The chronicle has a leading article on the subject of
Dr. Gilbert's appointment to the Bishopric of Chiches-
ter, wherein our Contemporary observes that this ap-
pointment is a distinct declaration of the hostility of the'
present Ministry -to the doctrines of the Puseyites—a
most intelligent advertisement to the world, that while
Sir Robert Peel is in power, Puseyism. will not be the
road to preferment, in the Church. The Chronicle adds,
that this will settle the question of Puseyism.
The Times praises Sir Robert Peel for his appoint-
ment of Mr. Cresswell to the vacant Judgeship, 0b..--
serving, " a new election must, of course, take place fur
Liverpool, and although the existence of the Ministry
would. not be at all affected by the loss of the seat, yet
a severe moral blow would be inflicted on Conservatism,
were the Liberal party successful in returning their can-
didate. Sir R. Peel, therefore runs a risk in enabling
the Whig party again to contest the representation of
the town ; but this does not for a single instant influ-
ence his Government in the selection of a person whom
they consider in every way Competent to administer the
laws of the land."
The Advertiser remarks, in an article on the subject of
our commercial restrictions :—" Let the cry of industry
be not for short time, but for plentiful food—not for mo-
nopoly, but for freedom of trade—not for restrictive laws,
but for fair competition.. Artificial regulations are com-
plicated and injurious. Our national level will speedily
and certainly be attained by the withdrawal of the un-
righteous interference of legislation. What that level
will be, it needs but little consideration W determine."
The Post, alluding to the efforts of the Puseyites to
strengthen the discipline of the Church; says i—" At
the very time when it is quite evident that the greatest
exertions of the Church are necessary; when an extra..
ordinary spirit of mental activity is abroad, which must
produce immense results for good or for evil, according
as it Is guided by a devotional and reverential spirit or
the contrary, the religious world would bztiiiNli from the
field of labour -those who 'are- willing to devote great
learning and great talents, and to sacrifice anything or
everything, for the good cause of the Christian Church."
The Igrald comments on the Times' recent support
of Puseyism, as a proof of' its tergiversation and ob-
serves, " there are not in the whole range Of modern
periodicals any lectures in which the doctrine of sacri-
cin, principles to expediency; and the justification of
means by•theit proposed ends; can be studied whit greater
effect than in the pages of the Tracts and the broad
sheet of the Times. The political tergiversations of the
Journalist are, so to speak; kept in countenance by the
religious baokslidings of the irraetarians,"

Several ancient tombs have just been discovered at
Malta, containing urns, lachryinatories, and sepulchral
lamps. In one of them; near Civita Vecchia, a quantity
of pulverised dust %vas found, and among it the strange
relic of a whale, nearly seven feet in length, with frag-
ments of other bones. To find a monster of this species
in the centre of an island in the Mediterranean sea-
waters, where the livingoyhale was never found, is ac-,.
counted very extraordinary by the Maltese geologists. j

We may well say-with a French Journalist that the
question of the census appears fated to raise storms. Of
the tempests produced by it in the provinces our file for
the last year contains a painful and disastrous record.
It excited in the French: Chamber of Deputies, on Wed-
nesday a hurricane hardly less disastrous than agitated
so long the quiet city of Toulouse. When the article in
the Address relating to it was under discussion, the
Minister of the Interior boasted of the comparative po-
pularity of the measure. Another Deputy rose to cor-
rect him, confusion ensued, and the President putting on
his hat rushed out of the Chamber. We will here quote
the observations of a few of Thursday's journals relative
to this affair:—
The Courrier Francais says :—" Amongst the most
dramatic, if not the most important, incidents of the
sitting on Wednesday, was the circumstance which in-
terrupted the studied speech of the Minister of .the In-
terior. M. Duchatel boasted of having obtained the con-
sent, or rather the silence, of 37,000 municipal councils
to the operations of the census, when M. Dussolier de-
manded to speak in order to controvert the Minister's
assertions. The President and the Chamber had a right
to object to this interruption, but
_after having authorised
this digression, the matter ought to have been suffered to
take its course. The trial was too severe for the i:npar-
, tiality of the Centres, and for the firmness of M. Sauzet.
They permitted 1 I. Dussolier to state, that when it was
• falsely reported that the municipal council of Neutron had
agreed to the form of taking the census, the Minister of
the Interior presented-500f. to the charitable fund .4* the
town. but when:the Hon. Deputy wished to add that the
fact having been contradicted, the gift was withdrawn,
the cries of the Ministerial Deputies drowned his voice.
We shall not attempt to describe the scene which en-
sued.. M. Dussolier scaling the tribune to Maintain his
right—the President called upon by the C entres, and
calling the orator to order—the. Opposition alone pre-
serving a calm and dignified demeanour, in the midst of
the awful confusionwhich prevailed—the Deputies, in
fine, quitting their places, and thus compelling AI. Sauzet
to adjourn a debate which he was incompetent to direct.
The President's incapacity was never exhibited in a more
prominent manner, and.- the Ministers had reason, to re-.
gret the concession they made to. their equivocal friends
of the left.centre, by adopting such a.candidate."
• The Pressc after regreting the affair remarks :—" In
order to do all parties justice, we must observe that
we have alieady accused M. Sauzet of being deficient
in the most essential qualities of a President, and it
would appear that he was determined to give, the
most extraordinary proof of the justice of our
observation. His conduct during the disturbance in the
Chamber was beneath description. Never was any Pres
sident so deficient in energy. M. Sauzet exercises no
influence over the •ussenibly It was solely his fault that
the public time was totally lost on Wednesday, and in
this assertion we shall be borne out by the testimony of
every member who was present."
The Univert observes that the question of the census
is decidedly-fatal to good order. It excited a Parlia-
mentary disturbance in the Chamber of Deputies on
Wednesday, as it excited popular riots throughout the
country. The debate was proceeding heavily, and ap-
peared about to close, when a scene took place in the
Chamber nearly as scandalous as that which occurred
last year during the debate on the address. A Member
of the Opposition M. Dussolier,_ having endeavoured to
keep possession of the tribune against the President's
-declaration that he was out of - order, M. Sauzet was at
length obliged to put on his
.hat and adjourn the debate.
The Moniteur Parisien' states; that out of 223 National
Guards composing the company of which M. Dupoty,
the editor of the Jaurnal du Penplr, was an officer, 85
only preeuted themselves to elect an officer in his room.
Of. these 53 voted for M. Dupoty. " The Mayor could
not proclaim the validity of this election," continues the
lirloniteur Parisien, "for the • very best reason, M.
Dupoty having incurred the less of civil rights by the
sentence of the Court of Peers, he was no longer entitled
to serve in the National Guard as an officer; or even as
a private." It must gall 'the King excessively to find, on
the part of his darling National Guards, such an open
contempt for the assumed prerogatives of the Court of
Peers.
