He had no doubt but that if any' reaeneahle mode were presente4 to the heeds of the Roman catholic church for obtaining publicity they would willingly swede to it. The other division of marriages celebrated b Roman catholic priests consisted of what we should call mined marriage,. There the legislature had stepped in and in t•rt•red with the common Lew right of the priest. An act we, passed 100 years ago in the Irish parliament, which provided that any marriage celebrated by a Roman catholic ' pt Test, and where one of the ponies during the previous 12 mouths had professed him or herself a protestant, should be ail utterly invalid marriage. The ingenuity of the Irish hsoliament could not possibly have contnved a greater ardship and absurdity. He would say, once a marriage had been solemnised do nut let it be voidable for over which one of tho )artier could not have had any con trol. That was a provision which should not continue on the statute book. He would suggest that you should put the Roma catholic pried tu the same footing with regard to mixed marriages as clerzymen of other &looming. tions. Let them celebrate these mixed marriages, provided there be publutty, the same as any other marriage. He Ito that the hon. and learned member for Cork would not pyres him motion fora royal commission to inquire into the marriage law of the three kingdoms, and with thee, observations he should °occlude by miming, as an amend ment, that a select committee be appointed to inquire into the law affecting the contract and celebration of marriages in Ireland. Mr. WHITICRIDE seconded the motion.

The blind choir of the easociation was presoak and mag several pieces under the direction Mr. Swanson. arid Mr. James Summers performed on the organ. Both Mr. Swan sea and Mr. Summers are blind professore of mole, sad were much applauded. The report stated that the total number of the blind at preadult receiving benefit from the society and timbre iostitutions formed on its model amounted to 300, of whom 170 were aasistisl by the parent anoxia- Con, and 130 by the affiliated institutions. Of the 170 blind peruses directly aided by the society. 06 were supplied with emplornest at their own homes, 41; were instructed and em ployed at the institution, nine were engaged is various official capacities, and 49 received pecuniary relief and participated in the religious and mental advantages which wore 'Beaded to all connected with the associatioa. The employment of the blind at their own homes continued to be the most important branch of the moiety's operations • for while the valor of teaching trades and a ff ording to those who were deprived of sight general instruction could not be too highly estimated, )et unless there existed the masa by which those who had been so instructed could ears their ova Leis& all other advantages were in vale. The department for terehiog trades to the blind bad made considerable peewees and during the past year pupils had left the institution, having succeeded in acquiriog a means of livelihood, sad were now employed by the eocietv at their own homes. The commercial department had been considerably veloped, and the receipt for goods sold during the pest year amounted to 3,300 f., which was upwards of 61)01. more than the receipts of this department for the proviso year. 01 the 3.31.0. received) ou account of sales, moot. were for articles made by the blind, and the remaining 7001. for goods made by the Righted used in connexima with those of blind manufacturers.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-MAY 13. Sittings at Nisi Him M Westraiuster.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Sper..al Jury.) THE REV. MR. HATCH'S CASE HAWN V. LIWII AND UHT& (Concluded from yesterday's Express.) • The Lord Chief Baron summed up to the jury. lie said—This was an scam brought by Mr. Hatch against the firm of Messrs. Lewis, charging them--or the eldest member of the firm, charging him—with negligence for whet he did before the magistrate ; and, secondly, with what he did before the plaintiff's trial. There could be no doubt an attorney was liable for mnicooduct or miscarriage, but the present action was the very fast in his experience which bad ever been brought against an attorney is a criminal case. He did not at all consider that it was not maintainable, but it was impossible to resist the conclusion that it gave rise to difficulties. That was, however, the very mason why the plaintiff's story should be listened to with the greatest attention and decided with the greatest deliberation. He would distinctly state that be considered the pardon granted to Mr. Hatch should receive the fullest effect. In criminal cases there was no appeal, but it would be easy when injustice had been (lone for the Attorney-Oeneral to tell the prisoner's counsel that if be would assign error he would confess. This would be better than applying for a Royal pardon, which, however, was a most authoritative declaration that the party bad bees wrongly convicted, and that he was an innocent man. He did not think it was wise or prudent to his client on the part of Serjeant Sheen to exprem a doubt, if be had any. It was aot only inju dicious on the part of Silesia Mee to say that if the plaintiff lost his verdict he would be driven from society —say more, he did not believe the observation wee true. There were, he apprehended, two objects to be pined by this trial—the first was to clinch the verdict of the jury as against Eumia Plummer, and the second, which was a minor one, to obtain a sum of money in damages. Adverting to the period when the charge was first preferred against Mr. Hatch, he expressed an opinion that it was his duty instantly to have surren dered himself, as staying out of the way for a fortnight with a warrant out against him was calculated greatly to pre. judice him. It was much to be regretted that Mr. Hatch's friends had not come forward then with the some of money they had afterwards subscribed as security for baiL Mr. Hatch was sot acquitted, though he (the learned judge) thought when 100 witnesses came to speak to his character he would have bees acquitted. Then, Eugenia Plummet was triee m Lo r rjosejury, sod the jury oa the as signments gave a verdict, and she was found guilty. There was no dou the basis of her conviction was the evi• donee of Mr. Hatch himself and his wife, and it had no bearing on this cause. If the jury who had tried Mr. Hatch could have heard his evidesce, and that of his wife, on the' trial of Eugenia Plummer, no doubt they would have been lOW of an exams to have acquitted him. In bringing this make there bad bees .= of iweireal mouths, nor hail he made any the Masers. Lewis until be found he = k r " ! 1 4 proceed agginet Mr. Plummer. flat, however, did sot prevent Isis bringing as action now, *or could it premed him from recovering a verdict if he could sitehlith hie right to it. One ground of complaint against the delesdests wee, that so witnesses had been called in the defame of Mr. Hatch. Mr. Seijeant Mee said that all had bees dose that veld have been door. It was for the jury to consider whether all had been done which could 'eagerly have hese done, and if not, whether the sot doing it wag the came of Mr. Hatch's conviction. If they were of opinion that then most have bees a com mittal by the seighatate, X would be inipoamble to say there lad been any wait ef ears or skill on he part of Mr. Lewis. Then there was the charge that Mr. Lewis had neglected to cell witnesses on behalf of Mr. Hatch. Now he would at esess say that on the trial of Mr. Hatch be should have been acquitted, but the question was, could any witnesses have been called by any counsel of any discretion! Talk of the aims with which Mr. Hatch warn charged being disgraceful to a clergyman , it was unin telligihle in any one. Everybody who knew anything of the administration knew how formidable, though less so than in former years, the last word was ; and this last word would have fallen to the prosecuting counsel if witnesses had been called. Mr. Serjeant Bailsman° had given his opinion that witnesses should not be called, and Mr. Hatch having acquiesced in that view, the not calling of witnesses could form no dement in this action. With regard to Mrs. Hatch's evidence in this came, she appeared to him to be one of the most sincere witnesses he had ever seen. In her cross-examination, she stated she had written a letter to Mr. Plummer ; and what a letter t It implored him not to act harshly to her unfortunate husband; and when Mr. limner replied he would not wooed if Mr. Hsieh would team his guilt, he refused to do so ; for the first time showing a minimums of character in the unfortunate position in which he found himself placed. The chugs was one which might have iteggered a man of the strangest nerves ; but when such an accusation was pre ferred against • man, his duty was to assemble his intimate friends, and to lay the came before them. it would be for them to weigh how far the fact of Eugenia Plummer being Wren every morning into Mr. Hatth's bed—which was most improper would have weighed with Mr. &deed Hellmann* in his decision not to call witnesses. If they found a verdict for the plaintiff, the gnostic. of damages was r4 s iarly for them, and they would award such as they thought he was entitled to under the circumstances— with regard to his own conduct, and bow far that conduct bad eoutributed to the result.. The second count stated that it was on account of the defendants' neglect he had been convicted. He did not, however, think the plaintiff was bound by that, for if the defendants' neglect largely esatributed to the plaintiff's imprimonment, the defendants were amenable. Bat if they thought that it would not have been wise or politic to have called witnesses under the cir cumstances—the nature of the charge—the fact that the plaintiff had resigned his living—his retirement—on that they should find for the defendants. He wished in the firmest voice to my be threw no doubt on the imams:me of Mr. Hatch, and he again mid that he ought to have been acquitted although be had committed unhappy and unfortunate errors of judg ment. hey would now consider their verdict. Mr. Chambers—Before the jury retire I must ask your lordship to put this question to them—" Did the defendants use proper care, skill, and diligence in preparing sad con ducting the case of Mr. Hatch, and take re le care in conducting his defence.* The Lord Cilia Bata--I am clearly of opinion I should not pat that Mr. Chambers then tendered • bill d escaptioes to his lordship's Mies.

In this ems a person named Jones had effected a policy of laeUrileee for 2501. with the defendants, the condition being that if he 'tied in consequence of accident or °Am ides within the meaning of the policy within one year they would pay to his relations the above amount ; or if he should sustain personal Injury, he should be entitled to resolve 30s. per week. In September 1856, Jones, who had taken a return ticket for Brighton, left his friends (taking with him his carpet hag) for the purpose of bathing. About an hour afterwards his clothes were found on the beach, but from that time to tl.is Jones had not been heard of. On the 30th August a dead body was washed ashore at Walton-oo.the-Naze, but the features were so disfigured that they could not be recognised ; but the relatives who viewed the body expressed their belief that it was Jean's body. The jury at the inquest returned a venlict of "a person unknown." The defendants refused to pay the policy, oa the ground that the death did not come within the words "that it was caused by outward and visible means, of which satisfactory proof should be rendered to the directors, nor if the death was caused by suicide, or whilst in a state of intoxication." On the trial before the Lord Chief Baron he noosuited the plaintiffs. Subsequently a rule was obtained to set it aside, but dis charged. The plaintiffs then appealed to this court. Mr. Francis appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Lush, Q.C., for the defendants. TM Court said the decision of the Court of Exchequer was u me m dgaw. Jnt reversed. COURT OF PROBATE AND mows.

Trout that time until January, 1859, be cautioned the business alone. At the time of Charles Janne Troughtoo's death his account was overdrawn with the bank 5501.

In 1857, it was overdraws 7,9001., and in 18514_15,00M Os the Ist at January. 1860, when he joined Mr. Trougliton, his present partner in business, his account was overdraws 15,9991. Had no capital in the business, but had property out cf it. He knew Mr. Edward Rowland. Mr. Rowland was a partner with llamas Beane, and Rowland and Evans were customers of the bask. In 1856 they were bankrupts, and he proved a debt of 2,8861. He gave is the securities be held, and received no dividend tinder the baakruptcy : After that bankruptcy, Mr. Rowland reopened an accoOnt in February, 1857. After that time Rowland's name appeared in the monthly balance-sheets which were prepared. Before January, 1859, he found that Rowland's account had sometimes been overdrawn, and he had complained to Mr. Troughton. Rowland had made representations that he would be able to pay everything. Before Jamary, 1859, Rowland's account bein g overdrawn, he compbtined to Mr.Troughtonof his Instructions not being attended to. When the partnership between Rowland and Heruamann was dissolved in July, 1859, the account of Row land was overdrawn up to January, 1 8 60. He had con 'tautly complained of this to Mr. Naughton. Did not know whether the bank at that time held any security for their debt. Mr. Troughtou managed the whole of that affair, and Rowland promised to give him some mortgagee. Rowland represented it so strongly to Mr. Troughten as to induce witness to continue the account. After the Ist of January , 1860, he found Rowland's account cootently in eroaeed bank were in the habit of discounting Rowland's promissory notes, and placing them to the credit of his ac count. On June 5, 1860, she account we overdrew' 0001., and they also held Rowland's promissory notes for 1,1001., which were dishonoured. He ought to have known of the state of the accounts at that time, but did sot. He was away at that time—he might say from May to August. He was at the bank two or three times a week. He had not looked at the "rnadoom" book as he should have done. Looked at the balancebook. Froth the sth of June down to October the aooount of Rowland was continually in •=2l. Troughtus had told him that Rowland bad re y applied to him for moony to pay creditors who were mane him. Had also applied for cash to pay wages to his workmen. First looked into his affairs in October. He found be looked into the affairs of the bank in the middle of September. His induce ment was the large emoting of Evan's talk (20,0000 under discount, besides which then was a large mama on the account unpaid. He urged Mr. Troughton to close the socount as soon as possible. He was aware that throughout the whole of the year 1850 the account of Evans Brothers was °ardently increasing. He continuall y . complained of this to Mr. Troughtou. The amount still increased, they * 0 0 13 6 papers showing they would give securitim, such as Ste.

He always looked on the ao . mount of Ream Brothers as a " dangerous" cos, and me continued much against his will. At the end of August, 1800, the bank disocassited for Evans Brothers two promis sory notes--one for 1,0001. and the other for 1,2001.—0 n ac count of the contract foe Mr. Davies. It was a contract to build houses for his mother en the Houton estate. Witness acted as agent for his mother ie the matter. The money was advanced to Evans Brothels on security of the contract, during the year 1860. lie entered into contrasts with Evans for budding se the Hortes estate. The monies paid °Demount of that estate by the bank were for Mrs. Davies. Had never represented that the property belonged to him. It belonged to his mother. He observed that in the account in the boob his MIN was scratched out, and *et of his mother substituted. It was done by his direction. He drew cheques for his mother in his own same. He put on' them "B. A. (Building Account), for the guidance of the clerks in the bank. Me never had himself investigated ' the hooks of Evans &Mims. Beyond the representations made by Troughton, did not know anything of Evana's amount. Just before the closing of this account, had inter views with Mr. M`Kewan, the meager of the London and County Bank. Was anxious that they should take the bank off their hands. Mr. hilLewan prepared a statement of their affairs. Did not know it showed the bank could not pay 10e. in the pound ; usdentiood *het it could pay 12s. in the pound.

Mr. Lawrence mid they were provoked by the interlo cutory observations of Mr. Linklater, who invited the cheers and responses. Mr. Linklater— I beg your pardon.

He had bean induced by Forsyth, on the death of hie brother Jaeepli, to become a partner. He paid Forsyth 1,0001. to go out. Boyeed the fact of Rowland and Evans having been bankrupt, he had no doubt of their honesty and in tegrity. Knew that they obtained Int-clam certificates.

THE POLICE COUR: TS. 11A11810N-HOUSE Parry Comet, &eeryreepectaileasd sitrwnel go od look has young woman, was brought up oa remand, with stealing A. from the till at the Railway 'ravers, don street, Fenchurchetreet. Mr. Child appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner defended. It appeared that Mr. Forster, the proprietor of the tavern, has for some months missed money from the till, aad being unable to find out the delinquent, he marked some money sad gave it to different persons, who went to the tavern to purchase articles with it. In the evening, as a matter of form, the prisoner, who was the barmaid, was asked to pro duce what mosey she had about her. She subsequently took from her pocket se. 6d., amongst which were two shillings which the prosecutor had previously marked. The prisoner accounted for them by saying that she gave change for one shilling from her pocket, and lent the pro secutor Is. 6d., all of which she paid herself from the till. Mr. Wontner cross-examined the prosecutor at some length, and the Lord Mayor said he did not think it DOM wry to proceed with the use any further. The evidence was sot sufficiently strong against her. He should, there fore, discharge her. The decision of his lordship was received with loud cheers by the audience, and it was with some difficulty that the officers could restore order. Willsdm Kraus, a German shoemaker, about 40 years of ems, and dwelling with his children at No. 6, Plummer's row Mile-end Old Town, was charged with assaulting Elirbeth Holmes, a married woman, of Grove-cottage, Shacklewell. The prisoner was arrested on Monday night. The complainant, a most respectable and ladylike female, who was much agitated and trembled excessively while giving her evidence, stated that on Tuesday night last, about half•past 8 o'clock, she was passing along Oran fieldntreet, Whitecbapel, when the prisoner came o to her, looked vary fiercely at her, and walked aloopi d e of her a few yards, and then seized her in him arms and said, " I have gotyou." She called out " Murder,* and said " Leave me alone." A crowd &rambled and she appealed to them for ameastance. They were all Germans, and did not pay any attention to her. The prisoner continued his grasp of her, and pushed and kicked her along the street for a distance of 200 yards. She repeatedly said to him, "Let me go, if you want my money take it." At last she reached the door of a chandler's shop, and implored of a woman there to relieve her. The woman at first refused, ' and told her to go away, but ultimately released and slag. hired her. The prisoner then ran away. She was very son all over, particularly about the cheat, from the pr. sneer's violence. In answer to questions by Mr. Wch, the witness said that she allowed the prisoner no f amil iarities, and did not converse with him about the weather or time of day before he seined her. She never talked to or held maims. nications with strangers, whether on foot, in a railway car riage, or in an omnibus. The prisoner, in defence, said that his wife, who was thirty-eight years of age, left him a few weeks ago, and eloped with a young man. He met the complainant in Greenfieldatreet on Friday night, and mistaking mil, his wife, said to her in German, " Dear wil s, diwz do come home and look at your children, and them you may go again." He pushed her along, when she resits& and directly be found out his mistake be left her. He had since made an apology for his conduct, and was very sorry for what had happened. Kra. Holmes was recalled, and said the p en oner only spoke three words to her, and in English, " Ire got you. She did not hear him speak in German. For the defence several witnesses were called, who said the prisoner's wife had abandoned her homes he demand, and that the complainant, in stature and appearance, was very much like her, and their drowse, particularly their shawls, were similar. On Friday night a httle girl told the prisoner his wife was in Greenlieldetrest, and he west there, and seeing the complainant put his arms round her waist, and mid to her, in German, •My wife, my i come home ;" and then led her aloes the foot-path, brt not kick her or push her. Ihs. Hitchcock, who keeps the chandler's shop referred to is the evidence of Mrs. Holmes, said that wheo she saw the prisoner struggling with the complainant at her door, she refused to interfere, believing she was his wife ; but when Mrs. Holmes exclaimed, " I don't know the fellow, " witness maid to Kraus, " You have made a mistake. o about your bruiser." Mr. Weary& mid the complainant was not 3$ or any thing like it, and was a respectable woman who had con ducted herself with great propriety. He believed a mistake had been committed by the poisoner. it was agreet blunder, but he did not think the prisoner intended to hurt the com plainant. He dismissed the ease. The prisoner was discharged. MARKETS. 007TON.—Liviaroos, Mar 14.—Market steady, bat business drooping. Market closes quietly at yesterday's quotations.

The cloth market has become perhaps quieter on the whole than even it was last Tuesday, and the value of all deacrip• tins is somewhat lower. There is only a very trifling busi ness going on for any quarter. Some diversity of opinion to the encouragement, re or the verse, to be found ri v lis aila lad accounts from China. There is more inquiry, no doubt, for 40.iisch shirting suited to that market, but it leads to very little business, and the prices are those of last week. In some quarters the commercial advice. Iran both India and China are looked upon as most unfavourable, those from the latter country_ especially, where the sales reported are bo th small and unremunerative. In the yarn market there seems to have been more deposi tion to purchase for China at but week's prices. There is so great activity in any direction, yet the market for yarns lewdly shows more steadiness. Last week's quotations are appareatly agreed upon more mutually between thyme and sellers, and at those rates there is to-day a moderate sale of yarns for the Mediterranean, and more doing also for Gerumay. In No. WY', 70's, and 80's (twofold) for Germany then has been a tolerably brisk demand, and the market has been pretty well cleared of them, at advancing prices. The failure of several smell manufacturers is talked about today, but the report in each case needs confirmation.
