( Cheers aud laughter !) The speaker , returning io the episcopal ioslUntion , showed , by a variety of proofs and instances taken from the first four centuries , that throughout Christendom the system of domestic nomination formed the rule—a reference to Rome the rare and
remote exception ; that the metropolitan ' s recognition was the ouly confirmation sought for or dreamt of in the various national churches of Europe ; metropolitans themselves were iu&tiiuted by the patriarch of the east , to whom a letter is extant from ihe patriarch of the west , allusive , to the acknowledged exercise sf that right " , as ' an inherent and independent prerogative . " Bene ' dict XI . was the first who dated to question the free constitution of the oriental churches . Clement V . Claimed the right of nominating the bishops in ihe vicinity of Rome . Jobn XXII . followed up this firei attempt on the episcopacy , by taking advantages of the disturbances of Italv . ' and put forth ,
from Avignon , a jsimilar claim " to nominate the Msaop of Aquilea . ' Ravecna , Milan , and Pisa , hitherto electrd by thft respective chapters and clem of these diocesan districts : John XX 5 IL , in an edict still on record , avails' himself of the continned troubles to i . rolonrfbe exercise of a power , the illegality of which lie S ' eo conscious of , that he iimirs it tohis own life , pledging ; his successor to : ts restoration . " But the next comer kept the illgotten advantage , and as the plunder of capitular rights had come into fashion , kings and feudal lords took their share in the general scramble ; an iniquity which' in ins long run corroborated the usurped powfr of the first plunderer ; as the clercy 2 nd people fled from peJty tyrants to the Papal throneand
, voluntarily surrendered their immemorial franchises to the Pope as a lesser evil than the monstrous intrusion of feudal patronage and kingly interference . Thenamss the We and scandalous " ttansaitiun called concordat * , by which a bargain was made between the bishop of Rome and the local sovereigns , for a division of We spoil of which neither had legitimate masterdom , and thus the independence of European churches was bartered away . The first of these nefarious negotiations was that between Nicholas V-and Frederic III ., to whom : s exchange for temporal assistance the Pope coolly aiaiie over the rights of every diocesan chapter in broad Germany . Tlie disposal of advowsons by wholesal e was exhibited on the very eve of the Kefouna ' . ion , when Leo X . for a consideration mzfc

LABOUR IN THE UNITED STATES ' We extract the following interesting article from the New York Tribune of the 11 th ult : — . ' -: : - ¦ ¦ ¦ . . The Journeymen frintert and the " Journal of Commerce . " . - - An earnest effort is now being made by tbe great mass of the journeymen printers of . thiS-cHy to ptace their calling on k b » sfe « f justice and security . They do not ; ask nor expect high wage ' s ¦• on the contrary , their average recompense per hour ; at the rates prescribed m their scale , is less than that of hatters , shipwrights , blacksmiths , or almost any other traderequinng intelligence andtsanacitv
commensurate with theirs .- They dondf claim th > n ^ htof themselves to establish arid ' regulate " the prices even of their own labour ; for they be « an by invuin « the employers as a class to confer and liiiite with them in a freo and friendly council , wherein the rates of-compensation for all descriptions of journey work at printing should be establiBhed by mutual aud general consent . Such a scale , once adopted , would of course have been binding on both parties until changed 'by " mutualconsent A good portion of the employers responded to tho invitation , by holding one or two meetings , but concluded by simply reje ' etihg ( 19 to 14 ) the scaleproposed by the : jourueymen , arid adjourning without day . They suggested no . ' modification , prtposed no substitute : they give - the journeymen no ultimatum , no chance to understand what portions or provisions of their scale were deemed inadmissible , and what modifications would render it acceptable . Theonlalternative
. y practically " offered to the journeymen was this : — " Submit to work at as many different rates , and under as many different sets of regalations , as the several hundred different employers in the city may see fit to establish' ana " to chiinee at' their omr good will and pleasure , or help yourselves . " Thna repelled , - the journeymen have waited , deliberated , reasoned , expostulated , and finally . glvine ample notice of their resolve , fixed the 1 st ult as the day on and after which' their ; scnleshould be the . common measure of their duties , their rights , and their recompense , while working as journeymen printers within this city : Most of the employers bave acceded to their scale ; and the great mass of the work in our city is now executed and paid for m accordance therewith . The daily journals have nearly all acceded to it , promptly aud cheerfully . Tlie . Jounial of Commerce is a conspicuous and nataral exception . " ' ' ' -
The Journal is not content / with rejecting the scale , and refusing to employ any journeymen who respect it- ^ that paper engages in a bitter and disinr genuous warfare on those who framed and support if Itstigriiat ! SestteTWnlers ' Union : as ' . a , ' selfconstituted tribunal , " when ' in fact that union was expressly " authorised and ins ' tructed to frame a scale of prices _ Ky a regularly : called and fully atteiided meeting of' thYwliole / . body of journeymen printers , seven or eioht months ago . : It speaks of the scale as an' " edict" ' of said , " self-constituted tribunal , " utterly concealing the facts . that the Printers' Union' embrac . es employers as well' as journeymen , and that the employers as a class have been invited , entreated , and patiently waited for to unite in forming a scale which ! would be satisfaa ' tory to and binding upoh . all . 'It'drags in certain regulations of the-printers ' , scale of-a distant city in of
order to excite ' prrj ^ dice against those this . city , which contain no Such previsions . It talks loudly of " liberty . " , and " dictation ; " ' . but seems to have no idea of any right on the . pa ^ t . of journeymen niechanicsto frame general , regulations as to the hours of their own labour and the ! rates , ' of its compensation .. Carefully avoiding any clear , statement of the principles involved in this contest , the Journal virtually maintains a ' creed which would make of every printing-office ^ a despotism , every employer an autocrat , every journeyman a slave , with tbe single exception that he might runaway without dread of arrest andretum under the Fugitive Slave law . So long as he . remains in any office , he must wotk for ' such ' prices , during such hoiir 3 and under such regulations in every respect as the employer may ' see fit to' dictate , ' subject to any changes which that employer's caprice or cupidity may dictate ; ' . ' ' . ' " ., ' . '
Xow , without presuming that the journeymeiis ' scale is in all respects perfect , and deeply regretting that the employers as a class have not seen fit to participate in 'forming a scale which should be theirs also , we yet repel the jrinciples on which the •/ burjiarproceeils ' and the course to which they ' bate impelled its conductors . There should be a regular scale of _ priee 3 arid code' of regulations in each trade , binding alike on employers and journeymen , and conclusive in all ca ? e . 3 of difierence' likely to arise between them as to tUeir reciprocal duties and rights . There ought not to be oae rate of wages in the Tribune office and another : in the Journal s for doing precisel y equivalent There should be no chaffering and hi ggling between employer and journeymen as to the rate of payment on a definite
amount and kind of work ; there should be ho power in employers nor journeymen to change the rate of compensation , once established , to suit tlieir interest or pleasure . In sli ' ort , the relation ' employers and journeymen should , whenever it is possible , be placed on abatis of order , harmony , and system , instead of anarchy , antagonism aud tliiios . And herein is 'exhibited what the journeymen are striving to effect and the Journal to defeat . The triumph of the Journal in its present course " would be a degradation and enslavement of labour , not in our trade only but in all . IIow any printer , with a man ' s soul in his body , and not over nineteen , children crying to him for bread , can hold a situation on the Journal under existing circumstances passes our apprehension .

It appeared that they bad resided at Turvey , in Bedfordshire , and afterwards at Kettering , inNprtliamptonshirp , to which latter place the husband traced them .
