LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20. Tar concretion made by °averment to the per sonal scruples of the clergy, in mottling dot no objecting clergyman should be compennitomildnain a remarriage between parties whose adultery been the ground of divorce, went, to say the leant of it, quite far enough. The limitation on this ems& aion, introduced and carried by a very coweiiffieffib majority yesterday morning, pots the whole trtllts on an exceedingly fair footing. By 78 to 33 Wolfing', affirmed the proposition, that when a dergyaftit any parish refuses himself to solemnise a megdarto under the Divorce Bill, it shall not be °impotent for him to reftwe the use of hie church or chapel for the of such marriage by any other clergyman licensed to officiate in the diocese. Nothing can be more just than this. The concession of Teaday night was a concession to a conscientious scruple ; it was a concession made in order to avoid the harshness of compelling a man actively to take part in that to which, on religious grounds, he ob jects. Differing, sa we do, tote emlo, with those by whom the objection is entertained, we entirely concur with the amendment which war introduced to give it effect ; and this on the plain ground that no Government has a right, without paramount ne- ; amity, to enjoin on any portion of its subjects, by law. the performance of ass art which AM= them in the alternative of violating their consciences if they obey the law, or exposing themselves to penalties if they disobey it. But there is obviously a very wide distinction between this relief to the individual clergyman, and a law which should close the doors of the Charlie what those who wish to avail themselves of its sorvicem The Church is instituted, not for the benefit et the clergy alone, bat for the whole assembly of Christi= people who belong to its communion. To confer on any given clergyman the right of refusing the mi nistrations of the Church to any else by law entitled to their benefit, simply bemuse he himself happens le entertain a conscientious sample against ce- Meeting them, would be grossly to miscon ceive the relation of the clergy to the Church, and of the Church to the People. The Church and the services of the Church are not the exclusive patrimony of the priests who minister at the altar, but the common inherit- WOO of that great Christian community for whose spiritual welfare and edification the Church was in stituted and her Berrien appointed. To the peti tioning clergy the language of the Government is this—Religious scruples, you say, preclude yoa from celebrating these marriages which, by a solemn Act of the Legislature, we are declaring to be legal. Very well; we will respect your scruples; we will not compel you to do what you aware as would be in violation of your coneeiencee ; bat you are not the Church—you are only a portion of the officiating servants of the Church, and we are not going to commit the injustice of allowing year mere personal scruples to preclude those whose marriage+ this law sanctions, from having those marriages solemnised, if they so please, according to the rites of the Church, and in whatever ecclesiastical edifies they can procure a clergyman to celebrate them ia. We give you the right of refusing to perform the ceremony yourselves; we will sot cesseede to roadie further right of prohibiting its performance by tithe e, aye, even though the place of its celebratioa should chance to be in the building which by a popular inaccuracy of language you all you► Church, but which in fact, and in law, is not so much yours as it is that of your parishioners.

Of this no more con vincing proof can be given than tho ineressing fre quency with which these courts are resorted to, and the rapid ascendancy that they are gaining throughout the provinces over the Courts of Amite. Trial of divorce canoes by jury before the County Court, held ones a month, would in our opinion have been a much more valuable concession to the needs of the provinces than trial of the same causes once in three months before the magistrates at Quarter Sessions. The clause empowering the husband in certain ' cases to apply to the Divorce Court for damages is in substance to the following effect : The husband on petitioning the court for a divorce is to state whether he desires to have damages assessed against the adulterer or not : if he does ho is to state how he wishes to have them applied— whether to his own use, or for the benefit of his children, or in what other way—the jury to have power, in assessing damages, to direct their applies ' ton as desired. It is not to be denied that cases may easily be conceived in which it would be desir able that a pecuniary amercementshonld be imposed on the seducer of another man's wife ; nor don there appear much objection to the proposition that the injured party should have the right of praying that such amercement should be applied in the manner most beneficial to himself. There is obviously the widest possible distinction between such a modified power of applying for damages as this, and the national opprobrium of the action of crim. con. Through that sordid avenue lay the only approach, for all classes and conditions alike, to any effectual release from the marriage bond. Rich or poor, honourable or mean-spirited, every man who wished to withdraw himself from the yoke of a disho noured union was compelled to weigh the lees of his wife's virtue against an assessed compensation of so many pounds, shillings, and pence. This, at all events, is at an end. Henceforth the man who wants to make merchandise out of his domestic shame will be allowed to gratify his wish on giving notice of his intention. Those who merely desire to break in law, the bond which has already been broken in fact, will be enabled to do so without going through the infamy of having their household wrono put up to the highest bidding of that vile auction— LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCT. (Before Mr. Coamiationer Fans.) IN RE TAM WEL O, II POTOAI LTA!) ANL COPPED MINING COMPANY (LIMITED.)-CUMIZZ OF CONTEMPT OF tollty IT 711/1 PENNT PAPIII2. Thts was tTieneeetitigTosettls the list of shareholders or contributories. It appeare that the court has power to make a call beyond the .mount of the shares, the company not having been registered under the Limited Liability Act, until a few most!), ago, when the bulk of the debts had been cositracted. A list of some .iuty shareholders had been prepared by the ofliehd liquidator and the solicitor conducting the proceedings; and notice had been sent to each of these gentlemen that unlearn calm were shown to the contrary, they would be definitively placed en the list. Meantime this conditional list was published in one of the penny papers, the result being to inflict serious injury on several a the 'Artist concerned. The matter was now brought before the atten bon of the court. Mr. Haniatin, the solicitor under the proceedings, asked that the list might be settled in private, as gre►t evils would result from a public proceeding. Mr. Plows, representing a contributory, who admitted himmlf to be such concurred in this application. A list of supposed contributories bad, somehow or other, found no wa/ into some of the papas, and had done great injury. Mr. Harrison said he u nders tood that eons party attend ing the court had obtained the list mid published it in the could he do that i Harrison Mr . did not know, but a;epublication was calcu lated to do infinite mischief, and waa a very improper pro ceeding. The Commisaioner—l don't know how it can have been done. I have no recollection of ever hating peen such a list of persona liable. Mr. Harrison—lt was put upon the file, in order that the advertiaenost might isms. The Commissioner—What was it a list of Mr. Harrison—Of contributories. The Commissioner—That ia, a list of those whom you insisted were per persona to be plaid on the list of con tributories. I have no recollection of any such document being tendered to me at all. Mr. Harrison—lt was not tendered to you, but was merely brought here and filed with the proceedings. The Commissioner—lt seems to have been a little irregular to filo it with the proceedings at all before some COW . ..MIL/Ct. tion had been made to the parties. Would the Master in Chancery have allowed such a proceediingl I should like to see this document. (It was handed up.) Mr. Harrison—l followed the practice which bee been hitherto adopted in Chancery. The Commissioner—l see the form is for the gentleman who acts as solicitor to the official liquidator to make oath and say " that the schedule hereunto annexed contains list of persona whom he thinks are contributories" TtAt certainly is not a document which ought to have been ',t. nee of by the press, without application being mad., to the court. . . _ - Harrison—l must do the justice to sorer of the regular par", to say that they stated tb.,, fact of a ltd having been prepared, but refrained from swing the names, on the ground that such publication wou'.a b e Mr flews—l don't think that the 'list was publi,htd to any of the regular papers, only in s' me of the irregular one —the penny ones. (It may be viell here to state that the publication complained of was reply made in one of the penny papers, which has no regular representative in this court, but obtains its information from a class of potions known es " Seers," who are without responsibility for Vaat they write. The evil mime from allowing sues person. to have access to the records of the cm..rt. In this cue, there is reason In believe that the list wee obtained surreptitimuly, without the know tele of any Une connected with the court.) The Consmiaaioner—Unlere complete secrecy is refereed, both by the Coot and by those having the conduct of the pro ceedings, there is nothing to prevent such • puble mien. Mr. Harrison, I always understood the rule of the meet to I be that no person should see those proceedings. The Commissioner—So it is, and if say application had been made, I should certainly have mined it. Still that who prepared the document could just as well have tem mumeated it. Mr. Harrison—l am quite sure it was not communicated by me ; and it was prepared by me. The Commissioner—Well, there is no help for this now. Mr. Herrison—l only drew your attention to it, in order that it may not occur again. The Commissioner—That seems to assume that it has been through this court that it her been obtained. Mr. Harrison—lt could not have been obtained elsewhere. There must have been some negligence on the part of !owe of your offieers. Mr. Pleas—l do not suggest anything of the kind. I believe it to be obtained surreptitiously, by some person not attending the court as the regular recognised reporter of 1114 W per. The Comminioner—l ern convinced that it has been got without the officer of the court being put on his guard by being asked for perminion to look at such a document. Mr. Whitehead (the registrar) very pro perly reminds me that there is a means of checking Imperil. sent curiosity, which might be very effectually resorted to in these eases. The rules of the court require that s party who wishes to search any proceedings shall pay a shilling for doing so. It is the duty of the officers to Mdst on thin pay ment ; and I should think this would bee temidable objec tion to the else of parties referred to. (Lan .ghter.) Mr. Harrison—l will mention the ones I now propene to adopt. This list has been filed ; there are upwards of sixty names on it. Every person whose nacre is on the list has been served with node. of this meeting and that his name has been put upon the list fee • certain num ber of shuns. Whet I propose Is, that the meeting shall be taken in private in another court, and that etch name shell bo called over sepa rately. If the party does not appear, then, upon produchen of some evidence that he is a shareholder, or holds shares, his name shall be put upon the list then and than. Where there Is a dispute as to the liability or the number of shares, the question may be submitted to your Honour. The Commissioner—When you bring forward any name, ' you must show that the party has received notice. Mr. Harrison--That I done by affidavit, as affidavit I in accordance with the practice of the Court of Chancery, and I the notices have been sent in accordance with that practice. The notice of this meeting has also been advertised is the Goaelie, and in the daily papers. The Commiesioner-1 think those are all the precaution. which it is necessary to take. Mr. Plows—On the part of the shareholder whom I re present, as soon as the list has been gone through and settled, It will be my duty to ask for en investigation into the circumstances under which, out of 20,000 share advertised as being issued, only 13,000 appear on the list. Ws wish to know what has become of the other 7 000 sharesolse why the parties ventured to com mence hmilmmseni Is upend 20,0001. or 30,0001., without having dr prqsranommt of capitol paid up. The Ossmialenar—ls it required by the law of joint stock emonnien, ghee Weiner shall not be commenced without mum of the shares being taken up? rlawo—ln the prospectus it is stated that the multei tall be 100,0001. divided into 20,000 shares. The Ouneniasioner—Then you waked that it would be incomiddat with the prospect's' to commence with a capita of 93,111M1. Mr. Piers—Not only the prospectus; I also refer to the deed of settlement t f the company. This is a comma, ertablished on what is called the cost-book system; and I shall show . that great mischief has been caused by th eir not following out that principle. Upon that spine the purser of the company is required to ley before the slum holders, at the commencement of each month, an estimate al the coat of working the company for the ensuing month, and that amount is then to be provided. The Commissioner—lt is on the ready money Mhos, then P Mr. Flews—Yes ; that is the true principle of the con book system. That principle has been wholly diertearded is this case, and the shareholders have been secritii-ed west fright fully. 1 shall ask your Hamer (for you bare the power 0) do it) to throw the consequences of this mismanagement ea than who have been the anthers of it. The Commissioner—Very well ; that will be a matter for further consideration, At present, I think the best course for all interested, will be to go into the other court, and as soon as you come to some point on whip h there is • difference of opinion, let WC know, and I will decide it ter the best of my ability. The petite then retired, and the composition of the list was diseased in private. IN NE 1141: LIAITINON OLD DANN.

The Queen of England arrived yesterday before Cherbourg and was saluted by the batteries of the coast. The municipality of Havre hope that her Majesty may visit their port before returning home, and in the expectation of that event considerable preparations have been made for her reception. Pilots are in readiness to proceed to the roadstead in case the royal yacht should require any mist moo. General Windham has arrived in Pula ou his way to Marseilles, to embark for India. Rear-Admiral Clavaud, who has just been ap pointed to the command of the French squadron in the Levant, vice Rear-Admiral Count Bonet Willattmes, will leave Toulon about the lath September on board thea vino Solon for the Pincus, where he will hoist his flag on board the Pomona—the present admiral's frigate. The squadron of evolution, commanded by Vice- Admiral Trchouart, put out to sea from Toulon yesterday. . . . . The Bourse continues dull, with remarkably little business doing. The Rents closed at yesterday's price, 67fr. bc. for cash, and 67h. (with a fall of 154.) foe account. Mobilier fell 7fr. 60e. Railways were extremely heavy. Lyons and Southern fell from 10fr. to 12fr.; and the other lines from 2fr.Boe. to Sfr. A popular bat scurrilous biographer of living celebrities, M. hquot, who assumes the name of De 31irecourt, and who has been cast in actions for libel oftener, probably, than any writer extant, has again been unlucky to-day. The proprietor and editors of the Constitutionnel have fired a volley at him with deadly effect. For a libel upon M. Mires, he is sentenced to eight months' imprisonment, a flue of 2,000 fr., and 20,000 fr. damages. His free doms with M. Boniface are punished by one month's imprisonment, 200 fr. fine, and 600 fr. damages. The young and brilliant redacteur of p lea , M. rrecost r arum, wnose liberal prin must make a press prosecution a matter of the last resort to him, hu also obtained a sentence against M. de Hirecourt of one month's imprisonment, 200 fr. tine, and 300 fr. damages. A coalissitr of the Bourse, M. Joseph Colon, was yesterday sentenced to two months' imprisonment for spreading false news. The Daily News was wired yesterday for the leading article on Ledru Rollin; and the Daily News and Express were seized to-day on account of Signor Campanella's letter. The Opinions of Turin was also seized to-day, 1 know not for what reason. In continuation of the improvements of Paris, the unsightly houses in front of the Theatre Francai s are about to be taken down, and the demolition' will, it is said, comprise the whole of the Rue Jeannisson, the =wholesome Passage Guillaume, and one side of the Rue de la Fontaine The announcement of this great clearance has re- vived an idea which was ventilated in the Chamber of Deputies twenty years ago, of the erection in Paris of a statue of Joan of Arc. The project was abandoned partly from financial reasons, and partly because no eligible site for the statue could be Sued upon. The latter objection will now be removed in a very especial manner, for the space about to be thrown open in the heart of the city was in Joan of Arc's time outside Paris, and was the spot then used as a pig market, on the hillock of St. Hoch, on which she encamped when besieging the town, then in possession of the English. A legend tells that, being resolved to order an assault, bat being uncertain u to the quantity of water in the ditch of the fortifications, she came early one maiming, accompanied by Signeur de Rats, as far as the St. Honore Gate, which was situated just about the place on which stood the recently demolished Cs& de la Regency. There she took soundings with the handle of her long lance. She was perceived by the English, who from behind the walls sent a shower of arrows, one of which wounded her in the thigh and brought her to the ground. It is on the spot where she fell that it is proposed to erect the statue. A great crowd of petsons, very many of than foreigners, have visited the Dew Louvre daring the last two days, the promenades under the covered galleries being all open to the public. At night the whole is brilliantly lit up. PIEDMONT. The Marquis Pallavicini, whose recent appoint ment as syndic of Genoa has been cited u cvideneo of the reconciliation of government with the princi pality, has declined the office on the plea of ill health.
