The Petrie preteens to have some hopes of peace, even after the manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas ; for be cannot, it thinks, be insensible to the checks that be has received, and the disappointments that he hu experienced. The Praise finds in the mani festo some indications of a pacific character, but ob. serves that they are so enveloped in warlike phrases that it would be unsafe to rely upon them.

The galleries of th e Ch am b er of Dep u t i es were crowded to-day, in the expectation that the great debate on the Convent Suppression Bill would come oft but they were soon vacated when Count Cavoer announced the postponement of tie discussion till Monday, January 8. The better opinion is that the exertions of the Court of Rome have not materially changed the King's determination. There is no doubt of a majority in the Lower House, although the opposition will be formidable as well u violent. The question is, what will be the fate of the measure in the Senate. If the members of that body were to vote according to their wishes, there could be no doubt of its rejection. But the crisis is so grave as to involve possibly the very existence of their order, ebould they persist in playing the part of ob structive'. It is impossible to say what may be the result of the various influences that will weigh upon their deliberations. Ine Court.

Despatches from the GOVOTIIOIII of Hong-Kong and Coy -11 lon were received on Saturday at the Colonial caw. evidence is the put of the ter, sad that Slither he nor the counsel for the archdeaon should make reference to any doctrinal porta Dr. PhiMarra asked whether the decision of the court applied to kis client r well aa to his (Ida emurel), be care, if so, the archdeacon would retire. Dr. Haggard replied that the commissioner had already so raided. Archdeacon Dellieen—My lord, as I should not, under any circumstances, have appeared to give any sanction to this Genet Of to its proceeding., so now the ealy one thing I came for is not allowed, I beg leave to withdraw. The Yen. Archdeacon, accompanied by several of his friends, then left the court. Dr. Bayford proceeded to sum up the evidence adduced ' on the part of the pronifter, contaniing, at great length, that it had been fully established, that the patronage of the livings held by the Archdeacon of Taunton was in the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, that the necessary statutory notices bad been given, and that the sermons which formed the' subject of inquiry had been preached and published in the diocese of Bath and Wells; and arguing also that even without the evidence of the various witnesses, there was sufficient upon the sermons of the archdeacon and upon his own aflldavit to warrant the commissioners in coming to the conclusion that prima facie grounds were made out for further inquiry. Dr. Phillimore then called as witnesses— The Rev. Wilson Pedder, the late vice principal of the Theological College, Wells, during a portion of which time the Archdeacon of Taunton was examining chaplain of the Bishop of Bath and Well,. 'Be deposed that he had been in the habit for two years of seeing the examination papers put before the candidates for holy orders by the archdeacon. Those papers did not show any tendency, in the least r:ot gee*, to adopt the doctrine of the church of Rome in refer ence to the Rol/ Eucharist, or any other doctrine in which that church differs from the church of England. The Rev. Joseph Wolff, LL D , D.D., Vicar of Isle Brewers, considered that Archdeacon Denison was a sound protestant member of the Church of England. Re was decidedly an evangelical—(laughterj—in the be s t sense o f he word. Dr. Bsyford detihisil to put any question is cross-oxagoi. notion t, this witness. The Rev. Richard v Court Beechen, Prebendary of Wells and Vicar of Cheddar, examined by Dr. Pbillimore—l base known Archdeacon Denison ever since he boa resided in the diocese. Hie theological opinions in nay humble judgment have no tendency to what is called the Roman doctrine respecting the Holy Eucharist. The Yen. Archdeacon Law was examined by Dr. PhiUl mer' at great length as to the part he was 'apposed to have taken in assisting the promoters of this inquiry, but nothing important was elicited. • At the conclusion of Archdeacon Law's examination, Dr. Phiannoys intend upon his defence of Archdeacon De nison, stigmatising rivet the act under which these proceed iota were held, and next the animus of the promoters. He contended that there was such a want of security in the indictment itself that the commissioners could not go on. The citation set out certain passages which were complained of by the promoter, among which were the following : tt Tnat the body and blood of Christ are really present in the consecrated ►read and wine; it is also true that the body and blood of Christ are gives in and by the consecrated bread and wine to all, and are received by all who come to the Lord's table." Now, that puaage began in the middle of a sentence, with the omission of the moat important word which could be conceived—the word " and "—which connected it with the preceding sentence, and which de motstrated the monstrous character of the doctrine here set forth. The 1 d counsel then quoted other instances if alleged misquotation, in one of which be said there was an omission of not less than fourteen pages, without the -lightest notice of any inch omission in the charge. It further appeared that the original complaint did not agree with the commissions and the notices, and, upon this discovery being made, Dr. Phillisnort asked for the judg ment of the coed. Dr. Haggard said he should not advise the commissioners to stop the inquiry upoa this objection, bat certainly to re port ape° The further hearing of the cam was then adjourned. At the opening of the court this morning, the 4th day of the inquiry, Dr. Phillimore inquired whether the commissieners bad coins to any decision on the technical objection he had rained yesterday ? Dr. Haggard said the commissioners were advised that as there was no variation between the terms ot the commis 'ion under which they sat and the notices which had been issued the objection could not be held to effect the pro ceedings. Dr. PhiDimon requested that a note might be taken of his objection, if he should think it advisable to notice it hereafter. The learned counsel then proceeded with his defence of Archdeacon Deniaon, contending that in the charges on which this highly penal inquiry was founded there wars such material variations, omissions, and discrepancies as he trusted would war rant the commissioners in not acting upon such indecently gabled statements, but would induce them to say that they vitiated the whole preceediup Tbe archdeacon was charged with holding and teaching doctrines which would render him criminally liable; and could it for a moment be justified that in support of that charge a number of passages were torn from their context, and intervening words left out, which negatived or qualified the mesnieg of the passage cited? Dr. Phillimore then proceeded to that head of his argumeat which related to the publication of the sermons in this diocese, and his posi tion was that it was the bounden duty of the prosecutor to establish by legal and formal evidence that the publication had so taken place. The preaching a sermon in a pariah church was not a publication ; a sermon was a privileged communication. He contended that Archdeacon Denison had not even been shown to be the author of the sermons, or to have sort or published them in any way, end that there was no direct evidence of the reception of any one of them by any canon within the diocese. Even if it were established that the archdeacon had made gifts of these ser• mons to certain persons, that would not amount to a publi cation; and the proof of the identity :b e t ween the sermon preached aid the sermon published, he argued, was of the weakest kind, heir g attempted to be proved only by Everett, the grocer, and another lay witness. Some dean, some canon, some minor canon, same priest, even some tithing man, might have been called; but the prosecutor had not brought them forward, because he knew they would not establish his case. When he had gone at some length into doctrinal refinements and subtle distinc tions, the learned counsel concluded by saying that his client would disown him, and justly so, if he put his defeats upon the emend that his opinions should be merely tole• rated Unquestionably he held his doctrines as the right doctrines of tN church to which he belonged ; but he had shown any with or disposition to narrow the commu nion of the Ethlish church, and to exclude from it those who differed from himself. He (the learned counsel) said again, therefore, to the commissioner* ' "Do not deceive yourselves by the specious sophistry that the finding a prima facie case spinet the arohdescon inflicts no injury upon my client. I say, my lord, to you, ss president of this commiation, judge him by that golden rule upon which every Christian is sup posed to act. Suppose yourself, my lord, in the archdea con's position. Suppose that you had been before a tribunal such as this for four or five days, that evidence had been ' gone into, and that orpiment' had been used at great length, and that at the conclusion your judges passed on you a deci• sion that there were prima facie grounds for considering you such a heretic as the Church of England would not tolerate within her pals. I ask your lordships, and I feel a strong othsciousneu that I shall not ask in vain, whether I you would not feel that your character was blasted to a great extent, that your peace of mind was injured, and that your estate was overthrown by such a verdict P And what ever the ultimate result of this inquiry may be, I implore you to give that judgment in my client's case which you would wish to receive is your own." Dr. Beyford hardly thought he was called upon to offer any reply, as the arguments he had offered uNan the con struction of the statute and the publication of the sermons had not been answered by his learned friend. He thought it right, however, to state that the notice which had been served upon the Archdeacon of Taunton to produce the manuscript of his sermons had been considered due to him when the promoter of the suit was about to prove what he had done; but that no attempt had been made to enforce their production. As to the Gorham case, to which re ference had bees made, and which seemed suddenly to have come into greet favour, he could only say that its effect on the archdeseen seemed to have been, that he was now willing to gine a latitude to persons who did not enjoy it before ; for is the very first passage of the preface to the first sermon, ne (the learned counsel) found these words— " I have been charged publicly by Bishop Spencer with maintaining doctrine which is not the doctrine of the church of England, end with having imposed upon candidates for the office of priest the acceptance of that doctrine." Dr. Phillimore having briefly denied the charge on the part of the archdeacon, and spologired to the comsiosioners end their rumor for any error or ezcess of latitude into which he might have fallen in the conduct et the case, Bishop Can announced that his brother commissionen and himself had given, and would continue to give, their best attention to the evidence and arguments which had been adduced, and that the inquiry was now adjourned till Wednerial neat.

A MAN AND HIS WIPE SHOT.—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF TEE MURDERER. Before the public mind can have well recovered from the shock occasioned by the horrible tragedy in Warren-street, it is our duty to record the occurrence of • ' second catastrophe very similar in its results, and in some of the main features marking its perpetration. The victims in the present can are a man and his wife, named Lambert, residing at No. 6, Foley-place, Portland road; and the assassin is an Italian Named Luigi B aaaaa formerly valet in the service of Thomas Stewart Drum mond, Esq., a gentleman of fortune residing in Scotland. The circumstances under which the murder took place may be briefly narrated as follows:—About a quarter past 9 o'clock yesterday (Sunday) moraieo, Police.censtable 36 E, who was on duty at the corner of Foley-place and Port land-road was called by a woman in a state of great alum to the house No. 6, Foley-place. The woman having stated that her master had been shot, the officer instantly accom panied her to the house, and, upon entering the hack parlour on the ground &or, he discovered a remarkably fine man lying in bed quite dead, and by his side a woman, who, in a half Greet posture, described herself to have been shot by an Italian, who, having first murdered her husband while asleep, bad subsequently discharged a second pistol at her self, and then rushed up stain. The officer at this moment was joined by Sergeant Hayes, 14 E, and rightly considering the apprehension of the assassin the most important business to be accomplished, they together hastened upstairs in the direction indicated. As they amended the staircase they heard the noise of some person knocking at one of the attic doors and calling out, but before they could reach the third their it bad ceased, and the sudden closing of another door on the same Sight led to • presumption that the mesa of whom they were in pursuit bad shut himself within this apartment. Before the door could be forced the report of a pistol, succeeded by a heavy fall, was heard by the officers, and on breaking open the door they discovered the body of a young man, of foreign aspect, extended at length on the floor, the blood flowing rapidly from &bullet wound on the right side of the check, and a pistol, with the barrel still warm, lying by his aide. Sergeant Hayes at once despatched the constable for medical aid, and for such other assistance as the terrible asters of the einem:am:es seemed to require. Within a very short period several medical gentlemen arrived, among whom were Mr. B. W. Boffin and Mr. Bridges, of Lang ham place, Mr. Norman, of Ducheu-street, Mr. Thompson. and Mr. Allen (surgeon to the police force of t►e B division), of Dean -street, Oxford-street. The attention of these gentlemen was first directed to Mr. and Mrs. Lambert. Mr. Lambert was found to be quite dead, from the effects of a bullet wound at the base of the skull, immediately under the right ear. He did not appear to have raised himself or even moved after receiving the shot, and be lay dead, with his head redlining a little to the left, as undis. 'tubed as if in a calm sleep. The pillow upon which his head rested was saturated with blood, end a portion of it s linen ease had had been burnt by the explosion from the discharge. Mrs. Lambert was found to be suffering from a dangerous bullet wound in t►e chest. She bad been awoke by the discharge of the pistol which had killed her husband, and terrified at observing Bu Ili with a second pistol in his band levelled at herself, she beefily sprang up in bed, and raised her right arm in the hope of shielding herself from his attack. In this she was not successful, and the aosassio, discharging the pistol, the bullet passed through the thick part of the right forearm, struck the collar bone, and then took a direction downwards, lodging in the unfortunate woman's chest. The assassin was nest examined, and a very cursory glance at his wound sufficed to show that be had inflicted upon himself' wound of a most dangerous character. The bullet had entered the back part of the right cheek a little in front of and below the lobe of the right ear, from whence it had passed upwards and forwards through the deep structures et the face and lodged in the floor of the right orbit, which was closed by its compression. The wretched man was not even stunned by this tremendous injury, and although the floor of the room for the space of three or four feet was covered with his blood, he retained perfect sen. sibility. Mr. Dunk and the other medical gentleman in attendance thought it better that Buranelli should be re moved to the hospital at once, and a stretcher having been procured he was conveyed, under charge of a body of police officers, to the Middlesex Hospital. As soon as possible after the removal of the assassin from the house a consultation was held on the case of Mrs. Lam bert, who was brought carefully out of the room in which her husband was lying dead and plated upon an easy couch in an adjoining parlour. The wound in the chest was probed and an unsuccessful attempt made to extract the bullet, which the medical gentlemen in attendance agree is believing must have found its way into the chest. This of course renders her CM extremely dangerous, and small hope is entertained of her life being saved. In consequence of her perilous condition the Rev. Charles Baring. M.A., rector of Alls Souls Church, attended the unfortunate woman immediately after morning service yesterday, and administered such spiritual consolation u her case required. While the medical men were engaged in their painful and anxious duty, the polio., under Mr. Superintt odent Fossil, employed themselves In endeavouring to ascertain the motives which had led to so deplorable a tragedy. The investigation was chiefly entrusted to Sergeant Smith and Sergeant Hayes, two clever officers of the E division, the latter of whom, as already stated, had been one of the first to arrive at the scene of the disaster. The inmates of the house were of course the first persons questioned, and from one of them, a married woman of the name of Jane Wil liamson, residing apart from her husband, enough was gleaned to discover the existence of very bad feeling be tween the assusin and the murdered man Lambert and his wife. Truth obliges us to say that if the house in which this tragedy has taken place was not of a questionable cha. ratter, then certainly its occupants are most cruelly maligned in the neighbourhood. From information given to the officers, it ',Tears that Lambert and his wife entered upon the testacy of the house shout three weeks before Christmas last removing into it from 3.5, Newman-street, Oxford-street, where they had formerly lived. Associated with Mrs. Lambert in the tenancy of the house was Jane Williamson; the two ladies intending, it is said, to carry en basins*, as milliners and dressmakers. They bad lodged together Nommen-street, and while there had formed an intimacy with Luiel Buranelli. By advice, it is said, of Lambert, B lit came to lodge with them when the house in Foley-place was taken, and while here, as well as previeusiy, the wretched man seemed to have conceived a sort of wild passion for Mrs. Williamson, pursuing her with his attentions in a very unmistakable manner, a n d carrying I I matters to such lengths on a recent occasion that Mrs. Wit. liamson felt compelled to appeal to Mr. Lambert to protect her from his importunities. The course Lambert took was to speak to Buranelli on the first oppor tunity, and to tell him that in consequence of his offensive conduct to Mrs. Williamson, he could not he allowed to reside with them any longer, and that he must leave the house. This happened on Thursday se'nnight. Buranelli seemed much hurt at the intimation, and replied to Lambert that he was sure that Mrs. Williamson did not wish that he should be turned out. Upon this Lambert called Mrs. Williamson into his room, and his wife appealed to her as to whether she bad not requested to be protected from Boranelli's annoyance by his dismissal from the house. Mrs. Williamson at ones stated that she had expressed such a wish, and Buranelli now consented to leave, bidding both Lambert and his wife, as well as Mrs. Williamson, a friendly farewell. A very few days later, Buranelli, writing from a lodging in Newman-street, ad dressed Jane WiUismson in terms of affection, and im plored her to receive him spin. Mrs. Williamson, per plexed, and not knowing what to do, showed the letter to Mr. Lambert, who strongly advised her to have nothing more to say to him, and to burn his letter, advice which she seems to hays followed. Nothing more is known to have been heard of Buranelli until Saturday last, on the evening of which day he met Harriet Miller, a domestic servant in the employ of the Lamberts, in Foley-plea, and told her to present his compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Lam. bert, and to say that he was going to Paris on the following morning. At ten minutes after niae o'clock yesterday morniag, Sunnelli presented himself at the door of No. 6, Foley place, and rang the area bell. He was admitted by a char_ woman named Sophie De Veen:, who had herself been let nio the house by Mn. Lambert only au hour previously, De Vets: knew that he had lodged in the house, and therefore was not surprised on being requested t • to take downstain a great coat, of which the assassin divested himself as he entered the boom, and to reesim for I[n. Williamson two small parcels which he placed in her Maids at the same time. She was, however, surprised 4. IMN descended the kit c h en stairs to hear the door of the beck parlour where the Lamberts were in bed opened by Bora nelli ; and while is the act of ascendiog to satisfy herself what could be meant by this intrusion, she was horrorstruck at bearing the report of a pistol and the next moment a loud shriek from her mistress. She instantly ran to the front doer, and seeing a policeman on the opposite side of the road obtained his assistance as above described. From Mrs. Williamson it was aseertained that she was in bed in one of the attics together with Harriet Miller, the maid servant, when she was aroused from a sound sleep by a loud knocking at and trying the handle of her door. At the same time she heard the voice of Galling out to her to admit him. She was in the act of jumping out of bed to do so, when Harriet Miller implored her not to let him in, as she feared something might happen. Mrs. Williamson checked her self for a moment, and called out " Where is Lambert ? " Buranelli immediately replied in broken Basil h, " Lam bert is dead, and lam his assassin." Mrs. Williamson was of course greatly terrified, but the sound of approaching footsteps up the stairs relieved her, snd at the slime instant Bursaelli retired from her door and shut himself into en adjoining attic, where the next moment the discharge of a pistol and a heavy fall were beard. This was all that could be personally ascertained of the assassin's visit to the house yesterday gaming. Bat upon opening the parcels addressed to Mrs. Williamson and placed in the charwo man's hands by Buranelli, some extraordinary facts were disclosed. One of these parcels contained • small daguerre otype likeness of Buranelli in a morocco case within which were enclosed two papers, upon one of which was written as follows: " To Mrs. J. Williamson. " Ressember this miserable man." An =intelligible word follows here, apparently signify ing— " (The victim) of love ! "5, 1, 55. "From LT/101 BCRANILLI. "Adieu, my dear ! "Adieu, my love I " Adieu, for ever !" The other paper inclosed wu a note written in a patois, something between Italian and Spanish, but which the effor:s of the reporter failed to decipher completely. It commenced—. Alnico Cavissimo," and concluded—. II tao infelice alnico." The following is a translation of the letter, as fu 45 it was possible to decipher it: "The night of the 6th of January, 1855. '• My Dearest Love,—l have been to the residence of Lambert, and have had wort! with him. He called me a tkief and an assassin. He did se several times. I did aothing to offend him. I leave you my portrait, my dearest wife ! lam sorry to low your friendship, and more sorry to give you so mush trouble. " Adieu for ever, " Your unfortunate friend, " Lino' Bunattnui." Thus much of what could be ascertained in reference to the tragedy at the scene of its recurrence. It kes been already stated that the 1811 Will was rammed to ?diddleaex Hospital. Sergeant Hayes undertook the charge, and the wretched man was received at the institution by Mr. Chambre It. C. Vigor's, house surgeon, who immediately caused him to be placed upon a bed in the accident ward. On entering, Buranelli recognised Mr. Vignre, and actually addressed him in famili,r terms, remarking that he knew him very well, and upon Mr. Vigor. ex pressing a doubt upon the subject, the amnia re plied, " Oh, yea, I do know you, you are the house surgeon, and I was a patient in this hospital a very bort while sines." Mr. Shaw, one of the surgeons to the hospital, saw B Ili very shortly altar his admission. This coon* the ball (or slug, for it is uncertain which) had taken has been already described, and upon Mr. Shaw's arrival an attempt was made to extract it. Up to this time, however, all surgical efforts have failed to r eac h it, an d i t I s supposed to be lodged somewhere in the roof of the month. Information of the dreadful °newsroom has been for warded to Mr. Wsktey, and an inquest will be empanelled at the earliest possible moment. SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND THE GOVERNMENT. It appears almost impossible (ssys the Hampshire Telegraph) any longer to conceal tbe fact, that considerable misunderstanding boss arisen between the government on the one hand and Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier on the other, in reference to the character and results of the operations in the Baltic. It is no secret that Sir Charles does not consider full justice has been done him by some members of the government in reference to the am oun t o f discretion he was empowered to exercise and the with holding of permission to undertake certain enterprises when they were proposed to him. The various speeches made at the Reform dinner, in parliament, and at other places, left no question but that the Baltic fleet was ex pected by ministers to perform greater exploit* than they have performed, whilst it is also pretty well known that Sir Charles Napier himself shared if he did not excite these anticipations. The determined skulking of the Russian diet in harbour of itself was sufficient to prevent t heir real isa tion, whilst the unexpected strength of the Russian foetal cations, and the difficulties of navigation in the waters of the Baltic, also further prevented the achievement of any brilliant operations. We are not, however, disposed to join in any indiscriminate grumbling at the results of the Baltic campaign, for after all they have been by no means in significant, whilst they have been obtained with compara tively little loss of either life or treasure. With regard to the thief operation in the Baltic—the de structionist' Bonsarsund—complaints have been made that it was not effected by an attack by the great fleet under the Admiral's orders and the landing of the strong force of marines belonging to the English and French squadrons. Some persons have even gone so far as to assert that this was actually owing to the want of enterprise on the part of the admirals, and that Sir Charles himself was the person who applied to the governments of England and France for a military force to effect the capture of the rapidly-rising Sebastopol of the Baltic. But, if we are correctly informed, it was Sir Charles Napier who pointed out the necessity of the cap ture and destruction of Bomarsund, owing to its menacing position as regarded Northern Europe; and also declared his readiness to carry his proposal into effect with the fleet and marines alone. The soundness of Sir Charles's advice was., we understand, acquiesced in, but he was directed not to undertake the siege until the arrival of a French military force. This, it is said, caused as much annoyance to the gallant admiral as to any other officer or man in the fleet, as he believed the trouble and expense of sending a military forte for such a purpose to be unnecessary. Again, we are informed that Sir Charles Napier applied for, and was refused, permission to attack and destroy Abe, Mango, and ,Revd. With regard to the expectations that were formed of an attack on Sweaborg, it appeared that a council of war was held on the subject, and that among others who gave their opinion, the French officer of engineers, General Nea', ex premed his belief that it could be reduced in tour days. Other views as to the time the operation would require were given, a general unanimity of opinion being enter tained es to its practicability. One captain of the navy offered to lead his fine screw two-decker into the harbour and run stem on to a Russian three-decker moored with her bro►dside commanding the harbour c:.annel, by which he declared he would sink the Russian although he might get his own ship much damaged. A distinguished flog officer, however, gave it as his opinion that the place was nest to impreguable so far as a naval attack alone was concerned, the destruction of a greater part of the Meet being inevitable. Weight being attached to this opiuion, the attack was de cided not to be made. Other facts will doubtlessly shortly transpire in reference to the peat Baltic campaign, as t►e matter will be brought before parliament on its meeting. Sir Charles Napier, viewing the order to strike his Bag as denoting disapproval of his conduct, has demanded a court martial, for the purpose of its being thoroughly sifted ; but we much doubt whether this demand will be ac ceded to. In all probability it will be refused on the ground that as Sir Charles has received no censure, direct or im plied, from the Admiralty, in reference to his performances in the Baltic, there is no charge against him to investigate. ARRIVAL OP THE IRRRLt.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam packet Iberia, Captain Edward Christian, Admiralty Agent Lieutenant .1. B.

THE PARIS UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION. (FROM TEI OFICIAL coaazaroxosxT OF TEI DAILY 1111W11.) PARIS, Jaw. 6. This week the commercial company will band over the Palais de l'lodustiie to the Imperial Commission; and from this time, owing to the courtesy of M. Pascal, the secretary of the commission, I shall be enabled to keep your readers officially informed ou the progress of this great undertaking up to the time of the opening. There is an idea generally prevalent, that many countries which contributed to the Great Exhibition of 1831 have grown tired of exhibiting—have been disgusted with their expe riences in Dublin and New York—and will conse quently not figure in the Petals de !Industrie. A glance at the allotment of space upon the coloured ground plan which I saw this morning at the com missioners' offices, would serve to dispel this idea from even the gloomiest brain. The plan closely resembles that with which we were all familiar in 1831, various shades of colour covering the space devoted to the different countries. As there has been a recent change in the allotment of space, and as the distribution as marked in the plan will undergo several modifications—owing to the additional room the com• mission have contrived to provide by erecting galleries in the long supplemental building—l shall not, in my present communication, describe the general allotment. Now that the Imperial Comte issioners know exactly the amount of space they have to dispose of, its final apportionment will, no doubt, be determined with out loss of time. This distribution once finally al lotted, the various committees will be in full activity. That they will have a delicate task to perform is proved by the fact that in any case the demand for space exceeds the possible allotment, at least by one third. This is not to be regretted—since, by this means, the committees will be enabled to decline the applications of all unprofitable or unworthy exhibi tors, and to send to Paris, only those contributions which will add to the value of the general exhibition. I may, however, state, for the information of Eog lish exhibitors, that the part of the building to be devoted to the English contributions has already been fixed upon. Next Monday the building will be in a state to receive contributions, and already preparations are being made on the banks of the Seine for the recep tion of goods. For the reception of visitors the pre parations are vast. All kinds of speculations are afloat to profit by the showers of gold that knowing prophets believe will fall upon Paris next summer. We may also notice that the press of Paris appears to be already making preparations for series of articles, by known writers, on the various depart ments of the Exhibition. The director of the Mimes des S ins in Rue Honore is, it appears, to edit an illustrated journal on the Exhibition, something similar in plan to that volume on our Great Exhibition published by Mr. 8. C. Hall. How far the contracts to which I have referred in previous communications will interfere with the success of this project remains to be seen. Ili e restaurants of the Palais Royal—even the more fashionable restaurants of the Boulevards—look _ _ forward eagerly to May next. I hope and trust it will realise all their hopes, and justify all their specu lations: but remembering how many men were led to embark mosey to accommodate our Exhibition visitors of 1851, and how many of these suffered severs losses, I think it would be well for the Parisian press to sound notes of warning. Undoubtedly many people will go to the Paris Exhibition who had neither the energy nor the money to visit London in 1851: the Belgians and Germans will muster in strong force (the war permitting the latter); and the English will cross the channel by tens of thou sands. Still Paris is a great city,—the banlieue is capacious—and let iLneverbe forgotten for a moment that nine-tenths of he visitors will be bent upon enjoying an economical trip. As I have before re marked the Barriere du Mont Parnasse will possibly find muses of exhibition visitors in its neighbour hood; and I believe the French Government would be glad to see this wide distribution of exhibition patronage. It cannot be too often pressed upon the attention of speculators that if they raise priers in expectation of enormous demands, visitors will either stay in Paris a week instead of a fortnight, or seek for reasonable landlords and purveyors in the suburbs. It will be remembered that the most unrea sonable prices were asked for lodgings in London in 1851, when the Exhibition was about to open ; but a little experience soon cooled the imaginations of hotel and boardinghouse keepers, and lodgings fell in price. It is to be feared that this year will bring similar experience upon Paris, if the matter be not taken up in time. Again, the reports which fly about, that lodgings and food will be very dear, tend to turn the minds of people who cannot afford heavy prices from the Exhibition. They give up all idea of a visit to Paris in 1855 in despair, as beyond their means. Now it is indisputable that a man should be able to journey from London to Paris, live comfortably in Paris, see the chief objects of interest, and find himself, after eight days' absence, at Londen-bridge, having spent five pounds. Working men should be able to accomplish all this—if matters were specially regulated for their benefit—for about 31.105. Unhappily, there appears to be at the present moment no kind of organisation having this object in view. Yet, after all, it is to multitudes of econo mical visitors that we owe the success of the Great Exhibition of 18.51. Again, the middle and working classes necessarily take more interest in industrial exhibitions than those who are beyond the wages or the profits of commerce. The Imperial Commission would, in short, do a work of delicacy and of friend ship to the English nation, by appointing an English sub-commissioner to deliver a lecture on the means of living cheaply in Paris, on . conveyances, monu ments to be seen, &a, in the p rincipal manufacturing towns of England, after the fashion of the sub-com miasioners appointed by us in 1851.

The court opened yesterday morning at half-pest ten. Archdeacon Denison was present for the tint time during the inquiry. Dr. Phillimore pat in minutes of the objections be had taken on the previous dsy, which he requested the com• missioners to cause to be entered on their minutes. After some discussion between Dr. Phißimers and Dr. Haggard, the minutes were ultimately admitted in this form: of the Rev. Frede•iek Begot, Dr. Phi Hinters was •topped by the commissioners and for bidden to cross-examine as to the motives of the prosecutor, " In the and the circumstances under which the prosecution of the Archdeacon of Taunton had been commenced, and was being carried on. Dr. Phillimore then stated that it was his intention to adopt the following line of defence on behalf of the archdeacon, via., to show that the prosecution was' the result of a conspiracy of certain persons belonging to a particular party of the church to procure the deprivation of the Archdeacon of Taunton; and that he should also ten t:ad that there was no legal proof of the preaching or pub lishing the said sermons, written within the diocese of Bath and Wells. Dr. Phillimore, therefore, claimed the right to share his course of crow-examination of witnesses in refe rence to the line of defesee. The commissioners ruled that Dr Phillimore should not be allowed to give evidence by cross-examination or otherwise, as to the existence of the alleged conspiracy or the motives of the prosecutor." The **nand minute was prefaced by a note from the learned counsel for the promoters of the suit, and was to the fallowing effect ; " Dr. Phillunore asked permission to be allowed to pro duce evidence to prove that one of the commissioners bad been recently brought into collision with the Archdescon on a question of doctrine relating to one of the sacraments, and that he had seined a personal hoetility ta wards the' archdeacon. The oommissionen ruled that Dr. Phillimore should not be allowed to produce such evidence." Dr. Milliners desired that then might be appended to the minute his statement that he had considered the re foul of the on thodrot day of the Inquiry to admit the plea of iscautio judicam, to extend to 'the resume io of any particular commissioner A third minute was also tendered to We effect: " Dr. Phillimore was 'bud proceeding to show that the passages expressly charged and complained of in the cita tion d upon the archdeacon, were not, as alleged in;the said citation, ' directly contrary or repugnant to the doctrine of the church of Ragland, and especially to the article. of riligion as by law established, or some or oae of them.' Dr. Phillimore wss expressly prohibited from adducing such proof by the commissioners, and from showing that they were not CO contrary and repugnant to the doctrine of the church of England as alleged.' Dr. Phillimore, before Dr. Hayford commenced his argu ment, requested the decision of the commissionen on the very grave matter which was opened at the close of Thurs. day's proceedings, via.—whether they would hear argu ments to show that the doctrine contained in the eermoos of the Archdeacon of Taunton were not contrary to the doc trine of the church of England ? Dr. Hayford thought that as he should have to contend, in the course of his address, that there was a prima facie ease as to the unsoundness of doctrine of the sermons, as well as to their preaching and publication, it was unnecessary for the commissioners now to prnceed for their judgment On the face admitted by the archdeacon himself on his afB.lavit, he should Intuit to the commissioners that it would be impoe sible for them to do anything else than to say that a prima facie ease bad been made cut for further iuquiry. Dr. Phillimore claimed for his client the right to be heard, either in person or by coshed, at any lauds they may choose, on the question of doctrine, as well as regarded the preachiag and publication of the sermons in question. Dr. Haggard was instructed to say that the commis donors had no intention of hearing any further remarks on the question of doctrine. The learned counsel for the promoter would have to sum up the evidence, but not to get into any doctrinal argument, or to make use of the Archdeacon's affidavits, further than in support of the preliminary potato u to the patronage of the livings and the preaching and publication of the sermons. Dr. Phillimore was very sorry to hear this decisioc,as.he should have to defead the soundness of the Archdeacon's views, and if the umnaiseioners though proper to commit him for contempt, he should bear that penalty. (Cheer.) He would prove that the charge contained in the commis sion was a false charge, and would not submit that his thine should be stopped from neh proof. Dr. Haggard apprehended that this coarse would not in fluence the decision already arrived at by the commission ers; but that. if it were persisted is, they would adjourn the court. They would not allow their feelings to be 1 : influithoed by any threat on the part of the learned counsel. Dr. Phillimore, denying the right of the commissioners to say whether they would bear counsel on one point and, not upon another, would tender the archdeaeoa for hearing. Dr. Hayford reprobated the extraordinarily indecent dis play which had beea made, and was quite content, on the part of the promoter, to waive the permission he had received to sum up the evidence, and to leave the matter in the hands of the eounissionen. . . Dr Phi Maori said it was extraordisary sad indecent to sofas, to heat a masa in his defeat* who wu charged with a grave ammo, sad not so to persist in 'baring tie innocence of his client. Dr. Haggard thought the coarse announced to be taken by Dr. Phdlineore was sot a proper one, u if ha was iajared by the proceedings of the commissioners, be had hie remedy elsewhere. Alter conferring with the comatiesioaers, the learned asseesor announced that the coestaiesionees were of opiaioa and directed that Dr. Hayford should sun up the A ,': f
