Sour: of our legislators are as reluctant to ao knowledge as they were slow to discover the position which the branches of the Church of England must necessarily occupy, and the cha racter with which they must be clothed in the colonies which are in possession of representative government. That the statute law which binds the Church in this country, where it is established, cannot apply to the colonies, where no religious community enjoys that pre-eminence, and where no Church courts exist, must be oh% ions upon reflec tion ; yet the authoritative announcement of this truth by the Privy Council has created a revolu tion in the external affairs of the Colonial Churches, and is, most unreasonably, as we think, discourag ing some of their friends in this country. We hear it asked what will become of the Colonial Churches when there are no bishops holding ..... patents from tho Crown, and when no appeals lie to the Privy Council ? Let us, in turn, ask what it is supposed will become of them. One thing seems tolerably certain. There can hardly be greater uncertainty of doctrine or extrava gance of worship in them than may be seen in the dioceses at home under all the supposed safe- guards which it in desired to extend to the colonies. This extreme anxiety is, we submit, moat unworthy of churchmen. If, indeed, the Church of England were, as some injuriously assert, the mere creature of the law—a branch of the civil service—we might well fear for its future, when cut away from the restraints proper to such an institution. Let it be remembered, however, that these things are said, not by members of the Liberation Society, but by " the friends of the " Establishment," who dread nothing so much as that the Church should be recognised as a part of a divinely instituted society, and be treated accordingly. The worst that can happen to a Colonial Church under the cireunistamcvs in pros- pea is that it will be thrown upon the wisdom and devotedness of those who have most interest in its prosperity, who receive its doctrines, and value its communion, instead of being at the mercy of legislators and judges who may not even be Christians. This is not a future which convinced churchmen ought to regard with dismay. It does not daunt those who are actually engaged in the struggle of colonial life, and most of the difficulties of which we hear are imaginary and speculative. The American Episcopal Church and the Scottish Episcopal Church can go alone although unestablished, without losing orthodoxy or sinking in the respect of their neighbours, and so will the Colonial Churches, sustained, as they are sure to be, by the sympathy of their brethren in England. It is really time for men professing to be Churchmen to desist from degrading representations of the dependence of the Church on what, after all, are only its accidents. Churches existed before establish ments, and can exist without them. Except on the supposition that the colonial branches of the Church of England are less Chr:stian than the religious bodies by which they are surrounded, they will prosper in that state of freedom which their circumstances require. We know what has happened under the control of Parliament and tho Judicial Committee, and colonial church men may be excused, if not applauded, for desiring liberty to walk iu the light of the teachings of the great divines of the Church in preference to that of great lawyers who have imposed their dicta upon it. That they will have difficulties to en counter arising out of the novelty of their situation is to be expected. The multiplication of colonial bishops is comparatively a recent event, which it is customary to refer to this prelate or to those counsels ; but which must have taken place sooner or later as the increasing importance of the colonies was recognised, for the idea of treating settlements of our countrymen as parts of an English diocese was too preposterous to be main tained while other religious bodies in the colonies were free to organise themselves with the view to the utmost efficiency. Free from the interference of those equivocal adherents who for their own purposes are churchmen to-day and nothing at all to-morrow, cherishing the Prayer-book and Articles, and prizing their connexionwith the Church at home as an honourable distinction, the Colonial Churches will be in a situation most favourable to unity and progress. But if the prospect were otherwise, the Imperial Legislature would still have one, and only one, course to follow. All the religious bodies in the colonies, without exception, are free and independent, and must so remain. The Bishop of LONDON objects to this state of things, thinks that it would be time enough for the monies to be independent in ecclesiastical matters ten they are so as to those which are civil. It the QUEEN'S sovereignty is exercised through laws, and in the colonies there are no Church iurta from which an appeal can lie to the TEEN ; it has been well remarked that appeal cannot lie from that which is not court to that which is. Nor is it practicable this time of day to establish Church courts in colonies. Colonial legislatures might do so ; it they will not, and no British ministry is likely ask Parliament to legislate over their heads. to wiser course will be to acquiesce in that state things which the Privy Council has ascertained id declared, but which it did not create, and two the Colonial Churches to the enjoyment of freedom of which they cannot easily be de lved.

A miserable little passage-room had been converted into a ward, in which a decent old man, himself suffering from a cruelly neglected wound, shared the society of two filthy lunatics. One of these had been suffered at night to wander into the adjacent wards and disturb all the other patients. Most of the patients were hungry—one or two seemed half starved. Only one had milk allowed him, and none had beer ; and two or three ounces of gin for a dropsical patient represented all the stimulants allowed throughout the wards. The medicines seemed as a rule indiscrimi nately dispensed by the nurse from three large uncorked bottles to suit Um taste, not the necessities, of the patients. In short, not a -,:ugle element in sick treatment, neither cleanliness, nor food, nor medicine, nor rest, nor air, was provided for the unhappy inmates of this so-calleil infir mary. The Timis .:annot but conclude that the metropo litan inspectors have grossly neglected their duty, and that these tardy revelations are as great a scandal to the Poor law Board and its officers as to the subordinate autho rities. LATES' ;FENCE. THE WAR. The most complete mystery hangs over the movements of General Benedek. The Os Deutsche Post says : General Benedek has given express orders that all his should be preparations and the movements of his t roo p s kept in profound secrecy. Wo have been po sitively assured that no foreign officer has been admitted within headquarters. Even the French military representatives, Colonels Follet and Merlin, have been politely refused admission. Colonel Merlin is said to have admitted that this refusal was justifiable, based, as it was on the ground that if officers of one European power were admitted to headquarters the representatives of other powers would be equally entitled to admission, in which case he could not depend on the discretion of so many officers. The Prussian army of Silesia, commanded by the Prince Royal, aro effecting a concentration at Neisac, not far from which the first great battle will probably be delivered. The King has arrived, and is likely to assume the supreme com mand. The Austrian headquarters was still at Olmutz on the 16th, and it was only on the evening of the 17th that Benedck left Vienna. The Austrian army of Bohemia communicates with the Bavarian forces by Eger, and with the Saxon by Bodenbach. (REUTERS TELEGRAMS.) THE WAR IN GERMANY. BERLIN, JUNE 22. A Prussian corps, coming from Saxony, has been sent to prevent the junction of the Hanoverian with the Federal army, and has orders to join the troops of Saxe Coburg Gotha, commanded by the Duke of Coburg. The Prussians continue to fortify themselves before Dresden. The movements of General Benedek are kept very secret. Up to the present nothing more than reconnaissances appear to have been made by the Austrians in Upper Silesia. PRAGUE. JUNE 22. The Prussians entered Austrian territory last night near Oderberg. GOTTINGEN, it'NE 20. The Austrian Ambassador has followed the King of Hanover to the camp. Tho other members of the Diplomatic Corps are expected here from Hanover. FRANKFORT, JCKE: 22.. Sir Alexander Malet has been instructed by the British government to take under his protection the Prussian subjects, and to take charge of the Prussian archives in this town. THE PRUSSIANS IN SAXONY. VIENNA, JUNE 22. The Vienna papers of to-day assert that the Prussians have set fire to the Saxon town of Zittau, because the inhabitants refused to pay the war contributions imposed Upon them. The Prus sians are said to have then evacuated the town. THE SAXON ARMY. • FRAGIM., JUNE 22, 3 A.M. The Saxon army completed its junction with the Austrian army in the presence of the King. His Majesty, who is now at Prague, is calm and firm. The spirit of the army is excellent. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. GARIBALDI'S VOLUNTEERS.-THE FIRST SHOT. TRENT, JUNE 22. Yesterday morning the Austrian outposts al Apaiso Bruffiono were attacked by Italian volun. toers. Several shots were exchanged. FRANCE. PARIS, Jr:re 22. The Menitcur of this morning says :—" Certain persons seek to shake public credit by spreading false news respecting the events of the war or the imminent failure of some credit or industrial com panies. Some journals do not hesitate to receive and propagate these inaccurate assertions without taking the trouble to verify them. The Govern ment is observant of such acts, and will not hesi tate to institute legal proceedings against the authors of false intelligence." DENMARK AND FRANCE. COPENHAGEN, JrNE 19. The letter of the Emperor Napoleon delivered to the King of Denmark on the 15th inst. had no political character, but merely referred in congra tulatory terms to the visit of the Crown Prince of Denmark to Paris. The delivery of this letter was accidentally delayed. PESTII, JUNII 22. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TITS MINISTERIAL DEADLOCK. Assuming it to be the case that her Majesty JO sires her present ministry to remain in her service, and ii ready to dissolve parliament if they wish it, the Times proceeds to speak of a dissolution as impossible, because it is so evidently unwise—seeing that there could be no change in the elections worth the outrage to public feel ing. Perhaps a reconstruction is the favourite idea ; and if Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone would either retire or condescend to a lower position in the cabinet, that would wonderfully simplify matters. As for the scheme of au entirely new cabinet, it is one that will have to speak for itself when the names are given. If a neutral premier can be found—such as Lord Stanley, for example—with the temper, the abilities, and the personal following for the office, no doubt there are men of high mark ready to serve under him, who would not and could not serve under either Lord Russell or Lord Derby. The Times concludes with alleging that the country is purely indifferent on the subject of reform. It will not put a particle of pressure on its representatives, and till it does parliament will no more carry Reform than a locomotive will drag a train at express spied before steam has been got up. The Daily Pans says we are waiting for the appearance of a tory ministry with the impatience of a pit and gallery which has its hisses ready, but does not see the curtain rise. We may improve the time by a profitable confession, namely, that the Russell cabinet committed the sin so odious to hypocrites of showing itself in 1 earnest on the one question which distinguishes an honest liberal from an honest tory government. The gravamen of the charge which the reformers of the new philosophical school, who, in the simpler ages, would probably have been described as trimmers, bring against Mr. Gladstone is that, after having excited the hopes of his followers by his proved capacity to do plenty of work, he courted defeat and justified betrayal by doing what he believed to be his duty. Evidently these philosophical and disappointed reformers, when they talk of work for a liberal minister to do, mean work which a tory statesman will approve, and when they accuse him of alienating his party, they mean the party who would have supported him faithfully enough if he had done nothing and stood still, with all the vigour and capacity of the venerable and lamented Pococurante. The Star has reason to believe that the prospect of a dissolution of parliament becomes more and more clear. The importance of having the question at issue between the government and the House of Commons submitted to the decision of the people is fully recognised by some of the most influential and eminent members of the cabinet ; and the Star believes there is not on the part of the Queen the slightest objection to consent to an immediate dissolu tion. When the present government undertook to deal with the reform question, there was of course a full under standing that ministers might be called upon to advise her Majesty to adopt such a course as that which liberal poli ticians now desire—a dissolution of parliament. Nothing, therefore, stands in the way of a dissolution, and the Star believes there is good reason to expect that it will shortly be announced as the policy of the government. The Post has reason to know that there were eight members among those who voted in the majority on Mon day night who were considered as certain supporters of the government, and who, up to the very last moment, were counted by the ministerial w'sips as being onitheir side, and the result was consequently as astounding to the Treasury bench as it was unexpected. There is good reason to believe, the same paper says, that the govern ment will elect to dissolve parliament—the dissolution probably not taking place until the natural/end of the session. The Post thinks ministers will do well to reflect before they commit themselves finally to a course which will save them but for a short time, and will probably do such permanent damage to the liberal party as it will not soon or easily recover. The Herald contains three articles having a bearing more or less direct on the present deadlock in the ministry. In the first it states that . Mr. Gladstone's advice to dissolve has been overruled by the opinion of his colleagues. He has lost tho confidence of his party and broken it up, and the Herald has little doubt that the Queen will find no lack of loyal and generous cooperation in the formation of a now ministry on a safe and satis factory basis. In a second leader the Herald throws back upon the liberals the accusation which is made against the tories of &sc.:elating their policy with war and hostilities. It was Lord Derby's ministry that first 'recognised tho French Emperor, and it was Lord Russell wl:o so shamefully abandoned Francis 11. of Naples, following some favourite theory of unifica tion or nationalities which is antagonistic to liberty and constitiNtionalism. The liberal policy can support a tyranniin America whilst denouncing tyranny in Europe. Had the conservatives been in power, we should have had no war in the Crimea, rind have retained the proud dis tinction of keeping peace or vindicating the right with power' and effect. The third article is a denunciation of the Italian cause—the remarks being based on the Italian manifesto which has just been promulgated. The writer insists that amongst the clergy of Italy there is absolute anal natural discontent, and says it is far too easily assumed that every order of people in 'Venetia are eager to be reckoned among the subjects of Victor Emmanuel. The Te'r9raph, enumerates various reasons apart from reform why the reins of government should not at this moment drop from the. hands that hold them, and why an appeal should be made to the people. TEE WAR. As yet, the Times says, all the advantages have been on the side of the Prussians. Yesterday the telegraph an nounced the occupation of Drasden, and to-day the world learns that the Prussians have taken possession of l'irna, and that the Saxon army is vacating the country it was raised to defend, and has by this time probably retired in mass into Bohemia. No future generalship on the part of the enemies of Prussia can repair the advantages thus gained. From the telegraphic despatches it would seem that the attention of Field-Marshal Benedek is concentrated on the extreme south-eastern portion of Silesia, and that he proposes to wage a purely local war on a remote region of King William's dominions. It is said that the Austri.m, have invaded the Prussian territory opposite Troppau, and that the extreme left of the Prussian army may have to bear the brunt of a hostile attack. But it may be that this movement is merely subordinate to some grander scheme about which it is useless to speculate at present. Whatever be the event of the war, the useless political di visions of Germany must disappear, and give place to a great national authority which may enforci inwlenttion on its neighbours and obtain the respect of the world. The advantage Prussia is likely to derive from the annexations she has made will be limited, in the opinion of the Daily New, to the field afforded for recruiting. In a strategic point of view the dissemination of force demanded by so considerable a line of frontier will prove a source of weakness. Should the Austrian and federal forces act in perfect concert, Marshal Benedek will be afforded the op. portunity of inflicting a stroke of telling severity on the side of Silesia. When we are in possession of more com plete information we shall probably find that the inaction of the Austrians, rendered the more remarkable by the unwonted vigour of the Prussians, has been imposed under sagacious counsel. Premising that one of the results of the present war will be the absorption of one, if not all, of the minor German states, the Star adds that if Prussia should finally absorb Hanover, one of the moat backward and stagnant of them all, there would be no occasion for any senti mental regrets. If Hanover and Brunswick and Mecklen burg—Mecklenburg with its two grand peculiar institu tions, illegitimacy and the bastinado—should be swallowed up by the progress of events, and incorporated into a state which at least has • future before it, the world may repro- bate the act of policy which violently wrought the change, but assuredly cannot pretend to deplore the result. THE WORKHOUSE INFIRMARIES-FURTHER REVELATIONS. It is a fatal feature in the case of the workhouse infirma ries that the more we learn of it the worse it appears. The Strand and the Rotherhithe revelations are now followed by another shocking story from Whitechr.pel, which is told this morning in a letter from Mr. Ernest Hart to the Times. A patient leaving the infirmary at Whitechapel communi cated his sufferings to that gentleman, whowith Mr. Faruall went off at once to examine for themselves the state of the wards. The details are horrible. Mr. Hart found patients suf fering from the most painful sores without a single appli- ince to relieve their pain or advance their recovery. A In some parts of Australia the farmers are p client who had entered the day before had been seen by making cider from peaches. They are so plentiful that the doctor, but had received no relief ; another who had pigs are fed on them. the Court. BALMORAL, Jmis 20. The Queen and Princess Helena drove out yes terday morning. In the afternoon her Majesty went to Craig Cluny, accom panied by Princess Helens, and attended by the Duchess Dowager of Athole and Miss MacGregor. Princess Louise and Prince Arthur, attended by Me Cathcart, went out riding. Prince Arthur arrived at the Castle yesterday, attended by Major Elphinstone. Mr. George Gilbert Scott, the architect of the National Memorial, which is being erected in Hyde-park to t. e memory of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, yester day, by command of her Majesty the Queen, deposited in the central stone of the structure a collection of the cons of the realm, together with a short descriptive account and plan of the design inscribed on parchment. The Prince and Princess of Wales rode out on horseback yesterday forenoon, attended by the Countess of Maccles field and Lieut.-Colonel Keppel. The Princess of Wales took a carriage drive in the after noon. . . . Mr. Hogarth has had the honour of submitting, for the inspection of the Prince and Princess of Wales, some views of the Danish palace of Fredericsburg, published in aid of the funds for the restoration of that building. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz left London on Wednesday afternoon for Dovcr, and embarked immediately for the Continent. A deputation of the magistrates of the county of Devon, consisting of Earl Fortescue, Sir John Duckworth, Bart., and Mr. S. T. Kekewich, M.P., had an interview with the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, at the Home-office, yester day, on the subject of the new scale of pay to the county constabulary. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat yester day.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, The Duke of Edinburgh embarked at 10 o'clock this morning on board the Mersey Dock Steamer Alert, to attend the sailing match of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club. The weather is very fine. His royal highness was enthu siastically received. At the close of the match he will award the queen's Cup. Eight yachts started, all getting well away. THE RETURN OP THE QUEEN FROM SCOTLAND.— Her Majesty the Queen, with their Royal Highnesses Princesses Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, will, according to the latest arrangements, leave Balmoral early on Mon- day afternoon, and return to Windsor Castle early on Tuesday morning. WINDSOR, JUNE 21.—The two Princesses. Vic toria and Ella, children of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse, arrived at Windsor Castle to-day at noon, after a favourable voyage across the Channel to Dover, where they slept last night, at the Lord Warden Hotel. The royal children travelled under the care of Mr. Rennie, her Majesty's courier, and came from the Waterloo Station to Windsor by the ordinary train, under the charge of Mr. Hill, superintendent of the line. The near accouchentent of the Princess Louis of Hesse prevents her coming to England at present. The Prince of \Vales will leave Marlborough House on Saturday for Trentham, where his royal highness will remain the guest of the Duke and Duchess of Suther land till Tuesday. Yesterday the Duke of Edinburgh made his second visit to Liverpool. At the Town Hall, in the morn ing, his royal highness was presented with an address from the municipality. Ho next went on board the school frigate Conway, and distributed some prizes to the pupils on board that vessel. The Duke was afterwards received by the officers of her Majisty's ship Donegal, and in the afternoon attended the formal opening of the 'new docks at Birkenhead. Later in the even ing the Duke of Edinburgh attended a banquet given by the Mayor of Liverpool, at the Town hall. Amongst the guests were the Earl of Sefton, Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley, M.P., Lord Skelmeradale, the Hon. Algernon Egerton, M.P., the High Sheriff of Lanca shire, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Admiral Sir F. Grey. The principal prof.:ssional men and merchants of the town were also present. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of 3fecklen burg-Strelitz left London on Wednesday afternoon for the Continent. Their royal highnesses had intended to have prolonged their stay in England for several weeks, but the disturbed state of affairs on the Continent has obliged the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess to leave England very suddenly. Viscount and Viscountess Stratford do Redcliffo • received his Excellency the French Ambassador and a select circle at dinner on Wednesday evening at their re sidence in Grosvenor-square. GARIBALDT.S VOLUNTEERS. A letter from Como of tho 18th, in tho Stlut Public of Lyons, says : " Thus everything tends to foreshadow a movement of the volunteers towards the Tyrol. The battalions of Lecco left this morning for the Valteline, in the direction of the Col de Stelvio. You see that the first engagement cannot be long delayed. At the hour at which I write the let Regiment of the Garibaldians have just embarked on the steamers of the Lake of Como. At 11 o'clock owner one carriages brought families who came to pass the day here with their young men. That regiment offered a magnificent view. It is completely clothed in the Garibaldian uniform. All along the port the oat talions filed off in three ranks. The volunteers were in high spirits, and their enthusiasm gained the masses. On all Farts national hymns burst out, accompanying the music of the national guard. The crowd was immense on the jetties, in the streets, and at the windows, all dressed out with flags. Each volunteer had decorated his musket with flowers and ribbons. Italian humour joined in the Me, as some of the soldiers suspended lanterns to their bayonets, and when the s:sectators asked what for! replied, 'to find out the invisible Tedeachi The women in charming toilettes leant from the balconies and terraces. Amongst all these were mothers, wives, and young girls, who were sending to the massacre their eons, husbands, and betrothed. I could not count ten who showed any weakness at the final moment. The steamer Lario soon became a red mass, the volunteers being piled up there. Handkerchiefs were waved with energy ; the songs redoubled ; the cannon gave the signal for departure. Addio ! addio !" Viva rltalia !" Viva l'lndipendenza ! 'Viva Garibaldi!' They started in frightful weather ; a heavy storm was raging ; the thunder rolled incessantly, and the wind raised the waves on the lake like a miniature sea. From the high mountains enormous clouds were bearing down on the dark gorges. Again some reports of cannon were heard, and the Lario disappeared in a thick mist. Thirty or forty women then threw themselves on their knees, and a solemn silence succeeded to the clamoura of the adieus." HUNG.UtY.

HE OVEREND, GURNEY', AND CO. Mr. Roxburgh, who appeared for the company, said that the six petitions for the winding up of the 00000r11, having stood over from time to time to enable the company to determine upon the course to be pursued with regard to the liquidation, now came before the court as unopposed. A meeting was held on the 11th of June, at which share holders representing 56,705 out of 100,000 shares were present, and resolutions were unanimously adopted under the provisions of the Companies Act of 1862, in favour of the voluntary winding-up under the snpervision of the court. Mr. Turquand and Mr. Harding, public accountants, were appointed liquidators, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Kingacote and Grisell, shareholdcrs,and Mr.Oppen heim, a depositor, was nominated to act with the official liquidators. Concurrence in these resolutions had since been expressed on the part of creditors to the extent Of 5,130,000/. (the aggregate of liabilities being about 10,000,0001.), and the course recommended by the meeting appeared to be generally regarded as that which was most beneficial for the interests alike of creditors and contribu tories. The Vice-Chancellor made an order upon all the petitions for continuing the voluntary winding-up under the super vision of the court, the coats of the petitioners to be paid out of the estate. Mr. Glasse, Mr. Osborne, Mr. Roberts, Mr. Westlake, Mr. Hastings, Mr. Edmund James, and Mr. Lintlley repre sented the petitioners and other parties interested in the COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittings at Nisi Prius in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Special Jury.) DAWKINS V. LORD ROKZBV. The hearing of this case, which was an action by CoL Dawkins, late of the Coldstream Guards, to recover da mages for false imprisonment, and also for being compelled to retire upon half-pay, was resumed this morning. Mr. Kerslake, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Ray mond appeared for the plaintiff ; and the Solicitor-General, Mr. Royal, Q.C., Mr. Giffard, and Mr. Dowdeswell for the defendant. There was another action, arising out of the same cir cumstances, against the Duke of Cambridge ; but, after some discussion, the jury in that case were discharged for the sittings, unless they should receive to-night a com munication that they must attend to-morrow, it being thought probable that the present case would last the whole of to-morrow, which is the last day of _the sittings in Middlesex. Colonel Dawkins was called into the box, and his examination in chief was resumed. Ho was questioned as to the proceedings of the court of inquiry which was held in July, 1864, and his counsel sought to put in evidence the whole of the voluminous proceedings, but his lordship held that they were not admissible. He, however, allowed the evidence of Lord Rokehy to be read, and also the report of the Court of Inquiry. The witness continued by saying that he was summoned to the Horse Guards to hear the report read, and he was going to state what the Commander-in-Chief said to him on that oc casion,but this was ruled to be inadmissible,because the de fendant was not present when the communication was made. In consequence of something that the Duke of Cambridge said witness applied for a court-martial, but his request was not granted. He was not allowed after this to return to his duty, though he applied to be allowed to do so. He was reprimanded in a letter from the Adju tant-General in October, 1864, and on the 13th November his father died. He was soon after wards ordered to attend at the Horse Guards, and when he did so General Forster desired him to with draw all that he had written, and that he should there upon return to his duty. He declined to do this unless the general officers who had written against him with drew what they had said. Witness requested that he might not be desired to return to duty at once, or account of the recent death of his father, but he left under the impression that he was to resume his duty. Witness wrote a letter on the 12th of December, 1364, in which he stated that false statements had been made by several officers to his prejudice, and after a correspondence a second court of inquiry was ordered, and it assembled on the 10th of February, 1865, and he was ordered to attend and substantiate his statements. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant Judge.) Ceerw 1I ,nilt4n Finney, the young man who was con victed a month ago for stealing a silver spoon, the pro perty of Charles Cooper, the lessee of the Albion Tavern, Russell-street, Covent-garden, was brought up for judg ment. Mr. Sleigh appeared on behalf of the prisoner. On being placed in the dock this morning the appear ance of the prisoner was most marked from the tins( when be surrendered to take his trial. He was evident' ill, and appeared to be very much depressed. Mr. Sleigh said he understood that this young man was suffering under a severe (lisease of the heart, and all that he had to urge in addition to the good character whir' had been given to him on a former occasion was, that t' prisoner had been now a month in a prison, and uni these circumstances he entreated his lordship to deal m* cifully with him. The Assistant-Judge said it was most painful to court to pass sentence upon a person who was not only the position of a gentleman himself, but was the son of gentleman, and was one who, rather than commit offence, ought to have set an example to oth( The case had stood over to allow an application be made to the Home Secretary on his bohi for a pardon, but from the inquiries that h been made he (the learned Judge) had no doubt whate' as to tho propriety of the verdict at which the jury arrived. It was his duty to deal with the prisoner a would with auy other person, and the sentence upon was that he be imprisoned and kept to such hard Lebo; as he would be able to perform for five months. The prisoner, who appeared to feel his situation dee; was then removed. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) • 0 60 ° R. f Vdcli "e bail for T n R e EE , : d . smug : , in .AL.
