alike deaf to the voice of reason, and their own solemn
engagements ; they have resolved to march to Rome,
and rather than be defeated in their purpose are de-
termined to risk all consequences. The scenes which
have been exhibited at Exeter for the last two or
three Sundays reflect the greatest disgrace upon
the order of Bishops. Striplings from Oxford
imbued with the new doctrines, and looking up to
their superiors for patronage, are encouraged to in-
sult the unanimous voice of the public, to treat with
contempt the most respectful and urgent remon-
strances against a departure from the usual modes of
public worship, to prefer the orders, or rather the
well-known propensities of their patrons, to the well-
being of their flocks—and their just reward is universal
execration. They are deserted in their churches,
hooted and mobbed in the streets, and obliged to
appeal to the civil force for protection even in their
own houses. The patrons of church livings, the Legis-
lature, to which the Established Reformed Church
owes its existence, and the QUEEN herself, the head of
the Establishment, cannot any longer stand by
inactive spectators, when the appointed shep-
herds of the flock have shown themselves rene-
gades, or incompetent to their duty. Let
the people, therefore, throw the Bishops en.
tirely out of the question ; let them apply for pro-
tection to the right quarter ; to the Crown and the
two Houses of Parliament, and demand their rights
as Protestants. To desert the Establishment or
erect free churches would be a great folly and a great
sin. This is what the new sect want. Could the
Puseyite Bishops only get rid of the staunch sup-
porters of the Protestant religion, and be at the same
time allowed to retain their large incomes and their
enormous patronage, they flatter themselves that
in time all would be right, that they would speedily
assert their supreme spiritual authority, and
again unite with Rome to elevate the Church
above human laws, and put down that spirit
of justice and independence which has ever
been so fatal to ecclesiastical dominion. The
people of the diocese of Exeter may rest assured that
they have the sympathies of all good Protestants, that
they will be supported to the utmost by the Legis-
lature, and in due time shall obtain their just reward.
Never, perhaps, in the whole history of commotions
in this country, and these are not few, was there ever
such a general, a determined, and a cordial hatred of
a new sect, as that which now prevails against these
wolves in sheep s' clothing.

In the lest number of the Dublin Pilot, which is
generally regeArded in Ireland as the organ of Mr.
O'CoNtsenn's sentiments, occur the following signifi-
cant remarks, in reference to the recent official com-
munication from Rome, addressed to Archbishop
CUOLLY :—" It is useless in us, Irish Catholics, to say
that this rescript is uncanonical, informal, and there-
fore can have- no influence upon the priesthood, for
they will regard it as a private letter of advice from
he highest personage on earth, and cannot treat it
with indifference. It is not to be concealed, then,
that this rescript is an untoward event; and the Irish
people should at once dispatch a delegation to Rome,
t I lay before his Holiness
,the true state of this coun-
try, and explain to him how desolate, and friendless,
and utterly abandoned • the Catholics would he,
if their hierarchy and clergy did. not assist and guide
them in their politieal movements. The members of
such delegation must go instructed to assure his
Holiness that there is nothing licentious—nothing
guilty, as in the French Reiolution—nothing rash or
imprudent, as in the attempted Polish Revolution—
connected with the Repeal movement in Ireland."
This delegation of Repeal 'members to Rome—of
which it is scarcely to be supposed that Mr, O'CoN-
NELL disapproves, inasmuch as the project is broached
in his own journal, the Pilot—is an ingenious idea,
at least so far as it will tend to sustain the hopes of
the Repeaters, which are just now greatly discou-
raged, and keep them in a sanguine state of excite-
ment until the return of the delegation from its
mission to the 'Vatican. Considered in this light, the
project, we repeat, is an ingenious ruse on the part of
the Repeal agitators to gain time; but no one can
possibly doubt the result of the mission ; it will prove
a most egregious failure, and will ultimately leave
Mr. O'CONNELL and his subordinates in a worse po3i-
tion than that in which they now are. The POPE
cannot, even if he possessed the inclination to do so,
rescind the orders which, after much grave delibera-
tion, he has deemed it expedient to issue to the Irish
clergy on the subject of the Repeal agitation. The
Infallible cannot confess to fallibility, but must be
consistent in spite of himself. Like the laws of the
Medes and Persians, his rescripts must be unalter-
able. But were it not so—were the Vicar of CURIST
at liberty to change his opinions as coolly and as
resdily as a Bishop of EXETER ; still it is not to he
supposed for an instant he would do so—certainly not
in a case like the present. For mark the dangerous
political precedent he would thereby be establishing
throughout the Catholic portion of Europe ! If he
once yielded to the entreaties of the delegation, and
withdrew his rescript to the Irish clergy, he would
be virtually acknowledging their right to interfere
in all matters of temporal agitation ; and this ob-
noxious privilege once conceded to the Catholic priest-
hood of Ireland, with what propriety could_ it be re-
fused to the Catholic priesthood of other countries,
should they at. any thee imagine their interests con-
cerned in heading a popular movement against autho-
rity? It is ridiculous to suppose that. the Pore
could ever he brought to concde a dangerous right
like this to his clergy, for, it,,aionld be sure, at no
distant period, to bring dowo on him, the wra'h of
France, Austria, and the. other Catholic States of
Europe, who have no notion .of putting too much
temporal power into te halm of their priesthood.
Then, observe the nature, of the•argaments which the
delegation are to address to hiA Tiolifiess, in the hope
of flashing conviction:, on * his „ghostly Mind ! Ile is
to be solemnly assured that there is," nothing licen-
tious—nothing guilty—nothing rash nor imprudent
I connected with the Repeal movement in Ireland !"
It is as innocent as a lamb of mischief; in .fact, it is
as moral, well-behaved, orderly, and rational, as it is
possible far an ultra-revolutionary movement to be.
To be sure, if it could by any remote chance be
crowned with success, it would put the sister country
into a state of absolute phrenzy from one extremity
to the other ; be the means of originating discord,
spoliation, and anarchy without end or limit ; de-
stroy the integrity of the empire ; confound and con-
vulse all orders of society, and astonish Europe by
the mingled folly, rashness, and atrocity of its ex•
cesses—to be sure, Repeal, if successful, would do all
this; but what then ? These are trivial considera-
tions beneath the dignity of a patriotic Repealer,
whose vocation it is to act as much as possible from
impulse, and as little as possible from the dictates of
common-sense ! We cannot conceive a richer or
broader joke than this proposed petition of the Irish
delegation to the POPE, that he—a ruler still more
jealous of his temporal than even of his spiritual
authority—will be graciously pleased to patronise
anarchy, by allowing the Catholic clergy of Ireland
to take active part in a great popular : movement
which is ultra-revolutionary in its character, and
:ends directly to the dismemberment of the empire!

Independent of the rumour of the Emperor of
RUSSIA'S death, the accounts from St. Yetersburgh
for some time have been of a very unfavourable cha-
racter. Sickness in the Royal Family, it is said, has
prevented the usual routine of balls and Court
amusements ; rumours of changes in the system of
Government have prevailed, and it has even been in-
ferred that there is a party around the throne more
powerful than the throne itself, and fully determined
also to assert their power. Of the vast influence of
the nobles and their retainers there can be no doubt,
and a very striking instance of the fact has been fur-
nished within the last eighteen months. The EM-
PEROR, aware of the wretched condition of the serfs
throughout his vast dominions, arid anxious to raise
them in the scale of human beings, as well tor their
own sake as the security of the throne, had issued an
ukase, the object of which evidently was to prepare
the way for their gradual emancipation. The
lords of the soil took the alarm, rebelled against the
royal will, and in a very few weeks afterwards the
humane decree was withdrawn. Such a display of
feeling on the part of the SOVEREIGN, however, could
not fail to produce a strong effect; it showed these
arbiters of royal destiny that the power, not the will,
was wanting to interfere with their privileges, and
led them to believe that, at a fit opportunity, the
design might he carried into effect. Have they,
there.fipre, ly.en forming scherre-s to ward off the
danger, to lay their SOTZBEIGN under restraint, and

remind him that he was placed on the throne, not by
right of descent, but by their sole will and pleasure ?
Judging from past events, and present appearances, 1
there is but too much ground for suspicion.
The Eurpatou, it must have been observed,
makes all his journics in the most expeditious
manner; not one seems to know when he is
to leave his capital or when he is to return ;
he affords no time for preparing plots during his ab-
sence ; even when he undertook the important visit to
England, and honoured our QUEEN with his pre-
sence, as little was known of his departure at St.
Petersburgh as at London, where every one was
taken by surprise. This is one of the penalties which
despots pay for what has been called their unlimited
power, though it is in reality the power of a system
of which the Sovereign is the head. He bears all
the blame ; be endures all the anxieties and horrors
surrounding a throne unprotected by the lower and
middle classes—unprotected, in fact, by any class ex-
' cept that which reigns alike over the King and the
peasant, and which sacrifices all others to its own
selfish interests. He sits on a volcano, and every
_ _

symptom of change, imaginary and real, overwhelms
him with the terror of an explosion. Even the

Emperor ALEXANDER, with all his good and
great qualities, and sifter the immense services
he had rendered to his country, was placed
in this very situation at the hour of his death.
The mine partially exploded soon after that event,
and the throne was saied only by the courage and
presence of mind displayed by his successor. Per-
haps his turn is now come; but such mystery and
secrecy prevails in all proceedings of despotic coun-
cils, and especially in those of Russia, that nothing
like an ordinary calculation of results can be obtained.
Two circumstances, however, throw some light on
the present policy of the Russian nobles. They are
determined to keep the peasantry down, and prevent
a middle class, like that in England, from dividing
authority with them. It is for the interest of the
throne, on the other hand, to raise the in-
habitants of large towns to importance, to give
trade and commerce its due share in the admi-
nistration of the affairs of the empire, and
thereby to form a counterpoise to the influence which
weighs down the energies of the most useful classes
in the community. The nobles, like the old barons
of England, will naturally struggle to the last against
both Sovereign and people, and, unfortunately, they
have more power now than even those haughty Eng-
lish despots had at ary period, except when an imbe-
cile King was on the throne. They possess all the
great domains of the country—they possess vast
power in the army, and, unfortunately, the army at
present is but too ready to be tampered with by their
machinations. Peace to Russian soldiers is the
greatest of all evils. Both men and officers are, at
the present moment, ill fed and ill paid—they are
sunk in idleness and povarty—they have had no wars
for sixteen years, except the war in the Caucasus, where
neither plunder nor glory is to be obtained, and they
are naturally dissatisfied with a SOVEREIGN who would
not take advantage of the helpless condition of the
Turkish empire, when it was assailed by AiiiniamET
Am, nor of the intrigues of Russian agents in Persia
against the British possessions in India. Peace abroad
and tranquillity at home are incompatible in a country
so purely military. The soldiers are open to any
bidder, and possibly the nobles may be the purchasers•
These remarks, of course, are founded only on con.
conjecture, for the domestic policy of Russia is in-
volved in impenetrable darkness. Even the causes of
her revolutions, the mode in which an obnoxious
Czar is pushed from his throne, and the winding up
of a vast conspiracy, which in France or England
would astonish the world, are regarded in that be-
nighted country as matters of ordinary occurrence,
and the great body of the people, like automatons,
move on again with the new system.

Tuns DAY'S NEWS

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
The C,,urt took the special paper to-day, and were
engaged in hearing arguments upon the case of the
comu'ittal of Mr. 1/ andersol, by the order of the Court
of Review, for a contempt. The arguments were of a
purely legal character, and would not afford any general
interest.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice 'WILLIAMS.)
ILLUSTRATED RECORDS.
Mr. FITZIIERBERT moved for a rule to show cause
why certain pictures, or, more properly speaking,
plans which had relation to a patent, should not be
struck out of the record, in a case pending before the
Court. It was the first time within his knowledge
that such ill u- trations had been introduced into com-
mon-law pleadings.
Mr. Justice WlLLlAms—Thriy are intended to illu-
unlde the pleas, I suppose.
Mr. FITZEIERRERT—No doubt, my Lord. But
though it is now,the fashion to illustrate almost eyery-
thinc7, 1 never expected to see legal papers so embel-
li.sl;d.
Mi.. Justice WlLLlAms—Take a rule nisi, and let.
the natter be argued before a full court.
Ituie granted.

This part-heard case was re'uined, and witnesses
were being examined for the defence when we went
to press.

INSOLVENT COURT—(TIIIS DAY.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE JOSEPH HILLYER.
The insolvent was the well-known and popular
Equestrian who had been so many years attached to
the late Mr. Ducrow's company. He described him-
self in his schedule as a riding-master and theatrical
equestrian.
Ike insolvent's petition to be discharged was sup-
ported by Mr. IVoodruffe, and opposed by Mr.
Cooke on behalf of Mr. Mayes, who married the late
Mr. Ducrow's widow, on account of a large number
of horses and a quantity of theatrical property which
the insolvent had bought from her shortly after her
former husband's death.
During a lengthened and searching examination to
which he was subjected by Mr. Cooks, the insolvent
stated that the last engagement be had was at Fran-
coni's Theatre in Paris, where he, with his wife, got
81. a week. An action was brought in one of the
French courts of law, in consequence of which he
left Paris, but returned again. Ile had no property
whatever in Paris at present, although he took
over two horses and a pony with him when he went
there, but he subsequently disposed of them to the
proprietor of the Theatre Francaise. Shortly before
the late Mr. Ducrow's death he made a will, in which
he left insolvent a legacy of 2701.; and on his
demise iu January, 1842, he bought from Mrs.
Ducrow seven horses out of the stud of her late
husband, seven poneys, and a quantity of horse fur-
niture and trappings, and also some theatrical pro-
perty. The sum which he agreed to pay for this
purchase was 7001., out of which the amount of the
legacy left by Mr. Ducrow was to be deducted,
and the remainder of the money was to be paid
in quarterly instalments of 251. He was unable to read
or write himself, but he got some of the members of
the company to keep a profit and loss account of the
various theatrical speculations upon whirl' he entered.
Previous to going to Franconi's, at Paris, he took his
company and a portion of his stud to Hamburgh, but
this speculation proved a complete failure, and, after a
sojourn of nine weeks there, he was compelled to give
it up, having lost a large sum of money. He was
engaged at the Theatre Royal, in Dublin, by Mr.
Calcraft, from whom he got a bill for 1751.
in payment of his salary, which bill he was
compelled to sell in Hamburgh for 701. Ile
also was compelled to sell some of his horses
there as well as some of his theatrical property. He
was born in Italy, but bad been twenty-one years in
this country, the greater part of which he spent in
Mr. Ducrow's theatre. Ile had also been compelled
to dispose of several of his horses in various places
where he had been performing. Ile swore distinctly
that he now possessed no property whatever, either at
Paris, Hamburgh, or el,ewhere. He did own a
house at No. 9, Stangate- street, about fourteen
months ago, but during his absence on the continent
his mother-in-law paid the rent and taxes, and also
supported his children, and both the preperty and
furniture in the house, and the interest in the house,
was vested in her.
Several other witnesses were examined.
Mr. CooKE applied to have the case postponed for
a week, on the ground that although the insolvent
had shown how he disposed of certain property, he
had failed to render a satisfactory cash account.
The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, although
he agreed with the Learned Counsel as to the cash
account, yet he thought the insolvent had shown
every anxiety to render a full and satisfactory account
of his affairs.
The COURT then ordered the case to stand ad-
j.aulted for a week, in order that the insolvent 'eight
&le a new money account.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
James Steward was charged with absconding from
the St. Pancras workhouse, and stealing a suit of II
cloth Mes.
r. Lee, the roaster, deposed to the fact of the i
prisoner's absconding about a week ago, and to his
returning to the workhouse as a destitute pauper, on
Saturday last, without the workhouse uniform, which
he said he sold to pay his debts. He scaled the walls
of the workhouse.
Mr. GREENWOOD—WeII, what have you to say ?
Prisoner (coolly)—I sold the clothes to redeem arti-
cles of more consequence.—He was sentenced to
' twenty-one days' imprisonment.

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
Upon Mr. Henry taking his seat on the bench this
morning, a greengrocer, residing in North-street,
East-lane, Walworth, applied to the Magistrate for
an assault warrant against two men and a female.
The applicant said that about half-past nine o'clock
last night the female, accompanied by two men, en-
tered his parlour with a large clasp-knife in her hand,
about nine inches in length, and would have stabbed
him in the breast but that her aim was fortunately
turned aside. The two men and women uttered the
most dreadful imprecations against him. There was
a crowd of about three hundred persons assembled
round his door, and the neighbourhood was thrown
into the greatest confusion. One of the men was
named Miles.
Mr. HENRY said he thought there must be some
cause for so extraordinary an assault, but he would
grant the warrant against Miles and the female.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.
SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 21.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Montrose, Capt. George
Wilson, arrived this morning at half-past six o'clock,
A.M., from the Peninsula. Her dates of departure are
as follow :—From Gibraltar Jan. 12, Cadiz 13th, Lis-
bon 15th (no communication with Oporto), and Vigo
17th. Ships of War lying at Gibraltar—Scout ;
none at the other ports. Vessels passed—ln the
Tagus on the 15th, the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer Queen. Off Portland, the 'Great
Liverpool. Specie on board-14 packages. Four
passengers.
From the intelligence brought by this packet, it
appears that the project of law for the abolition of the
foreign conservatorial courts was still under discus-
,,ion in the Chamber of Deputies. The privilege
now about to be abolished, is to the British residents
one of very great importance, inasmuch as it has
hitherto been their only protection against injustice
and oppression, and that the right of having mixed
juries in some, but not in all, criminal cases, is far
from being an adequate compensation for its loss.
The tobacco contract is likely to turn out a losing
speculation.

bound from London, with a detachment of Royal
Marines for the Island of Ascension, and stores for
her Majesty's ships of war at Rio Janeiro, has put

rather lower prices for the inferior descriptions. The
public sales havo consisted cruelly of 349 bags Mauri-
tius, 4,445 bags and 143 chests Bengal, nearly all of
which found buyers, but in most instances at a
further decline of fully 6d to Is; the greater part
of the Bengal consisted of low and inferior quality, unit
being mostly in small lots; affords little guide to the
market generally. The quantity of British Plantation
landed last week at the East and West India Decks was
1,498 hhds, 17 tierces, 71 barrels; and there were taken
for home consumption 1,097 hhds, 96 tierces; 168 barrels..

sentatives, in its sitting to•day, continued the discus-
sion of the project of law on the new method of
sanctioning, promulgating, and publishing the laws.l
Articles 2 to 6 were adopted; the other articles will
be discussed on Monday.
"We think it proper to mention an interesting inci-
dent in the last Secret Committee of the Chamber of
Representatives ; it was completely passed over in
silence in the different accounts given in the journals :
" The Minister of the Interior made, as we are
told, in this sitting, a very complete statement of all
the circumstances which preceded the public debate
ore the 19th article of the treaty of the Ist of Sep-
tember ; among other things, he said that he had a
a conversation on the subj-ct with two members of the
Opposition—M. Delfosse and M. Leiorrine—that he
had acquainted them with the doubts which that
article excited, of the means which he reckoned
upon to remove them, and of the necessity which
he felt of having a secret committee, in which he
would acquaint the whole Chamber with the state of
the case. The object of the Minister in making this
statement was to demonstrate that he had never for a
moment thought of making a mystery to the Chamber
of the state of affairs.
"M. Delfosse, we are told, spoke after the Minister.
That Hon. Member said that he might have many
reasons to complain of the Minister of the Interior ;
but that, in the matter in question, he should never
accuse him of disingenuousness or had intentions, and
that, at the most, there might have been some want
of consideration. M. Delfosse expressed himself in
such terms that the Minister was induced to rise, and
to say to the Deputy for Liege, with much emotion,
I thank you.'
" We mention this incident from respect to the truth,
and because-it tends to present the result of the dis-
cussion in a very different point of view from that in
which it appears in some accounts before published."—

- ALARMING FlRE—This morning about half-past
five; a fire, at first of An alartaingcharacter, was dis- '
covered by one of the constables of the F division of
police, raging in the workshops at the back of Mr.
Mver's musical instrument warehouse, situate 63, Char-
lotte-street, Fitzroy square. The constable alarmed the
inmates, and as soon as they opened the passage doors
the flames from the workshops rushed ,by the back
windows into the first floor. The Wells-street,
Crown-street, Soho, King-street, Regent-street, and
the Baker-street fire brigade engines were soon on
the spot and arrested the flames just as their progress
was extending to the second floor. The injury done
therefore is confined to the destruction of the workshops
and their contents, and to very great ilanittue done to the
furniture on the first floor. The farther mischief by
eater, and removal is tritlin except what happened
from that joint cause to the valuable effects of Mr. Jack-
mm, silversmith and jeweller, residing at No. 62, moat

door.
DARING BURGLARY AND CAPTURE OF THE BUR.
GLARS.—Ort Fliday hrt, near midnight, a inoet
during burglary is as effected at the French Horn,
public-house, Gererd's- cruse, near Beaconsfield, in the
ocoupation of Mr. George Yowell. It appears that the
thieves obtained an entrance into the front of the her,
immediately underneath. the window, by removing a
sufficient quantity of the brick work, to admit the body of
a man. Having thus effeeted adinieSion into the pre-
mises, they proceeded to the larder, where, it appears,
they regalee themselves most sumptuously, as most of
the cooked victuals were missing. They took also from
thence two flitches of bacon, a consideraele quantity of
cigars from boxes in the bar, and a quantity of liquor.
So plentifully did they imbibe the strong drink in the
landlord's barrels, that before they had made the requi-
site preparations for their departure they became some-
what noisy, by which proceeding they disturbed the
slumbers of the ostler, who watched their movements,
and followed them a little way down the lane. One of
:the party had one of the flitches of bacon upon his back,
another carried a flitch in his arms, and the third car-
ried the rest of the plunder. All of them being in a
state of intoxication, and the ostler having observed
them, on their road towards Fulmer, place their loads
behind some ricks of corn, and then lie themselves down
beside their plunder, he hastened to inform the consta-
bulary before daylight, when Mr. Larkin, the high con-
stable of Buckinghamshire, sergeant Roadnight, and
constable King, sallied forth to meet the marauders.
They came up with and captured them near to Long-
bridge ; and en Saturday they had a hearing before Sir
William Wiseman and Sir Thomas Dagrell, Esq., at the
Court-house, at. Uxbridge. The magistrates immediately
ordered that the three prisoners,whose names are Samuel
Tunnard, Robert Ball, and Robert Shoppee, should be at
once taken to Beaconsfield, where they were conveyed.

dends, 1021. 14s. sd. ; from which, after defraying the
current expenses, a balance of 2421.25. 2d. remained at

whole stock of the association 3,9971. 9s. Bd. The

and officers having been duly elected, thanks were
awarded to Thomas Baring, Esq., and J. A. Smith,
Esq., for their valuable aid and support, and also to J.
Alexander, Esq., for his liberal donation of IQOI.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Yes-
terday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, a man
of colour, named George Luntin, cook and steward of
the ship James Eastrie, Captain Bilbery, was going to
the bows of the ship hen his feet slipped and he fell
overboard and sunk. The vessel was shifted from her
moorings and drags were procured. In about fifteen
minutes the body was recovered and conveyed to the
bath-room of the dock, where there is as excellent ap-
paratus always hi readiness for the resuscitation of per-
sons apparently drowned. The body was instantly un-
inersed in a hot butb, and other means were used to
restore animation, which were persevered in for some
time, but unfortunately not with success. Dr. W. Bur-
man was in attendance while the apparatus was in ope-
ration, and nothing was left untried to restore the un-
fortunate deceased.
EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF TOBACGO.—It has just
been communicated to her Majesty's Commissioners of
Excise that a most extensive seizure of tobacco has been
made by Mr. Davison, Supervisor of Excise, near Ski g-
ness, Lincolnshire, on its transit to Horncastle. It had
been landed from contraband trading vessels that fre-
quent that coast, and placed in carriers carts, in pack.
ages, representing various articles of merchandise and
furniture. So well arranged were the plans of the
officers that they succeeded in capturing the whole of the
booty, amounting in all to nearly three tons in weight,
with the horses and carts used in conveying it to its des.
tination. It is scarcely necessary to add that no person
has come forward to claim the property, which will be
disposed of by her Majesty's Commissioners at their
usual sales.
