If Private Faun had been tried by either a civil or military court, and bad been found guilty of robbery, no one could have found fault with Colowel Manan•xt. for diamiseing him from the regiment. But to judge a men against whom there is no evidence, for a crime which is not even proved to have been com mitted ; and to punish a soldier for an offence of which the man was not even accused, is something incompatible with our English ideas of justice. The only praise that can be aeoorded to Colonel Mae.- SHALL in the whole of this wretched affair is, that he has by his own act drawn public attention to an anomaly which should not be allowed to exist any longer even in the Household Cavalry. Exceptional regiments we beer with ; exceptional horses, clothing, and equipments we pay for ; but excep tional injustice towards soldiers in the service of the State is more than we can put up with, even to please the exceptional officers of the Household Brigade. earribl.

The present state of the private business of Parliament gives stronger intermit to the Report at the Select Committee which was appointed to consider the working of the new Court of Referees. The object of the establishment of this body wee in the first place to diminish the nix on the time of members of the House ; in the second place, to afford a better sad more uniform tribunal for the trial of mere ques tions of fact, such as the sufficiency of estimates, the engineering propriety of lines where there ate not two competitors in the field, and the question of the locus standi, or right to be heard in opposi tion. In regard to the first of these objects, the Committee think they have reason to report favourably. The period occupied by each opposed bill before a select committee, after having passed the ordeal of the referees, has, during this session, up to the 31st of May, averaged only 2.13 days ; while in 1863 and 1864 it averaged 2.86 days ; and in 1862 no less than 3.45 days. Up to that date it therefore happened that during this session a much larger number of private bills had passed through com mittee than had been the case in any of the previous sessions. This circumstance seems to indicate both that the prospect of an early dissolu tion had led to greeter diligence op the part of promoters and of Parliament, and that the new Court of Referees had to • considerable extent expedited the despatch of business. And, indeed, the Committee ascribe to the new system the credit of doing even more than appears by the figures, for they observe that several bills were either abandoned or became unopposed after they had been before the Referees, so that they crewed to be computed in the tale of bills dis posed of by Select Committees. But in regard to the second effect of the in stitution—the better, as well as the speedier, despatch of private business—there may be more reason for doubt. The evidence taken by the Committee baa not yet been published, but the lint of names of the witnesses examined can hardly be accepted as furnishing a very satisfactory repre sentation of the opinion of these best qualified to judge. The impression on the whole is, we believe, against the working of the system. It is thought to be attended with increased expense, and in creased loss of time to the parties, while there is some confusion in regard to the limits of the juris diction of the Referees and SelectCommittess, which is a source of frequent difficulty and trouble. But on the other hand, it is fair to remember that these inconveniences may in part be attributed to the novelty of the arrangements, and that they may to some extent disappear I when longer working has familiarised ell parties' with the procedure. Such, at least, is the opinion of the Committee, for they propose that next year the extent of the powers confided to the Court of Referees should very considerably be increased. They recommend that the engineering details shall in every instance be decided on by the Referees alone, and that when their decision is adverse on these points the Bill shall not be allowed to come before a committee at all unless the House make a special order to that effect. They also desire I that, when all parties consent, the Referees map hear, and finally decide on, all matters connected with the Bill. And as these duties will occupy the greater part of the time of the members se lected to preside over the Court of Referees, they propose that those members shall be salaried by the House, and that every other Referee, not being • member, should also be salaried. It is impossible not to see in these suggestions the va germof a scheme 26 for na reomcommit tee - rooms ,ov pri commit tee - rooms ,te bu siness fro m , and turning it over absolutely to the arbitrament of Referees. And indeed the Committee speak favourably, though without formal recommenda tion, of the proposal that the Chairman of Ways and Means, the Chairman of the Chairmen's panel, and one other member, should at the nn begiing of the session select such bills as they think suitable to be adjudicated on by the Referees alone, without any subsequent consideration by committees. Mr. Lows also proposed—though the suggestion was negatived—that whenever an inquiry has been commenced before the Referees is should be finally completed by them ; and Mr. famish( was defeated by only the Chairman's cast ing vote in a proposal that whenever soy Court of Referees should have completed its proper work for the session, the House might con stitute it • committee, and refer to it such bills m they should think fit. Moreover, the appointment of members of the House at salaries to devote their whole time to th e suties of the post of Chairman of Referees, is y evidently a move in the direction of confirming and extending their powers. These indications show that very soon the question will be forced for determination, whe ther the system of committees shall not wholly be abandoned, and permanent courts established to exercise their functions in connection with, but yet independently of, Parliament. This will be a question at once broad and deep for the new Parliament to consider. Apparently a question of only convenience of administration, it is in reality one of principle. Parliament at present retains in its own hands the duty of pri vate legislation, because that legislation is invoked to set aside, for public purposes, private rights of property. But if it ceases to regard this as a question for the Legislature itself, representing all classes in the community, to consider, and deals with it as one in which as soon as a competent judge reports that the public advantage will be served legislation should follow as of course, we shall have introduced an entirely new idea into our theories of property. It will then be evidently only • privilege be stowed by the public, and to be resumed by the public whenever a court thinks proper. It is not difficult to foresee that when this principle is este,- blished in working, and is familiar to the popular mind, there may follow other important modifica tions in the ideal sanctity of the right of property. But this change in opinion must be left to time to develop. For the present we can ask no more than that we may have • court, whether parlia mentary or extra-parliamentary, which shall, with moderate despatch, economy, and uniformity, de cide when private interests ought to yield to public. Parliament bee in many respects very ill performed this duty. But it has had one advantage which a more permanent tribunal would not enjoy. It has, sooner or later, faithfully reflected public opinion. In a less fluctuating court there would always be the fear that fi xity of rule would dege nerate into cast-iron formality, and that in place of loose justice we might suffer from strict injustice. If any man can invent a court which will not ulti mately become a slave to its own forms we shall gladly welcome it. Till such • court be invented we must, however, think a committee of the repre sentatives of the nation • sounder sod safer tribu nal to decide between osaffieting claims to public aid or protection. (!rein the tem Thei'y New.) IN the trial of Faun straw MARIKALL s which area :sported in our impreetion of yesterdsy, there can be no doubt but that the Colonel of the 2nd Life Guards bad law upon his side. The testi mony of Sir JAYS" SCAILITT, the Adjutant- General, is quite conclusive on this point. Accord ing to that &Boer's evidence, there exist in the Household Cavalry certain privileges which are unknown in other corps. In thane three regi- manta —two of Life Guards and one of Blues — the commanding officers have the power to dis miss soldiers without reference to the Horse Guards or the War-office, except in cases of pen sions and gratuities. Colonel 2.l.taaw&LL wee, therefore, only sot*/ in accordance with the rules of the service when he took upon himself to turn private Fenn on of his regiment ; but whether he was justified by the circumstances in so doing, or whether such an amount of irresponsible power should be left in the hands of any one man, are questions which will admit of reasonable doubt. If we are to believe the evidence sworn to at the trial, there was really no proof whatever that the plaintiff Fain had been in any way connected with the robbery which was perpetrated upon Assn in the month of July last. It seems that .Antrz complained to Colonel klaa that he bad been stopped in the Broad-walk, at Windsor—where the 2nd Life Guards were quartered last year—by • soldier belonging to the Colonel's regiment, and that this soldier had plundered him of a cigar-cue. Naturally enough the commanding officer was anxious to discover which of his men could be guilty of such an outrage. Ann declared that the soldier who bad robbed him was " a good-conduct " man"—that is to say, he wore on hie arm the badges to which soldiers are entitled after serving for several years without being entered on the de faulters' list. By this statement Colonel Mal sithu. thought he had a clue to find out the culprit, and he accordingly paraded fifteen or sixteen soldiers who wore those badges, in order to give ARNTz a chance of identifying the man who had plundered him, but which he was unable to do. For some reason which is left unexplained the Colonel appears to have made up his mind that the robber was private Fame, and accordingly ordered him to be confined to barracks on sus picion ; but upon the soldier complaining that it was harsh treatment to punish him for what he was not guilty of, Colonel MaasuaLz dismissed him from the regiment. Now either FAZE& was or was not guilty of the robbery upon ARNTZ--sither there was or there was not some suspicious circumstance connected with his conduct upon which he could have been tried by a military or • civil tribunal. If the former, Colonel MARSHALL was bound to have the man brought before a court-martial or • magis trate ; if the latter, he should moat certainly not have been punished at all, and most certainly not have been dismissed from his regiment. It is an axiom of ordinary English justice that every accused Person is to be considered innocent until he is proved guilty, but the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Life Guards appears to regard accused people guilty unless they are proved to be innocent. At the trial before the LORD CHIEF Juane; on Monday last, the counsel for the de fence did bin utmost to injure the plaintiff's c.ha• racter, by endeavouring to implicate bim with the loss of • watch of Captain Noarox's, in whose service, as soldier servant, FREER had previously been ; but this attempt tailed altogether. There was nothing proved which in the slightest way would cast • stain upon the man ; on the contrary, having been twelve years in the regiment, and having the right to wear, not one but two good conduct badges, it is only reasonable to suppose that he was • well-behaved soldier in every way. In fact, Colonel Idaisuam. did not at the trial attempt to justify what he had done, but contented himself with proving that in dismissing Faze& he had not exceeded his powers as Colonel of the 2nd Life Guards. In that par ticular every one must agree in the verdict for the defendant. So far as the evidence of Ararrz went to prove anything, it made out that Fazes was not the Dl= who had robbed him of his cigar case, and the evidence at the trial proves that his dismissalfrom the service was& mere whim orcaprice of the officer commanding his regiment. If there had been the slightest grounds for accusing FRIER any more than any other soldier in the corps of this robbery, Colonel MARSHALL was in duty bound to have the case thoroughly investigated ; if there were no reasons for suspecting the man, FREER ought not to have been turned out of the army. It is curious to observe how, in spite of every endeavour to conceal them, the abuses of our mili tary system come out into public sight from time to time. We will venture to say that in English civil life there are not &hundred persons cognisant of the fact that the colonels of the Household Cavalry can discharge men front the service at their own will and pleasure. Still fewer can there be who would defend such a system, or advocate its maintenance. The splendid non-combatant brigade of horsemen which is such an ornament to our' public processions costs the nation • vast sum of money, and is no doubt three times as numerous as need be for the duty it has to per form. Still no one complains of the cost of the show. Rut that the colonels of these corps should have the power which, in other branches of the army is only in the hands of mili tary tribunals, seems even • greater anomaly than that we should maintain eighteen hundred men and horses, for the purpose of occasionally giving an escort of one hundred men when the Quint or any member of her family goes abroad in state. Colonel 3faesnsia. has proved better than a dozen treatises could do that the power to dismiss soldiers from the service at will is one which ought never to be entrusted to a single man. Without any reason whatever, save to prove to an accused sol dier of his regiment that the commanding officer's will is law, he has taken upon himself to turn out of the army a man wearing two good conduct I , badges, who had served twelve years, and had enlisted for • second period of like length. It has been said that i one soldier of more than ten years' els:ding is worth two recruits, and that every I recruit of the Household Brigade omits the country som ething like two hundred p o unds before he is perfectly fit for all his duties. If so, Colonel MARSHALL has simply wasted public money in order to gratify his own whim. The rule by which he has the power of dismissing men from his regiment is one of big standing, and no doubt was made to save livable in the event of a Life Guardsman being convicted of a f any civil Offincis.

FROM PARIS. Moe ens owe oestanrosnaer.) PARIS, TocaDAY Evernro. The return of an opposition deputy for the de partment of the Puy-de-D6me, where the late Duke de Morny was for many years in the habit of walking over the course, is an event of the highest importance, as proving that the reaction against despotic government is spreading from the large towns to the provinces. M Giest-Ponzol, the independent candidate, has been elected by 14,140 votes against 12,188 given to M. Meradier. for whom the prefect and all the subordinate funo- 1 tionaries did their utmost. Only three or four days ago the journal of the pre femurs indiscreetly proclaimed that the issue , was between a friend and an enemy to the empire, and that all who voted for M. Oka- Pourol could only be enemies. It is quite uncon- I atitutional to put the case in this way, because nos l opposition candidate can stand unless he takes the same oath of allegiance as his patronised opponent. Now that M. Girot-Pourol is elected, the Emperor must feel that the officials of the Puy-de-Dome have done him a bad service in denouncing 14,000 electors of the department as enemies of the dynasty. In 1863 the Duke de Morny polled 21,421 votes, and the united forces of the opposition only mustered 499. Now, an op position candidate scores 2,000 more votes than the prefect's nominee. This remarkable elec tion, following closely upon those of M. Beth mont in the Charente, and M. Goerg in the Marne, must go far to convince the Emperor that universal suffrage is breaking its leadiug-strings, and that he must speedily resign himself to see representative government a reality and not a sham. The Temps says that the Vegessi negotiations are decidedly revenues—not merely interrompues. To say nothing of the old Roman and Neapolitan States, it was found impossible to come to an un derstanding even in regard to the Piedmontese bishoprics. Prince Napoleon, whose yacht le ordered to be got ready for him at Havre, is about to make a trip to the coast of Brittany. I believe it would be a mistake to infer that he is on any better terms with the Emperor than be was. His retreat to Pranging is only postponed for a short time. The King of the Belgians' son, the Count de Flanders, is now in Paris, and °mei. Fiche has arrived. We do not hear anything of Abd-eL Hader, who was to have been here o n the 25th. yesterday one of the Arab soldiers called Turcos stabbed a comrade in the Tuileries gardens, almost under the Emperor's windows. The two men were talking to a rung girl under the trees. One of them who did not understand French asked the other what she said. The answer was, " She says you are very ugly." At once out flew the sabre of the insulted Tomos, and he inflicted a wound which instantly proved mortal. This is a bad beginning of the rights of nationality which the Arabs are to receive by the pending Senates Coneuttues. The banns of marriage are published between M. Mirbs' daughter, the widow of Prince Polignac, and N. Roma, a manufacturer, residing in the Rue Bonaparte, No. 107. A book published at Geneva, entitled "Napoleon and his Historian, M.

The Nord of yesterday says ;—" Signor Vegezzi had a farewell audience of the Pope on Friday. Does that audience put an end, for the moment to the negotiations, or has the interview between the Holy Father and Victor Emmanuel's envoy supplied fresh starting points for their continuation ? We do not know. It is certain, however, that we have not yet received news of the departure of Signor Vegerri from Rome. The correspondents of the Debuts and the Temps do not yet believe in thefailure of the negotiations, sad the Monde publishes in' its last number an eulogium of Signor Vegezzi, which in the columns of the ultramontane organ appears to us significant as a symptom of the desire of the Court of Rome for reconciliation with the Kingdom of Italy." The Florence correspondent of the A certif. National, writing on the 24th, says :—" Public opinion is more and more opposed to all under , s tanding with Rome ; an important fraction of the moderate party distinctly declares itself in this sense ; the liazione, the organ of Ricaaoli and his friends, uses language which differs only in its form from that of the Diritto, and meetings follow each other almost daily. There will be one this very evening at the Goldoni theatre." a It is understood that the personal property of the late Mr. Richard Thornton, of Lloyd% amounts I on a rough estimate to 3,000,0001., of which he has rpecificelly bequeathed nearly 2,000,000/., his nephews, Mr. Thomas Thornton arid Mr. Richard Thornton West, being residaity legatees. Mr. Thomas Thornton is likewise to inherit the real estate. A liberal pro vision has been made for clerks aed servants, sod • total of 90,0001. has hest willed to be distributed among all the principal Loodon charities in amounts of 2,oool.eacb, with the exception of Christ's Hospital, which is to have 15,0001. The sum of 10,0001. has also been left in trust for the schools at Martoe, in Surrey, mid 10,0001. for them at Burton, in Yorkshire, Mr. Thornton's birthplace. There is likewise a tryst bequest of 1,0001. to the poor of the former place, and of 500/. to those of the latter. The pro perty comprises very large mouths of various foreign Mocks. The executors are Mr. Thomas Thornton, Mr. Richard Thornton West, Mr. Pafford, and Mr. Lee. On the 13th of September next, Mr. Thornton, hid he lived, would have entered his 90th year. On Monday the Marchioness of Ely appeared as a petitioner in the Coas t of Cheery , Dahlia. Thebtain MINI for the petitioner was that in 1864, being anxious to o palomino, on the part of her sou, still a minor, of Use leads immediately adjoining the Ely demesne, she entered into an agreement with the respondent, John Wilkie, to give a lease for ever of the lead in questioa. Au menses coadition was that the marchionsm was to be at liberty to pall down the dwelling home and other houses on the lands. An ab. I Mimi of title was famished by tke respondeat in accord- I awe with the egiveasset, but eventaelly it was diseovered that there was an outstanding lease for ever of the dwell lag house and 27 same of the lands which bad hest made by Jos Wilkie to his brother James, and that the leaps to the mirehipaess should be made subject to this loam. The petitioner rejected this proposal as being in frastratioe of the teems of the agreement, and presented the petition sow before the court. The Lord Chancellor granted a decree for specific performance as to the prenneas in the possession of John Wilkio, and referred the other matters to the Master for inquiry.

THE LORD CHANCELLOR AND THE - LEEDS BANKRUPTCY COURT. (From the Tints.) With regard to these two gentlemen, Mr. Botha and Mr. Welch, there can be little doubt as to whet ought to he the course of thee* who have the guardianship of public, and professional morals. Nor ca we demise Mr. Miller from the inquiry with the readiness which the At torney-General attributes to the committee. The commit tee may not have done more than express their disepprobe tiOn of his mode of proceeding and his officiousness ce seven/ ocossioes. Bat it is jest this " mode of processing" and this " cifleieumem " that we should like to ben more clearly explained. There is also a very ugly opieion of the committee respecting tint gentlemre's letter-book. Mr. Maur. part in the proceedings which led to end followed the reeignation of Mr. Wilde, and his extraordinary of l aloneness in preparing appointment. for Ms. Bethel and his confederate on a subsequent occasion, ere matters on which we bops the published evidence will give no some more light. "Whether there are grounds for a prosecute,. against him," rye the Attorney-G*4mnd, "we shall be better able to judge when we see the evideeen" It may be that Meese. Bothell red Welch kept their secret, but there an be no doubt that Mr. Miller wee most useful to them in their P treemetiorni. The reputation of these people, however, and of the Bev. G. Harding—who whether his charge be true or files must be equally infamous—is AA little homes:toe beside that of her Majesty's Lord Cbaccsilor. Of this able and eminent person it grieves us to speak in cosnexion with such shameful trensections as have been proved spinet the other actors or admitted by them. But (snidely the "baste and went of caution" spoken of by the committee is beyond anything that could ;have been believed even of the most overworked or the most smileless official The War from Mr. Miller suggesting to Mr. Wilde a retire ment ea the ground of ill health is extraordinary enough, whether it was written by the authority of the Lord Chancellor or not. But the actual granting of the pension and the filling up the place by the appoint ment of Mr. Welch ere still more wonderful Vit certifi cate given by the doctor is so worded that we wonder how Mr. Wilde mould ever have ventured to send it is. Lord Westbury ears his attendee was never celled to it, that if it had been he would never have granted the pension. But surely he knew that this Mr. Wilde was a man who bad misceeduoted himself in his poet to such an extent that he himself had threatened him with instant dismissal. Is it not strenge, thee, that when this incapable and untrustworthy public servant suddenly declared himself afflicted with what we most all a most convenient malady--one enabling him to enjoy in idleness for life • pension equal to two-thirds of his official nary—the Lord Chase Ater thould never leave thought of looking at the certificate I' Mr. Wilde is eons. fortably pensioned, sad on that very day Mr. Welch is ap pointed. The Lord Chancellor says be appointed Mr. Welch from remembering his former applications. His obtaining that Oleo after paying the 5001. to Mr. Bothell was, therefore, • mere mincideme, sad My. Welch in come sense threw away his mosey. Bat is it not extraordinary that le such • we, where there bad aetoelly been inis °Deduct in the alto, sad where it was expedient to appoint a tharoeghly efficient parson. the Lord Chancellor should eat take a day to consider of the matter? Instead , of making his choice among the large number of Northern circuit banisters who would have been glad of the post, he at coos, on the mere dictum of Mr. Miller " that it ought to be filled up without delay," pleas a perfect stranger in ft. Mr. Miller shows his areal reel In the matter, and it is worthy of sottoe that whether or no the payment of the 5001. influenced the ap- ;,. poiutmret, Mr. Welch, at any rate, thought it had, for be afterwards renewed the offering of gratuities, under the ITATIoNAL PORTRAIT Eimer/MS.—Thu Lords name of loans, to Mr. Bothell, a erect:lee which nearly trans of the Committee of Council on Educetioo bare received a Sigma him ~ _ l° • ..._l2°l°_, lucrative Ve,, the .. tke in tAnxicm •, letter from the Earl of Derby , suggesting the formation of • It most m a llow e d tha t Ilia mal'al"aa of "a national portrait l iexhibiees, from which letter the following Wilde *medal and the Edmunds scandal is eel. extracts are male have long thought that a natimal m t e d t o e rn p oe t pa n t o a p w h o on s a l ons portrai t exhibition . :. oluenliefr i d et atjan t t ii might not forthe purity of model life, Is both Guise th e Lord only possesportra oy g:Tin`th's most eminent coaryarapor.2:2ettat Chaseellor has by singular errors of judgment burdened respective ens, but might also serve to illustrate the pro the public with pensions to persons who in no way deserved gnus sad eredition, at various periods, of British art.
