BELOTEK, which hu been called "the cock " pit of Europe," from the propensity of its powerful neighbours to fight out their political wars there, instead of settling them in their own fields, has been acquiring for the last thirty years an additional title to that distinction. It is in constitutional Belgium that some of the most im portant questions that arise out of the distinctive . character of our age are being debated. It is there that we see most clearly the effects of the great strife between lay society and the Roman Catholic Church. We recently called attention to this contest as it directly affects the working of the political institutions of Belgium, and the se rious modification which political warfare undergoes when parties are formed in the State on • simply ecclesiastical basis. But it is only at intervals that the contest can be directed to ascendancy in Parliament, attainable through the elections, while in the sphere of legislation and administration it is perennial and unceasing. As Lord Attest- DELL of War.eore has lately explained, the Roman Catholic Church does not desire to encroach upon the proper domain of the State. It claims, how ever, the family as its own, and prescribes the most rigid laws concerning marriage and educa tion. Especially it insists on taking possession of the school, and in countries where the people have neither sufficient enlightenment and strength of individual character nor aptitude for voluntary association to provide for the instruction of youth, the choice seems to lie solely between education by the State and education by the clergy. The priesthood in Belgium strain every nerve to gain control over the instruction of the young, and their opponents are unremitting in their exertions to show that the young could not have more dangerous instructors. And certainly the oc currences continually revealed in the public press and established by evidence in the public courts powerfully assist the latter in their warfare. An impulse has been given to the controversy by a trial which took place last month at Clunk In Belgium, as in most Roman Catholic countries, the work of education is carried on with the aid of the religious fraternities. A MAD known by the name of Brother BERNARD, 53 years of age, belonging to the congregation of Brothers of Charity, and who had been a teacher in the orphan asylum called " Kidders," was charged before the tribunal at Ghent with abusing the influence which his sacred character gave him over his pupils. It was shown that he had been for years a cor rupter of youth. It would be impossible, even were it desirable, for us to attempt to convey a notion of the hideous details of the trial, which ended in the conviction and condemnation of the prisoner. The accusation was established against him in the most conclusive manner by • number of young orphans, who were reported to have given their evidence " with the cynicism of unconscious " vice, and with that naive grossness of which " only minds completely depraved are capable. " It was apparent that they were strangers not " only to modesty but to shame." And yet these poor children had been brought up within the walls of a so-called religions house ; and it was there that they had learned • slang which for foulness would disgrace the most abmidoned of mankind. It would be unfair to allege the case of Brother BERNARD against the general morality of religious fraternities professing celibacy if it were a rare instance of depravity in their members. Last, unhappily, a day scarcely passes without an appeal to secular justice. The Indept,dunre of Brussels, which has devoted some articles to this subject, states that two years ago it publisher! • list of one hundred "religions " who had been condemned by the tribunals in the two years preceding, and it offers to bring the roll down to the present date, declaring that if it did so the continuation would include as many names as the original series. It also appeals to an official docu ment lately issued by the Minister of Justice in France, in which it is stated that the proportion of vice and infamous offences is eight times greater among ecclesiastical than among lay teachers. These facts are of some importance just now, when amidst the weakness and distraction of the religious world some minds are turning half in despair to the monastic system as • means of re storing the vigour of the Church. There is no danger that the singular person who, under a fancy name, is now haranguing multitudes in Lancashire, will convert many persons by his paradoxes from Eng lish notions of comfort to a life of useless austerity. But if only a few weak minds are unsettled and led to choose a life of unmeaning and barren routine under the pretence of religion, we may soon have s crop of grievous scandals, of which a shocking letter, signed "Brother AUGESTINL," and re cently published at Norwich, is a foretaste. That letter has been publicly referred to by the person who, styling himself the "Superior " of the writer, must be held to a certain extent responsible for its character, as a " foolish." THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1864. one. Most foolish, indeed, it was, but some follyia terrible, and this letter points plainly to frightful evils which have always attended the growth of the monastic system. The Archbishops of the English Churchlatelyobeerred in their addressin aid of Church work in the colonies and dependencies of the British Crown, that our poor emigrants are " carrying the contagion of our diseases and of "our sins" into the most distant parts of the earth. That is very sad if true. On the other hand, let those Prelates look to it that their own clergy do not, by establishing outlandish and unnatural insti tutions in this country, bring in foreign sins from which we have been comparatively free. It is M. Vii.i.e.ustu who observes that the monastic system has produced a few great men, and a mighty host of madmen. Unless it had produced some great men—doctors, theologians, stateemen,laniPopea—it could not have lasted so long as it has done ; but its whole history is before the world, the balance of its good and evil has been struck, and no amount of individual eminence in a few of its members can compensate for the fearful and fatal mischief with which it continually menaces society. trbt Court.

(nom of= ows PARI3. TOZSDAY EV/21ING. It is now certain that Prince Humbert will not " assist" at the Compiegne fates, which the French journals stated only a few days ago were to be given specially "in his honour." He leaves Paris for Turin to-morrow. The Emperor yesterday paid him a visit of ceremony at the Palais Royal, where the prince is staying with his sister, the Princess Clothilde, and Prince Napoleon. In the evening the Emperor went to the Opera to see the first representation of Roland d Ronceraur, and Prince Humbert sat by his aide in the imperial box. I am unable to explain the reason for the prince's short stay in Paris after the arrangements which were certainly made for his reception at Compiegne. Some people see connexion between his departure and the return of the Empress. At all events, as a matter of fact, they will not meet, and the Empress a:11 be relieved from the embarrassment of accounting to her confessor for civilities paid to the youth who stands a great chance of sitting upon the Pope's tbrone. The Pays has the hudihood to assert that Count de Sartiges has had two interviews with the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli on the subject of the convention, and that the French minister is "very well satisfied with the sentiments expressed by the Pope and his minister." I utterly disbelieve this news, which, to use an expressive French idiom, is not "in the situation." The Pays does not, more over, venture to question the accuracy of the ver sion of the Pope's answer to M. Drouyn de Lbuys' despatch published by the Gazette de France. It is impossible for the Pope to be satisfied with a convention which is founded, as M. Drouyn de Limp tells bim, upon the radical "incompatibility between the principles of the Roman government and those of which the French government is the representative." The clerical journals of Paris, the Monde, the Union, and the Gazette de France, are all terrorstruck by M. Drouyn de Lbuys' despatch. They express their indignation, as far as they due, after the warning given to the Chmnique de l'Ouest for "distorting the policy of the Emperor." The France and Consti tutionnel are the only journals which do not regard the convention as essentially unfavourable to the temporal power. Baron de Talleyrand Perigord, the French envoy at Berlin, is about to be appointed ambassador at St. Petersburg, in place of the Duke de Montebello, who, for "family reasons," as it is stated, cannot return to Russia. Letters from Morocco, dated Sept. 27, announce that the Emperor of Morocco is shortly expected at Rabat. They state gravely that after a great victory gained by his Majesty over Cie rebellions tribes the beads of the ringleaders were cut off and " salted," and then sent to Fez to be ex hibited as trophies. The Pays says that, without being able to men tion the exact day on which the convention of Sept. 15 was communicated to the Court of Vienna, it is now able to state that that communication is a fait accompli. It is recorded that the Imperial Prince took his first pianoforte lesson yesterday. The marriage of Miss Slidell with M. Erlanger was celebrated this morning with great pomp at the church of St. Pierre, in the Rue Chaillot. The witnesses for M. Erlanger were M. Mocquard, the Emperor's private secretary, and the Marquis de Beaumont ; Mr. Mason, the Confederate repre sentative in London, and Mr. Corbyn, a well known American resident in Paris, and who is allied by marriage with several French families, were the witnesses for Miss Slidell. Several mem bers of the corps diplomatique and a great many Confederate officers in uniform were among the company. The Boone is very heavy, but there is no marked change in quotations since Saturday. REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) lIISZALT, OCZOMIS 4 $ A.Z. La. ILB.I.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE DEMONSTRATION IN ROME. A letter from Rome in the Rain says : A great demonstration took place yesterday evening (Sept. 29) on the Corso and the Pima Colones. The city of Rome wee anxions to 'manifest her joy, like the other cities of Italy, at the Frenecvltelien treaty. The good seam of the Romans, who have correctly estim►ted the spirit of this convention, is the noblest reply and the jetted reproach to than who have either honestly cc mile volently distorted it. More than 8,00 persons assembled on the Piaui Carona at 8 o'clock in the evening, when the French troops were shoot to retire. When they began to march, with their drum beating end bugles blowing, the people burst out into cries of "Long live France!" " Long live Italy ! " Long live Napoleon III.!" " Long live Victor Emmanuel !" " Long live the Treaty of Sept. 15!" The French troops, on hearing the crowd cheering Fume and the Emperor, began to cheer also. The demonstration became more int. poring when it reached the Corso, where a vest number of persona were promenading, all of whom cheered most lustily. At other points of the city, and erpeciany in the Tranatevere quarter, the French troop; were received in the same manner, and a round of cheers was given before the house of the general ;n rommend of the army of occupation. The Roman polioe were completely enrpneed by the euddename of the demonetzation, and were not able to effect any arrests. It appears, however, that two persons were arrested by the French police. It is said that G3neral de Lamoricdere has not only refused to take the command of the papal army, but has mislead M. de Wrode to be prudent and moderate. AUSTRIA AND VENETIA. The Wanderer, one of the moat trusted organs of the liberal party in Vienna, recommends Austrian statesmen to recognise the new prin ciples which form the basis of the French policy. It recalls to their memory the isolation of Austria in 1859, and asks whether it would be pr udent to expose her to a new war in expectation of 6nd 4 ng allies. The if andever shows that Austria could place no firm dependence on Prussia, and for the disgrace which, in certain circumstances, would result from the assistance of Russia, it would even prefer the voluntary abandonment of Venetia. The Austrian ministerial journal, the Bot schafter, seems to entertain pretty much the same view, for it gives a letter from London written by " a sincere friend of Austria," maintaining that the cabinet of Vienna could not do better than recognise the kingdom of Italy. By this means, says the correspondent of the Bofschafter, a double end will be attained : satisfaction would be given to France, and the way opened for an alliance with England. (IIXTITI:el TIMM:MANS.) FRANCE. PARIS, Oct 5. Delegates from France, Belgium, England, and Holland have lately met in Paris to draw up a col lective convention relative to the sugar duties. They have come to an understanding upon the general nature of the arrangements which are to form the subject of a diplomatic convention, to be carried out within a month at latest.

His recipe is :—Place your food in a blink pot, covered with sundry panes of glom, and stand it in the sun. The water soon boils, and the food is said to be of better fl wear than if cooked in the ordinary way. But we are in a season when, in London at least, it will hardly do to trust to the sun as a substitute for a kit!lien fire. "The Franciscan Order," says the Monde, " which has been vo happily re-established in Frazee, and which increases in number every year, now reckons 200,000 men and 300,000 sisters, including the Tertiares. It porcine 252 provinces and 7.6,000 convents, of which 3 are in Pala tine and 30 in Turkey. It has given to the church 7 pops' sod 3,030 bishops. More than 80 emperors and empresses, kings and quests, have been admitted into the order, which has the glory of having tarnished 3,000 saints or beatified perms, among whom were 1,700 martyrs."

It has been my fate to journey, at all possible speed, from the Pyrenees to Yorkshire, and, with the Casino and the old port of Biarritz fresh in my mind's eye, to find myself on the Spa, and in the midst of the refreshing smedal. and a witness of the vivacious dirtations which are among the at tractions of the queen of watering-places.

RECOMMENCEMENT OF INCENDIARY FIRES IN THE NOMA About 6 o'clock yesterday morning, a fire broke out in the stack-yard of Mr. E. W. Smith, at Tickton, • village about two miles from Beverley, and ten stacks were totally 000snmed. How the fire originated is • mystery. Thomas Wilson, • hind employed on the premises, states that three minutes before be was in the farm-yard, sod then all appeared safe. The flames first broke out in • straw stack at the corner of the yard, and in • very few minutes ten stacks of wheat, sate, hay, Ac., were in • blaze. Unfortunately, no water could be obtained nearer than Hare Hill-bridge, • quarter of • mile distant, and the few water carts available were ineffectual to supply the engine with sufficient to keep it constantly at work. It wasat ones seen that any efforts to save the stacks would be futile, and the exertions of the firemen were directed to prevent the con flagration extending to the adjoining buildings. They were happily encocesful, and one great cause of fear was thus allayed, as, had the flames extended to thou buildings the safely of the whole village would have been imperilled. On Monday evening, the sudden illumination of the heavens caused • consternation in North Lincoloshire unequalled is modern times. About seven o'clock, or that to half-past, hundreds were weeding their way in the dint lion which the lurid glare indicated. Deceptive war the appearance of the monster sheet of fire—at Barton it seemed but at the outskirts of the town, bet it clearly indicated that the Wolds of North Lincolnshire was the scene of the disaster. The engine of the Barton Volunteer Fire Brigade was at once honed, when a messenger arrived re questing its services at Burnham, about four and a half miles from Barton. On its arrival there it was found that the stark-yard of Mr. John Stevenson was one mess of flames. The terrible ulnae may be imagined when it is stated' that the yard is 120 yards long, by about 75 wide, contain tag 11 decks of wheat of the primest quality, 10 of barley, and 3 of clover, being the entire produce of 600 acres, the stacking of which had only just been completed. From the first it was seen that no portion of the auks could be saved from the burning element, and the brigade at once commenced to play on the proximate homy stead, stored with an immense stock of wool, linseed cake, and seeds. most of which were rescued from the fire, shortly after which the roof of the principal building fell, with • tremendous smash. Fortunately, by a wise police provision, the way was clear, and all escaped injury. By 11 o'clock the burning stacks assumed the character of • series of limekiln', sod the homestead, which was of a quadrangle form, was demolished on its northern side. Three waggons and • large cumber of implements were destroyed. Plenty of assistance was at hand, and willingly given, but beyond what we have stated, no effectual service could be rendered. At two o'clock all fear of an extension of the fire had subsided, as the 'duke is the immediate neigh. bourhood of the building were considerably reduced. Mr. Stevenson bad insured his crops. The implements destroyed, valued at 3C31., were not insured. The impression is that the fire was the work of as incendiary. The damage is estimated at 7,0001. The buildings, which belong to the Earl of Yarborough, have suffered considerably. The Leeds Mercury of to-day says :—" A series of disas trous fires have just weaned in the agricultural districts of Yorkshire and Lincolcehire, and furs are entertained of • repetition of the incendiary fins which excited so much alarm amongst the farmer on the Yorkshire Welds last winter. On Saturday night the stackyard on the farm of Mrs. Skelton, at Scawby, near Gainabro', was burnt down ; and on Monday sight the farmstead of Mr. Stephen son, at Burnham, near Barton, was destroyed. Yesterday morning a fire was discovered at the farm of Mr. Smith, Tiektoo Grange, near Beverley, and the damage was ex. nuns. In each ,or these cases the fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. In our own neigh bourhood there have been several destructive fires, and at Thornton, near Bradford, yesterday, the premise* of Mr. Craven, manufacturer, were burnt down. The lose was heavy, but it is covered by insurance." The annual provincial meeting of the Metro_ politan and Provincial Law Association was commenced in Leeds yesterday. Among the pipets read was one by Mr. Avison, of Liverpool, on the equitable jurisdiction proposed to be conferred on county courts. Considerable discussion took place, opinion being nearly equally divided as to whether the proposed jurisdiction should be conferred on county or on bankruptcy courts.

Mr. Registrar Winslow, on taking his seat on the bend, said—Gentlemen of the bar, I bare heard with great re. gret, as I have no doubt you have, of the death of Mr. Cornmiesioser Fane, whose seat I now occupy. I have only heard of it sines my arrival in court. All of us nmt deeply regret the death of one who has so lately pre. sided in the administration of justice here. If there were no other reason for adjourning the court, I think it would only be a proper mark of respect to his memory that the public business should not be proceeded with to-day. I shall thirsted, adjourn all the public sittings for examine,. tion and discharge till the same hour to-morrow ; but that it may not produce any inconvenience, I shall sit in the private room to dispose of the business that would come before the Commissioner of the day. Mr. Bagley, on behalf of the members of the bar, ex pressed their concurrence in the propriety of the noun which had bean taken by the learned registrar. The court then adjourned, THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) CLERK EN WELL ACCIDECT ON THE METROPOLITAN NAILINAT.-CALTION TO _ PERSONS LEAVING • TRAIN IN NOTION. Mr. Chance Loyd, of 3. St. Martin's-place, Csmden. street, appeared Wore Mr. Barker to SWIM. • complaint made by the solicitor of the Metropolitan Railway Com pany, which charged him with having, on the 10th of Sep tember, unlawfully attempted to leave, and leaving a certain carriage of the Metropolitan Railway while the train of which the said carriage formed a part WAS in motion, contrary to the statute. The defendant, who appeared very ill from the effects of the accident, having suffered from coocussion of the brain, was allowed to be seated daring the proceedings. Mr. Burchell, solicitor to the company, attended to sup. port the complaint ; and Mr. Lastoo, barrister, .OPearcd for the defence... . . . . Mr. Luton said, before the cue proceeded, he had to ask for an adjournment of it on account of an action now pending against the railway company for negligence in this matter. The application he made was not an unusual One. as in all cases of this kind, and even where an indictment was found in • criminal court, and an action was priding, the hearing of the indictment was postponed. It was not unusual for railway companies, where they had been guilty of negligence, and an accident happened, as in this case. to take out a summons for the purpose of protecting on. pleasant proceedings being taken against them. He had • good answer to the case on the merits, but under all the circumstances he trusted that the magistrate would grant the adjournment belied asked for. Br adopting such • coarse neither party would be prejudiced. Mr. Barbell opposed the application, and maid that he era- not aware that an action had been brought against the company in this matter. This be could ay, that on the last occasion when the case was before this court the wife of the defendant then asked for an adjourn meat of the hearer on the ground that her husband was ill in bed. and produced a surgeon's certificate to the effect that the de fendant was unable to leave his bed and was suffering from concussion of the brain, and then certainly no action had been brought. As the case had been adjourned at the request of the defendant he had to ask that the matter might now begone into. Mr. Barker said he recollected the cue very well. Oa that day he had four summoner before him for leaving the trains on the Metropolitan Railway whilst io motion. In two of them he inflicted penalties of 10a and costs, and in the third an alibi was set up and the summons was dis missed, and ia the fourth, which was the case now before him, it was adjourned at the request of the wife. He must refuse the application and themes must proceed. Mr. Buchan said in this car he did not propose to ask for the infliction of a heavy penalty considering the narrow ' escape the defendant had had of his life, but he did wish it to be known that it was the intention of the company to proceed in every cams that was brought under their notice of passengers leaving • train whilst in motion, and he was instructed to ask that heavy penalties might be inflicted as a warning to others. The Metropolitan Railway was solely a passenger line, and it was for the protection of the presagere them selves that he was instructed to adopt this coarse. In this err the defendant, in leaving • train when in motion, bad had a narrow escape of his life—in fact it was quite mira culous that be had sot been killed on the spot. As it was he had suffered • great deal, and had been so frightened that he would, he should think, never again attempt to leave a train whilst in motion. Passengers could not plead ignorance that it was against the bye-laws of the company for them to do so, for it was written up in large bitters at every station, ad it was also put up in each compartment of.every carriage that passengers are requested not to leave the train whilst it is in motion. Thomas Woodman was the first witness called. He said —I am statioo•porter at the Kiln's-cross station of the Metropolitan Railway. Shortly after the arrival of the 11.45 p.m. down train on the night of Saturday, Sept. 10, there would have been a train from oowerstrest to King's-cross. I recollect the 11.45 pm. train striving, and I assisted in getting the passengers in and out, and I saw the doors shut before the train started. I fastened the doors, and the guard assisted me. After the train was la motion my attention was called to the defendant who said he wanted to get out. 1 was close by the door thee, and the train was actually in morn. I did not open the door, hay ing closed the door before defendant opened it. I told him he bad better go on to Gower-rust and come back by the next train, as it was due immediately. After I told him, and the train was entering the tunnel, he opened the door, and the door caught oe the water. crane of the down platform. The defendant wee knocked down between it sod the carriage. There is • wood= tiny outside, and he was carried along on the train, but I could not say how far. He was staggering, but as the train was going along he fell down. He was then seven or eight yards into the tunnel. As soon as the train bad passed I ran down the line and found tee defeatist lying oe his back. He was insensible, and I thought he was dead. I got assistance and got him on to the platform, and as he was being brought along he gloried. A surgeon came up and ordered him some brandy. After he had had the bray he came to himself. I then took hi same sad address. _ Ms whams having been c►ossexamind, the evideooe of the guard of the Into sad a passenger was takes. lir. lA:toe addressed the magistrate in reply, and be said be should be able to show that there was negligence oa the part of the company, bat be was stopped by Mr. Barker, who said the case he had to try was whether the defendant left the train whilst it was in motion or not. He should decide that be did, but u the defendant bad already been severely punished by the accident be bad met with he should onl► inflict a nominal penalty of la and the costa. He wished it to be generally known that in all cans of this sort that were proved he should for the future be very se►ere, and should indict a seven sad substantial penalty. Mr. Bushell add that the company would forego the costs. • couNTlntren. COIXEL Sander*, • man about 60 years of age, residing at 4, White Mart-paseass.
