as anything but a compliment; and perhaps no.
thing annoyed them more during the reign of
ELIZABETH and JAMES 1., than an allusion by
the Jesuits to the famous " Nag's Head Conse-
cration," at which the lilvilers of the early Re-
formers reported that they consecrated Bishops
by the imposition of the hands of a Pre-
late while in a state of intoxication. A ribald
Papist poetaster, who assumed the name of
WARD, wrote a doggre4 history of the progress
of the Reformation in England, in which he
makes Queen ELIZABETH consecrate Archbishop
WHITOIFT by the imposition of her MAJESTY'S
fair hands :

She ba,llo him kneel, and having spread
All her ten digits en his head :
Take thou. authority to preach
" God.'s word sincerely, and to teach
"Or force my people to become
" In faith and worship uniform.
" To bind and loose take thou the keys,
" And rule thy flock with awful ways."
This said, she bade the Bishop's grace
To Canterbury haste his pace.

Mr. WACKERBA RTH'S blunder, therefore, about
the concubinage of the clergy of the Church of
England proves him to have been but a very
shallow theologian, even while dandled on the
knees of Dr. PUSEY. From what we learn of
him from his pamphlets, we think the Church of
England well rid of him. But we suspect that,
before all is done, Rome willhave as little cause
to boast of him as she had of the famous CHIL-
LINGWORTIL He has made his first, but we
by no Means think his last, recantation. Be that,
howeVer, as it may, he has unmasked Puseyism;
so that honest Protestants will henceforth know
what to think of a system which is preying upon
the very vitals of our Universities.

In speaking of the " Deputation of the Short-
time Committee," on the 12th instant, we said;
" it is certain that The Deputation was indeed a
fraud." Since that date our statement has been
amply confirmed. On Tuesday a public meeting
was held at the Music-hall, Leeds, to hear the
report of the Deputation, when Mr..llonsox, the
chairman of the ineetingotated` that " on the
10th of October the Short-time Committee re-
ceived a communication from their friends in
London, engaged in watching over, and promot-
ing, the interest of the factory workers, recom-
mending that deputations of the Short-time Com-
mittee should be appointed to proceed to Lori-
don, and there seek interviews with Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL," &c. The Leeds Committee,' on
the 13th of October, took this recommen-
dation into consideration, and thereupon " him-
self and Mr. FLEMING were appointed
as the Deputation from Leeds." The origin of the
Deputation, then, was London, and some irlcitru-
rnents at Leeds of the agitators in Lo,,idon' de-
spatched Mr. HOBSON. and Mr. FL:dMING as the
representatives of the operaties of Yorkshire.
They were not sent, as was admitted at the meet-
ing, by the operatives of, -Leeds or any other town,
publicly assembled , although, after the flourishing
got published in the Times,
reports which t,' iey
they obtair..ed, by the help of a little trick,
the sanction of the Meeting held last Tues-
day. But the origin of the Deputation, and
-Cue character under which they were pre-
sented to the Ministers, clearly convicts the
whole scheme of fraud. such also is the
expressed opinion of the Leeds papers on the
subject. The Leeds Times designates it " The
Short-time Hoax," and says—
A very neatly-contrived cheat has been recently got
up for the entertainment of the public, by the self-con-
stituted " Deputation of the Short-time Committee of
the West-Riding of Yorkshire." Five gentlemen, bur-
dened with self-importance, journey up to London (at
whose expense nobody knows), and, heralded by the
above high-sounding title, they obtain interviews with
the principal members of the new Tory Administration
—whom they lecture, exhort, and counsel on the sub-
ject of machinery, home colonization, and Ten Hours'
Bill, with all the gravity of prophets sent to warn the
man who " has a heart," of the impending fate of this
devoted country.
There is a gross and palpable fraud on the face of the
whole thing. It is obviously got up to serve a purpose— ,
to bolster up a party whom the great mass of the people
diirust and despise ; to excite odium against the maim-
facturing and the trading classes ; to raise hopes on the
part of many which are never to be satisfied ; and, not
improbably, to draw off the working classes from a move-
ment to which they are deeply and devotedly attached.
The Leeds Mercury says of it—
A ridiculous effort is makingby the Tories and Tory-
Chartists to get up a diversion from the Anti-Corn-law
agitation, for the benefit of the Tory Ministry and the
landed aristocracy. The question they are attempting to
set up for this purpose is a resurrection-of the Ten Hours'
Factory Bill! To show how consummately absurd is
this cry at the present moment, we only need remind our
readers, and especially the suffering workmen, that the
Corn-law has for the last three years been much better—
or worse, as they or their families may deem it—than a
Ten Hours' Bill for them. To most of them it has been,
and now is, an Eight Hours' Bill ! To many it has been
aNo Hours' Bill ! There is no prospect, we fear, of the
mills being run more than ten hours for some time to
come. So that the resurrection of the Ten Hours' agita-
tion at this time of day is really too gross a fetch to gull
any but those who wish to be gulled, that is, Tories, or
that section of Chartists who have on all occasions sup-
ported the Tories.

However, as there is a prodigious demand in Down-
ing-street for some question to act as a counter-irritant,
and, as supply always arises equal to the demand, under
whatsoever difficulties, so now a self-elected coterie,
partly residing in Yorkshire, and partly in London, call-
ing themselves the Short-time Committee, and consist-
ing of Tory-Chartists and Socialists, prompted by the
old high Tory agitator of the Fleet Prison, Oastler, have
put forward a demand for aTi Hours' Bill, on behalf
of pun persons "between thirteen and twenty-one years
e..;c age !

At the meeting on Tuesday Mr. JONES, an
operative, said—

Let Mr. Fleming look at Paisley, where men could
not get work at all, and then say if this was the time for
a Ten Hours' Bill agitation. They wanted ten hours'
work if they could get it; but they could not get five, or
six, or seven hours' work. He would tell them what he
thought, and he believed he should express the opinions
of hundreds in that meeting, as to the publication of this
report just before the meeting of Parliament. Mr. Flem-
ing said that the Tory papers praised the report; ought
not that to make them look with suspicion on the plan?
—(Loud cheers.) It was brought forward just before the
meeting of Parliament to smother—what? His firm be-
lief was, that it was brought forward to smother the Peo-
ple's Charter.—(Cries of " True," and loud cheers.)
We need add nothing to these extracts ; they
fully establish the true character of the Deputation.
The Times may now see the propriety of ex-
plaining to the public, whom it has been instru-
mental in deceiving, how it came into possession
of the manufactured Report, and why it described
these few self-appointed gentlemen as the repre-
sentatives of the working people of the mane.

That repo'''t, described the resolution for thank-
ing till:, Short-time Committee as having been
cr.rried by a vast majority, and it implied that an
amendment, moved by a Mr. BROOKES, in favour
of the Charter, had been rejected; when the
factsare, that Mr. BROOKES' amendment was in-
corporated with the motion of thanks,—that the
great majority of the meeting was in favour of !
the Charter,—and that the mover of the vote of 1
thatliks to the Deputation was glad to acknow-
ledge the Charter as a means of carrying his motion. Either our London Contemporary has been most egregiously imposed on, or it has
wilfully misrepresented the course of proceed-
hip at the meeting at Leeds on Tuesday, to pro-
duce au impression on the public—as the Leeds
Times says—that the working men of Leeds have
unceremoniously thrown the Charter overboard,
in order to engage in this Ten Hours' B
agitation.

Tha melancholy termination of the expedi-
tion to the Niger, conceived in the most phi-
lanthropic spirit, fostered by men of the highest
reputation for piety and worth, sanctioned by
the foremost statesmen of both parties, and
promoted with all the zeal and art possible, is
sufficient, we think, to make the gentlemen who
projected it somewhat mistrustful of their own
" deceitful hearts." They have, too, according
to Sir Fowgu. BUXTON'S Own statements,
aggravated the horrors and increased the
amount of the slave-trade, by the means
they have recommended to suppress it. We
are compelled by such circumstances to mis-
trust their policy. At this moment it is involv-
ing us in serious contentions with the United

States, which may end in war. In the Conste-
tutionnel, also, of the 21st instant, the case of a
French vessel called the Marabout, which was
captured by the Rose, Captain Christie', and car-
ried into Cayenne, is the subject of some impas--
sioned remarks. We will admit, though the
French journal strenuously derilbs it, that the
Marabout is justly captured; and, admitting it,
we ask is the cause of humanity likely to be
served by provoking serious contentions
between the French and the English? Will it
be served by alienating that people from
us? Will it be served by provoking a war.with
America? When we see these possible, or even
probable, consequences of the zeal for the sup-
pression of the slave trade, we begin to fear that,
as in the case of the Niger Expedition, zeal is
leading us astray. We ought to rest satisfied,
possibly, with abstaining from the horrid traffic
ourselves, without proceeding a step further,
make other nations

That most sprightly and most fascinating of
Royal widowers and wooers, the youthful En-
NEST of Hano'ver, who so very recently entombed
none of the least • fragile of help-mates, is re-
ported in the French papers to have signified his
intention of re-investing himself with the silken
bands of Hymen. The fair damsel whose charms
have made a conquest of the susceptible heart of
the " m eek -eyed" Monarch of Hanover, is PrinceEs
CAROLINE of the illustrious house of Hesse-Cas-
sel; -who, if the Royal almanacks speak
.true, gra-
ciously deigned to be born on the 23d of April,
1786. The Rival bride-elect is not, therefore,
what houseWii'es would call quite a pullet, albeit
sufficiently- tender at -fifty-six for the embraces
of an amorous. swain, who first saw the light on
the oth of June, 1771. Upon such nuptials we
leave the Royal Court chaplains to invoke a
benediction. • Its sanctification will be one of
Heaven's greatest miracles.

The French Journals of Saturday and Sunday
have been duly received. There was a smart
debate in the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday,
on the right of search question, which arose out
ofthc followingamendment, upon the fourth para-
graph ofthe address, proposed by M. BILLAULT
The prudence of the Government ensures to us also
that in the arrangements relative to the suppression of
a guilty traffic, your Government will carefully , shelter
from every attack the legitimate interests of our mari-
time commerce, and the complete independence of our flag.
The Hon. Deputy stated that this amendment
referred to the right of search claimed by Bri-
tish ambition,• and in his opinion needlessly and
foolishly guaranteed by a late Treaty. It was,
he said, a fatal blow to French commerce, to
the French navy, and to the national dignity of
France. He was for putting down the Slave-
trade, but certainly not at the expense of the
flag of France. He proceeded to praise the
firmness of the United States Government,.
which he maintained would find imitators
were England to presume to treat the French
flag as she did that of Spain. M. GUIZOT
defended .the right of mutual search, in-
asmuch as the Slave-trade b eing piracy, there
.was no other way to put it down. M. DUPIN
said that no person in the Chamber was an advo-
cate fbr the SlaVe-trade, but France could not,
and would not submit to aright of search which it
was clear would be enforced by England, with a
view to promote her own interests. The discus-
sion, on the motion of M. BOWYER, the Royalist
Deputy, was adjourned over till Monday.
The French journal La Mode was seized at the
post-office on Saturday.
Everybody in Paris is trying to guess what
keeps M. LAMARTINE so long silent. Last year
he gave the Chamber no peace on the address
abont the Eastern question. This year he leaves
whoever pleases to look after , the Holy Land.
How is this? Even the outcry about the ap-
pointment of a Protestant Bishop to the See of
Jerusalem does not disturb the m'arvellaus re-
pose of the modern Bard of Sion. M. LAMAR-
TINE has been at the Tuileries once or twice this
season, and marvellous, indeed, is the oblivious
potency of the wines imbibed at the Royal table.
We read in the report of Captain Grenot, of the Guati-
mozin, which has arrived in the river of Bordeaux from
Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, from which place he
sailed on the 4th November, the following particulars:—
" I left those unhappy countries more engaged in war
than ever. A few days before I left Buenos Ayres the
troops of Rosas, commanded by Oribes, had routed those
of the provinces commanded by Lamarid. The Dictator
was preparing to send his army into the territory of the
Oriental Republic, in order to besiege Monte Video, and•
to reinstate his friend Oribes in the post of President.
There is every reason to believe that Monte Video is ac-
tually besieged by the Argentine army, for the French
would not now take arms to assist the city.
" Each of the two Republics has just added another
ship to its squadron, thus their relative force remains the
same as before."

The Tribunal of Riom has condemned the editor of
the Gazelle Auvergne to' a month's imprisonment, and a
fine of 2,000 francs, for giving an unfaithful report of
one of the sittings of the Tribunal. In the first instance
the condemnation was restricted to 2,000 francs fine.
The Court deciding against the appeal of the editor, and
on that of the public prosecutor, a minima added to the
original sentence, a month's imprisonment.—Commerce.

In the course of Vritlay's discussion, after the Address
in the French Chamber of Deputies, M. Guizot denied
that the French Cabinet had made any engagement, or
would enter into airy pledge to disarm. It would act in
that respect according to the position of France and her
necessities. The Minister of Marine declared that there
had been no reduction of the French naval forces.
The right of search question was under discussion in
the French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. It was
denouneed by M. Billault, defended on the principle of
reciprocity by M. G uizot, opposed by M. Dupin and
carped at by M. Thiers. The debate was finally adjourned
till Monday. Enough, however, has transpired to con-
vince us that the right of search treaty as regards France
is not worth the parchment upon which it is engrossed.
The responsible editor and printer of the Journal du
Bourbonnais, a legitimist journal of Moulins, were a few
days ago, brought before the Court of Assizes of the Al-
lier, for a libel against the Xing, published on the Bth in
a critique on an exhibition of paintings, in which was a
portrait of his Majesty in full length, presented by him
to the town of Moulins. The editor was found guilty by
the Jury, and, sentenced to six months' imprisonment,
and a fine of 4,000 f. The printer was acquitted.
The. Moniteur contains a long report, occupying up-
„wards of twelve columns, from the Minister of the Inte-
rior to the King, recommending to his Majesty's notice
persons who have distinguished themselves by acts of
humanity and courage during the past year. To four
of these persons gold medals are awarded by his Ma-
jesty, on the.report of the Minister, and silver medals
to all the rest.
The Commerce publishes a letter from Vienna, dated
the 16th instant, mentionin,g that some alarmists had
appeared at the Bourse of that city, and had succeeded
in putting a stop to all business. They asserted that
the Greek Government had assembled a corps of 30,000
men on the i'rentiers of Thessaly, and even added that
hostilities had commenced.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 18th instant publishes a
letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult., stating that
Baron de Bourquency had a long conference with lzzet
Mehemet Paeha, relative to the establishment of the
new Protestant Bishop at Jerusalem. The Ambassador,
it is said, complained that the King had not been con-
sulted. The Grand Vizier is reported' to have replied
in. the most flattering terms to 31. de Bourquency.
The following paragraph occurs in a letter from Paris,
written on Saturday last :—" Some very amusing anecdotes
are recorded of M. de Salvandy's sayings and doings in
Madrid, as well as his conversations since his return. The
learned academician was certainly a most unfortunate
choice to send to Spain. I guarantee to you the perfect
accuracy of the following language uttered by the French
Ambassador since his presence in Paris I have, at
all events,' said M. de Salvandy, ' succeeded in uniting
the two Royalist parties in Spain (Moderados and Car-
lists), and I have destroyed revolution in that country.'
These words I am as certain that M. de Salvandy uttered
as if I had heard them. There requires a key to this
strange declaration ,which it is not necesssayfor me to give."
A Madrid letter of the 15th says that the Spanish Go-
vernment has formally applied for the recal of Mr. Turn-
bull, the British Consul at Cuba;
Letters from Alexandria state that the Viceroy has
ordered the Turkish uniform to be worn by all his troops.
The Viceroy is alto engaged in introducing new coinage
into,circulation, and in cultivating in other ways his own
immediate interest. Baron Billing, the newly-appointed
French Consul-General, has arrived at Alexandria.
PUISLXO OPINION.
The Times has an article on the discussion on the
Address in the French Chamber of Deputies, in the
course of which, alluding cursorily to the occupation of
Algiers, it observes, " in the event of a war we firmly
believe that the possession of Algiers would be found
to be the most onerous iecumbranee to France which
can possibly be imagined ; and unless the communica-
tions with the mother-country can be kept up, which of
course demands that France should be the undisputed
mistress, not only of the Balserie Isles, but of the Me-
diterranean Sea, we can perceive no other result to all
her efforts but a capitulation as inglorious as that of the
army of Egypt, cut off by the English fleet."
The Post remarks, in an article filled with hyper-
bolical praises.of Sir Robert Peel, that the people be-
lieve hills to be indepeudent ; and that he will take a
reasonable coarse, according to the evidence brought be-
fore him; and that his juagrnent, even should it differ
from their own, is ,likely to be a sound and a fair one.
The Post then goes on to condemn the late Govern-
ment for its manifold inconsistenoies.
The Advertiser complains that, though we are within
ten days of the meeting of Parliament, the public are
still in utter darkness respecting the plans of Sir Robert
Peel, and adds, " for our own part, we begin to doubt
whether the Right Hon. Baronet knows his own plans ;
we begin, in fact, to doubt whether lie has any plans at
all. To promise great things, as he did at Tamworth,
and do nothing, is one of the characteristics of all Quacks,
whether in ordinary life, or in affairs of State."
The Herald, in -au article aug,t.tecl by the policy of
France under M. Guizot and Marshal Soult, observes
that the power which France seeks is the power to be
mischievous, and that she waits for the events of futurity
to take advantage of them. "Henceforward," says our
Contemporary, " there is no party in France attached on
any principle, save that of contemporaneous necessity, to
the existing European settlement henceforward France
has no intimate alliances,_ no firm friendships ; thetreaty
of July has increased her egotism, and confirmed her
selfishness."
Alluding to the Spanish question, the Chronicle states
that Louis Philippe sees, as every body else does, that
the Regency of Espartero would be greatly strengthened'
if Ministers from the three northern Powers were to come
to Madrid, " and therefore will that crafty monarch pre-
vent them from coming. How can either Austria, or
Russia, or Prussia," the Chronicle proceeds to ask, "be
less monarchical than Louis Philippe—the King of the
Barricades ?"
