARV &BZ is bad enough,
but ZURBANO would be infinitely P worse, and even
Don CARLOS himself, who ought t,o have some regard
for the people, would be worse tk u t either. His Du-

rango decrees mark his ferocious n &Sure, and altogether
every leader that has yet appeared, , •with the exception of
ESPARTERO, only exhibits the u.t ter degradation and
corruption of the Spanish natic,n. We look to the
contest without the slightest IP .)p e of consolation; and
every friend of humanity can .only lament in despair
the sufferings to which the 'IY .)vver classes, from all
accounts the most remarkably in Europe, are sub-
jected by the worthless arms tocracy, the grasping
priesthood, and the mercer►ul ,y officers and soldiers.
Every year, nay, every in onth, some new out-
break takes place ; the unfortunate inhabitants
are made the victims, their. property is pillaged, they
are shot like beasts of pre: y, and there seems to be
no end to their calamities. It ever any nation had a
claim to the humane ermsideration of Christian
States, Spain has the best :right to demand their aid ;
and France and Englalbd, and the other great
Powers, will suffer much. in the judgment of pos-
terity, if these horrible sec les are not put down by a
universal combination in the cause of humanity.

he Madrid Gazette of the 19th instant publishes
a supplement, containing a dispatch from the military
chief of the Logrono, in which he states that he came
up with the band of Zurt BANO near Montenegro, and
that his followers, on th.e approach of the QUEEN'S
troops, threw down their arms and fled in all direc-
tions. ZURBANO and his two sons made their escape,
with the intention, apparently, of crossing the Ebro,
and seeking refuge in France. Tile Government
continue to show great jealousy and suspicion of the
numerous disbanded officers residing in Madrid and
the 'provincial towns,. The Generals ESPINOSA,
RAMIREZ, GRACES, &c.., have bee a ordered to quit
the capital. All the officers h&ve been ordered
to present themselves every week to the mili-
tary commandants of the towns 'where they reside,
and not more than three of them :ixe to be "permitted
to meet at the same time. These discontented officers
are said to amount to nearly ten thousand. "Most
of them," according to a Madrid letter which appears
in a French Government paper, ." are destitute of the
means of existence, and are disposed to join any party,
whether Carlist, constitutional, or republican, pro-
vided they can procure bread. It is thus that almost
all the bands of brigands that infest the roads and
environs of Madrid are commanded by old officers.
These bands, if a civil war were to break out in any
part of Spain, would become factions, for they have
arms and money."
The Paris Moniteur, on the authority of a letter,
says ZURBANO had entered Srtragossa and put the
Governor to death, but the report is not entitled to
credit.

The QUEEN'S file was ct.lebrated on the 19th,
when a grand levee was held at the Palace. The
Bourse in consequence was closed on that day.

withj°
Otaheite,mmeuoefhwhich appeared in some of the London
journals. The subject, however, hardly deserves
further notice; and we should not have adverted to
it again, but for an amusing, and at the same time,
in some respects a very sensible article, in the
Journal des Debats. That journal treats these
exparte statements as they deserve. " In the dearth,"
it says, " which at present prevails in the domain of
polemics, several journals Nava contrived to discover
a new subject against England, and yesterday copied,
with a great increase of intlignation, a letter from
Otaheite, published by an English journal. We
should ourselves have given this Methodist tirade if
we had believed that it merited our doing so, or if
we had discovered anything -n.ow in it. But, in truth,
we do not consider ourselves obliged to pay a serious
attention to all the epistolary fragments which we
find every day in the vast catacombs of the English
papers, and to which these journals themselves attach
only a very secondary importance. In England, the

THE SUN, LONAON, WEDNESDAY EVENING:

' principal object of the journals is to have news
which the others have not, and thence it follows that
they in general receive all the communications sent
to them, without much caring what political signifi-
cation they may have. It is, we are inclined to
think, to this unlimited custom of publicity, more
than to any deliberate sentiment of malevolence,
that must be attributed the insertion in an English
journal of great circulation of the famous letters dated
from the harbour of Tangiers. These letters, al-
though the whole affair concluded in a manner bur-
lesque enough by the confession and contrition of a
chaplain, nevertheless possessed a certain importance,
from the position of the persons to whom they had
been in the first instance attributed, and the very
awkward consequences which they might involve.
But, in good faith, we have something else to do with
our time, and with the attention of the public, than
waste both in what an illustrious orator has called
(perelles de sacristic. We do not judge it necessary
to blow up the flame of discord between two great
nations relative to the ill-humour of a missionary, cry-
ing out the abomination of desolation, because some
French sailors danced on a Sunday with the savage
ladies of the isle of Cythera. What is there in that so
wonderful, or, we may say, so offensive ? Every one
knows that a French Sunday is not, thank Heaven, like
an English one ! The Methodists had taught the Ota-
heitans to observe the Sabbath in the English way—to
be melancholy on the seventh day, and not to take any
strong liquours unless perhaps such as they themselves
sold them—and, behold ! they find all their economy
disarranged by the introduction of more sociable and
more tolerant habits ! What is there astonishing in
their exaggerating their grievances, in their increas-
ing to an immoderate extent what they consider a
stumbling-block of offence, and in accusing our
sailors of giving to the gentle and simple daughters
of the South Sea lessons in forbidden choregraphy ?
We are well persuaded that these accusations are so
many calumnies ; but it must be borne in mind that
dancing, even of the noblest character, is in the eyes
of zealous Protestants a monstrous desecration of the
Sabbath. It is, therefore, natural for them to cry
out a little. When their language is risible, it ought
to be laughed at; when it is rude, to be pitied; and
when well-founded attended to; but in no case do we
think that there is sufficient cause in their complaints
to recal ambassadors, or to excite sentiments of ani-
mosity between two nations who look on each other
seriously. We are well convinced besides that, on
this point, as on many others, the Opposition journals
make much more noise than they think there is harm,
and that if they are going to seek for war at Otaheite,
it is, as M. DE LAMARTINE very justly observed, what
they will not find."
The Courrier Francais contradicts in these words
a paragraph, which we copied yesterday from the
Prcsse, relative to the return of Admiral Durscrer

THOUARB : _
" The Ministry was accused of having put the crown-
ing point to its baseness by recalling Admiral Dupetit-
Thouars ; it was a calumny. In place of recalling him,
the Ministry forbids him to return. It is only too just.
The prompt return of M. Dupetit Thouars would pro-
bably excite public indignation more keenly ; and if his
appearance coincided with the sitting of the Chambers,
who knows what part the Opposition might draw from
it against the Ministry ? M. Guizot has come to the
conclusion that a second voyage of circumnavigation
should be prescribed to the Admiral, in the interest of
the Cabinet. The Admiral will be permitted to return
home when the Otaheite affair is forgotten, dead, buried.
M. de Mackau, it is said, has gone further. His solici-
tude for his brethren in arms, and his zeal for his com-
rades, are well known. He desired to charge M. Du-
petit Thouars to make a voyage of discovery to one of
the Poles, to seek for unknown lands, or even to at-
tempt the north-west passage from America. Never did
a smaller matter more completely dishonour a Ministry!
All the falsehoods which it heaped together to justify
its renunciation of the sovereignty of Otaheite, and the
disavowal of M. Dupetit Thouars, are evident ; the
Moniteur proves it. The Admiral's Aide-de-camp was
kept in a sort of sequestration, when he arrived in France
at an inopportune moment ; the news from Otaheite
was kept back from the public until information arrived
from other sources ; the country, and the families of
persons out at Otaheite, were allowed to remain in the
utmost uneasiness relative to the combats engaged in
with the natives ; and now, behold ! the officer who was
disavowed is not permitted to repair to France, but is
kept under arrest on board his frigate, during a fresh
voyage of great length ! An article was wanting to the
penal code of the Ministry which invented disavowal and
Name—it is circumnavigation."
These papers furnish no additional information re-
specting the fate of ZURBANO, but publish extracts
from Bayonne papers, containing both a proclamation
to the people, and an address to his followers after
having entered Najera. They are, however, very
contemptible productions. We fear there is too much
truth in the following character of this man, as given
by the Presse :
" Zurbano unites in himself some of the good qualities
and all the defects of those Guerilleros who, from the
epoch of the invasion until the treaty of Vergara, covered
themselves with glory in the war of independence, and
with blood in the civil war. Ile is in the highest degree ,
a man of stratagem, audacity, ferocity, and indefatigabi-
lity ; a compound of the fox, the boar, and the tiger, a
dangerous friend, a redoubtable enemy. Before he made
himself the terror of Catalonia, he was the butcher of
the Carlists, and if Narvaez had not arrested him at Tor-
rejon, ho would not have treated the Progressistos in
1843 better than he treated the Moderados at Vittoria
and Bilboa in 1841. The proverb says—honours
change manners, but Zurbano gives the lie to the adage.
Ile has preserved, under the uniform of a Lieutenant-
General, his habits of a smuggler ; always ready to give
a blow with his fist or a shot from his musket, always
acting with brutality, and speaking in language of the
grossest insult. In proof of this, the case of M. Laserna,
the political chief of Bilboa, may be adduced. He treated
him in 1841 as he had all his life treated the officers of
the Customs who opposed his contraband practices. All
the endeavours of the Government have been in vain ;
nothing can appease the instincts of this sanguinary
sityforof Zurbano, and that being in action, which is the
characteristicgces
con-
tinual excitement of ferocity which urges him into adven-
tures which promise him the gratification of insatiable
desires do not, however, exclude him from having great
distinguishing guiTshhienne
subtlety and much prudence. Danger never stops him,
but ho never seeks it without a motive. At the same
time, it is not very easy, we repeat, to assign any serious
motive fur his last coup-de-main."

An inquest was held last evening before Mr.
Higgs, at the Barley Mow, Duke-street, Grosvenor-
square, on Mr. Henry Seabrook, aged 50, the landlord
of the above house. Mr. Knight, butler to a gentleman
in Grosvenor-square, said that he was in deceased's
company on Monday night, and at twelve o'clock be left
him at his house. Deceased was then perfectly sober.
Mr. William Bloxham, surgeon, said that he was sent
for last Tuesday morning to attend upon the deceased,
whom he found in bed, much injured. Deceased told
him that on the previous night ho went down into the
cellar to do something to the barrels, and was at the
top of the first flight of stairs upon his return, when he
missed his hold of the bannisters, and fell over and over
to the bottom. He had sufficient strength to go up stairs
again, and did not complain of what had happened until
the next morning, when witness was called to him. On
Saturday inflammation of the brain commenced, and he
died that day. He was a very heavy man, and that,
perhaps, accounted for the severity of the injuries. Ver-'

company with a gentleman carrying on an extensive
business in town, last Tuesday, in Glasgow. The gen-
