with the desperation of a, drugged Malay in
"running a-muck" at no less distinguished a judge and
profound lawyer than the present Lord High Chancellor
of England, and tramples in the dast the miserable
dictum of a Sir L. Powis, a judge in the reign of
GEORGE 1., whom he especiallydenounces on account of
his strong party prepossessions (I !) In speaking of
the deportment of the whole laity of this country, oa
finding that the opinion of the tribunals of the kingdom
corroborated their resistance to the revival of the more
offensive of these exploded forms and services, the
Bishop meekly declares that it was manifested "in a
yell of clamour." He admits, even, with contrition,
that he has been guilty of one signal error—to wit,
" the having given credit to the laity of our own times
for such a measure of intelligence, if not of Church
feeling, as would have protected them from falling into
the gross delusions " they had given in to.
The Bishop of EXETER deserves the thanks
of every sincere and honest member of the
Established Protestant Church. In this signal effusion
of an angry and bigoted hierarch, against all who hold
the detested docrine that the clergy are ministers "of" the
Church instead of ministers "in" the Church—(we do not
misquote his words)—and therefore, we presume, not
accountable to any authorities OUT of the Church, not
even to lay or public opinion ; in this effusion those who
think lightly of the recent Puseyite tamperings with the
Church service may learn to correct their error. In the
effusion of the " odium preluticumr pronounced by a
bishop of the Anglican Reformed Church in 1845, they
may detect significant hints of the extent to which the
Diocesan of Exeter would push the plenary pretensions
of his order, if he dared, which were proclaimed and
enforced too, by Diocesans of London and Durham,
about 300 years ago, when a MARY sate on the Throne
of a VICTORIA, and the impertinence of lay argument
was extinguished at the stake of ecclesiastical fires.
HENRY of Exeter has been born nearly three centuries
after his time !

Madrid papers of the 12th have been received, from
which we learn that a number of arrests had been made
at Malaga, in consequence of the late affray between the
military and the inhabitants. Among others the editor
of the Opinion Publica, a journal of that place, had
been not only arrested but transported, without trial, to
some distant part of Spain. It appears that the editors
of the two Madrid journals, who had been subjected to
the same treatment, are allowed to reside at Seville, and
communicate with their friends. The Eco del Comercio
announces the arrival at Madrid, from Paris, of specie to
the amount of 48,000,000 reals (480,000/.), advanced by
foreign capitalists, and deposited iu the bank of San
Fernando, for the purpose of supporting the public funds.
The Gazette publishes returns of the foreign trade with
Spain in 1843, from which it appears that the. imports
amounted to 4,234,266/., and the exports to 3,047,3501.
The Customs duties • produced only 858,9341. Queen
CHRISTINA appears to be in in bad favour with the
people of Barcelona, and, it is said, will soon return to
Paris.

The Funds continue to rise on the Madrid Bourse.
The Three per Cents. closed at 311 for cash, and 331
at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 22 for cash, and
23 at 60 days ; the Temporary Debt at 61 for cash, and
the Debt without Interest at 71 at 60 days, with 1 prem.

Most of the Paris papers advert • to the discussion
which took place in the House of Commons relative to
the weak points of the English coast, and comment
chiefly on the speeches of Sir C. NAPIER and Lord PAL-
MERSTON. The National concurring in the statements
made by the Noble Lord, says England is no longer
isolated from the continent—she has frontiers, steam has
made her a continental power, and calls upon France to
take advantage of the circumstance and increase her
naval power. The Ministerial Globe praises both the
present and former Cabinets for what they have already
done in that respect. After alluding to the statements
made in the Commons it adds :—" The English compre-
hend the importance of the great works executed within
the last few years in our seaports. In the sitting of June
13, Sir C. NAPIER called the attention of the House of
Commons to the extension given to our steam navy, and
to the works going on in our seaports, particularly Dim-
kirk. Whatever may be said by the Opposition, who,
like the Jews in the time of ATHALIE, seem to have
eyes in order not to see, the Government has not ceased
since the Revolution of July to labour ac
tively for the maritime advancement of France,
by improving our harbours as much in a commercial as
military point of view." The army estimates were still
under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies, when
General SUBERVIE complained of the constant changes
made in the uniform of the troops, and more especially
of abolishing certain emblems which France recog
nised with pride. The Gallic cock, for instance, adopted
after the Revolution of July, had been removed from the
caps of the infantry—a crown had been substituted in its
place, and it was said that the vacant space on the brass
plate was to be filled up with a fieur de Us. Marshal
SOULT said the latter statement was entirely without
foundation. With regard to the other points, he said
the cap had been altered because it was too heavy, and
as there was not sufficient room for the cuck, the crown
had been substituted, hut the cock still re-
mained on the poles to which the colours were
attached. Colonel ALLARD also disapproved or
the change, for which no sufficient reason
had been given, and M. DIIPIN justly remarked that
these emblems, though trifling of themselves, had na-
tional recollections, with which it was dangerous to in-
terfere, and nothing could be more impolitic than chang-
ing the national uniform, which might be regarded as a
bond of alliance—as a contract between the KING and

the people. On the estimates for Algeria being pro.
posed, M. LASTEYRIE spoke in strong terms against
the system adopted for that colony, and found fault
especially with the vast expense annually incurred. One
hundred thousand men would soon be required to occupy
the territory, and even that number would not be suffi-
cient. Marshal SouLT vindicated the present policy, and
stated that, according to the latest dispatches from the
Governor, there would be no vestiges of the present
•
disturbances.
