THE soreness manifested by the protectionist Organs whenever they have occasion to touch upon the Industrial Exhibition is amusing. They cannot repress their admiration of the building; they are carried away by the gorgeous spectacle of the trea sures it contains; but as soon as they have time to recollect themselves they fall to carping. The In dustrial Exhibition is not, it is true, a free-trade bazaar; still it suggests the idea that every nation has mouthing that it can do better than any other, and that all nations would be wise to work in their own peculiar line, and avail themselves of their neighlieurs' assistance in other matters. Tho pro tectionist*, though gratified with the show, cannot help bearing a grudge to the Exhibition for its silent, unconseiowi contradiction of their pet dogmas. Among other splenetic effusions on the part of our protectionist brethren of the press, was their laboured attempt to prove, some week or ten days back, that in so fur as the anticipated resort of strangers to Lon don was concerned, and the anticipated profits of the London tradesmen, the Exhibition was a failure. Tho thronged state of all our great thoroughfares daring the present week must surely have convinced these gentlemen that their croaking was premature. They belong, however, to a class remarkably tena cious of first impressions—. wax to receive, and marble to retain "—and it will noways surprise us to bearthem re-asserting the opinion that our numerous Tinhorn bring no profit to London trade. In arguing this point,thcy have evinced their usual one-sided dexterity. They have gone the round of our show haberdashery and millinery stores, and asked theirowners whether their gains have been unwontedly great this season. They have asked our showmen of all kinds--from Her Majesty's Theatre to Vaux ball—whether they have lad crowded exhibitions. They not only begun their inquiries too early: they made them of precisely those classes who were least likely to benefit by the influx of strangers. The great show in Hyde-par . k must of necessity, from its no velty. east others into the shade, for a time at least. And even our lady visitors come to see sights, not to go a-shopping. Thanks to railways and other im provements in locomotion, our provincial belles find almost as irresistible temptations in the silk, lace, and ribbon line at their own doors as in the metro polis. They are case-hardened against the fine rai ment and ruinous bargains of London. But an influx of strangers which has, even at this curly period of the season, visibly aug mented the chronic crowding of London tho roughfaree, cannot but affect beneficially the pockets of our London tradesmen. Already we feel that they have diminished our elbow room. Look to the crammed condition of every 'bus that passes you. As for cabs, whole stands appear to be permanently denuded of them, and the chances of catching an empty cab passing are rare indeed. Now all the strangers who thus thrust themselves uncere moniously into oar accustomed seats must sleep some where, must eat somewhere, must seek fur repairs of the wear and tear of their garments somewhere. Like Launcelot G01.b.), they must (at times) " eat, and snore, and rend apparel out. The periodical cravings of' nature must be assuaged, and even those who bring a stock of clothing from home must em ploy the tailor occasionally. A great deal of money is being distributed among our lodging-house keepers, butchers, and bakers ; the market /faracners, and dairymen, and cattle-feeders, or miles and miles around, are driving a brisker trade . and those who are making more money than usual arc in turn spending more money than is their wont. Let our croakers ask in autumn at the banker's, and the increased rapidity of operations in the circulating medium during the h al f year will convince them that in declaring no money has come to our tradesmen front all this unwonted bustle, they have been hallooing before the hounds are out of the wood. And after all, this money view of the . question is infinitely the least important. London is not only more crowded, it is more gay than in customary years. We do not use the word to designate a mere increase of dissipation; we mean that the faces which pass us in the street wear a more cheerful, a more gladsome expression. Steady industry pursues its wonted course, and vet men are more lively, more prone to look upon the bright side of things. JOHN BULL'S proverbial habit of grumbling and vexing himself is 'intermitted for once. It is no trifling gain to be shaken out of our habitual care and corking. This, in fact, is the great practical benefit which all redacting men have from the beginning antici pated from the Industrial Exhibition. They saw in it a leverage sufficiently powerful to hoist men out at their jog-trot routine, and they knew that, if this could be accomplished, new ideas must crowd in upon society, and new modes of action must in time fol low. They did not regard the Crystal Palace as a mere museum for illustrating lectures by ex-members of the defunct Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. They estimated such pedantry at its true worth. But they anticipated—and time will yet justify their anticipations—results the exact nature of which could not, and cannot, be foreseen, by bringing men into contact with something entirely new and surprising. As a subdivision of parishes measure, the " Church Building Acta Amendment Bill" is perfectly . worth less. it does not contain a single provision that will actively promote the breaking up of our mew star parishes into separate, independent, and distinst ecclesiastical districts, and divide amongst their in cumbents rateably the property belonging . to the church in the parish. It does not put into the hands of parochial officers, or inhabitants, the ma chinery whereby to originate such repartition ; it does not enable the Church Building Commission to carry out the wishes of a parish in that respect, when authoritatively expressed; it leaves the general law on that important subject just where it found it—in a state of helpless confusion and mischievous embarrassment. It is not, we repeat,.a subdivision of parishes bill ; and that was what the public had a right to expect from the persons who had assumed the management and, of course, the bility of that question. It ought to be rejected on that ground alone ; for it is idle and useless to go on fussing, and meddling with and making, and marring all the petty details of district churches ; when to some general and com prehensive scheme of parochial subdivision we must come at last; seeing that by such small legislation we are only creating difficulties, obstacles, interests, and pretensions that are certain to be used in their turn against the greater measure when it arrives. On this general principle, then, it is fur better to refuse to reject any minor bill ; for, by such 'refusal, the necessity for thorough legislation will be greatly promoted. Small measures are the excuses of small ministers for not attempting gr e ater things. The bill, bad in this its acts of omission, is, how ever, worse in its acts of commission. It is a delibe rate proposal to break and violate public faith ; to place the pews of every church consecrated since 1800 at the mercy of the Church Building Commis sioners ; to restrict the number of free scats in new churches to one-third of the total number; to make the patronage of all such churches dependent en the whim of the commission ; to de prive select vestries of the little power they now have under the Church Building Acts ; to in crease the income of incumbents either by taxing the poor or by driving them out of churches, and taking in the rich in their stead, and to augment the power of the bishops. In every section their authority is swelled out ; nothing has to be commenced without their leave and license; nothing inquired into and investigated except on their appointment ; nothing to be con cluded except with their consent. From first to last every clause is be-bishopped. Now this was not so in the bill as originally introduced into the Lords ; there was, to be sure, even in it, a strong sprinkling of episcopal authority, but no such aur as there is now. 'fake, for example, the second section : it enables the commissioners (not the churchwardens, who arc clearly the proper persons) teerder a certain number of free scats to be espe cially appropriated to certain deserving poor inha bitants; and, in case of disputes as to such scats, the bill originally proposed that the Archdeacon should arrange them ; but as the clause comes down to the Commons, "the same shall be decided summa rily by the Bishop of the diocese;" living, it may be, some one hundred and filly miles off, and knowing little or nothing of the circumstances of the district. And this is now the spirit of all our church legialation • it treats the working clergy as persons of no di scretion, judgment, trust, or responsi bility; it regards churchwardens with contempt ; and as for the laity, their feelings or wishes, it does not condescend to notice their existence. Thus, this measure, after the bishops and the Church Building Commissioners have for a quarter of a century been exciting them to give sites, and to give money for the building and endowment of new churches, on condition that a certain number of the seats therein should be free for ever, now proposes to place every such free seat at the di s posal of the commissioners, without the consent, or assent, without even refer ence to those who really erected and founded the church. The folly of this seems to be quite on a par with the injustice : for, if good faith be not kept in this respect with those who in times past gave their money to provide church room for the poor, what secunty can those who may be hereafter inclined to follow their example, and build other churches, have that better faith will be kept with them? And if no such security exist, who will hereafter subscribe? If the episcopate violate their engagement, what con fidence can there be in man? At present churches are usually built partly by • grant from the Church Building Commissioners or Society, partly by subscriptions; and the patronage is either vested in the bi.,hop of the diocese, or in the incumbent of the - benefice. The present bill affects to be more liberal • it pretends to vest such patronage in the lay founders or in trus tees to be appointed by them. But it is pretence only. For all that it enacts is that the Church ' Building Commissioners may, with the bishop's con vent, and if they think fit, se vest the patronage. But no body of men, under such clauses as it con tains, can build and endow a church wider its provi sions with any certainty that they will have its patronage. Whether they get it or not will depend first on the consent of the bishop (who, by his refusal, will secure the patronage to himself), and that ob tained, then, on a secret conclave that will admit et no access to their deliberations, and assign no reasons for their decision. And to bad faith is added bad po Inshort the objections to the bill are endless. It will increase the patronage of the bishops, says Mr. Hum& It will deprive the poor of their free seats, Says SIR BENJAMIN HALL. It Will prevent men from building and endowing new churches, con tends Mr. Nlowsrr. It will introduce into the Church of England the worst feature of voluntaryism, quietiv observes Mr. W. J. Fox. It is a bad bill undoubtedly, remarks the sagacious Mr. Heater. It is not my bill, replies Sir GEORGE GREY. Per haps Mr. SIDNif Brit? can tell us whose bill it is.

SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1851. FRANCE. PARIS, FIIIDAT EVENING. M. Thiers has made to-day the grand protectionist speech, which he has been long preparing as a boon to his constituents of the Seine-Inferieure, who are the stiffest protectionists in France. The mere proposal for the introduction of the principles of free trade into France, however remote the realisation of such a scheme may be, cannot fail tots:interesting in the country which has set the great example. M. St. Bence beganby showing the necessity of removing all duty on alimentary substances. The sliding-scale in France was equivalent to no pro tection at all ; for when corn was cheap the duty was prohibitive, and when corn was dear it fell too low to afford the farmer any protection. The scarce years 1846 and 1847 afforded proof of this. Protection was merely favourable to the interests of certain ma nufacturers. Thus the price of iron had risen unchecked in '44, 4S, and 48, in consequence of the demand for railways; the tariff had not fallen, and the under takers of those enterprises had to pay 40 per cent. for their rails more than if they had been free to purchase iron in England and Belgium. This was enough to show the unjust inequality of protection, which was extended to an extravagant degree to one industry, while another reaped no benefit from it whatever. Agriculture was deeply interested in the abolition of protection, which did everything for certain manufactures, and nothing whatever for the farmer. He next turned to meat. What could be more absurd than that an aliment so essential to the strength and endurance of the workman should be loaded with a duty which excluded from the diet of labour its most substantial aid. Fifty francs a head was paid on cattle, and thirty francs the hundred kilogrammes for fresh and salt meat. Thus the population were obliged to pay one-third more for their meat than was necessary. This was a tax raised on the health and sinews of the operative classes. Look at England. The workmen of that country were never better nourished than at this moment, when their superiority was so strikingly 'evinced. Sir James Graham had stated that the amber of poor had sensibly diminished in England mince the abolition of duty on food. M. niers in- ' terrupted M. St. Beuve to remind him that Sir James Graham was an ardent free-trader ; and that agri cultural wages had couaiderably diminished in Eng land since the reforms of Sir Robert Peel. M. St. Bence then proceeded to show the necessity of tak ing off all duties from raw materials; and to argue against drawbacks, which, he said, only enabled the foreigner to purchase at a cheaper rate than a Frenchman what was manufactured in France. The privations to which the French population were re duced by the extravagant duties on sugar were strik ingly evinced by statistics, which attributed 3 kilos only of annual consumption to each Frenchman; while in England the consumption was 11 kilos, and in Holland 17. He would suppress at once all duties on wool, cotton, leather, wood, coal, and metals, but not on iron, on which he proposed to re 4see the duties gradually. M. St. Beuve would also abolish all differential duties. I lis principle was the advantage of the public, which ought to pay its taxes to the state, and not to this or that group of citizens who pursued a particular industry. He drew all his arguments from the reforms effected in Eng land, and strove to prove that free trade had been a decidedly successful experiment across the channel, and therefore it ought to be adopted in France, as there was no reason why it should be attended with l an opposite result here. M. St. Beuve having occupied the whole sitting with his able speech, re sumed the subject in the sitting of to-day. To-day he adduced fresh arguments to prove that the experiments of free trade had been successful in England. M. Thicrs then rose to speak in answer, and to op pose the motion. Ile begun by rendering homage to the genius of Sir Robert Peel. But he added that everybody in England was now convinced that the free trade reforms of that great statesman had gone too far and too fast ; and no doubt it would become necessary to make some steps in the opposite direc tion. It was generally felt in England that the country had been put to a most severe trial by free trade. Already there was a powerful party daily tending towards a political preponderance in Eng land, which was for reversing the principles of unli mited freedom in trade, where they began, and placing a fixed duty upon corn. Comparing the two systems of free trade and protection, he stated that France was doubling the amount of her importations notwithstanding the revolution, while the importa tions of England increased in a much lower ratio. It is impossible to present an analysis of a speech so crowded with facts and figures as that of M. Thiers. The principle of this elaborate harangue is that protection is indispensable to France; and that if it were suppressed }ranee would fall off in all re spects which constitute her a great nation. He then proceeded to point out the circumstances of di&renee between France and England, which made the expe riment of free-trade a thousand times more hazardous in France. England had not yet arrived, like France, at the point of placing 450 millions of direct taxes against 450 millions of indirect taxes ; although she was marching towards this equilibrium. England had only proclaimed the principle of free-trade when she had thought that she had secured her superiority by protection. M. Thiers then examined succes sively the questions of corn, of cattle, of coals, of iron of cotton, and of navigation. M. 'l'hiers was still addressing the Chamber when the post closed. An Englishman to-day, in attempting to get out of one of the tribunes, missed his footing, fell over the benches, and broke his leg. Lord Nonnanbv, who was in the diplomatic tribune, immediately hastened to the spot to procure all possible assistance for the sufferer of this severe accident. The committee of the budget has been engaged in examining the propositions referred to it by the As sembly, for re-establishing equality of duties on all spirits of French origin. The discussion on these propositions was interrupted by a communication from M. Berryer, in the name of the committee on the Lyons Railway Bill, of which ho formed part. M. Berryer stated that the committee were of opi nion that it was desirable to continue provisionally at the expense of the state the execution of the rail way from Chalons to Vaise, and to commence the works on the line from Lyons to Avignon. The committee estimated the expense approximatively at 76 millions, to be charged on the estimates of 1851 and 1852. The committee was at the same time oc cupied on the question of ways and means; it consi dered it possible to provide for the expense by means of an issue of bonds by the state to the amount of 100 millions; it, however, considered that there would be danger in a special committee proposing, not only such a considerable expense, but also a system el ways and means, without conferring with the committee on the budget, which alone was thoroughly acquainted with the financial state of the country. It would be readily undersood, said M. Berryer, what influence might be exercised on the economy of the budget by an amount and a form of loan determined without taking into account the general ways and means, by the aid of which the Minister of Finances is to meet the necessities and the eventualities of the two years of 1851 and 1852. The state of the floating debt, the liquidation and the consolidation of a part of that debt at a period not remote, when the country should be relieved from the political complications of 1852 ; the ultility of the Minister of Finances retaining the power of contracting a loan, if unforekeen circumstances , should render it necessary—all these conside rations might reveal serious inconveniences in an issue of bonds, which would weigh very heavily on the money market, and shackle the freedom of action of the minister. Without in any way prejudging the right of special committees to propose not only expenses but ways and means, the committee on the budget accepted the proposition submitted by M. Berryer, in the name of the committee, in the name of the ilway committee. The conference between the two committes has been fixed for Monday next. At that meeting the question will be discussed in the point of view of the budget. and of the general state of the finances.-1. The opportuneness of placing an expense of 75 millions on the estimates of 1851 ami 1852 ; and 2. The admissibility of the ways and' mesas proposed by the committee on the railway bill. Tho discussion on the question of spirits was &Remoras resumed, and a sub-committee, composed of MM. Lepeletier d'Aunay, Gouin, Germouierc, Lagarde, arid Beaumont, appointed to report on it. The funds were firm. The Fives closed at 93.25, with a rise of 15c. The Threes rose 10c., and closed at 36.15. M. Magne is appointed Minister of Commerce ad inertial, until the return of M. Buffet from London. SPAIN. MADRID, ICNE 22. The debate on the vote of confidence in the cabinet I continues. The ministry appears less firm, and ru mours of a restoration of the old Moderados to power, under Mon and Phial, are more rife than ever. Cer tain it is the opposition of the latter remains una bated. PORTUGAL. (! Electric reisgraph.) ?stole OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY MORNING. The Dauntless frigate, Capt. Halsted, arrived this morning at Spithead, with dates from Lisbon to the 23rd inst., and having the Prince of Saxe Coburg, brother to H.R.H. Prince Albert on board. All was quiet at Lisbon. The Cortes are appointed to meet on the 18th of November. Many of the recently elected representatives, functionaries, arc charged with the commission of crimes and misdemeanours, one of whom, in the district of Coimbra, is under suspicion of assuming office by conniving at an act of sanguinary violence. Under the new electoral law 47 colleges arc now to give 159 deputies, instead of 143 deputies from 26 colleges, according to Thomar's election of 1842 ; 1M from 36 circles, under Palmella's direct system of 1846 ; and 133 from 28 colleges included in the pro ject of law which was before the House of Peers when Saldanha went out with the troops on the Bth of April last. The Septembrista arc well pleased with the new law, but those implicated in Saldanha's movement are disc ontented, and Silvs Cabral's organ, the Estandarte, increases its attacks upon the government, although it does not yet abandon the Duke. _ _ The Montrose mail steamer, with the English mails of the 17th, arrived in the Tagus on the 21st, and left for Cadiz and Gibraltar on the 22nd.

Our correspondent writes: NEW YORK, JrNit 14. Since my last I have had nothing of great importance to communicate. In a few days the steamer North America will sail from this port to Galway, with a number of pas sengers, on an experimental trip. She is by no means one of our first-class steamers, and is said to have been origi nally intended for the Long Island Sound travel. Tho legislature of this state is now in session, an extra one, called by the governor to consider the subject of the proposed nine million loin to enlarge the Erie Canal. I have already expressed my opinions on this subject. • The question raised at the elections was, shall the canal be enlarged ; and in this view of it whigs and democrats along the line of the canal acted together. The true issue was shall we violate the constitution to enlarge the canal imme diately or enlarge it gradually, according to our means and according to law. It is understood, however, that the attorney-general of the state is determined to test the constitutionality of the bill. I have no news of the slightest importance to communi cate from the West Indies or South America, and shall not have till the next steamer arrives from Chagres. Two steamers sailed for that port yesterday full of passengers. Our domestic gossip is not without interest. The Webb and Willis affair is yet involved in mystery. Webb has at last, under the stringency of court rules, offered to deliver certain letters up, hut it is doubtful whether this offer will save him from a fine and reprimand. No one can tell where the truth lies at present. It is now ascertained that gold in considerable quantities exists in the state of Maine, but the labour of getting it is scarcely compensated by the gain. We learn that the United States Treasury will contain on the Ist of July, a surplus of 1.5,000,000 dollars. COMMERCIAL INT E LLIGENCE.

This ease, of Connelly v. Connelly, came on yester day before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The names of the judges sitting will be found in our law report. Dr. Addams and Mr. Rounell Palmer appeared for the appellant ; and Dr. Bayford and Dr. Phillimore for the re spondent. This was an appeal from the rejection of an allegation in a cause of restitution of conjugal rights, promoted by the respondent, the Rev. Pierce Connelly, clerk, against his wife, Cornelia Augusta Connelly, the appellant. The libel pleaded by the husband stated that the parties were married on the lit of December, 1831, at Philadelphia, in America, at the house of Lewis Duval, Esq., according to the rites and ceremonies of the Protestant episcopal church, the same being identical with the rites and ceremonies of the church of England, by the Bishop of Pennsylvania, who was duly consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. After the marriage, the husband being a priest in holy orders of the protestant episcopal church of the United States, was appointed rector of the church at Natchez, in the State of hlissiv‘ippi, end they lived and resided at that place until the year 1434, when they went to Rome, where they lived as man and wife until the year 1817, having had five children—three of whom were alive. That in the month of September, 1846, they came over to England, where they have resided ever since. But then, in Sept., 1841, the appel lant not having the fear of God before her eyes, and being unmindful of the conjugal vow, without any lawful reason, withdrew herself from bed, board, and mutual cohabitation with her husband, and that sh? refused to return and to co habit with him, end to render him conjugal rights. To this libel, put in by Mr. Connelly, his wife, the appellant, set forth an allegation in answer thereto, which contained twenty-one articles, and which stated that, in the month of October, 183.1, she and her husband had been disposed to become Roman eatholics, and that he, being desirous of considering the points in controversy between the two churches, with such aids and assistance as they could pro cure at Rome, they went to New Orleans to embark for Europe, at which place she, the appellant, with the consent of her husband, abjured the protestant faith—they then proceeded to Rome, where they arrived in December, and on coal lI:WIELD HAY MARKET.—THIS DAY. Palm Sunday, in the year 1435, the respondent was likewise Messrs. Cooper and Davis report the supply short, but received into the church of Rome. In January, 1838, they quite equal to the demand, at the following quotations : returned to America, and settled at Grand Coteau, in the Prime Meadow Ray, 765. to 84s. inferior ;_ ditto, 335. to state of Louisiana , where they resided until 1842. That . 70s. ; new, 50s. to o d es ; Rowan, 5.. w. to 655.; Clover, old, in October, 1849, whilst regint at Grand Coteau, the 73e. to 97e. 6d. ; new, 60s. to TU. ; Straw, Ws. to 30e. respondent proposed to his wife that thenceforth they should live in constant and perfect chastity, abst.in ing from sexual intercourse. in order to the more fully devoting themselves mutually to the service of God, and with a special view to the respondent's declared wish and intention to take orders in the holy Roman catholic ehuch—that she agreed to the proposition, and in pursuance of such verbal agreement they had stedfastly maintained the same ever sines; and in furtherance of their object the respondent placed the appellant, in May, 1842, in the con vent of the Sacred Heart, at Grand Coteau, and then left America for Rome, in order to make arrangements which were requisite to be made prior to his being admitted as an ecclesiastic in the church of Rome, In July, 1843, the re spondent returned to Philadelphia, near which city the convent was situated, and in July, 1843, they proceeded to I Rome, where they arrived on the 7th of December follow- I Mg, and where they lived in a state of chastity, the object lof their visit being to obtain a formal decree tantamount to, ° or in effect being a sentence of separation from each other, which was necessary in order that he might take orders in the Roman catholic church, and that she might become al nun. They accordingly presented a petition embodying I the requisite statements to Pope Gregory .XVI., which was referred by him to the Cardinal Vicar General and Judge Ordinary of Rime, who, after duly examining the facts of the ease, pronounced in effect a etntokee of separation, I which was as follows: "In the name of God, amen. His Holiness our Sore reign Lord, Pope Gregory the Sixteenth, having been pleased to assent to and approve of the amlicatien made by the married parties, Peter Connelly, sou of the late henry, and of the living Mrs. Elizabeth Pierce, a native of Phila delphia, who has entered the bosom of the holy catholic church, after having abjured the errors of the heretical episcopalians in the year 1836, here in Rome, as well as that made by the same writing on behalf of his wife, Cor nelia Pico, daughter of the late Raphael and of the late Maria Suopp, als of Philadelphia, and which married parties have determined to live in perfect chastity, after mature deliberation, and in pursuance of the counsels of most respectable ecclesiastics, and are now steadfast in their intention of carrying their resolution into effect—that is to say, the former, Mr. Peter Connelly, to enter into the in stitute of the Society of Jesus, having been already , accepted by the very rev. father the superior general of the so ciety, and to devoted himself wholly to the ecclesiastical state, and to be promoted to holy orders, and thelatter, Mrs. Cornelia, to embrace the institute of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, haring been already accepted by the com munity of the Holy Trinity of Monti in order to live in constant and perpetual chastity, having provided for the future education and subsistence of three children, 'Mercer, Adelina Maria, and Peter Francis, his holiness himself in the audience of the 16th of March last, committed all the necessary and suitable faculties to his Eminence the Most Reverend Cardinal Constantino Patrizi, his Vicar-general, to the intent that, on observing the required formalities, the wishes of both petitioners may be complied with. His must reverend eminence therefore, by virtue of the afore said apostolical faculties, being desirous that the pious wish of the two said married parties may be accomplished, has, o by a special act, registerod in the Archives of the Secrets nate of the Vicariate, on the Ist day of April, deputed me, the undersigned, promoter fiscal of the said tribunal, for the purpose of receiving from the aforesaid married parties. Peter Connelly and Cornelia Tice, the necessary and proper mutual convent, in conformity with the sacred canons, by which they may freely consent, each for his or her part, to allow of the fulfilment of the above-mentioned deterniina tion to live perpetually in a state of perfect chastity. Mr. Peter Connelly and Mrs. Cornelia rho having therefore t acei V zd di bg a o pe re t ni vi e antt the e meu n t um re t td r eing, o s n itu t tLin t floor, I interrogated them as to whether they are now steadfast rind constant in the determination expressed sad humbly represented to the holy father, and they having replied in the affirmative, I further interrogated them as ti whether they were or are induced by any worldly respect to carry out the aforesaid determination, to which they re plied that no worldly consideration had induced or does induce them thereto, hut solely the divine inspiration and the desire of greater perfection. These protestations pre mised, I culled upon Mrs. Cornelia Pico, the wife of Mr. Peter Connelly, freely to give her consent to her husband, Mr. Peter, and to permit him to enter the institute of the society, to live perpetually in perfect chastity, and to be promoted to holy orders as far us to the priesthood, where upon she gave her full consent thereto. .11r. Peter Connelly the husband of Mrs. Cornelis) Pico, being thereupon all: l upon to permit her to enter the institute of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart, to live perpttuatly in perfect chastity, he likewise gave his full consent thereto. Their mutual consent having been pronounced as above to be ratified as within the term of one Tear, or even sooner, with the requi site special apostolical faculties, both the married parties were called upon to sign the present act, together with two witnesses who are present, namely, the Rev. Don Giuseppe Boceacani, priest of the diocese of Sarni, son of Mr. Con stantino and of Mrs. Maria Ventura, domiciled in the in cumbency of St. Eoque at Rome, and Mr. Robert Berkeley, of Spetchley, in Worcestershire, in Englend, son of Mr. Robert and Mrs. Henrietta Beata!, domiciled in the same parish—An act done as above, this Ist day of April, 1811. I, Peter Connelly, give consent as above; I Cornelia Con nelly, give consent as above; 1, Giuseppe hoectuatni, was witness to the said consent; I, Robert Berkeley, was wit ness to the said consent ; Francesco Anivitti, Canon Pro moter Fiscal, delegated as aforesaid." This decree ►havingbeen pronounced, the respondent placed his wife in the Convent of the Sacred Heart, Trinita de; Monti, at Rome, on the Bth of April, 1811; on the 9th he entered himself in the College di Nobili, and the nest day he received the first clerical tonsure, and assumed the ec clesiastical drew. In June, 1845, he responded,being about to take orders in the Roman Catholic Church, it was neces sary that the appellant should bind himself by a !Amon vow of perpetual chastity, and although she warned him of the diffii ulties and trials of the state into which he was about to enter, and offered to release hint from all such difficulties and trials by returning to their previous mode of life, the respondent persisted in his intention, and ac cordingly the appellant signed a written vow of perpetual chastity, which was likewise signed by the respondent, and was as follows : " Almighty and Eternal God, I, Cornelia, the lawful wife of Peter Connelly, 0 usting in thine infinite goodness and mercy, and animated with the desire of serving thee more perfectly, with the consent of my husband, who intends shortly to take holy order, do make to thy Divine Majesty a vow of perpetual chastity, at the hands of the Rev. Father Jena Louis Rosaven, of the Society of Jesus, delegated for that purpose by his Eminence the Cardinal Vicar of his Holiness fur the city of Rome, supplicating thy divine good ness, by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, to be pleased to accept this offering of thy unworthy creature, as a sweet smelling savour, and that as thou bast given me the desire and the power to make this offering unto thee, so thou wouldst also grant me abundant grace to fulfil the sante.— Rome, at the sacred heart of Jesus of the Trinity of the Mount, 18th June, 1815." This vow having been taken, the respondent received sub deacon's orders on the 22nd of June, deacons orders on the 29th, and on the 16th of July was made a priest. In May, 1846, the respondent left Rome for England, where he he came private chaplain tothe Earl of Shrewsbury; and in April, in the same year, the appellant proceeded to Paris, and from thence to Derby, in England, where she founded a com• munity of religious women, under the title of " The Congre gation of the Holy Child Jesus," of which she is now the Superioreas, and which she governed by rules which had been submitted to and sanctioned by competent ecclesias tical authority before she quitted Rome. The community had since removed from Derby to Hastings. On the 21st day of December, 1847, the appellant took the necessary vows of poverty and obedience; at the same time renewing her former vow of perpetual chastity ; the Roman catholic ordinary being present. The vow of poverty and obedience was as tollows: " Almighty and everlasting God, I, Cornelia Connelly , being most unworthy of thy divine regard, but confiding nevertheless in thy infinite pity and mercy, and moved by the desire of serving thee, vow in the presence of the most blessed Virgin Mary, and all the heavenly court, to thy divine Majesty poverty and obedience (renewing also my vow of chastity formerly made) in the Congregation of the Holy Child Jesus; and I promise to enter it, to live and die in it, intending to do all things according to the constitutions of this congregation. And this vow I make in the presence and under the sanction of the Right Rev. N. Wiseman, Bishop of Melipotamus, coadjutor of the right reverend the Vicar Apostolic of the central district, as ordinary for tho time being of this house and community. Coxgrnia CosNELLY. " Nictionsts, Bishop of Melipotamus. " STE. ABPERTI "Dec. 21, Feast of St. Thomas, 1817." The respondent having, in the month of April, 1847, been anxious that his wife (the appellant) should take the vows of poverty and obedience without delay, later in the year dis sented from her doing so, on the ground that he was re sponsible fur her debts, and drew tip a protest, which was sent to 1/r. Asperti, the spiritual director of the community where the appellant was; hut, subsequently having dis cussed the matter with the dock', he withdrew his protest. In January, 1818, the respondent went to Rome, but re turaial in the month of May, and in the beginning of June presented himself at the convent at Derby, and desired to have an interview with his wife. She had removed to Hastings, but no preventative to an interview was inter posed save by the appellant herself, who declined to see him, and communicated her wishes through the medium of Dr. Asperti; and subsequently the respondent wrote to Dr. As perti the following fetter: " Alton Towers, June 5, 1818. " Very dear Don Samuele—l thank you from my heart for your kind note and its affectionate sympathy. I humbly beg your pardon for the scandal I must have given you in a moment of weakness, at a blow falling on me I never had expected, and was wholly unprepared for. I shall be obliged to you to thank the reverend mother for the letter she was good enough to send me from my little boy, the first I have seen for more than five months. I return it to her in case she should wish to keep it.—Ever dearest Don Samuele, in the bonds of our Lord, your faithful and affectionate " Pirace Corssrsum. Don Samuel:, Asperti, D.D." The ad j artr u m rn e e n d ts of counsel were not concluded when the court MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLooc. Business in the English stock market has not been of any extraordinary magnitude, though very re ' spectable for a Saturday ; but as it has been nearly all in .the way Of purchasing, and the market is buoyed up by a combination of favourable influences, as noticed on former occasions, additional firmness has been shown, and a further rise of k established, making the total advance within the last three days per cent. The (tank returns prove as favourable as we had anticipated, and have materially contributed to the firmness of prices. At this season, however, harvest prospects are so materially influenced by tho state of the weather that this consideration becomes paramount as the basis of operations in the stock market. Had the unseasonable weather of a fort night back continued, no other consideration would have been operative to arrest a downward movement, as rumours of deficient and backward crops would have been set afloat by the hundred. Under present circumstances, the " bears" have hardly a handle to work with.

The market fin• shares at length seems to sympa thise in the upward movement of the traffic returns, and considering that many old account are now cleared otf, looking also to the buoyancy of the ' English stock market, the easy position of the money market, and the prosperous appearance presented by railway property generally, it seems natural to believe that the depression has reached its point, and that the reaction now perceptible will result in the establishment of a much higher range of figures. The market to-day opened much better, and during the last hour and-a-half a still further improvement has taken place, extending throughout the entire market, so that nearly every line now shows a considerable improvement, and every description would certainly realise abetter price than was obtainable yesterday. For a Saturday, which many dealers make a partial holiday, a consi derable amount of business has been concluded, and many stocks are attracting a greatly increased share of attention.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE MARKETS. MINCINO-LANG, SATURDAY MORNING. In the Colonial Markets this ...Lek improved rates have again been realized for most descriptions of produce, and more anxiety to get into stock is desirable. The public sales of Sugar have gone off with spirit, and prices about 6d. per cwt. above those previously current have occasionally been paid. Privately a large business has been done. A rise of 2s. has occurred in the value of Plantation Ceylon Coffee, and some fine marks have been disposed of at a greater enhencement, while Native kinds have to-day been sold at 38s. to 38s. 6d. per cwt. A good demand ex ists for the fine sorts of Saltpetre, and high rates have been obtained. The Tea Market bas considerably recovered its tone: ordinary Congou has been sold at 91d., and Lair Common at 10d. per lb. TALLOW lAItKE'r.—TIIIS DAY. The market is quiet, with prices hardly so high as in the earlier part of the week. Present quotations are:—Town Tallow, 365., nett cash ; Petersburg Y. C. on the spot, 375. 6d.; last three mouths. 30s. MABILET AVERAOES.—Town Tallow, 38s. ; fat by ditto, 2s. ; Yellow Russia', 395. ; melted stuff, 285.; rough ditto, 175. • Tallow graves, 94.; good dregs as. The stoCh of colonial and foreign remains heavy, being 14,000 casks greater than last year ; rates arc also equal to that time, and deliveries are upon a smaller scale. On the 'spot hue new Yellow Candle is held for 375. 9d. to 385.; dealers, however, opera st with caution, as a reduction if looked for. For dehvery in last three months of the year the rates demanded are bs. to 395. 6d., and few sales have been made. In home melted a fair business is doing, but at the low rates of 39i. to 365. nett cash. The quantity on offer is still larger than last season. Of other sorts supply ezeeeds dealers' wants. and there is a decline for low sorts; tine, however, realise full rates. There is every prospect that imports of Tallow will be equal to last season, and that lower rates will exist. Fat moves off slowly, at former terms. WOOL MARKET.-TIIIS DAY. The market for foreign Wool remains very quiet, as bo fore noticed. For English Wool trade is rather brisker than of late, and previous rates are well supported. The imports of Wool into London this week are 300 bales from ' hamburg, 2,677 from Sydney, and :14 from Aletaadria.
