Tun Archdeacon of MIDDLINIX has been trying • curious experiment. Having wondered, as he told his clergy yesterday, the rules and maxims which the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council apply in dealing with ecclesiastical causes, and ob served how favourable they are to the defendant in every case, he resolved to submit them to an ex treme test For this purpose he took some of the most undeniably infidel works that ever were written—Ross's "Treatise of Human Nature," with the " Essay on Miracles," and the " Dia " logues on Natural Religion "—drew up articles against the author, and then applied the rules of the Judicial Committee to them. He found, he says, that it was impossible to convict Hulls by this pewees. A reader of ordinary intelligence bees that the books were written to destroy the evidence of Christianity and to shake the belief in GOD, but to convict Hues, if he had been a cler gyman, would have been impossible ander the rules of evidence, which are essentially those of a penal procedure. Without following the Arch deacon through his curious literary and judicial process, we think he is very likely to be right, and that • clerical Hums might get off with the remark by the Court that, "although " the book which formed the subject of the " prosecution might, as a whole, be of a ." mischievous and baneful tendency, weaken " ing the foundations of Christian belief, and likely " to cause many to offend," the Committee never theless would not consider themselves entitled to condemn its author. All this, however, only shows the impossibility of regulating the expression of the opinion of ecclesiastical persons by law. Arch deacon SINCLAIR points out that the Court is led to adopt the rules which conduct to the result be regrets, because it does not regard a benefice in its true light—that of a trust or office for which certain qualifications, moral and doctrinal, are re quired—but directs its whole attention to the mischief which would be inflicted on the accused by depriving him of his freehold. The Archdeacon knows, however, very well that no court of law could act otherwise than as the Judicial Committee have done. A great many persons will exercise their ingenuity like the Archdeacon in discovering circuitous routes, all leading to the same truth, that the religious teaching of a church cannot be regulated, though it may be hindered, by courts of law and Acts of parliament. The sooner those who feel with the Archdeacon that • Christian church is entitled to have Christian teaching recog nise this truth, the sooner will they get dear views and peace of mind. A few mouths ago we were called to notice the difficult position in which the English protestant missionaries in some of the South Sea Islands bad been placed by the extension of French power in the Pacific. The missionaries very properly considered that their duty was to conform to the new order of things, and only asked that they might be protected in pursuing their work of civilization, which was of no country or government To obtain this favour, however, was no easy matter, the new authorities having begun to close schools, cancel acknowledged rights of property, and forbid teaching. The Emperor of the French was appealed to in a memorial, which bore the names of several eminent Englishmen, and he immediately replied, engaging to Dead out instructions conformable to the dignity of France, and to the ideas professed by his government. Whether owing to this cause, or to directions given previously, the communications addressed by the governor of New Caledonia and its dependencies to the protestant missionaries at the beginning of the present year show a marked improvement, and are oonceived in a fair and liberal spirit. In a letter dated Port de France, January 15, his Excellency M. Gnillain wrote to the Rev. 8. M'Farlane, that be might reckon on the protection of France, and that he would not be shackled in any respect in the ease eke of his ministry at Lifu so long as nothing should result from it contrary to the French authority. Mr. M'Farlane replied expressing his gratitude for these assurances, promised to confine himself strictly to religions duties, and concluded his letter with these words : " I trust that the future will prove that this people can be good protestant, and faithful French sub jects. Also that English ministers can exercise the functions of their office in a French colony without Anglicising • the population." A fortnight after the date of the governor's letter, Mr. M'Far lane received from a subordinate officer a requi sition to take the following oath as a pre liminary condition of resuming his functions : Foam or Oars.—l swear and promise bathe God, is the Holy Gospels, obedience to the colonial government. I promise rho not to have any intelligence, ant to enesthela say league eider within (the colony) or withoot ; the h. assist is thy mussels which may he ossuary to estahlithed order ; and if in a th an* or elsewhere I learn that welting is entartnined prejudicial to the ahoy, 1 will make it known to the govetement.

Tagus, Omentaadaat of the Loyalty lalawls. etiapseeti, January 28, 1866. It is needless to say that Mr. M'Farlane could not take this oath, and he wrote to M. de Trove to tell him so. He had promised obedience to the colonial government, and Lis character as a Chris tian minister was a guarantee that be would do nothing contrary to established order. In his reply to the commandant he writes : I ohitict to the form, as it implies a want of catildesek. and also because I am not, and have no desire to be, in say .; '1 ~~ ,• , trey connected with the tatter ot any other ocsatry.

An oath in such am is nsasessiary. It is evident that the Emperor of the French has some servants in the Loyalty Islands who do not enter into the spirit of the generous iutentions be has expressed. But it can only be necessary to bring the facts under his notice in order to secure honourable treatment for our countrymen who live and labour under his protection. nit court.

It la fotioded au the nnasswessble principle that the area of rating should be the game se the area of management. It is, hided, Waage that when the New Poor Law was peened, thirty yews ego, this system was not at onoe adopted. To leave the parishes to provide for their own settled poor, while the union has the management of every detail, and can great or withhold relief to every individual. was a compromise betweea the old and noir spawns, sad is se iejarioes as it is illogical. Whets there is the right of iaterfersoce there should be the duty of contribution. Mr. Villiers tells us that this was the opi nion of the framers of the New Poor-law, who looked upon the substitution of union for perish rating as essential to the moose' of their scheme. At last the principle is likely to be adopted, and by taking this coons parliament will add to the security and well-being of a large class. Although the grievances oomplained of may be ditninishieg le some places through the good mum and right feeling of the owners of property, yet we cannot doubt there is much that at this time requires such a remedy as this bill will supply. The House of Commons has clearly expremsd its *pude., aid we trust that the policy of obstruction will now be about dared." - - - It most be apparent to everyone, the Poet thinks, that the perishes in the immediate vicinity of large towns bir oefit by their contiguity to the great maim of commerce sod manufacture, sod it is but nameable that they should in turn share the burden of eupportlag the poor with whom those towns abound. "That the burden might not be still further equalised we are fez from affirming, though we ion not endorse the rowdies of Mr. Knight that hell of the tams necessary for the relief of the poor should be paid out of the Exchequer and the remaining half raised by load taxation, in order that both the personal sod the real property of the country should be made to contribute to what is coofemedly a common natiocal objeet. This, how- ever, is a point which does not affect the merits of the bill, and cos, as Mr. Villiers pointed out, be masidered by the legislator* aa a subsequent occasion." The Herald theists that the bill contradicts every sound principle upon which our poor laws are founded. "Itis a direct. and at the lame time a partial, attack upon property. Bat it mime no question between the poor and the rich. The welfare and happiness of the cue are not by it balanced agaiast the righth and responsibilities of the other. It is flagrantly naiad to argue, in favour of the scheme, as though the country gentleman, the natural protestors al the destitute chasm in the provinces, were opposed to ,it because they desire to desert their paupers. They take an exactly opposite view. They want to relieve the distress in their own distriths with out sharing the pittance of the unemployed or disabled agricultural labourer between him and a mechanic to the town.

The Lady Jocelyn, from Calcutta, Jan. 15 ; Madras, Feb. 4 ; and Table Bay, March 23, ar rived here this morning with 124 passengers and a mail from the Cape of Good Hope, together with a cargo of Indian produce and 8,500/. in specie. She brings 8 days later news from the Cape than the last direct mail steamer. On Monday, March 16, a great meeting of Gaika chiefs was held at the Gaika commissioner's resi dence at Grahamstown, to bear a proposal from the governor for occupying the Transkei with °cake Kaffirs. The principality of Transkei rejected the proposition. In the colony this is stated to be part of a project of the British government to collect all the scattered tribes of the frontier, and locate them in one continuous serried force in their ancient possessions beyond the Kei. This policy is denounced by the colonists as a measure which, if persisted in, will at once check the progress of colonisation and civilisation in South Africa, and lead to a not distant Kaffir war. In the Free State the Volksraam has decreed that from the Ist of January, 1866, no foreign bank, or ' branch thereof, shall be permitted to exist in that State. This resolution is directed against the London Cape Banks. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON. MAT NI. The Royal Mail Company's intercolonial steamer Solent, Captain Reeks, from the West Indies, has arrived hem. She left St. Thomas on the 22nd ult., and Madeira on the 10th inst. From the latter place she brings 67 passengers, including Earl Brownlow. On the morning of the 14th inst. she spoke the steamer Delta in the Bay of Biscay. Madeira has been visited with heavy rains. The vines, however, were progressing favourably. There was no shipping at Madeira when the Solent left. She experienced a fine passage, and comes home for repairs.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nod ova own PARIS. liospmr Emma. There is a report that the Emperor baying re solved not to visit Kabylia will return to Paris sooner than was expected. M. St. Beim, who, it would appear, has been suspected, since be became a senator, of an intention to desert the Consistutionne/, writes to M. Paulin Limayrac to say that he is incapable of such ingratitude but that his "new duties" have so absorbed his time that he has not been able to furnish an article this week. Next Monday his Causerie/ du Lundi will be resumed. What this eminent writer means by new duties is not apparent. No inaugural speech is exacted from a new senator, and I scarcely think that the formality of taking the oath and the seat would materially interfere with the pressing occupations of any man of average Dern. Perhaps the review of the "History of Caner," a task only very collaterally connected with the duties of senator, was the thing uppermost in K Saint Benve's mind. I am rather disposed to think so from the fast that M. Paulin Limayrac, in publishing his private letter to him, says that it responds too preciously to the hopes of the readers of the Conslitutionnel for it to be possible for him to keep it to himself. This is a very clever puff preliminary of the forth ooming review. I observe that IL Saint Beuve does not sign his name with the prefix " de," which it was said he had been authorised to assume. The report on the budget will be distributed to the deputies on Thursday, and the rumour runs that the debate will begin on Monday next. This will be allowing little time indeed for members to consider a document containing 800 pages, Ste. ; they will scarcely be able to give it a first hurried reading before they are called upon to discuss it seriously. M. Emile (Hillier, who only a few years ago would not provide himself with the regulation uniform of a deputy because be was determined never to appear even officially at court, dined the other day with the Empress, and a Belgian journal , says that her Majesty conversed with him a long time, and "overwhelmed him with attentions with which he seemed greatly touched." M. Cousin, the philosopher and the translator of Plato, has, it is well known, become in his old age both catholic and imperialist. Many years ago be refuse 3 to be made a senator, but it is now said that he is so deeply moved by his name having been given to one of the new streets in the neighbourhood of the Sorbonne that he will no longer scruple again to fill one of those seats in the Luxembourg Palace, which he occupied under Louis Philippe as a peer of France. _ - - A people's edition of M. Jules Simon's most ono oessful work " L'Ecole," is published to day at the International Library at the low price of 3fr. 50c. The Gazette de France thus summarises the signi fication of the Emperor Maximilian's " statute," of which the French government journals, as I h►ve already observed, speak only in the most general terms: Acoording to this constitution the Mexican Empire, which is based epos the eovereigaty of the people, is so way whatever admits the Maxima people to participate in that sovereignty which he reserves to himself. He alone reigns sad governs, makes laws, and Wise taxes without the concurrence of any delegates of she Nation. Maximilian has decided that he will do without a legislative assembly ; bat by way of a est-off he intends to have a peat many fuectioaartm ; it would be Mmaanared of the Mexicans to complain. The Bourse was as inactive as on Saturday. Bente leaves off without variation at 671 r. 65c. and 671 r. 700. The general meeting of the Credit Mobilier, the result of which is looked forward to with intense anxiety, was not known during Bourse hours. The shares of that company fell Mr. 50c.
