IT transpired yesterday afternoon that the cor respondence which Mr. LAYARD recently stated in the House of Commons was then pending between the Brazilian Minister in London and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had terminated in a rupture of official relationsbetween the two Govern ments. The Brazilian Minister, it is stated, acting under orders from his Government, sought redress for the manner in which the reprisals were made in the harbour of Rio de Janeiro, and upon Earl Rus s= refusing to re-open a discussion on any part of the questions arising out of the wreck of the barque Prince of Wales, or to give any satisfaction for the ache complained of, the Brazilian Minister requested and has received his passports. As the correspondence will no doubt be immediately laid before Parliament, the exact state of the case will soon be authoritatively known, and mate rials be furnished for a sound judgment on Ul4 unhappy termination of an incident generally re gretted. Moor of our readers, we doubt not, have been struck with the account we published on Wednesday of the doings of the Rev. Mr. Davao and "Brother IGNATIUS," at Claydon pariah church, on Whit Sun day last. Of course those of the clergy who intro dace these innovations pretend some warrantbeyond their own fancy. They profess that they are only reviving the ancient usage of the Church of Eng land ; they insert that they have a right to adopt any practices of the unreformed Church which have not been explicitly forbidden by the formularies now in legal force. They are no friends of the liberty of private judgment, and are ready, with Brother lorisvics, to brand LITTHER, MELANCTHON, ZWINGLE, and KNOX as arch heretics. But in choosing to follow what they suppose to be the customs of the second year of EDWARD VI., in preference to others, they do as much to smart a right of private judgment as the Puritan clergymen who were expelled by SHELDON. And whatever Dr. Lessisorow mey have to say to their proceedings, whether he is ready to con demn them, or can only groan in spirit over im perfections of the law which permits them to escape, we cannot doubt that they are acting in a spirit contrary to that which presided over the enactment of the present laws of the Church of England. There are two ways of providing for the government of a Church. You may commit its doctrine, discipline, and worship to the care of the whole company of believers, in a spirit of faith, remember ing certain promises of spiritual and perpetual companionship and guidance made by the Founder of our religion. We need not further notice this method, however primitive and apostolic, because practical men and statesmen have long ago decided that it is too romantic to be suitable to this age. The other way is to prescribe once for all the articles to be believed, the rules to be followed, the prayers to be offered. This is the method of the Reformed Church of England, and it has lasted some hundreds of years. We think there can be no doubt that the authors of the Act of Uniformity intended to fix the ceremonies and wor ship of the Church. We are not asking what would have been wise and liberal in the reign of Cnsates 11., but what was actually done. And it seems clear that all that was considered meet and neces sary for divine worship was then ordered and pre scribed. We observe that this is the opinion of the Bishop of Exorea, who, speaking at Truro lately of another innovation of the ultra-ritualistic clergy —the mixing of water with wine at the celebra tion of the Holy Communion—said : He bad bees told that there were amongst them those who departed from the custom and ordinance of the Church, violating the mast solemn promise and vow which they bad ever made, in doing that which in itself he freely admitted not to be criminal. But what right had any of them to set up their own judgment, or follow their own fancies, with reference to the observances of the inetitutions of the Early Church, in costradlation to that Church which THE EXPRESS, SATURDAy EVENING, MAY 30, .1863._ was retitled to their reverence acid thoughtful obedkoese At the time of the Reformation it did not please . ** Mush of England to ordain the practise of maim enter with the wine. The Mioistere of that Ohara were bowed to obey her orders ; and be earnestly besought them to remember that they had promised to perform the ordinances in accordance with the practice she had set forth. Now either the law of the land respecting the performance of divine worship in our parish churches must be upheld, or we must submit to see every congregation liable to become the sport of any young man fresh from college. Such as it is, the law is the only protector of the parish. The parishioners may meet and tax themselves for the washing of surplices, but they have no control whatever over the choice of a minister or the conduct of the services. The only justification for this deprivation of liberty is that it is necessary for peace, and that Parliament, which has bound the parishioners, has also bound the priest for a common object. It is an ungrateful office to seem to oppose liberty, even such liberty as that of the Rev. Mr. DRURY and Brother IGNATIUS. But the parochial system, which delivers over the churchmen of a given locality to a particular clergyman, instead of leaving them at liberty to call in a second minister, and thus, if necessary, balance one ecclesiastical tendency by another, creates a necessity of strictly defining the mode of conducting the services of the Church. It ap pears from the case of " Josues v. Jam'," tried last week in the Court of Arches, that a clergy man has no right to read prayers, preach, and ad minister the sacraments in the private chapel of his own estate, without the consent of the Incum bent of the parish. So much power requires to be placed under regulation, or it becomes tyranny; and under such a tyranny, it appears to us, the churchmen of the parish of Claydon are now auffc'-- raring. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (avilles Tor.nams.) THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. PARIS, MAT 30. Count Persigny has addressed a circular to the prefects of the departments, in which he says : "For the first time since the formation of the empire, parties inimical to the institutions which the French nation has given itself dare to attack these institutions in face of universal suffrage. Not being able to deny the great things effected by the Emperor they attack the finance which has served to accomplish them. The country will not be duped by such manoeuvres." MEXICO. PARD3, RAY 30. Official despatches reoeived here announce that the siege of Puebla continues with vigour. Gene ral Forey writes, on the 19th April, that blocks of houses fall successively into the hands of the French after regular attacks. The Mexicans who endeavoured to interrupt the French convoys bad been completely routed in dif ferent engagements. The health of the army was very good. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, MAT 30. The Journal de St. Petersbonsg reprints the pro clamation which the Cats attributed to the Empe ror of Russia, ordering the peasants to massacre all Roman catholics, and adds, " This is what a newspaper prints which pretends to be a serious publication." THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. TURIN, MAT 29, Eviamo. To-day in the Chamber of Deputies the e Minister of Foreign Affairs laid on the table of the house several diplomatic documents. The first series of these documents consisted of a correspondence between the Signori Pasolina and Visconti and the Chevalier di Nigro, respecting the relations between the kingdom of Italy and the Pontifical States. The note of Signor Visconti, dated Ist April, offers to renew the Con vention, concluded in September, 1861, with France for the repression of brigandage, and claiming the intervention of France for the removal of Francis IL from Rome. The second series of documents refers to the Polish question, and shows that the instructions given to the Marquis Pepoli were in conformity with those of the English and French ambassadors. The note of Signor Visconti, of the 12th May, in reply to the note of Prince Gortchakoff (already published), says that it cannot be the interest of Russia that Poland should continue to be a source of disquietude to Europe. " The Italian Government," says the note, " is in accord with the Allied Powers, and considers necessary the adoption of a system which would efface the causes of the sufferings of Poland." The other documents relate to the Swiss affair and the Servian question. SPAIN. MADRID, MAY 29. The sentence of imprisonment passed upon the Spanish proteetants at Malaga, like that of the Granada proteetants, has been commuted to banish ment. The prisoners will be conveyed to France. THE BRAZILS. TJEBON, MAY 29. The Menageries Imperiales steamer Beam has left for the Brazils. OPENING OF THE BRAZILIAN CHAMBERS. (By telegraph from Lisbon.) RIO JANEIRO, MAT 8. The opening of the Brazilian chambers took place on May 3. The Emperor, in his speech on the occasion, said that the solution of the difficulty with England depended upon the King of the Belgians. The chambers, in the address which they unani mously adopted in reply to the Emperor's speech, said : "All the Brazilians are ready to make the sacri fices necessary to maintain the honour of BraziL" The conflict in Peru has been arranged. Cholera continues. Coffee has risen 200 reis. Exchange on London has been negotiated for the Oneida to the amount of 300,000/. at 77} to 27g. On Paris, bills have been drawn for 1,000,000 fr. AUSTRALIA. PENZANCE, MAY 30. The Agincourt, Captain Symons, 115 days from Melbourne, has arrived off Scilly, with 100,0001. in gold. She landed five passengers. WKLTRXR IMPORT.-(THIS DAY.)

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MOM OUR OWN PA BIS. FRIDAY EVLNING. The elections, and still the elections, are almost the only thing that a Paris correspondent can now write about, if he would reflect the at mosphere in which he lives. At the head of the leading column we read these words : • "The electoral movement is becoming more and more pronounced." To show the direction of the movement, as far as the action of government is concerned, I subjoin a few of the anecdotes of the day culled at random. A communiqu4 in the Journal de la Haute &dos contains the following announcement : By order of the government of the Emperor, the Marquis d'Andelarre is prosecuted before the Correctional Police for public insults to the prefect of the Baste &One in the exercise of his functions on the occasion of the posting and distribution of a handbill bsaringthis title:—" Fourth letter to my constituents." Observe how gratuitously the Emperor's name is lugged into the above notice for the double pur pose of striking terror and leading the ignorant to infer that they are offending the Emperor per sonally and running the risk of chastisement by his order, if they support the opposition candidate. It is not enough for this prefect to say that government orders the prosecution ; he must needs speak emphatically of the "Emperor's" govern ment. In addition to the prosecution the prefect has launched a proclamation against the Marquis d'Andelarre, in which, with curious infelicity, he quotes a saying of Napoleon 1., that les blows tont toujours blanc, and says that whatever disguise they may alumina they are always recognised. Now, although the Marquis d'Andelarre may be a Mane and an enemy of the empire, as the prefect affirms him to be at this present time. it was not so easy to see through his mask, because six years ago he was warmly recommended by government to the very constituency which is now ordered to reject him. A highly comic letter from M. Janvier, prefect of the Eure, has been made public. lie writes to the commandant of the ponspiers (fire brigade) of the department, "My dear commandant,—Bring up your men to the poll, and let them vote as one man for their Emperor, their country, and their prefect." The bathos of this is wonderful, and shows that as there are many municipal councillors who can neither read nor write, so there are some " devoted prefects" who had not got far in rhetoric when they left college. In a village near Angers the garde champetre, while delivering a prefectoral circular at a pea cant's house, left a voting bulletin with it, saying at the same time to the voter's wife, " This is the paper which your husband is to bring back to the mayor when he comes up to vote." The poor woman replied very sensibly, " Well, but if the mayor wants my old man to bring that bit of paper back, why did he not keep it, instead of sending it here I" This genuine commentary upon universal suffrage with vote by ballot is worth reflecting upon. In a department, the name of which I at this moment forget, a society of some sixty persons had obtained the authorisation of the prefect to beat certain woods to hunt wolves. A spy suggested to the prefect that wolf-hunting was only an excuse for an electoral meeting in the woods, at which speeches would be made. Thereupon the prefect made haste to revoke his order. It will henceforth be an axiom that "no wolves are to be killed in election time." Admiral de Vembiac, a naval officer, whose rank speaks for his respectability, and whose adhesion to the empire was attested by the oath imposed upon all officers who would remain in the service, eleven years ago, was an opposition candidate in the pro vinces. He has withdrawn, because, as he attests in a letter signed with his name, the unfair exer cise of the power of the prefect renders success almcet impossible, and, at any rate, makes bad blood in the neighbourhood. The admiral says be should never have thought of standing but that he was deceived by M. de Persigny's promises that the elections were to be fair. The Opinion Nationale mentions as a rumour which it affects to hope may be denied, but which, I have no doubt, is true, that M. Bandy, a judge . , at Poitiers, who is an opposition candidate, being unable to find a printer in that town who would dare to print his placards, had them printed at Bordeaux, and that when they were despatched to him the package, containing 3,000 copies, was seized by the police at the railway station. It is stated in the Pays that Admiral Jarien la Graviere, who is hourly expected in Paris, gave orders before he left Mexico that all the siege artillery and materiel that could possibly be spared from Vera Cruz should be sent to General Forey at Puebla. This is an indication among others that the "regular" progress of the siege, which is all that the government journals can venture to congratulate themselves upon, must be very slow. The France pretends to know for certain that a projected note of the court of Rome, in answer to "incorrect assertions" made by Lord Palmerston in his place in parliament, has received the appro bation of all the catholic powers. The Emperor yesterday paid a visit to the Duke of Brabaut at the Grand Hotel. The Bourse has improved to-day, Reute rising 15c. for account, and Mobilier Bfr. 75c. The Daily News is seized. The Surrey Standard says :—" Sir Moses Monte fiera has undertaken a journey to Constantinople, and on his way he stayed a short time at Path, where he attracted great attention, not only from his great sae, which is eighty-one, and his noble, commanding bearing, but on account of his creed. Sir Moses hfontefiore has undertaken this long journey, which at his advanced time of life is s great risk, in order to use his influence with the Sultan in favour of his Jewish brethren." It is estimated that seven days out of ten throughout the year Cape Race is enveloped in fog. By great circle sailing the arc of the circle passes over the Cape. The latter is 1,000 miles, or about one-third, nearer Liver peal than New York. Gold has been found in the streams and quartz formation of the Cartel, in British Guiana, in enfllcient . . . . . 'ffe FATAL WOUND OF GENERAL nowrirALL SUFFKRINOS AND MATH. (From the BitAmonet Eaquirer, May U.) General Jackson, having gone some distance in front of the line of skirmishers on Saturday evening, was returning about 8 o'clock, attended by his staff and part of his couriers. The cavalcade was in the darkness of the night mistaken for a body of the enemy's cavalry, and fired upon by a regiment of his own corps. He was struck by three balls, one through the left arm, two inches below the shoulder joint, shattering the bone and sever ing the chief artery ; another ball pseud through the same arm between the elbow and wrist, making its exit through the palm of the hand ; a third ball en tend the palm of the right hand about its middle, passim through, and broke two bones. He was wounded ea the Plank-road, about 50 yards in advance of the enemy. He i fell from his horse, and was caught by Captain Wormley, to whom he remarked, " All my wounds are by my own men." He had given orders to fire at anything coming up the road, before he left the The enemy's skirmishers appeared ahead of him, and he turned to rile beak. Just then some one cried out, "Cavalry, charge!" and immediately the regiment fired. The whole party broke forward to ride through our line to escape the fire. Captain Boswell was killed, and carried through the line by his horse, and fell among I our own men. Colonel Conchfield, chief of staff, was wounded by his side. Two couriers were killed. Major Pen dleton, and Lieutenants Morrison and Smith, escaped unin jured. General Jackson was immediately placed on a litter and started for the rear. The firing attracted the attention of the enemy, and was resumed by both lines. One litter bearer was shot down, and the General fell from the shoulders of the men, receiving& severe contusion, adding to the injury of the arm, and injuring pita side severely. The enemy's fire of artillery on this point was terrible. General Jackson was left for five minutes until the fire slackened ; then placed in an ambulance and corned to the field hospital at W ilderuess Run. He lost a large amount of blood, and at one time told Dr. M'Guire he thought he was dying, and would have bled to death, but a tourniquet wu immediately applied. For two hours he was near pulselesa from the shock. As he was being carried from the field, frequent inquiries were made by the soldiers, " Who have you then'.'" He told the doctor, "Do not tell the troops I am wounded." After the reaction, a consultation was held between Drs. Black, Coleman, Walls, and M'Guire and amputation was decided upon. He was asked, "It we find amputation necessary, shall it be done at once ? " He replied, " Yes, certainly, Dr. 'Moire—do for me whatever you think is right." The operation was performed while he was under the influence of chloroform, and was borne well. He slept on Sunday morning, was cheerful, and in every way was doing well. He sent for Mrs. Jackson, asked mi nutely about the battle, spoke cheerfully of the rank, and said "H I had not been wounded, or had an hour snore of daylight, I would have cut off the wanly from the road to the United States Ford, and we would have had them en tirely surrounded, and they would have been obliged to surrender, or cut their way out. They had no other alternative. My troops sometimes may tail in driving the enemy from a position, but the enemy always fail to drive my men from a position." This was said smilingly. He complained this day of the fall from the litter, although no contusion or abrasion was apparent as the result of the fall. He did not com plain of his wounds ; never spoke of them unless asked. On Sunday evening he slept welL On Monday be was car. ried to Chancellor's house, near Gumess' depot. Hs was cheerful ; talked about the battle, the gallant bearing of General Rhodes, and said that his major-general's commission ought to date from Saturday, the grand charge of his old Stonewall brigade, of which he had heard ; asked after all his of ; during the day talked more than usual, and said, "Men who live through this war will be proud to I was one of the Stonewall brigade ' to their children." He insisted that the term Stonewall belonged to them, sod not to him. During the ride to Guineas he complained greatly of heat, and besides wet applications to his wounds, begged that a wet cloth be applied to his which was done, greatly to his relief, as he il t = it. He slept well on Monday night, and ate with relish the next morning. On Tuesday his wounds were doing very well. He asked, "Oan you tell me, from the appearance of my wounds, how long I will be kept from the field!" He was greatly satisfied when told they were doing remarkably well. He did not lOW plain of any pain in his side, and wanted to see the imsu. ben of his staff, but was advised not. On Wednesday kis wounds looked remarkably welL He expected to go to Richmond this day, but was prevented by rain. This night while his surgeon, who bad slept DODO for three nights, was asleep, he complained of nausea, and ordered his boy Jim to place a wet towel over his stomach. This was done. About daylight the surgeon was awakened by the boy saying, "The Guiana is in great pain." The pain was in the right side, and due to incipient pneumonia and some nervonsneas, which he himself attributed to the fall from the litter. On Thursday Mrs. Jackson arrived, greatly to his joy and satisfaction, and she faithfully nursed him to the end. By Thursday evening all pain had ceased. He suffered greatly from prostration. On Friday he suffered no pain, but prostration increased On Sunday morning, when it was apparent that he was rapidly sinking, Mrs. Jackson was informed of his condition. She then had free and full converse with him, and told him he was going to die. He said :—" Very good ; very good. It is all right" He had previously said :—" I consider theme wounds a blueing. They were given to me for some good and wine purpose. I would not part with them if I could." He asked of Major Pendleton, " Who is preaching at head-quarters to-day?" He sent messages to all the generals. He expressed a wish to be buried in Lexington, lin the valley of Virginia. During delirium his mind re verted to the battlefield, and he sent orders to General A. r P. Hill to prepare for action, and to Major Hawks, his commis eery, and to the surgeons. He frequently expressed to his aides his wish that Major-General Ewell should he ordered to command his corps. His confidence in Gene ral Ewell was very great, and the manner in which he spoke of him showed that he had duly considered the matter. CRICKET. In cricket we have on Monday M.C.C. and Ground v.

UNITED ALL ENGLAND. —This match was resumed yesterday morning at Oxford shortly be fore 12 o'clock, and so good was the bowling and fielding of Christ Church that the numerous spectators were fearful All England would nut be able to seed the former again to the wickets. In this, however, they were disappointed, as the latter, through the excellent play of Hodgson, managed to get three more than the required number. On Christ Church renewing the batting their wickets went down most unusually fast, for when the bell rang for dinner 13 bad retired for 25 rum. and but for the efficient batting of Marrs.

Score :—Christ Church, first innings, 160; second innings, 69. All Eng land, first innings, 63 ; second innings, 37. SURREY " COLTS " V. KENT t o COLTS."—This match was resumed yesterday morning, on the Surrey Ground, Kenniogton Oval, and the weather (as on the o rue day) being very fine, the ground was well at Surrey woo with seven wickets to fall. Some good cricket talent was certainly exhibited in this match ; but at times both sides might have been seen as wild "colts," the bats men struggling for runs, and the others scrambling in the field. To the bowlers (two or three of them) we should advise to try straightness before pace. Among the English horses which are to contend for the great prize of 100,000 fr. at Paris to-morrow, are Lord Clifden and Saccharometer.

We understand that on the occasion of the uncovering of the memorial of the Exhibition of 1851, on the 10th June. the following bands will perform :—Greaadier thumb, Cold stream Guards, Scots Fusilier Guards, 2nd Life Guards, Royal Engineers, and Royal Mariool. Most Guards'robably the arrangement will be as follows. The Bands mil play in the Exhibition Building, the Royal Marines in the ante-garden and centre garden, the Royal Engineers in the Western Band-house, the 2nd Life Guards in the Eastern Barid.houire. The International Dog Show was visited vesier day, the fifth day, by nearly 30,000 persons. Th e notve able feature was an absence of that noise arising from Sr violent barking of the animals which they have uidulged during the earlier days of the show. The reduction of the price of admission from we shilling to sixpence after 1 p.m. this day will probably attract an additional number of visitors.
