The Pays says that the adversaries o /sea cies of the empire, if they have ever really been alarmed, may be perfectly easy. There is no inten tion to penetrate the secrets of conversation around the domestic fireside. All that the government wants to do is to continue more effleaciou.ly its com bat with the " permanent army of demagogy," " to muzzle the hydra of anarchy," to disconcert the " eternal enemies of order," &e. _ A member of the Corps' Legislatif, suspected of legitimist tendencies, asked a minister this morning whether the fact of his paying a visit to the Count de Chambord at Froheclord; as he bad been is the habit of doing, would be considered as " practising manirinrce" within the meaning of the new repres sive law.

They seized (in the feet), as spoils of war, a quantity of merchandise stored there until the state of affairs would permit of its being taken to the interior, and a lot of cattle.

They found him about mid-day on the top of a high stump, to which he had been confined all night by the presence of a couple of tigers. The brutes made off on tie near approach of the men, who were all well armed. List evening (Sunday) a most tragical event occurred. No lees than the death by drowning of the storekeeper and four others belonging to the steward's department in the royal mail steam packet Thames.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAT. PRIVY COUNCIL. DITCH 11 C. DIIIIO7C-10DOIWIT.-IXTORTAICT DICISION. The Judicial CoaseithinortZl.rivy Coaxal met to-day fig-etreet, sad delivered judgment In the above important ease, the declaim In which has been looked for ward to with great interest. The numbers of the judicial comansittse who were row were the Bishop of London, Lord Justice Knight Brace, Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, Sir Edward Ryan, Lord Justice Turner, and Sir John Patteeon. The on.. came before the judicial committee in the shape of an appeal from a decree of the Court of Arches, pronounced on the 23rd of April, 1837, in a rase of appeel before that jurisdiction. The parties in that on.. wen two clergy men of the diocese of Bath and Wells; Mr. Joseph Ditcher, the vicar of South Brent, in Somerestshire (the ap pellant hire), sad Mr. Denim Anthony Denison, vicar °inn neighbouring parish of Maw Brent, and archdeacon of Taun ton, (the now respondent). In this court the pswies were re/treed. The judgment now delivered was ae follows : —The controversy arose thus It appears that the Vicar of Brent preached and published, in the year 1833, cerise sermons which the Vicar of South Brent disapproved ; wherefore (the preferments held by the Vicar of East Brent being in the gift of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, in right of that see) Mr. Ditcher made formally to the Archtishop of Canterbury, mind, r the statute of the 3rd and 4th of the Queen, usually termed the Church Discipline Act, a written application or complaint. Is consequence, a written notice, signed by the Archbishop, was, early in November, 1344, served on the accused Arch deacon. Soon afterwards the comerimion issued accordingly. It was dated 30th November, 1854. The Archdeacon upon the 3lat of December, 1854, received formal notice of the eemmission, and of the piton and time where end when the Onninimionele intended to meet under it. 74 sat accordingly for several days in January, and received evidence tendered to them on behalf of tits sppellent and respondent respectively, but refused to bear, and accordingly did not hear, any argument or the question, whether an or by what the archdeacon had said, published, or dens, he had committed or been guilty of heresy, or had enunciated illegal or improper doctrine, although the Archdeacca by hisnaelf, or his counsel, pro. and was desirous to ague that point be oreed them. The Commissioners made their report to the archbishop under the commission. Whether the contedmidare erred la obelisk( to hear argued • ... _ _ the question el doctrine; the questio n, namely, of the ▪ of heresy is what the *mused had done ; the question wen which, se to probability at least, they had to report, mid H they did, whether the error vitiated the report, are pothts upon which their lordships abstain from er preing any opinion. The report was transmitted to the archbishop with the evidence taken by the commissioners. The only point decided in the Arches Court by the decree er senismes ender appeal having been that of time, the gum =...nerty, whether Mr. Ditcher was barred, and the protected, by the 20th section of the Church Discipline Act, it io on this statute that much, or every thing. tarns here at present; for unless under it, and ta posserwe of it, the Archbishop had not jurisdiction et antheeity to pronounce the decree or sentence pesomsell at Beth, the decree, namely, or sentence el arrleallsw which, ravened by the Court of Arches, Mr. Di ,by lbs present appeal, reeks to set up again —nor has an, Whir pig lean argued before eau.

Having, with such ases sad sem odor observations might afford, weighed the obis of the statute (not, of muse, without rellmence to tbs particalar nature of the subjects with which it le conmemsel, and the state of the law on those sub t: a di ci . t stood ionedistely before the passing of it), their ( 11011 .4 1 1 : they sfariand, o fo his petit from the mese swessod sad sit bra ohis graces seas) law them game le ire that the phrase " every suit or yeesseasa" In the 20th *action, unless the phrase mem "wary suit" merely, and nothing else, means every wit sad evety proceeding," nor lam nor more (As if, a sisel, based of ' every suit or proceeding" " shall be be minemenesd within two years," "ad not afterwards " the NOM aid "not say snit, nor any proceeding" "shall be ocarnamook abes within two years," and had omitted " sad oat slarwardia.") Their lordships consider also that the words "wit or proceeding," where they occur secondly, thirdly, fourthly, and fifthly, in the 20th sec., must be construeol of courseanalogoitely to the conatructionproper to be put on the three wards when they first occur in _the_ section. s Before entering on the next fit ' ' . nast!lA . !pedlefliyo the dee;se or sentence 'under appeal, it mails well to-ob serve that, notwithstanding the loose and inaccurate lan guage to be found in the act, the legislature, as their lord ships think, has made a sufficient distinction between a suit, properly so called, and the preliminary in mania cot of which • suit may erne. A clerk we,, indeed, with the concurrence of his accuser, obviate the oseity he • suit by submitting to a sentence on the result cif the prelledeary inquiries; but, unless he thinks fit to do se, be bee • right to have the use against him decided ascend= Assam et probate, In a suit regularly constituted. this cause (so it is termed in section 11), may either be heard before the bishop with assessors, or may be sent, by Was of request, to the Court of the Archbishop.

The ertidee—lost induild • to any court, not headed, ended, or described, a.. heiceiStne to or connected with any court, purported to proceed from the Archbithop, as " Primate of all England, and Metropolitan." They did not cite, command, requite, or invite the Archdeacon's attendance or appearanse in any court, or at any place or time, nor had arty date of place or time, nor, in fact until sums time after March, 1858 wee there any citation or requisition such as directed by the 9th section, or such as to require or make necessary any appearance or attention upon the part of the Archdeacon, or to render any such step material for his protection or to his interest. And their lordship, though in the present instance differing to some extent from the very able judge who advised the archbishop on the occasion of the Bath sentence, agree in the opnion then declared by_ that eminent lawyer, that the word " suit," need in th e 20th section, " means a suit in the Arches Court, or any other court of that desert pp Dr. Laahhign i n add e d th e wor d s `props ; answering to the terms in which it is expressed ; but he did not, we believe, by those words in tend to change the sense of what immediately preceded them. And If we do not think with him that (to borrow gate his language on the same maiden) "in a suit in the Curt of Arches, the issuing of the citation is the commence ment of the suit," we think that the service of the citation is so. The circuenstanoe that, by the 13th :moon of the act, let ters of request are prevented from issuing after articles filed, se mentioned in the 7th, does not appear to us to make the articles, or the t.:ing of them, or the service of a copy of them, the commencement of a suit. They may, by the sub sequent service of a valid citation or requisition, be drawn down in effect to the date of that service, bat cannot, as we conceive, bring up that service to an earlier data. The rule or maxim, " &caper in &anis besigniors prof.- reads.," is, we believe, as true in the law of England se it was in the Roman law, and the statute before us is at once a law of criminal procedure ae to the offences to which It re lates, and a statute of limitations as to penal prosecutions. With reference to that character, the presumption or Incline, non where presumption or inclination can find place, ought to be, ea their lordships conceive, not against, but in favour of, the parson charged with an offence, and sued penally under it. And their lonships are of opinion that they construe the 20th section consistently with the rules and idiom of the English language, and, " °mai considerath script*" agreeably to the spirit sad general intention of the act of par liament, by holding, as they do, with the learned Dean of the Arches, that a suit was not constituted by the applica tion for the commission, or by the commisaion, re port, and articles, or by any one or more of them, or by the service of the articles on the Archdeacon • that the suit consequently, in which: the Bath judgment was pronounced, was not commenced, was not a ' proceeding ' begun before April, 1856; that the Archdeacon having not been proved to have committed any offence after the year 1853, there was accordingly not a nut commenced within the time prescribed by the *2bth section ; that the commission and report fell to the ground there fore, and become wholly worthless; that every such pro ceeding, if any, u existed before April, 1856, having thus, before AprO, 1836, failed, and become extinct, no such proceeding was capable of supporting or assisting scything done in or after April, 1856; and that as the necessary result of such a state or things, the proceed against him sub !squat to the year 1855 were al groundkas and bad. We are not unaware of thelnconvenience possible to slim from unavoidable delay between the issuing of a commieskia end the making of a report under it, according to oar reeding of the act; but neither can we avoid seeing , the mischief, equal or greater, em we think, likely to arise, from holding that a penal suit may be instituted against a clergyman, founded on a report made twenty years before it. The Court of Queen's Bench possibly has, and possibly would exercise, the power of interfering, at the in- ; stance of an accused clergyman, in a case of long inaction, after the end of fourteen days mentioned in the Bth section. That, however, is a paint on which their lordships, thinking that they may well end ought to abstain, do abstain from inti mating any opinion. It may, with reference to the letters of request mentioned in the 13th section, be ' added, that if they can be issued wi th out a Com- i mission, but not after the two years, or if the suit in the Court of Appeal of the province under the letters of request must be commenced within the two years, it may seem ' &McKie (if not impossible) to conceive that a private I =tor or promoter, or even the bishop, could have wended to be allowed unlimited time after a com mission or report. Construing the language of the 1 statute, as I have said, we feel somewhat leas diffidence is differing from so high en authority ss the learned Judge of the Consistory Court of London than we otherwise should • do, reason el the early purausphs (especially the paragraph) of the winks delivered at Bath ' second by him, in favour of holding Mr. Ditcher not 1 barred of his prosecution by lapse of time. It ' seems te be a jest inference that the leaned judge was precluded from taking time for deliberatka; nor is this all that tends to diminish our sell-distrust. There is • weighty judgment now before um of that experienced and well informed ecclesiastical lawyer, the present Dean of the Arches, and there are previous judicial opinions entitled to much consideration and respect, with which that judg ment agreed : We may insteace theater of the " Bishop of , Lincoln and Day," and "Brooks v. Creswell," and that of "The Bishop of Hereford v. T n," re epactively, before Sir Herbert Jenne, Fu and Sir John I Dodson himself, to which, perhaps, may be added, 1 Mr. Moncktan's ems before Dr. Lushington. For the , reasons that have been now stated, it is th eir lord- ships intention to report to her Meieety that, in their judg- • ment, the semi sputa should be dismissed, but without cone. Of ovum it le understood that upon the question of j heterodoxy, the question whether the respondent has at tires uttered heretical doctrine or committed any eccl cal offence, their lordahipe have intimated no opinion. THE POLICE COURTS. THIS DAY. WANDSWORTH. VIIRIOVS DRIVING. Br. Cbaroy - - ,";;;;;1;;;Cier, carrying on bun nal in Battersea, wee brought Wore Mr. Dayman, charged with furious driving, and also with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself, pony, and cart. Sergeant Backing, of ,the V division, deposed that about slx o'clock on Friday evening he was riding upun the Wandsworth omnibus, along the North - road, Battersea, when the prisoner met them from the opposite direction driving a pony and cart in a furious manner. The omnibus was on the right aide of the road and there was plenty of room for the prisoner to pass, but instead of doing so he drove hie cart velvet the omnibus with such force that he was thrown out into the road, the cart was overturned, and • quantity of articles scattered about. The prisoner fortu nately escaped without any serious injury, but the springs of his cart were broken and it was otherwise damaged. A great deal of damage was done to the omnibus, the splinter bar being broken, the scroll iron injured, and the car to repair it, the omnibus being a new one, was estimated about 101. All the passengers were obliged to alight, the omnibus not being able to take them to Wandsworth. Witness found the prisoner very much in toxicated, and he accordingly locked him up, as he was quite incapable of taking care of himself. The prisoner expressed his regret at what had hap pened, and Mr. Darwin, after giving him a suitable lecture on the folly of drinking to excess, fined him 10e., or 14 days' im prisonment.

The funds have been a little flatter to-day, owing to the explanations given in Parliament last night relative to the Indian loan, the amount of which is rather larger than was generally expected.

The Marco Polo has arrived off Holyhead, from Melbourne, with 73,704 oz. of gold in freight— worth 294,8001. At Paris to-day (Saturday), according to Mr. Renter's telegram,the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 69.90 for the account, showing a fresh rise of 1 per cent. _ At the Bank of England yesterday there was a moderate, but by no means active, demand for money from the regular customers of the establishment In the open market the current rate for good bills is 3 per cent., and in exceptional cases transactions take place as low as 21 to 21 per cent. The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday was about 20,0001., making an ascertained total of 116,0001. since the date to which the Bank return (given below) is made up. We also hear of a further sum of about 20,0001. of recently imported gold being transmitted to the Continent, in payment for silver drawn thence. It is announced that the Magdalena has ar rived at Southampton from the West Indies, Isthmus, and Mexico, with the enormous sum of 444,80 W. in specie and bullion. Of this sum about 112,4001. is gold, the whole of the remainder con sisting of silver. The proportion in dollars is stated at no less than 328,3001. Probably this supply, which will not come actually to hand until about a week hence, will prove considerably in excess of the Eastern demand for silver. In the foreign exchanges vesterday afternoon the principal feature was a decline in the rates for bills on Hamburg. As regards Paris little alteration oc curred in quotation., but the tendency seems rather unfavourable. Paper on Holland and Frankfort was quoted quite as high as on Tuesday. Gene rally the transactions are characterised by more freedom than has been observable for a long time past.

Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed . . . . it the announcement, for, with the exception of the dividend on Leeds Northern stock, which resents an increase of e per oent., these rates are identical with those declared for the first six months of 1867, although the receipts for that half-year were 100,0001. less than those for the half-year ending the 31st December last. It is also considered singular that the directors, in making the announce ment, make no mention of the surplus, which is believed to be large. According to report, the motive of the board in declaring so small a dividend is this : At the beginning of 1857 a considerable addition was made to the company's receipts by a large payment from the Railway Clearing House, which was spresd—impro perly, as most people think—over the traffic returns foe several weeks. Consequently, the returns for some weeks to come may be expected to present an unfavourable comparison with those for last year. Considering, however, the large sums set apart by this company for maintenance of way and for the "Contingency Fund," there is a strong feeling that the whole of the profits for the last six months are the property of ths shareholders, and ought, conse quently, to be fairly divided. The directors of the London and Blackwell Rail way Company have decided to recommend a dividend of 3s. 3d. per share for the half-year ending the 31st December last, making • distribution of de. 3d. per share for the year 1857. The dividend for the last six months of 1856 was also 3s. 6d. per share. The half-yearly meeting of the South Eastern Railway Company is called for the 25th inst.

A meeting was held paternity of the creditors of Mr. Charles Fauntleroy, in the wool trade, who stopped payment on the Slat of December. The sus pension was almost entirely caused by extensive spe culations in wooL In Jul], 1858, when Mr. Faunt- Leroy took stock, his books showed a surplus of about 36,0001. Since that period a loss of fully 84,0001. has been incured in vinous ways, princi pally owing to the recent depreciation in wool, a sum of about 36,0001. having been swept away from this cause alone dunng the latter part of last year. Mr. Quilter, the accountant, in submitting a statement of affairs, said that the books had been kept in a loose manner, and he was therefore not enabled to present any statement prepared by his own firm accounting for the defi ciency shown by the estate. Mr. Fauntleroy had, oor.sequestly, drawn up a statement purporting to hichnie all teensastions from July, 1856. The prin cipal itetna are as follows: Loess on wool, 35,000 i.; paid for discounts, 18,0001. ; bad debts, 11,0001. ; losses on deficient weight of wool, 7,0001. ; trade expenses, 7,0001. • losses on shares, 4,0001. ; private expenditure, 1,3001. In the balance sheet, it will be noticed, are entered claims to the extent of 93,4064 less 44,6111., the value of securities held. The ere- X . !..ies claiming the bulk of th e res id ue, v i z., 60,7961., are ?d eem Cheeseborough and Mr. H a i g h, th e claim o fthe far.. er being 27 , 0001 ., and that of the latter 20,0001. Tee security lodged with the m f or a portion of their claims consists of wool, w hi c h w ill questions berealia u to realised ai quickly u posibl!. In answer to the mode Ira which these debts were contracted, it was explained ;let, Mr. Fauntleroy being in want ot money, the wool was pledged with Messrs. Cheeseborough and Son and Mr. Haigh. The explanations made upon this point were received with great dissatisfaction, a very strong feeling being dis played by the meeting with reference to the exten sive system of speculation pursued in the wool trade. One gentleman, however, remarked that, however strong might be their condemnation of Mr. Fauntle roy's conduct, he could not help considering him the "bat of a batch." After some further discuasion, in which one creditor complained bitterly of the " reckless waste of property," an expression which led to the explanation that the principal losses have arisen upon wool either remaining unsold, or sold prior to the suspension, it was mentioned by the solicitor that several attempts had been made to throw the estate into the Bankruptcy Court. With a view to avoid this contingency, he had considered it best to call the creditors together as quickly as possible. Tnis gentleman also observed that, although the estate shows about 4s. in the pound, Mr. Fauntleroy does nut feel himself in a position to make an offer of this sum. In the event of the estate being wound up under inspection, the solicitor expressed a belief that more than 14,0001. would be realised for divi sion amongst the creditors. Discussion then arose as to whether it would be better to adopt this course, or to throw the matter into the Bankruptcy Court, the result being the adoption of the former alterna tive, and the appointment of inspectors. To this decision the meeting appeared to be princi pally impelled by an apprehension of the expenses in bankruptcy, which would inevi tably occasion a considerable redaction in the ' poor dividend now shown on paper. A strong opinion was expressed that at meetings of this kind petitions ought to be prepared for presentation to Parliament, praying for an alteration of the present expensive bankruptcy process. The whole feeling of 1 the meeting seemed to be directed against the 'peen- I lative system shown to prevail in the wool trade. ' As regards the conduct of Mr. Fauntleroy himself, there were not wanting indulgent expressions. The Emigration Commissioners will receive tenders on the 11th instant for the hire of a ship, which must be ready to receive passengers for conveyance to Sydney between the 22nd and 31st of March. The return of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday, February 3, compared with the previous weekly return, shows the following results: Chtulation lane Circulation active 20,075,085 Inareue; 410,365 Public deposits Other &polite Gtioverpinem4 securities in banking department 9 669 161 Increase 271,681 Other eeenrities in honking department 20,073,740 D• 410111 973,740 Coin and bullion fa both __ _ departments -15,793,696 Inaense 394,972 Seven day and o th er b il ls 870,562 Incresse 6,076 The Rest Notes in reserve 9,370,100 Decrease 48,630 Total reserve (notes& coin) in banking department 10,193,631 Decrease 16,383 This return will be received with some surprise, for it shows that, although the Bank had little or no disooant business, and although the " other" secu rities have again decreased nearly a million, the Bank's " reserve" has not increased at ad. Against the decrease of " other" securities must be set the decrease of more than a million in the " other" de posits. Bankers and others have withdrawn a large amount of their balances with a view to employ them in the open market, or in the purchase of stock. In like manner, against 402,8931. of Treasury de posits sent into the Bank during the week under review, most be set the quarter of a million of go vernment securities purchased by the establishment. We thus arrive at that remarkable result —a trifling falling off in the reserve, instead of a large increase, as was generally expected. The proper light in which to view the week's changes is this : The Bank have paid off more than a million of their liabilities in the shape of bankers' deposits, and yet hold nearly as large a reserve as before, owing to the im portant reduction in the "other" securities. The addition to the coin and bullion is satisfactory,being nearly 400,0001. The Gazette statement of the movement of the precious metals for the week ending Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz.:—lmports of gold, 513,8481. ; exports of gold, 83,3201. ; imports of silver, 112,3131. ; exports of silver, 1,3841.

THE WEDDING-RING FINCIER.—This is the fourth finger on the left hold. Why this particular digit should have received such • token of honour and Most beyond ell its congeners, both in Paten and Christian times, has been variously interpreted. The most common explanation is, ac cording to Sir Thomas Browne, "presuming therein that a pat-limier vessel, nerve, vein, or artery, is conferred thereto from the heart;" which direct vascular communication Browne shows to be anatomically incorrect. blacrobius gives another reason, which may perhaps satieryr those anatomists who are not satisfied with the above. " Polka," he eayr , "or thumb (whose calms and general sinfulness are samcieatiy Indicated from its Latin derivative palms, and from its Greek equivalent eshehrir, which seam as good as a hand'), is too busy to be set apart for any such special employment; the nest finger to the thumb being but half protected on that side, sides having other work to do, is also ineligible; the oppro brium at..eting to the middle finger, celled mediroo, puts it entirely out of the question; and as the little finger stands exposed, and is moreover too puny to enter the lists in such • me= the spousal hononrs devolve naturally on pronubms, the -finger."
