They felt thankful for the ,T.l, in which the conference of bishops at Lambeth re !,.,tned all those truths which Dr. Colenso hal attacked, -.t they also felt that until, by some synodical action of • -• .hurch, it became patent to the world that one who ,d Lehi such doctrines had heart condemned by a mart of the church, the church itself must be in , grvat danger, and that they themselves, for their own , iv, ought to make this public protest of their renun a'loll of such errors, and also of communion with the .‘u who had given utterance to them.

This was a petitioiif;;" .. the confirmation of s sc.l erne of arrangement with croditors under "'rho ltailway Companies Act, 18137," filed by the Bristol and North 1 4 omerset Railway Company on the 23rd Novell bor bud. The scheme recited that the com pany laving powor to raise capital to the amount et 27r/,0001.,. in 13,750 shares, had allottod only 1304 shores, had usued for the purchase of land and other iiebte 365 fully paid up shares, and had "irregularly d or registered in the names of porAons as share li. hats," 11,;1o2 fully paid up shares, leaving 3,02 d Khania mi...

The t(enpany to have power to raise on mortgage or bond 150.1A0/., and no more, at 6 per cent. ; and the powers ( f issuing shares and of borrowing above proposed to be exercised under the Companies Act, 1891, "in restitu tion for" the issue of shares and borrowing under the sjecial acts. Mr. Caldccott, for the company, supported the scheme. Fle explained that all the directors by whom the " irregu laiities" had been committed, were dead, or had become bankrupt, or had made assignments, and this was brought forward by the present board as the only mode of securing anything to the creditors. Re argued that the debenture holders and outside creditors who appeared had no loon (damn, inasmuch as they wore not affected, and hence their consent to the scheme was not necessary. Mr. Everitt, for creditors interested under the elegit of Piercy and Fraser, supported the scheme, subject to cer tain amendments. Messrs. Kay, Q.C., and Renshaw, Dolce, Q.C. and Fleming, Martineau and Lindley, for various creditors, also gave a qualified assent. Mr. De (lex, Q.C., and Mr. Gardiner, for two large de benture holders, opposed the scheme out and out. The Vice-Chancellor (without hearing them) said, if there were any parties who opposed, he must give judgment. The result ot thc propoeedarrangement wouldbeto turn creditors into more shareholders, and to deprive them of their secu rities. Now what the Lord Chancellor Cairns had said in the Cambrian Railways case (Law Reports, ch. 3, app. 296) was as conclusive as could be, " that he could not read the act as giving it any force or validity, much less the force of an enact ment, as against outside creditors, that is, general credi tors or unpaid landowners. The persons against whom it was to have effect were those assenting to it or bound by . it, that is, those who had actually speed to it, or those who were declared by the pre vious lectures to be bound; in other words, the majority and the minority of the various classes who,e votes were to be taken. These dicta were perfectly plain, and his Honour had no hesitation 111 saying that he could not consider the act as binding any outside creditors without their consent. The petition must therefore be refused with costs, to be paid by the directors, but he should allow no costs of creditors who had not put in au appearance. The assenting creditors might waive their costs, but that must be out of court. Mr. W. Pearson appeared for creditors who had not put in an appearance. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. After Term Nisi Prius Sittings at Guildhall.—(Before Mr. Justice Lush and a Common Jury.) WOLP V. LORD RIVERS. This was an action for a bill of exchange for 1201. When the jury were called several members of the Jewish persuasion answered to their names, and went Into the box, upon which the defendant's counsel took the un usual course of challenging them, the plaintiff being a member of that body. The jury retired from the box and were again called, and on the first Jew answering to his name he was challenged ; but upon his lordship stat ing that reuse must be shown the challenge was with drawn, and the jury was composed and sworn as in the first instance. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Rempe, were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Huddlinton, Q.C., and Mr. Cole ridge, for the defendant. Mr. Hawkins, in stating the case, said the plaintiff ninny years; since carried on the business of an army agent in Bond-street, and now lived retired at Clifton-gardens, Maids-bill, and this action was brought to recover the value of a bill of exchange for one month for 1201., drawn by Captain Charles Pugh, and accepted by defendant, who was then Colonel Horace Pitt. Thedefendanthadpleadod six pleas, and amongst them the statute of limitations. After the bill became due Captain Pugh made an arrange ment with his creditors, and the defendant kept out of the way until he came to the title and estates by the death of the late Lord Rivers. Application was then made for ,1 payment, and a correspondence took place upon which the plaintiff relied on a written promise to pay which took it out of the statute of limitations. The plaintiff was called. Ho deposed that the bill was drawn by Captain Pugh, and accepted by Colonel Pitt. He gave 1001. for the bill, 931. cheque, which was paid, and 71. for a warrant of attorney, as collateral security which bad since been lost. I think I handed the cheque to Captain Pugh, who after wards applied to the Insolvent Court ; he owed me 2001. exclusive of this bill, of which I was paid 401. I never beard or saw anything of Lord Rivers until he succeeded to the title and the estates. Cross-examined by Mr. Huddleston—l cannot swear that I handed the cheque to Mr. Abrahams, ray then at torney, who handed it over to Captain Pugh. Mr. S. B. Abrahams—l was acting as the plaintiffs attorney in 1853. I have a very indistinct recollection of what took place relative to this transaction. I find an entry in my book of the 931. I have an entry of 51. Le. for the warrant of attorney, but no particulars of it. I believe I paid the cheque to Captain Pugh. The correspondence between the attorneys was put in and read, upon which Mr. Justice Lush said there was no evidence to take the ease out of the statute of limitations. Mr. Iluddheton said that Lord Rivers had no part of the money. If be bad had any portion of it ho would have felt himself bound to pay it, notwithsboul;ug the statute of limitations. A ver dict was then entered for the defendant. POLICE COURTS.-(THIS DAY.) MANSION 1101JSE. DARING VAN ROBBERY. James Lang, aged 55, was this morning brought up on remand before the Lord Mayor, charged with stealing 182 yards of black silk, value 271. Mr. Beard, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution. On Monday last week a van belonging to Means. &holes, earners, Cripplegate-buildinga, London-wall, was standing in Dread-street between 2 and 3 in the afternoon, and the prisoner was in the act of stealing from it a parcel containing two pieces of black silk, whim he was observed by the van-boy, who rained an alai in. The prisoner was then pursued and captured, and he gave up a piece of paper, saying that was his authority for taking the 'street. A metropolitan police-officer was now in atterahmee, and deposed that the prisoner was sentenced to 18 months' fur burglary, at the Central Criminal Court in June, 1861. It was also stated that there wore other convictions against him, which would be proved on his trial. The Lord Mayor committed him for trial at the Central Criminal Court. ITARLBOROtiCII-STMEET.

Mr. Harper, from the office of Mr. Froggatt, appeared for the defence. Andrew Shaw, a bookbinder, living at No. 6, Dyers% buiMings, Holborn, mid that on Saturday afternoon ho went with a companion named May to the St. George's Baths in Davies-street, and on leaving the water he saw Toomey holding the curtain of the place where they had left their clothes, and Brodriek lifting all the poeketsof the clothes, and he afterwards missed a half-crown. He spoke to the prisoners and they offered to let him search their clothes, but after ho had searched Brodriek's trousers Bredriek said he should search no more of his clothes, and that if they were searched at all it should he done at the station. He then spoke to the superintendent of the' baths, and the primuers were given into custody, and a half-crown was found in one of the prisoner's boots. W. Woods, an attendant at the baths, said that the prhouers came in on Saturday, and as a precaution from being robbed handed him the money to take rare of, and after being in the water a few minutes the prosecutor came down and complained of being robbed. Broderick mid he had no money about him sad that all he had had he had given to him (witness). Brodriek denied having the hal-crown, and on a constable taking off his boots he found • half-crown in 'XPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, iTtrNg 29, 1868. 011 r of them, upon which Brodrick said ho did not know it wee there, or how it came there. In answer to Mr. Harper, the witness said that a notice wee posted, cautioning persons that robberies had been committed, and it was the custom of persons to give up their property to be taken care of by the official of the bath, but it was optional. The prisoners wished the case dealt with by the magis trate, and Mr. Tyrwhitt thereupon committed Brodriok for a month, and aischiir g ml Toomey, al the evidence was but slight against him. SOUTHWARK. BINGULAU CHARMS OP UORBART. Amelia Dunbar and Italia Taylor, who stated that they worked at a furrier's, were brought before Mr. But-them charged with stealing a purse and about seven shillings and threepence from Thomas Beacham, a aid) driver on the railway cab-stand at London-bridge.

In answer to the magistrate, witness said ho was per curt ly :ober at the time, and had not spoken to the pri s4riels or any other females prior to his going to sloop. He ne cur allowed any of them to take liberties with Lim. '1 he prisoners said they worked at a furrier's, and had 110 01,0,0 M to thieve. '('hey were pawing the incline of the railway when they saw a number of females pulling the raloccutor about. They stood for a minute or so to look on, when the prosecutor suddenly jumped up and called out he was robbed. The constables then came up, and as they (the prisoners) were walking away they were given into custody. Mr. Burcham committed them for trial. BETTING IN LONDON.--(THIS DAY.) 2.30 P.M. A large amount of business was got through again to-day, chiefly on the Goodwood Stakes, for which Gomera continued to be in extraordinary request, being backed at prices ranging from 6 to 1 to 7 to 2, some 6001. or 7001. being laid out at the last-named figure. So entirely did the mare monopolise favouritism, that 100 to 7 was offered, " bar one," these odds being accepted in favour of Papillon, EcartE, and Romping Girl. The other horses mentioned were only supported for a little. The wagering on the Good wood Cup and St. Leger was destitute of any particular feature.

There was only a small supply of English wheat car sale here to-day, but, owing to the improved accounts of the gmwing crops, the trade ruled very dull. A few selected parcels were taken off at about last Monday's prime, but inferior parcels were neglected, and, to have effected sales, fully Is. leas money must have been ac cepted. The transactions were on a very limited scale. Of foreign wheat the show was extensive and in good condition, but the demand was very inactive at about ls. lees money to lOU. Barley was steady in value and demand for both grind ing and distilling qualities. The malt trade ruled extremely quiet, but no change took place in prices: There was a good show of oats on the stands. Sound qualities changed hands at 6d. per quarter loss money on the week, and inferior parcels were Is. per quarter cheaper. - - Beane were inactive, but late rates were nominally un altered. _ _ _ I'm' were a slow male on former terms. The flour trade was very inactive, and both foreign and country marks were unaltered in value. Town-made qualities changed hands slowly at the Lite reduction. The arrivals of VI3MCIS off the omit have boon heavy, and the flouting-grain-cargo-trade has consequently ruled (lull, at declining rates. Wheat has given way 6d. to ls. on the week, and speculators appear very cautious in nix luting. In (ergots on pa (sage, very few transactions have been reputed.

PLAYERS. The sixty-fourth anniversary of the match between the amateur and professional talent of England commenced at Lord's at 12.20 to-day. Both elevens played very strong, the gentlemen having the " pull " in:the batting, and the players in the bowling department. Mantle played instead of Griffith, who, as reported at last week, is suffering from a sprained ankle. The weather was again gloriously fine, and there was a fair attendance when play commenced. The gentlemen won the toss, and their captain (Mr. V. E. Walker) selected Dr. Grace and Mr. B. B. Cooper to inaugurate the batting, the players' bowling being entrusted to Wootton (pan lion end) and Silcock. Ten runs were made for the most part by Mr. Cooper, when Dr. Grace " played " a ball which rebounded f rom the wicket-keeper, and knocked off his bails, and being outside his crease he was run out. Mr. W. G. Grace followed. Tin= co' ewer. The batsmen got so firmly " set," and scored so rapidly, that Willsher went on bowling vice Wootton, and Grundy took Silcock's place. At the end of an hour 75 runs were recorded, and when 92 had been booked, Mr. Cooper was cleaned bowled by the Kentish man, after playing a very superior defensive innings. Grundy next bowled Mr. Buller and Mr. Mitchell had his wicket shot down by Windier. Mr. W. G. Grace was in tremendoua hitting form ; he got three fours off an over of Grundy's. The latter bowled Mr. H. A. Richardson, and Lillywhite, who took the ball from Wilkher at 134, clean bowled Mr. Maitland. The score at dinner time was as under : GENTLENV.M. — First Inning-. Mr. E.

SEVENTEEN FIRES IX LoNDON.—Captuin Shaw, the chief of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, reports that during the last forty-eight hours the firemen had been culled to render assistance at not fewer than seventeen fires that had occurred iu different parts of London. The most serious one took place in the lxewery belonging to Mr. J. Turner and Sons, Heneage-street, Brick-lane, Whitechapel. The flames originated in the lofts over the stables, which were 40 feet long., and from this spot the fire extended to the brewery, Gi feet lumg, 2.3 feet wide, and two floors high. The fire could nut be extinguished until the provender stows were burnt out, and about one-third of the brewery destroyed. "Arleta" of the Past says that the counsel re tained for John Day are Mr. Henry James, Serjoant Ballantine, 01141 Mr. Coleridge ; while the Attorney- General, in racing parlance, " gets up - for Admiral Roos. It is generally expected that if the trial takes glare noun• interesting revelations may be made, and notch good done to the purity of the Tul-f. The action cannot be tried until February or March next. BOROITGH HOP MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) Messrs.

TnE BRITISH ASSOCIATION AT NORWICII.—A. correspondent writes that the arrangements for thi forthcoming meeting in August of the British As. sociation for the Advancement of Science are rapid ly advancing. The Drill-ball, where the opening address and other lecture% will be delivered, is well re ported of as to acoustic properties, while the Old St. Andrew's-hall will, in itself, be an attraction for the soiree'. The reception rooms offer the unusual conve niences of separate rooms for business correspondence and for ladies. To geologists the crags of Norfolk and Suffolk promise ample scope both for work in section room and for outdoor practice under good local guidance. Arelueologista will find peculiar attractions, or distractions perhaps, in the fact of the International Prehistoric Society holding one of its meetings in this country at the same time and place. The Economic section is to be offered papers on the state of agriculture by Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., and on the condition of labourers by Mr. Corrance, M.P., Canon Girdlestone, and others ; while the drainage of the fens and Norfolk rivers is to be treated of by Sir Willoughby Jones and Mr. Harding, of Lynn. The fisheries of the coast, and pheasant breeding or over-feeding, will stir up questions of national importance in other directions.

His domestic life had not been happy of late years, and its course may be described in a few words. When Theo dore. was a young chief, with his power and influence increasing year by year, he received the hand of the fair Twubedje, the daughter of Has Ali. This was a mar riage of love, and many of the good qualities attributed to the rising chief in Mr. Plowden'a amount—his mercy, his abstemiousness, his chastity—were due to the influence of his beloved wife.

It was impossible for two such firebrands to live together, and for some years she had resided apart from him, with her little boy, in the king's house, at Magdala. Since their separation Theo dor°. had lived a disgracefully irregular life at Debra Tabor; and his favourite concubine, a fat Yedju Galls woman named Itamanyu, had been living for some time with the queen at Magdala, and receiving almost daily letters from her absent lord.
