B &WWI of French novels are familiar with the good priest who in the midst of • society full of sentimental and interesting sinners of every age, complexion, and degree, personifies every possible and impossible virtue. His authority is so gentle, and his severity so accommodating, that he creeps into the consciences of the most fascinating and the most obdurate offenders against the social law, keeps the moat damaged domestic machinery going, and converts the cupboard where the family " skeleton " is kept into an oratory where the lady of the house, on her knees before • private altar, stimulates her jaded nerves with occasional drams of spiritual ecstasy and hysterical devotion. Whether to satisfy the prevailing popular impatience of priestly intervention in the bosom of the family, or to repel the equivocal inter pretations of ribald minds, or simply with • view to probability, it somehow happens that the good priest is almost invariably a very old man ; very old, and very infirm. Now, with great respect for the Fathers of the Oratory at Brompton,we cannot help regretting, on their account and for the sake of all that is worthy of respect in their institution, that they cannot plead the inestimable advantages of the good priest of the French novel—age and infirmity—when they appear before the pub lic in the capacity of advisers of young girls of sixteen. A spiritual father who is described by the reporters in • police-court as " appearing to be a, very young man," is evidently at a serious disadvantage in such a case as that which occupied the attention of the magistrate at Westminster on Friday last. There is no denying that the English public with their heretical pre judices in favour of family life and parental rights and the sacred relationship of flesh and blood, and their imperfbct sympathy with "Fathers" who cannot marry, are disposed to criticize with dis agreeable curiositybroceedings of which • Protes tant parson (with • wife and several children) might any time be the harmless and even praise worthy hero. This we take to be the inconvenience under which Father BOWDEN laboured at the West minster Police-court in his searching examination by Mr. SELF; with regard to the disappearance of the girl M'Dzamor from her mother's house, and her more or loss voluntary removal to a Catholic " Home." The mother complained that her daughter had been taken from her against her will, and that the suggestion of her ; entering a Home had come from Father BOWDEN who, it seems, was in some sort the girl's spiritual director. On the face of such a 3 charge, it seemed to promise all that the most rampant Protestant public could demand for a wholesome agitation and a vigorous outcry. Here was a young girl of sixteen persuaded by a priest, a "very young looking" Father, her con fessor, to leave her mother without her mother's knowledge or consent, and to enter a place where she was to be concealed. Cases of this kind sometimes occur in countries where Roman Catholicism is the religion of the State, or at least of the majority of the people, and when ever they happen in France or Belgium they are exposed without mercy by all but the " religions" journals, and do not always escape the tribunals. Thanks to that horrible growth of the secular power and of liberal principle* which the POPE% Encyclical has lately condemned, s morbid prefer ence of the rights of fleshly fathers and mothers to those of spiritual Fathers prevails even in some Catholic countries ; and a poor little Jew boy cannot be kidnapped for the purpose of salvation, even under the shadow of the Vatican, without an indignant protest from the whole civilized world. The protest re-echoes from all the corners of Europe year after year, long after the little Jew boy has grown into a devout and most ac complished catechumen who prays for the con version of his benighted parents ; and thousands of professing Christians think more of the poor mother who was driven into a madhouse by her bereavement, than of the rescue from perdition of her child. If, then, even in Catholic countries the public are not reconciled to the salvation of little MoaTAlu.s and Cotters by the "good intentions " of the spi ritual Fathers of Hebrew boys, what interpreta tion could Father BOWDIS, of the Brompton Oratory, expect to be put in a London police-court upon his obviously and undoubtedly good inten tions in counselling and aiding the removal of the girl ll‘Dznator from her mother's house to a Home of refuge from danger and temptation t This is not the first time the Brompton Oratory has been before the public ; and although on the former occasion it was difficult for the sternest Pro testant to be angry at the "abduction" of a public achoolboy,who aspired to be a "Father" against his father's will, it was unfortunate, even for its own sake, that an institution like the Oratory, whose office it is to do good by stealth, should become tainted with notoriety. The present ease is one of which, we are inclined to believe, the Fathers of the Oratory need not fear the fullest investigation. The girl ll‘Dsamarr, it appears from Father Bow- DEN'S statement, is a flighty girl of IT, whose father and father's brother died mad, and whose widowed mother gets a living by a frequent change of faith. She has a son at home with her who is TR "loose upon the streets," and her Igar • •4is " been brought up anyhow ." Her lneratiie, if not her only business, seems to be that of • susceptible convert or wayward proselyte, moil. teeing batmen the Roman and the English Church, and pensioned in turns by benevolent enthusiasts of either persuasion. Her daughter, there is reason to believe, was not comfortable at home ; at least she told Father BOWDEN that she was in danger with her mother, and that she saw very little prospect of leading a good life, and should "run away." The mother insisted that the girl was very happy, in no danger of fall ing from the path of virtue, and was keeping company with • very respectable young man. But Father BOWDEN had seen her "in the " streets, and found her conduct there and general " behaviour and demeanour not respectable." It was to save her that, about • year ago, he, as her spiritual adviser, recommended her to enter a " Home ;" the mother then refused her permission ; and when Father BOWDEN, some months later, repeated the advice, he did not inform the mother, but intended to inform her that her daughter was in • safe place as soon as he knew that the girl was settled in the " Home." In the oourse of a very severe examination, the magistrate endeavoured to discover whether the Father had used his influence to persuade the girl to leave her mother without her mother's con sent, and in what manner and degree the girl had been " biased" by her spiritual director. To these questions we cannot say that Father BOWDEN'S answers were either in form or substance calcu lated to clear the atmosphere of prejudice and suspicion in which we dare say he felt himself enveloped. He was hesitating, uncertain, reti cent, and even slightly contradictory once or twice. But we must make large allowance for the difficul ties of a Catholic priest answering a charge of abduction in an English police court. At any rate, Father BOWDEN was most anxious that the magistrate should himself have an opportunity of examining the girl, and asoer taining the truth of his statements. On Saturday, accordingly, Mr. Sues, with his wife, examined the girl BM:Memo-re privately at his own house, and the result was that she returned alone of her own free will to the asylum from which she had been brought, after enuring Mr. SELFE and his wife that she went to the Home of her own accord, that it was her own strong wish, independent of any control or bias from any one else ; and that she should remain in the institution where she had placed herself. Mr. Surf., in telling the mother of her daughter's resolution, said that he thought under the circumstances the girl had acted wisely, and he entirely confirmed the truth of Father BOWDEN'S assertion, that it was her own act, and from no suggestion on his part that she had left her mother. Father BOWDEN had withheld from the mother's knowledge the girl's intention, and for this alone the magistrate blamed him. On the whole, the manner in which this case has been investigated by Mr. SIMI should, we think, be satisfactory to Protestants sad Catholics alike. Justice has been done to family rights, however questionably represented, and to the good intentions of the Father of the Oratory. At Rome, it we may judge front the Encyclical, such an inquiry will appear almost a sacrilege ; but, as Sir G. BOWYER may reply to any remonstrances from that quarter, in Rome we do as the Romans, in England we do se Englishmen. Sbt Court. OSBORNE, JAN. 7.

THE PRINCN AND PRINCOI9 OF WALES. —The Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Lordind Lady Wal elegiram, at Merton-hall, near Thetford, on Friday next January 13. The visit will be of a private character, and there will be no great entertainment like that at Holkham. The Priem of Wales will, however, be doubtless greatly in terested in an inspection of the excellent dock of Sonthdown sheep which has raised the reputation of Merton to a high ' point in the agricultural world. The Prince has recently obtained 50 Southdown sheep from one of the Norfolk Socks, and his energetic steward, Mr. Carmichael, will doubtless achieve success in the development of some choice specimens of the ovine race. The Prince and Princess will, it is expected, travel by the Great Eastern Railway from Wolf ertou to Thetford, from which Lord Walaiegbanes carriage will convey the distinguished visitors to Merton. The lament visit of the Prinee end Prince= to Sandringham is drawing to a close, and they will leave Norfolk in a few days. It is mid that the Prince of Wales is likely to become the purchaser of the Rushton seat*, about three miles from Kettering. The estate possums an excellent mansion. and presents advantageous shooting and bunting facilities. The visit of the Prince and Princes to Holkham terminated on Friday evening. Yesterdaywas the first anniversary of hie Royal Highness Prince Albert Victor, son of the Prince of Wales, born at Frogmen.* Lodge, Windsor, and the &widow event would have been celebrated there with the customary honours paid to the membereof the royal family, had not the day fallen on Sunday.

The policy which the based had always inculcated on its allows in Australia was that of steadiness and caution rather than that of making large profits, and to that poliey the chief manager there had constantly adhered.

The Montreal 'Jerald of the 24th says : Tbe recaptured five of the raiders discharged from cus tody by the decision of Mr. Judge Conceal, which for • day or two was involved in doubt, and is the case of those captured at Riviera du Loup denied, was yesterday set beyond conjecture by the appearance of the five as primacies before Mr. Judge Smith in chunber• We have gathered from various sources the par tinders attendiug the smut of the raiders. The names of those captured are Bennett H. Youog, their leader, William H. Htitchiairoo, Squire Turner Tear* Marcus Spurr, sad Charles floors Seeger, and the person who was arrested in Quebec, we believe at the same time with Spurr and Swager, who gave his name as Joseph But terworth. He denied having been engaged in the St. Albans raid, but at the same time said he wee a Ken tuckian and an officer in the Confederate service, on his way to Halifax. Spurr, Swam, and Butterworth were arrested is Quebec by the chief of police of that eity, Mr. Bureau, and Detective De Bass. They were set armed, nor was there anything specially articulated to excite suspicion found on their persoos. They were held until Mr. Pape', the gaoler, reached Quebec from this city, he having gone there with a view to identify them. On Wednesday he arrived in Quebec, and at saes recognised Spurr and Seeger as two of the 14 discharged raiders; bet Butter worth, he testified. was not one of those 14. They were brought to this city on Thursday night in the custody of Chief of Police Bureau, of Quebec, and takes to gaol at once. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the primmer; were brought before Mr. Judge Smith in chambers, it being on I his warrant that they were crested. Mears. F. C. Johnson, I Q.C.. T. W. Ritchie, and B.

" AIM 9, 1985. MENUS.. (nom out OWN IMPRESS FRON PARII3. Sunnkr Emma. One of the most furious champions of ultra montanism, Mgr. Doney, Bishop of Montaubon, has followed the Archbishop of Cambrai in sending a defiant reply to the circular of the Minister of Public Worship. Far from seeking, like certain clerical journals in France and Sir George Bowyer in England, to explain away the practical import ance of the Encyclical, the Bishop of Montauban not only admits but affirms that the doctrines which have just been proclaimed at Rome are, as the minis ter says, in diametrical opposition to the principles . . .. which form the basis of modern society. He glories in the fact that Pius IS., in 1864, speaks the same language as Boniface VIII. and Gregory VIL these Popes of whom Fenelon, the predecessor of the present Archbishop of Cambrai, write that they had made " odious" that authority which in the times of Leon and Gregory the Great was "paternal and gentle," and that they had "terri fied the nations." The bishop gives a pleasant point to his declaration of war by observing that M. Baroche's circular is dated January 1, "a day on which people are wont to say agree. able rather than disagreeable things." He snaps his fingers at the government interdiction by telling M. Baroche that "the doctrines of the Encyclical are already sufficiently known to all parties interested, and whose mission it is to pro mulgate them." The bishop will wait for " better times." That is a common expression, the precise signification of which in his mouth nobody would guess did he not take care to explain it himself. By " better times " he means the ten or twelve first years of the empire during which it supported the Pope and the clergy. He speaks of the " glory " of the empire during those years, notwithstanding the liberty enjoyed by the bishops, and obviously fancies himself strong enough to threaten the Emperor that his glory will cease if he provokes the frowns of the church. "Freemasonry, the re volutionary spirit, and demagogy" are the three great scourges of the age which this bishop thinks the Emperor ought to join with the church in striv ing against if he would go on "saving society." A legitimist and clerical journal, the Union de l'Ouest, which already laid under the incubus of two warnings, has been suspended for two months for an article on the Encyclical, saying that "the government felt that the powers of the state were in peril, and with a disregard of logical conse quences very common with people who are afraid, it slid into oppression lest it should be itself op pressed." This passage the decree of suspension says was calculated to "excite to hatred and con tempt of the government." M. Louis Venillot, whose presence at Rome has been noticed, had hoped to found a journal there, but it seems that he is more papal than the Pope, and that the cardinals are afraid of the man who swamped the Univers in Paris. The report which contributed to the rise of the Bourse yesterday, and was promulgated by an evening journal, that M. Fould's financial state ment was presented to the last council of ministers, and would appear in Monday's Moniteur, is con tradicted. According to credible information, the report, which, considering the time it has been waited for, ought to be a chef-d'ceuvre, is not yet ready. The Cridit Mobilier will perhaps rue the day when M. Isaac Pereire's pamphlet provoked the Bank of France. The government seem to have taken up breast high the cause of the latter. In the Constitution/id the universal M. Bonifaoe, whose encyclopedic knowledge is one of the wonders of the world, expands himself into five columns of figures, proving the Bank of France to 'be faultless. M. Itouland, the new governor, has positively challenged inquiry, with the ominous proviso that "other establishments of credit are to be inquired into as well." The names of the committee of inquiry are already transpiring. Those of M. Vuitry, President of the Council of State, M. de Germiny, the late Governor of the Bank, and M. Michel Chevalier are mentioned. I am told that of the many speculations patronised by the Credit Mobilier, the Gas Company and the nackney Carriage Company are the only ones really flourishing. The shares in very many other concerns are yet quoted at a premium, but the im mense amount of bonds which the parent establish ment counts as capital might any day be found wanting if a crisis were to come. A anuntunique inflicted upon the Gazette de France affirms that there is not a word of truth in the story of a scheme of which M. E. de Girardin was said to be a promoter, for lending 60 millions to M. Hausmann, to enable him to make new boule vards. • M. Alex. Dumas, jun., writes to the journals to contradict the statement that his bride wrote for the Constitutionna under the signature of Des roches. . . Priuce Napoleon gave a dinner the other day to the opposition deputies, MM. "Lavin, Gudroult, Emile 011ivier, and Darimon. The Preece states—and the fact is too monstrous for me to promulgate without citing the authority— that M. Desmarest, the bdtonnier of the Order of Advocates, has applied for leave to deliver a course of public lectures, and has been refused. The Emperor Maximilian of Mexico has repealed General Foray's decree, which reduced the customs duties by 50 per cent. At the time when that decree was promulgated the French only held one port, Vera Crux, all the others being in possession of Juarez. General Forey's free trade measure was, therefore, as cheap and easy as evanescent. The news given by a Belgian journal that M. de Lesseps, the French consul at Lima, bad been charged to offer the mediation of France between Peru and Spain, can scarcely be true, because M. de Lessops has been in Paris for the last three months, and is here still. The first volume of the Emperor Napoleon's "Life of Creme will be published on the 10th of Feb. mazy."

There were two charges of manslaughter, both of which, it appeared. arose from accidents in the public rime& His lordship remarked that it was msoes• eery for poisons driving through the streets to exercise dye are sad precautioci, end if accidents occurred from the want of the necessary caution co the part of may parson, be was of course liable for the consequences. Jo the Ant chime the prisoner was • cabman, sad he was stated by ems of the witnesses to have been driving at a furious pace, on. witness smarting twelve miles an hour, which ma certainly much too swift a pace for the streets of Lades. The woad case was of rather • peculiar character, and occurred in the vicinity of the Old Bailey, when the street ma not breed enough to admit the menage of three vehicles at one time. The prisoner wait driving one of those large vans which, his lordship said were so numerous in the city in she pre. nest day. The it appeared, was drawing • track, aid was meetly opposite • cart which was unloading. The thismer was driving Moog, sad although there nu no room, or barely room, for him to pass between the earl and the track, he persisted in maim the attempt in face of the caution of a person who was drawing the truck with the deceased, and who called out to him to stop. The remit was that he, in peeving the truck, struck and turned it over on to the deceased, and the wheels of the van passed over hi legs. Oos leg appeared to ham Mee protected in some way by • pries of wood, bet the other was completely crushed, and be died from the althea of the injuries. It would be for the grand jury to my whether in these cases doe motion had bees exercised by the prisoners, and if not it would be their duty to Muth true bills. There was a cane of wound* with intent to murder spiced • prisoner in gaol. It appeared • wards hod complained of something being oat of its place, and the prisoner remarked that be was always finding fault. The warder had 003•1100 to go into the prisoner's call for something afterwards, sad while stooping down he received • blow from the prisoner, who is was found had • knife ia his hand. The Injury did not appear to lave been very serious, but when the prisoner was afterwards spoken to and asked what he had done, he made ass of the wad s. " Only let him come in again and I'll show him what II do." The next ogee his lordship alluded to was • charge against • man for shooting at • boy. The boy it appeared, had bees tresperaleg _in • field, meths prisoner had driven him away. The led took up a stone, which he threateaed to throw, sad the prisoner, who had a gun with him, told him if he threw the atom he would shoot at him. The boy did throw the Mom, and the gun was fired at him, sod be was hit with the shots. TM prisoner said that the gun meet off accidentally ; bat lie lordship drew the attention of the grand jury to the threat which had been made by the prisoner previously, and said it would be for them to say whether the facts would war. rant them in renaming a true bill. Elie lordship then alluded to a charge spinet two pram for scuttling a vessel. One of the primers was the captain, and the other the mate on board the veseel, and the evidence against them was chiefly that of a witness whose testimony, his lordship said, most em thinly be looked upon with suspicion and care, as he wee undoubtedly one of the parties comerood in the traanacithm His statement was that the slip struck, bet did sot mho say water, and he was called down into the oaths ad asked by the captain whether he could make her make water, and he said he could, and took his tools down isle the hold sad bored two holes ; but they did aot let the water in fast enough. and he went down by the captein's orders, and made two huge holes. The vessel 6111111 with water, and was abandoned. Some of the witnesses who would be thandoed would state various circumstances which would somewhat confirm the evidence of the witesesalluded to in respect to certain WM for instance one of them saw him throw his tools down the bold, and another spoke to a °di vination between the witness and the captain and mate. Besides that it appeared that from the time the skip struck so attempt was made at pumping.
