Tur battle of the lawyers over the carcase of the Royal British Bank is going on with an energy and spirit worthy of so good, or—which is the same thing both in law and equity—of so lucrative a cause. The contending powers of Chancery and Bankruptcy are fairly pitted against each other in hostile array. Vice-Chancellor lINDIIISLZY has just granted an injunction to restrain the official assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy from in any way inter fering with the official manager of the Court of Chancery, and ham, moreover, made an order against the former functionary to show cause why he should not be committed for contempt on the groom. f having disturbed the latter in his possession. Can anything be more discreditable than this conflict of jurisdictions, except, indeed, the state of the law which renders it possible? It is really too absurd, and had it not occurred in fact, would have simply been pronounced incredible. Two distinct Courts, under two distinct Acts of the Legislature, claim the right of administering the affairs of this defunct institution. The Court of Bankruptcy can only deal with the existing asset', the Court of Chancery, under the Windinrup Acts, can deal not only with the existing assets, but with all outstanding liabilities; it can declare who are to be contributories, and is empowered to make calls- This, it is conceded, is beyond the power of the Court of Bankruptcy; bet then it has been suggested that there is nothing to prevent the two courts from acting concurrently; Bankruptcy dealing with the existing assets, Chancery with the future liabilities. It is possible that there may be nothing in the way of actual legislative prohibition to prevent this, but that shareholder or depositor most have been indeed of sanguine temperament who ever expected that such concurrent action would be allowed to take place. All doubt as to this point, however, mast now be set at rest by the step just taken by the Vice-Chancellor. In a word, it is ahuodantly clear that the two distinct judicial organisations are being patronised with dis tinct view' by those who in this ruinous affair have a community of suffering, and, if let alone by the lawyers, would probably have found that they had a community of interests. The lawyers have advised them otherwise, and the depositors are now eager to work the machinery of the Baskroptcy Court, in order to obtain as speedily as by any legal process they can a division of the actually existing assets, while the shareholders are only too willing to avail themselves of that delay and uncertainty which the procedure of the Winding. up Court, if resorted to in a spirit of litigation, un doubtedly interposes between creditors and their claims. Let them, however, beware of too implicit a reliance on the protection thus held out. It is well that they should know that the absurdity of a conflict. log jurisdiction between Bankruptcy and Chancey does not exhaust all the possible anomalies which the wisdom of the English law has provided to meet their particular case. In case of any delay in brioging the machinery of the Winding-up Courts to bear oo the matter, a third jurisdiction may interpose, as it has done in the NM o 1 the Tipperary Bank, and a harming fired actions at Common Law complete the ruin which the Winding-up often have commenced and the Court of Bankruptcy has endued. It is not so much with a view to the pardsoler sufferers in this particular ease that we are Wald to draw attention to this indefensible state of u portant branch of oar mercantile law. The taus both of the shareholders and depositors in the Royal British Bank are far beyond the Mei of any advice that we could tender them; they have naturally enough taken counsel of those learned in the law, and, the law being what it is, we are far from saying that the mune) given may not have been as disiaterested and Jodi aims as it was reasonable to caret. Bat we would endeavour earnestly to impress upon the mercantile community the flagrant discredit, the nroustrose in. convenience, of allowing the longer ocatinsance of each a state of the law. Chancery, Bankruptcy, Common Law—three separate and conflicting jute diction', all having a right to iotermeddle with, and not ose of the three, no, nor all three together, having the power satisfactorily to disentangle and arrange, the affairs of as insolvent Joint. stock Company ; and this in a country where more millions ars invested in jeintstook en terprise than thous's& are anywhere else. The thing is utterly preposterous. The time has COMO when commerce must, for these and kindred pu pates, have tribunals and methods of prendere of its own; something lees formal, but mom business like ; less costly, but more effectual; some method of administration carried out with that con. tempt of empty form, and strict regard to essential requisites, which characterise the dealings of the Exchange and the Money Market. Does any one suppose for a moment that the business power which presides over our great mercantile establishments, which ban organised the Clearing-house:and moves the intricate mechanism of Capel-court and Threadneedle street, would be inadequate, if allowed free play and unincumbered by the obsolete and slow forms of law, to wind up rapidly and satisfactorily such a business as this of the Royal British Bask P The notion is idle.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. PORTIFICAT'IGNS A letter { from Brunswick, htthir Post 4ms Ga setta of Frankfort, says :—" It appears that France will consider it necessary to establish fortified works between Strasburg and Kahl, in order to counter- Wanes the importance of the fortified bridge which it is intended to emestruot pa the Rhine at Cologne. This view ham been conveyed by the French govern ment to the varions courts of Germany, and that government has requested the latter to present in I reply their opinions with respect to the project. Some of these courts have already replied that the two fortified works cannot be placed on the name line of comparison, because at Cologne both banks of the river below to the same power, whilst at Kehl' one bank of the Rhine belongs to France, and the other to the Grand Duchy of Baden, which oan never menace the French Empire. So the matter remains at present." ITALY. .-.•-. THE STATES OF THE CHURCH. (PlO3l Orb OWN COILIMPONDINT.) ROME. Om. 9. " Napoli! Napoli is now the cry throughout Italy. Every eye in the peninsula is directed towards the Parthenopean shores, and from no region is the course of events watched with more palpitating is than from the States of the Church, where rulers and subjects are equally convinced, although with very opposite fears and hopes, of the vital importance of the question. To bt gin with the Sove reign Pontiff himself, the emotion of fear is said to be predominant just now, so much so indeed as to have induced his Holiness to favour his warlike neigh boor King Ferdinand with a little paternal advice not to push matters too far, lest he should upset the coach in which the sovereigns of Italy have hitherto jointly and successfully ridden under the skilful guidance of the protecting Powers. Cardi nal Antonelli appears to entertain lege apprehension than the Pope with respect to the final result of the struggle ; besides which his Eminence is very desirous to separate the interests of Rome from those of Naples, so that the difficulties of the one state may not necessarily entail dilemmas on the other. The nerve of the Cardinal Secretary of State, added to the soothing influence of M. de Rayneval's presence, will no doubt restore Pio Nono's equanimity ere long, and enable him to witness calmly the heroic exploits of the Bourbon sovereign. I have already stated to you the improbability of any immediate change in the government of the Roman States being contemplated by the Allied Power, as demonstrated by the return of the Free& ambessidett with all kis qiondam demo/nerd to the Holy Bee, and akoby the non-increase of the French garrison in Row, a fact hitherto undeniable in spite of all that bas been announced respecting the proximate arrival of General Roetolan's The only arrival of troops we have had, or are likely to have at present, unless a decided change in the Emperor's policy towards the Pope should be resolved upon, took place a few days ago at Civita Vecchia, when a French steam frigate brought over 700 men, destined to fill up the vacancies caused in the batta lions now in garrison by the return to France of about as many discharged or invalided soldiers. The strength of the brigade now occupying Home and Civita Vecchia, and consisting of the 40th and 25th Regiments of Infantry, with a corresponding force of artillery, amounts to about 4,500 men ; end the French military authorities are unanimous in declaring that up to the present moment nothing bee occurred indicating the slightest intention on the part of their government to send reinforcements. MARSHAL NARVAEZ ON A VISIT. A letter just received from Madrid has the follow ing strange story : - A serious incident in which Ilsrehal Narrate agues is good deal talked of here. It is said that he went pastas, t' pay a skit to General Aleetn, the new Captain-General c f the Philippine Isles, bat not finding him at home, went to the drawing room to wait for him. There he found, in ad dition to Mao. Alma, M. lord Gael y Beate and his wife. who bad also sailed to pay a visit. (The bluer is es Infanta of Spats, being sister to the Wog sad cousin to the Queen.) The conversation was very animated between the lady of the bows end M. Owl y Rata, and is the course of It Marshal Names, on several ottouloas, locked at the latter Ina peculiar manner. At length the gentleman, annoyed at being eo regarded, cried lam Gael y Rents l" On this tome sharp observations were a:changed, sad the lady of the hoes* having intervened, the Marshal eipreessil regret that he had gives way to anger; bat taking his bat be left the hens, and immediately sent a friend to chailenge X. Clue' y Resta to fight him. A sleeting was fixed ea, and the feet having bootee knows, attempt' were made to elect an arrangement, but without messes, M. Gael y Rents refuges for his part to give a promise not to fight. In sonsegnesso of this, the governor of the provisos has eaused that gentlemen to be arrested. In this position the affair wafting, and what will be the bine of it la not yet known. For the proper madmtandlog of it, it is nemmary to explain that some time before the departure of Marshal Names from Spain, M. Gust y Rents, in a sitting of the Cortes, attacked him in very severe terms ; and when he bad ooacladet, the Marshal rushing from his seat placed his cane on the other's breast, and threatened ALGERIA. The Moniteur of yesterday imblishes two reports from Marshal Randon, Governor-General of Algeria, giving a detailed account of an attack upon some of the Arab tribes who had refused submission to France, se the Beni-Mendez, the Beni-Addon, and the Beni-Boughredan. The attack was successfully planned, and carried out by the division under General Renault, with the small loss of one man killed and eight wounded. The loss of the Eabyles is reported to have been considerable. In a second attack the loss wu one killed and twenty-six wounded. The Bayles of the Beni Bou- Abbott entrenched themselves io their villages, but the entrenchments were carried at the point of the bayonet. This took place on the 30:h of September. The Kabyles having, however, Resembled again in large numbers, a second attack took place on the 4th of October. The village of Beni-Djema wu for some time valiantly defended by the Baby's', but finally taken. "Despite the difficulties of the posi tions to be carried (says the despatch) and the vigor ous resistance of the enemy, this day, which will, I trust, be fruitful in results, only cost us five men killed and thirty-nine wounded." A successful coup de main had also been made in the Amalfi district. Letters from Algiers of the 10th announce the de parture of the Cocyte for Delhys to take on board Marshal 'tendon, who is expected at Algiers on the 14th. The tribe of the Guechfoutas has summitted.

Bat since would have excited the greatest wonder, and might the glove has been thrown down, we shall take the liberty have taken to be. the nucleus of the great comet of asking these whe are so passionately contending against expected this year. as by what right it is that they claim to be the sole posses son of the truth ? We will tell them: You poems only the truth at a par ticular church, and we do not interfere with your teaching it. We do not prohibit our pupils from believing your doctrines or practising your precepts. We will tell them : You possess only the truth of a par tieulaz church, and you have the arrogance to lay claim to universal truth. It is a claim that cannot be allowed ; miser al truth is not yours. You do not possess histericisl truth, and you cannot teach it, f3r you are compelled to falsify history, in order to encase the crimes which have nerved the ambition of your church. You do not possess moral truth, and you cannot teach it. for the first law of morality is charity and toleration; wh the fourth Council of Laterse, under the presi dency of Pepe Innocent 111., prcelMme that " it is not only a right, but also a duty, to persecute heretics; and that it is impossible to be a good catholic without following ibis pria triple of the Roman church." You do not pawns scientific truth, and you cannot teach it, for the principles cf the church have condemned the sys tem of Copernicus, and persecuted Galileo, who professed it. You do not possess political truth, and you cannot teach It, fir the encyclical of Gregory XVI. has condemned the Belgian constitution, which Europe admires and envies as the wisest and best of all existing constitutions. Gentlemen, if we allow to the episcopate the right of directing its own course of ins/rutin' as it pleases, and of calcines ours without reserve, es yet cannot acknowledge its right to menace the fundamental law of the laud, sad seek to set the church above the state. The church is no longer content to teach religion without opposition, to organise modes cf worship without obstacles, and to found, with the aid of the public treasures, establish ments of education and charity—the church, in addition to this, would fain make incanions beyond her own limits, ventures to pus censure on rival establishments, and C)Alti. tutee herself, as of old, supreme arbitress of good and evil, in entire ceutempt of the settled attributes of the civil government. The reason le, that the Church of Rome Is not a religion only, but a political power,-41 political power neoessatily anteganistic to the dee, sad beholding the ideal of human society In the theoeratio absolutism of Rome. This church, when vanquished, claims liberty, as a matter of common right; but no sooner has it been conceded to her than she will employ it ss smatter of special privilege. • • The bishops desire, and by virtue of their principles are condemned to desire, a monopoly of aduestion ; they can not be contented with the influence they already miens on primary and secondary instruction ; they are not satisfied even with having an university of their own, they secretly aspire, and they must aspire, to overthrow all others. But yesterday they denounced as impious the University of Ghent, and demanded the dismissal of certain professors then; to-day they declare war to the knife against the Uni versity of Brunie; to-morrow will came the turn of the University of Liege. If they do not succeed in suppressing freedom of instruction, or,which comes to the same thing, of introducing the Antwerp convention iota the higher /duca t ox, it is not seal • blob will have failed them, it is that their attempts will have been defeated by the mighty power of public opinion, now vigilant and forewarned. You eel, gentlemen, where the danger lies ; you know the causes of that initetien which prevails and threatens a storm ; you are witnesses of the attack made by the episco pate !against a constitutional institution, and against the principles of our political rights. Bat the soma of the evil points to the remedy. That remedy is the action of public opinion, the guardian of our liberties, and the stronghold of public opinion is the free university of Brussels. If the free University were to fall, the bishops would soon become musters oldie univirsities of the state, and obtain a owlets monopoly of the higher education, As long as we remain standing, such a monopoly is impos sible, because our existence is Independent of political fluc tuations. We an engaged in a Wraggle, and we have a right to upise to triumph : the univerraties ads state will triumph with m. And theists, gentlemen, observe this : it is not we who are the aggressors. Belgium has been peaceable kr the lest five and-twenty years, guided by a wise and truthful king, whore glory it is to favour the regular development of our institutions within the limits of the fundamental laws; the moral life of the nation circulates and expands under this wholesome influence; the liberty of conscience, the liberty of the press, the liberty of association, pus into facts and help to form oar manners, without bringing with them trouble or perturbation. What do I say? They preserve us from the abc cka which have so violently perturbed neigh bouring countries ; truth spreads no every side, discuuion is open in the chairs of professors, in the school., in the churches, In the workshops, in the streets; our pupils spread themselves in all careen, and public esteem follows them where they go. We are ripe for liberty; we have justified the confi dence which the members of the national congress reposed in the calm and strong spirit of the Belgian people ; we have deemed our coattitution, for we have proved by twentyfive years of peace and progress, that with usliberty is the inse parable companion of order and family happiness. We will continue then, gentlemen, to leave to the bishops the truth of their church, and the liberty of defending it as they please, but we will never suffer dogmatism to 'nude the domain of feint*, much less to assert itself u universal science, we will n suffer it to attack the fundamental laws of the country, and the liberty of which those laws are the basis. We repeat It: examination, discussion, trathful and independent, of every power, spiritual or temporal, le not only a right but' a duty of the professorial body in every university, escrpt that which is under the rule of the episcopate, and ',lv eh submits science to dogmatism. In this we are sure that we shall have the support of public opinion. One ward more. You young men, who now bear me, are the hope of your country! To you one day will be entrusted that noble treasury of great principles which our fathers have handed down to ae as 'en heirloom ; take care, you have at this moment two principal enemies to fear —the seducing Whom' of others and your own enthu siasm. ----- Parsee your studies with that calm and security which befit the labours of the intellect; continue to give en min ple of conduct perfeely irreproachable ; the banner of the University is that of liberty, science, and order; It will continue, with its three colour', to stream bravely to the wind.

LIVERPOOL, TrESDAY. Privete letters and advice, have been received by shipowners and merchants here, per overland mail from Melbontne, to the 28th July, conveyed to Point de Galls by the Formosa, Captain Robeson, which sailed from Melbourne on that day. The letters, being private, convey little news, and report commercial affairs generally as withont any material alteration. The Royal Mail ship Red Jacket, with the English mails of the 20th of May, had not arrived at Mel bourne when the Formosa sailed. The official returns for the first half of the year 18f6 show that during that period 1,689,051 ounces have been shipped fromVictoris, which, at the customary compu tation of 2,000 lbs. troy to tte ton, make the produce of the gold fields of tbst colony amount to the enormous quantity of 66 toss 3 ewt. 1 qr. 121bs. 7 os.; moos by above 16 tons than has been shipped during the first half of any previous year The Argus has " not any doubt that the shipments for the second halt of the year will equal if not exceed the first." The prospects of the verious " workings " are most promis ing, and the pursuit of gold digging was never more system atically and steadily prosecuted. The coNtinuance of wet weather during the last two months reported on had, how ever, to a great extent interfered with the operations of the miners on the wet as well an on many of the dry sinkings, and had oompelled them to devote their energies to the gnarls reefs. The colonial demand for all kinds of unskilled labour was increasing. The balance of arrivals over departures during the month of June had been inconsiderable, and im migrants capable of performing rough work had readily met with engagement*. Of skilled labour there was little de ficiency ; the demand for artisans was not ,likely to exhibit much activity for lime time to come. Female servants were more plentiful than they had been of late, but great com plaints ezieted of the difficulty of meeting with really cult able domestics. The Melbourne papa► notioe, among the atrial aspects of the gold fields, the increuing spread of the co-operative principle in mining pureuits, and, as a natural consequence, the more extensive employment of machinery by the dig gers. This improved state of things is partly traceable to the enlightened spirit in which many of the lccal courts have framed the mining regulations far the districts under their jurisdiction, and partly to the sounder views enter tained by the diggers themselves of the conditions under which the operations of industry can be most success fully prosecuted. The new houses of parliament et Melbourne were rapidly approaching to completion. The government have invited designs for frames and statuary to decorate the building. The foundaticas bad also been laid of a ctmtnodicus county court. Considerable prrgress bas been ale) made in the erection of the new Eubanks', which promises to become one of the srohitectural ornaments of the city. There is some promise of the railway from Melbourne to Geelong being completed by the end of the year. Six miles of the line (at the Geelong end) were opened for excursion trains on the let of July, and the experiments which were made with a view to test the speed of the kcomotives were perfectly satief►ctory. The Argus regrets to be unable to report that any apparent propel. has been made in the pro secution of the works connected with the Melbourne, Mount Alexander, and Murray River Railway. The intelligence that peace has been restored, received by the James Baines, diffused general satisiactiint to far aa the event itself was concerned. As soma se the news was pro mulgated, a 'elute of 101 guns was fired, by order of the Acting Governor ; and at the Theatre Royal, on the Name evening, before the rifling of the curtain, a all of " God Nave the Queen" arose simultaneously from the large audience assembled to witness the performance of the opera. The cell was promptly complied w.th by the orchestra, and the audience, rising, greeted the familii r melody with the heartiest applause. " Portant pour la Sy fie " wu then de mended, and some lusty cheers were given for our gallant allies. By a proclamation from the Acting Governor, Wed nesday, the 2nd July (the day following the anniversary of our separation from New South Wales), was observed as a g 1 holiday ; and a review of the troops in garrison sad a sham fight took place, under the inspection of his Eacel lency. The 80th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by the United States of Americo wee ogle bested by a public dinner at the Criterion en the 4th inst.

NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received files of the Sydney papers to the sth July. The following important annooncemennt appeared in the Sydney Empire of the 6th July u an extract from the Bothurs: Free Press: A great deal of excitement bas prevailed in our town diaries the last few days, owing to the rumour. which were disseminated far and wide of the large quantities of gold said to have been dug up on Stoney Creek. and transmitted per mail to Bathurst. Some of the atonic. labia were alto , gather so incredible that it was only necessary to hoer to dis believe them. Others wore mote of an air of probability, and when traced to their fountain head ware found to be nearly true. Upon reference, however, to trustworthy and available sources of information, we find that, so usual, ' a great deal of exaggeration has been bandied atoot, and that the truth has been somewhat eighty coloured. It is • great mistake to call the Sanity Creek diggiegs a new gold field. They have been worked for many months with greater or less success, but the doings there, for regions beet known to the diggers at w-irk, have been kept as secret es potable. At length an individual, known by the soubriquet Bothered Harry, hit upon • 25-ounce nugget in a small tributary of Stoney Creek, known as the Stockyard Creek. The news queue upon the wings of the wind; • rush was the consequence, and a le rge tract of the &daunt country was laid out in claims. From one man, of whose veracity we base no doubt, and who has spent four months upon these digging., we learn the following particulars. After a steady course of sobtiety end industry during the time mentioned, our iaferviant, who wee gene rally believed to have been uncommonly tenon's., had saved ten ounces of gold, whieb he brought with him to Bathurst. Being upon the spot at the time of the rush, he was the third upon the ground, and got the selecti. n cf the third claim, but although within a " stone's throw" of his bothered friend, his claim pr..ved an ucprofitable cos. Beeide. the 28- ounce nugget already mentioned, a man frim Orange bad pounced upon one 44 ounces, and • Chinemrs another of 13 ounces. Bothered Harry's claim was worked out when he left (last Tuesday), and laurel of the most profitable Mg had ceased to yield geld. From Mr. Joseph Asrons, who arrived in Bathurst at the latter end cf last week, with 37 ounces of the Stoney Creek gold, we have lear:A the following par ticulen :—Mr. Auer). visited the dig:eines on Sunday, 'ho 15re tilt , when he estimated the pirulation at about 600. From the result of inquiries mode upon the spot, all were doing well, and some wire exceed ingly fortunate. He heard of one tub of earth producing 14 t anus of gold, and there was • geed .eel of talk stout • nugget weighing 64 ounces, but he did not see it There were large quantities of gold wanting parch , and tf disposed to waste be could have bought 3,0001 worth on the spot. Tone was no postal communication at the time he was there, but steps bad been taken towards its este bliehment. Diggers were pouring in from all tide', pro mising greedily to turns a very large mutation. Bust neu in the neighbouring townships bad in consequence be come brisk, and nothing was talked of but the diggings. 111 From Sergeant Cassidy, of Tambaroera, we learn that the diggers are fait deserting that aide of the country for Stoney Creek. ..__ SOUTH AUS'IRALIA. - - - - Our files from this colony exterd to the 3rd of July. The preliminaries of the intended 01 watch were being energetically pushed forward.
