ALFRED Pools has obtained from the Court of Queen's Bench a role, calling on the Arch bishop of CANTERECRT to show cause why a Map dimos should not issue, commanding him to make inquiry into the matter of Mr. PooLea appeal, to hear the said appeal, and decide on the merits thereof. In less technical language, the Court of Queen's Bench has consented to allow the point to be solemnly argued, whether the ARCHBISHOP MScr has not legally and properly entertained the a pp ea l which Mr. Pools presented* his Grace against the decision of the Bishop of presented* The case when stripped of all irrelevancies and reduced to its strict legal bearings, appears to lie in a sufficiently narrow compel. It turns on certain admitted facts and on the construction of two clauses (the 98th and 111th) of the lffinralities and Clergy Residence Act of 1838 (the 1 and 2 Vic., c. 108). The facts necessary to the elucidation of the owe may be very briefly recapitulated. In the course of last March the Ron. and Rev. F. Beam; commu nicated to the Bishop of LONDON certain statements, with the nature of which we are all sufficiently, and more than sufficiently, familiar, touching the practice of confeesion at Bt. Barnabu, ae carried on by Mr. Foote. Immediately on the receipt of this communication the BISHOP wrote to Mr. Pools informing him of the nature of the complaint made, intimating the necessity of an in vestigation, and requesting an early calL Mr. POOLE called accordingly, and the complaint was commu nicated to him. This informal interview was speedily followed by others, and also by written communications, to which it is needle's to advert, I until, on the 18th of May last, the BISHOP issued a formal citation, in which Mr. POOLE had the option given him of showing cause in person, within four days from that time, why his license should not be revoked, unless he preferred, before the expiration of the four days, " to show cause in writing." Mr- Poou., as most of our readers will recollect, pre ferred to justify himself in writing, and, on the 21st of May, sent to the Btsaoe a written statement containing, it is f►ir to pregame, the best explanation that he could offer in explanation or denial of the Impated offence. Upon that letter the BISHOP pro ceeded, and not being satisfied with the defence or explanation set up, revoked Mr. PooLs'e license. This was on the 25th of May. Mr. Foots in doe course appealed to the ARCHBISHOP against this decision. He gave the required secu rity for costs, and submitted a petition in which he prayed his Grace to appoint • time for hesring the appeal, to sit judi cially for the purpose, and to allow the presence of counsel and the vied voce examination of witnesses. To the prayer of this petition no atten tion was paid : the Ananeftor, on inquiring into the matter of the appeal, proceeded upon the mate rials which were before him in the shape of the original charge, the subsequent corn , "'pendent*, Mr. Pooee's written defence, and the BISHOP'S revocation of the Bemuse. The ARCHBISHOP, acting upon these materials, came to the conclusion that the judgment of the BISHOP was erfectly correct, sod accordingly, dismissing the appeal, confirmed the revocation of the license. The counsel for Mr. POOLE contended yesterday that the Aacnnisnor in thus acting had, in point of fact, not heard the appeal at all, sad in point of law had pronenaced no decision, inasmuch as the appellant had had no opportunity of being heard. Now, whether this be so or not appears, u already Intimated, to turn upon the true construction of two clauses in the Act of 1 and 2 Vie., c. 108—the 90th and the 111th. The first of there two clauses—the 98th—is that which regulates the Bishop's power to revoke the license and remove the curate, subject to an appeal to the Archbishop ; it provides " that " the bishop shall have power, after having given " to the curate sufficient opportunity of show " ing meson to the contrary, to revoke sionnwseily and without further process any license granted to " any earate, and to remove such curate for any cause whieh shall appear to neeh bishop to be good ▪ and reasonable : provided always that any carats " may, within one month after service upon him of " each revocation, appeal to the Archbishop of the " province, who shall confirm or annul such revoca " Lion, as to him shall seem just and proper." Such are the very words of the clause under which the Bishop acts, in revoking licenses and removing curates. There is no prescribed form of pro cedure ; the only condition precedent to the exercise of the Bishop's power is that, before proceeding to revoke the license, he " shall have given the curate sufficient opportunity "of showing reason to the contrary;" if he has done this, then the power of revocation and removal may he brought into play at once, "summarily and " without further process." Ou this part of the case, then, the only question would appear to be, whether the Bishop of LONDON gave Mr. POOLE . 4 sufficient opportunity of showing reason to the " contrary " before he revoked his license. Tea answer seems abundantly clear. The BISHOP gave Mr. Pane that "opportunity of showing " reason to the contrary" which Mr. POOLE himself chose. Had he elected to do so, he "ei g ht have appeared before the Blenor in person : he preferred to make his defence in writing. The proposition is, of course, too clear for argument, that BO man can complain of not having bad suffi cient opportunity of defending himself, when he has I had that precise opportunity which he has himself selected in preference to any other. Indeed, it does not appear that much reliance was placed on the objection that there had not been a sufficient hearing before torus Rislwp ; the main con tention was that the appeal had not been properly heard before the Archbishop. In order to appre ciate the form of this argument, it is neonsary to turn to the 111 th clause of the Act. That clause, after providing that the appellant, if required, shall give security fee onto, proceeds to enact " that " after such security, if required, shall have been • ghee, the said Archbishop shall forthwith, either "by himself or by some oomminioner or commis " slaws appointed under his hand from among the " ether Bishops of his province, make or rause to be ti made inquiry into the matter complained of, and " ahall,aftersuch inquiry, and in the latter case after " a report in writing from his said 00111ZIDSSIORST or eceeraissionent give his decision on such lip " peal in writing under his own hand :" the clause farther provides that when the Archbishop "shall dead, the merits of the " appeal," either against or in favour of the appellant, he shall award oasts accordingly. Now, it will be observed, that in this clause, as in the 98th, no kind of specific or formal procedure is directed. As the ARCHBISHOP did not appoint commissioners, bat acted in the matter him self, all the words introduced into the clause with reference to a proceeding by commissioners must be discarded. This being done, what is the bare text of the law? Simply this—that the ARCHBISHOP is directed, on security for costs being give; " forthwith to make inquiry into the matter " complained of." That is really all : the letter of the law gives no other direction : I not a word about the mode in which the inquiry im to be conducted ; nothing to fetter the absolute discretion of the Archiepiscopal mind. Well, then, how stood the case? There was Mr. BARING'S complaint ; the correspondence that en sued ; Mr. Pootx's letter to the BISHOP, showing awe splint the revocation of his license ; the Manor's answer ; the formal act of revocation ; sad Mr. POOLE'S notice of appeal against the BISHOP'S decision. These were the materials before the Atcnursnor. The "matter can plained of " was the incorrectness of the BISHOP'S decision on the evidence laid before him. This was what the ARCHBISHOP had to inquire into—this, and nothing else. lie was not to go into new evidence; that is never the province of an appellate tri- , banal. The single point before an appellate tribunal is this : has or has not the in ferior tribunal pronoluioed a wrong judgment on the materials brought before it ? In this case the question was, Did the Bishop of LONDON give Mr. Pont, sufficient opportunity of showing canes against the revocation of the license ; and did he revoke that license on good and reasonable grounds ? To this the ARCHBISHOP confined himself : this was the matter to which he limited his inquiry. It is contended by Mr. PooLes advisers that the ARCHBISHOP ought to lave gone further than this—that he ought to have instituted an altogether new inquiry, and proceeded, as prayed in Mr. PooLE's petition, is investigate the whole matter afresh in a judicial sitting, after hearing counsel and witnesses on both Rides. This is the point which the Court of Queen's Bench has put in train for being further argued. It is a point which it will probably be exceedingly difficult for the most practised ingenuity to esta blish in face of the admitted facts of the case and the discreet ambiguity of the Statute Law. TIM General Meeting of Shipowners in London is announced for the 15th proximo, and they are to take into consideration " the present ruinous " oondition of the Shipping Interest," which, so far es we can, we shall help them to elucidate. If they will only be frank they will be able on this subject to give the public very correct information without any assistance. We admit that of all the great in terests of the Empire the shipowning interest is at present amongst the least prosperous. The records of the Court of Bankruptcy have made us acquainted with this fact. Not very long ago a shipowner of Liverpool, by the name of OLIVER, was brought too prominently under public notice by enormous speculation in shipping for the public to forget him. He had made himself the nominal owner of many thousand tons of shipping, but they were pledged and mortgaged to a vast amount, and when it became necessary on the part of his creditors to wind up his affiirs, the valise of his ships—though this was before there wee any de. i cleosion in trade, and while there was a prodigious demand for shipping—was found to be enormously over-estimated. His suspension led to the suspen sion of other persons connected with the shipping interest, and disclosed a scheme of gigantic trading on credit, money being borrowed by mortgaging skips before they were well purchased, such as had rarely if ever before infected this once substantial and sound business. Since the memorable ems of Mr. Ouven, the case of Mr. HUMPIINIT BROWN, and the case of Mr. WALTON, both con nected with shipping and both connected with the Royal British Bank, have further made the peculiar condition of some shipowners known to the public, land have already convinced it of the existence of that ruinous state of things which the shipowners are to take into consideration. The public need not to be inilsrmed of the fact, nor is it, from such examples, without a tolerably clear conviction of the manner is which it has been brought about. To make it perfectly clear, it is only necessary for the ship , owners to inform the public how much of their pro perty has been mortgaged, perhaps even beyond its present value, to enable them to acquire more ships —how much of the 818,250 tons of shipping built in the last three years was built on credit and remains to be paid for—and what is the de preciation in the value of shipping occasioned by the combined effects of such a large addition to the *apply, and such a large falling off in the demand as ensued from the collapse of speculative trade in 1857. Before the pablie can be expected to aequiesce in demands for new restrictive laws on behalf of shipowners, it is entitled to have all this information laid before it, and if the shipowners will only be candid on these subjects we will promise them at least the commiseration of the public. At the Shields meeting Mr. LIDDELL suggested to the shipowners that their distmes was mainly canoed by the eagerness with which every owner of one ship, in eonseqsenee of the inoreased demand for shipping, had hastened to build another. He be lieved that " mortgaged ships" and " hypothecated "cargoes" showed on what unsound principles ship owners had acted. Like the landlords net long ago, they have grasped after so large a quantity of the instruments of gain, that they have left themselves without floating capital, and are hampered with debts. They would be more effectually relieved accordingly by an Encumbered Shipping Act, thea by imposing a tax on the consumer. This latter, however, as was Intimated by another speaker at that meeting, is what the shipowners really aim at, alleging in excuse of their modest wish, that the amount of tax would be so trilling as not to be felt by the individual consumer. This argument is exactly that of the landlords who counted up all the loaves made from a quarter of wheat and demonstrated that each consumer only paid • sm. frooden of a farthing an a lod, ami could not Ild a tax which gave vitality and prapperity to our egrioulture. Hew much that little fractfon of a farthieg on each men's loaf diminished the national Weihre nobody ought now to know better than the shipotner, and yet he would repeat the injustice which, meaning only to enrich a thoughtless class, gave a deadly blow to the general prosperity. Between the actual existence of "a ninons condi " tion of the shipping interest," and the " unfair . 1 and injurious position in which the British ship " owner is placed from foreign States not having re ciprocated the benefits to which their navigation " has been admitted by the repeal of the Nay*- " lion Laws "—though united in one sentence in the proposition which the shipowners are to take into consideration—the public does not see a very close connexion. All the injury that can possibly have accrued to the shipowners by the want of the reciprocity, is • participation in the coasting and other trade of the non-reciprocating countries. How very email would be the advantage they would gain by the coasting trade, we pointed oat on the 11th inst., and were pleased to see our view confirmed, and by more elaborate statistics, in the Economist. of the 13th. Nor can we believe—in spite of Mr. Gesennow's assertion to the contrary, that our shipping troffers much from the want of reciprocity with France in the foreign trade, when we know that the bulk of the passenger and goods traffic between London and Liverpool on the one hand, and Calais, Boulogne, and Havre on the other, is carried on by English vessels, while he has informed us that one coals are carried to France in our own ships. Whatever may be the amount of this disadvantage, it has existed as to foreign trade since 1849, and as to the coasting trade since 1833 ; and when we now bear complaints aris ing for the first time after an enormous increase in our shipping in every year since 1849, and after a collapse in speculative fret's, we can only suspect that the want of reciprocity is put forward by the shipowners to hide their own want of prudence. We cannot, therefore, promise the shipping interest any public support for its project to get an increased share of the trade of other countries, by excluding foreign shipping from our own trade. Already trade abroad, like trade at home, has, in proportion,l more ships than goods ; freights are as low compa ratively at New York—half the usual sum for a barrel of flour—as they are at Calcutta; and any renewed restrictions here similar to those which exist abroad can only lessen trade and lessen the employment of ships, to the further injury of the shipping interest. Since the abolition of restrictions on our trade, it has been wonderfully enlarged. But the trade of Austria and Spain, as we showed the other day, has enlarged, proportionably, more and faster than our own trade. This is the case too with the trade of some other ooantries. The abolition of restriction here actually enlarged trade abroad. Very few or none of our merchants will be foolish enough to ask be the re-enactment of restrictions and high tariffs hare, because the trade of Auitria and Spain has in messed more than our own trade, while restriction and high tariffs are not got rid of in those coantriea They are obviously impediments to still more rapid improvements, and this characteristic would not be changed by their being imposed here. Oar shipovrnere—unlike our merchants—because the enlargement of general trade has increased the quantity of foreign shipping in our porta, would re-enact impediments to trade. Calling their selfish ness a " patriotic mad comprehensive view," they go so far, at least Mr. Onsritetow did in their name and in our columns on the lath instant, as to praise the sagacity of the French Enwenos in opening the trade in grain when it was required for the wants of France, and shutting it when those wants are sup plied. They prefer, therefore, that trade should be regulated by an individual despot to leaving it free. They like the old ministerial or parliamentary discretion of opening the ports when crops are short, and closing them when harvests are plentiful. They would rather have uncertainty and arbitrary power for the whole trade of the country than cer tainty and the regular laws of supply and demand. We willingly admit that the shipping interest though subservient to the still greater and more ge neral interest of interchange, is essential to the well being of society and the safety of the country ; we would willingly urge the publics, therefore, to assist the shipping interest in getting rid of all fiscal and other impediments to its success; but the moral in terests of freedom are greater and more important than even shipping or interchange ; and we can only laugh to scorn the men who in the name of patriotism would subject the whole business of society to " the sagacity " of an irresponsible Ruler. It is not true that Lord Napier, Minister to the United States, has been in any way eetunired or super seded by his government. The feet, we understand, is that his lordship has been promoted Minister Pleni potentiary to the Court of Berlin. (mom tare moires assires.)

The president of the tribunal will be M. Berthelin, ens of the vioe-presi dents of the Inferior Court, called the Tribunal de premiers instaacc He will be assisted by M. Benoit, a puisne judge of the same court, and by M. Nacquart, a supplementary judge (jugs *up pleant). lam happy to say that I know nothing whatever of any or either of these gen tlemen personally, and therefore I feel the less difficulty in making the legitimate observation that tulless they are angels rather than men ne man prosecuted by the government can reasonably expect to receive justice at their hands. The salary of Mr. Vice-President Berthelin is 2801. a year, that of his colleague, M. Benoit, is 2401., and the jugs suppliant, M. Nacquart, is an apprentios judge, who receives no pay whatever. If Count de Montalembert should be acquitted, M. Berthelin, who possibly may be a middle-aged man with a large family, knows well that he can never expect to be promoted to the bench of the " Imperial Court." M. Benoit also mast either concur in a verdict of guilty, or resign himself to remain all his life an inferior judge with 2401. a year, and M. Naoquart, the aspirant, may try his " 'prentios hand " at ad ministering justice till he grows grey, without ever tasting the sweets of carter -day. Such is the con stitution of the tribunal invented by the government of the coup d'etat for securing the oondemnation of all obooxioas writers in the press. There is, it is true, a court of appeal, bat the appeal lies not to any fixed bench of judges, but to a commission of seven, selected from a vast number on account of their subserviency. It is therefore not to be wondered at that, although the opinion is uni versal among lawyers that there is nothing in M. de Montalembert's article in the Correspondant which by any possibly legal argument can be tortured into a breach of any clause in the code, nobody doubts for an instant that he will be found guilty. Probably the sentence will not be heavy. The forms of the society in which they move will prevent the judges from being very severe. They doubtless feel a sympathy for the man, but, as Peachum says to Locket, " they must provide for their families." • de Montalembeat's present intention is not to speak himself. lie is, in the first place, far from well, and his medical advisers enjoin him to avoid excitement. Moreover, MM. Berryer and Dermas in consultation expressed an opinion that the dry legal merits of the cane were so entirely with them that it would be wise not to adopt an aggressive line of defence, and they recommend M. de Monts lambert to stifle his feelings, and leave the defence entirely to them. I hear that the Jewish Consistory of Paris, after an Interview with M. de Royer and M. Rowland, the ministers of justice and public instruction, have resolved to institute a prosecution against the thaws for its libels upon their community.
