Is an hour of affliction like the present it is as fitting and natural to be sensible of our special blessings as in the gayest times of prosperity ; and it is probable, therefore, that a multitude of the Qust,i's subjects have been thinking, within the last few days, what a blessing it is at once to her and to us that our form of society is a consti tutional monarchy, and that she is, sa we are accustomed to say, the most constitutional monarch who has occupied the English throne. In either extreme of fortune, national or individual, it is the greatest of privileges to live under a supreme law,— to be subject to a clear rule of duty about which all men agree, and by which all abide. A month ago, when we consi dered ourselves altogether happy and prosperous, when • valuable harvest was well housed, when we were at peace with all the world, and when our royal family was oomplete--parents and children looking forward to a long future together —in that recent happy time Sovereign and people enjoyed the repose of mind which belongs to a common dependence upon that majestic authority of law which controls all waywardness in our rulers, and precludes all dissensions between sove reign and people. And now, when war seems to be impending, and when we are all grieving over the loneliness in which our Qrtze Linda herself standing, we find the strongest consolation we can admit in the thought of her being guarded and guided by the strict limitations of her powers and her duties as Sovereign, and of her being thus enabled to profit by the guardianship and guidance of her Ministers, and, we might almost add, of all her subjects. It is a mistake to suppose that in the proudest hour of the greatness of an absolute sovereign, he is greater than a constitutional ruler. If law does not confine him within felt limits, circumstances do ; and those circumstances in themselves coustitute • heavy care ; whereas, the limitations prescribed by law give nothing but repose to • conscientious mind. Where • despotic ruler lavishes money without stint, and seems able to do whatever ho wills, there is from the outset • certainty of ultimate difficulty, debt, and disgrace, besides the real, substantial burden of an unfixed judgment, and of the gravest personal responsi bility. Where a constitutional ruler is on the footing which exists in this country, there is no room for any wavering of will, for wayward im pulses, for burdensome responsibility, or for future remorse. While an Emperor and Empress are spending millions on millions, without rendering an account, they may seem to the vulgar to be very great and happy ; but the real ease is with t►e Kovereign who devolves the responsibility on her Parliament and Ministers, and keeps her expenses within the bounds of her own income. There is no day of discredit sad confession and irksome retrenchment in store for her, at the end of a hug mune at emberramment, misgiving, and dread- This it is, in regard to the possession and nee of other powers than money. Where then is a standard of law set up, to which ruler and people absolutely defer, there is a unity of view and feeling established between them which gives a common ease, and • mutual understanding of which no conception can exist in countries whore another form of goventinent exists. It is this which gives a really constitutional Sovereign in this country a steady popularity and • permanent hold on the national affections altogether unap preached elsewhere. It lightens the task of ruling, and renders the cheerful obedience of the ruled • matter of course. Thus, in quiet days, is there peace in high places in our happy country ; ths thorns are absent from the crown ; and Sovereign and people run their course side by side, with. out mystery, dirfroini or slionatiom This is supposing that the Sovereign is moditistioaal by conviction, and not from oompalsime ; sad (wild& is the same thing) that the Sovereign is conecientions, and not selfish and wayward. Happily, there was nothing so striking in the Onion of our Qom and her late COnsorr as their common conscien tiousness. In both, duty was the one strong in terest, the prominent consideration with one as much as the other. It is well said that sincerity is rare, because sincerity is made up of mveral requisites, and belongs to • total cast of character. It so happened that both had the requisites and the cast of character. Sincerity marked their Manners, and integrity was the substantial quality of their lives. They were therefore qualiked to enjoy the repose and freedom of allegiance to the constitution, and their perfect deference to it re lieved them of a host of anxieties and apprehen sions which haunted almost every other pAlace in Europe. If such was the blessing in bright and easy times, what is it not nowt The first thing that everybody said when the news of the Qusza's bereavement spread through the country was, oh ! who is so lonely as she !" True as this is, in one sense, it is also true that in no other coun try could she, in the same position, have been so certain of co-operation, help, and guardianship, as well as of affectionate sympathy. Her responsi bilities are shared and her counsels guided by her Ministers, themselves instructed and guided by the constitution. She can never be, like the possessors of irresponsible powers, " the sport of " chance desires ;" but her course is laid down for her by an authority in which she and her people alike trust. She propowss to live for duty, as she has done hitherto ; and it is certain that she and her people must be at one as to what her duty is, because it is constitutionally prescribed. Thus, she will have their sympathy, their hearty THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1861. obedience, and, when possible, their eager aid. Thus, however bereaved, however suddenly platted apart from the ordinary course and prospect of earthly happiness, she is not, and never can be desolate. She will ever be surrounded by support, aid, friendship --everything which loyalty and esteem together can afford to sustain and cheer. To her eldest son the chief lesson of the hour will be to marl• the natural operation of his parents' de votion to duty in the supreme trial of their parting. The great characteristic of their common life, and of the bond between them and the people, was their devotion to duty ; and now, that is precisely the ground of such hope as exists for his mother's solace and eventual repose, and of the heartfelt honours which are paid to his father. He cannot but see how all the millions of the people of Eng land would devote themselves iu any manner and degree to secure peace to the suffering heart of their QUERN. He cannot but feel, now that the attributes of ■ princely station are nothing to his departed father, it is a greater thing than all else to live so honoured and to die so lamented. And the way to such greatness in his crew was alle giance to law—to the constitution in the political department of his influence, and to the eternal law of right in his personal conduct. Obedience and loyalty, due from all men, are the most in dispensable requisites in the rulers of men. THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT. I Our Windsor correspondent, writing last even ' ing, says :—" Preparations are rapidly being made in the Chapel Royal of St. George for the approaching funeral of the late lamented Prince Consort ; the north, mouth, and centre aisles, have already been boarded over, and by to morrow will be ready to be covered with black cloth, the pavement in the choir has been covered with cocoa mat ting, previous to the cloth being laid over it, and the stalls of the Knights of the Garter will then be draped in black. The entrance of the royal vault has already been opened, and the machinery adjusted for lowering the coffin, which, as we have before stated, will be temporarily placed without the iron grating of the tomb-house, in the same m►nner as the late Duchess of Kent's remains were rested until removed to the mau soleum at Frogmore. It is the intention of her Majesty to erect a still more w.agnificeot tomb in the garden at Frog more, near to that of the royal duchess, to which when finished the remains of the Prince Consort will be removed. A covered building is also nearly com pleted at the south entrance to the chapel, wider which the hoarse will be drawn, sod where the corpse will be received by the Dean and Canons and officers of state. Cardinal Wohey's Chapel is also being fitted up, and a covered entrance to it by the Cloisters is being erected. The chapel will be appropriated exclusively to the members of the royal family, who, as the procession moves down the south aisle, will proceed along the north aisle, so as to join the procession as it proceeds up the nave into the chapel. "The Queen left Windsor under the strictest privacy, having proceeded through the Slopes to the South Western station, no person being on the platform but Lord Alfred Paget ; not even a royal servant was allowed to be in attendance. The Prince of Wales, and Princesses Alice and Helena, accompanied her Idajesty; the junior members of the royal family having left by a 10 o'clock train. The Prince of Wales returned to Frogmore this evening after accompanying his royal mother to Gosport, and see ing her on board the yacht. As her Majesty will be as secluded as possible whilst at Osborne, more than one-half of the usual number of royal servants will be sent to Buck ingham Palace. Immediately the Queen left Windsor the royal standard was lowered, and the union jack hoisted. half•maat high, as the Prince held the nominal office of governor or constable of the castle." Resolution, and addressee of condolence with her Majesty still continue to be passed by different bodies in London and the provinces, and in most of the chief provin cial towns bnaineu will be generally suspended on the day of the funeral, is a mark of the respect which ia felt by all classes for the memory of the deceased. At a meeting of the Farnham (Surrey) auxiliary to the British and Foreign Bible Society, at which the Bishop of Winchester presided, his lordship referred in feeling terms to the death of the Prince. After remarking that all who were personally acquainted with his Royal Highness must know that ever since his find appearance before the British public he had on all occasions acted in a Christian spirit, him lordship proceeded to say—" In looking over some papers which many yean ago I put away an oontiining a very Interesting record of the noble mind of the late Prince Consort, my eye alighted upon one which I put into my pocket, thinking that it might ic.teeeet you as it boa interested myself. It is a few sentences which his late Royal Highness uttered, and although not strictly connected with religious objects, it may not be unfitting at the present time to read them to you. ' Depend upon it,' said his Royal Highness, ' that the interest, of classes now separated are identical ; and it is only ignorance which prevents their union, to the advan tage of each other. To dispel this ignorance, and to show how man can meet man, notwithstanding the complicated st►te of civilises' society, ought to be the aim of every phi lanthropic person ; and this was more peculiarly the duty of those who, under heaven, enjoyed wealth, station, and distinction.'" (From the 1.4110 ti of to-day.) It was during Divine service on Sunday last that the majority at the people of this lead first heard the sad ialeafiesees cof the death at the Prince Consort. It cam* es a beery sad sadden blow ; for althoullb touch anxiety bed ban felt for some days previously by those who feared hie power of bearing up whist so depreesin a dimes., yet eves the lout sanguine had so anticipations of the slowly but surely deoreasiog debility—resisting all efforts to stay its advance—under which the Prince gradually sank, dying at last from pul monary engorgement. Thodissise was typhoid fever, not very SWIM in its early symptoms, but, from its very nature, taxing keenly the re militant vital power and energies of the sufferer—that reserve force of which the physician so carefully takes stock in every osae of fever; for be knows not bow soon it nmy be tried to the uttermost, or all his efforts be unavailing to keep the fortress of life. The insidious character of this disease is always opposed to any early and decisive diagnosis of its precise character. Moreover, its first symptom are common to various mild farm of febrile disorder. It should not, however, be omitted to note that typhoid fever, although less to be dreaded than typhus fever. inasmuch as it is not con sidered to be communicable from one member of a hosselold to another by contagion, is, nevertheless, in Teepees to mortality, equally formidable. The death-rates of those attacked by typhoid and typhus fester are sea* equal, both being fever of a very fatal chanter ter. II the diatom by which the Prism Consort fell was by no means of that ambignus and venally innocent cha racter which popular report hes assigned to it, no doubt from misinterpretation of the necessary official reticence of the early bulletins, so also it should be observed that the illness was of looter duration than at first appeared. The Prince Consort had been attacked at least a fort night before the fatal termination. On Sunday week be was unable to attend Divine service, a duly he ever held as of paramount importance in his well-balanoed mind. On the Monday following Dr. Jenner was summoned, end fromtbat time the Prince was tinder cmtinuous medical advice. It is perhaps commonly thought that, as a man of middle age, well nourished, sod of course highly cared for in all materiel wants, the Prince might have been lees than usually liable to fall • victim to low fever of this kind. But the opposite series of retakes may always be predicated In typhoid fever. Thin iv a disease which has invariably proved far more fatal to sufferers of the upper class and of middle period of life than to patients of the poorer kind. MO unhappy issue must therefore be regarded as • source of deep Lamentation rather then of surprise. There is nothing la the known course of the disease during the last week of the attack to take it out of the ordinary character of typhoid fever. The immediate muse of death is believed to have been congestion of the lungs, es above stated. This exemation was, of course, hypostatic or gravitative, and each vervain Lathe last stages of weakness of the circulation. On the other band, there was 'though of suddenness in the immediate termination of the dis ease to raise the question whether it might not have been due to attentive perforatioa of the bowel, a well-known complication of typhoid fever. But we are unaware of any feats which sufficieutly uphold this belief. The melancholy occurrence most (educe the profession to revert, to the former epidemic of typhoid fever which :aged severely in Windsor two years 'ince. That attack's& traced by Dr. Murehison very clearly and distinctly to bad drainage se lie cause. The qusetios bas been asked whether the Castle itself kas badly drained as the tows, and whether there be anything iu the tlraioag• of Wiadeor Casale which could be expected to favour the growth or dissemination the disease. It must be remembered that this is one of those zyntotie ailments essentially connected in their origin with local defects of sanitary arrangements. So close is the eon minima between bad drainage end typhoid fever, that Dr. Murchison has, with the assent of Dr. W. Pan, denomi nated it pythogenic fever, or fever generated by dirt. In the ewe of the epidemic of Windsor two years since, this was very observable. A plan of the drainage of the Castle sod town, given by Dr. Murchison in his valua ble description of the cense of the epidemic, shows, however, that the Royal residence is directly and I perfectly drained into the Manna It deserves. perhaps, to be mentioned also, that this good drainage is peculiar to the Castle. only one-half el the Royal Mews I participating is He benefits. Thew two bleak of buildings are separated merely by a roadway, end while that half which has the benefit of the Castle drainage remained free from fever, in the other ill-drained block there occurred thirty sees. at fever end three deaths among the royal servants. (From the Medical Times.) There were fluctuations Irvin time to time, and even within an hour of his death the Prince expressed himself as Arai enough to get out of bed ; nevertheleee, a terrible et elleeopetion of the lungs ensued, in which he expired, she my before eleven et night. _ . The Prince ' s constitution was one of those which was not annulated to bear the brunt of an enfeebling syntotic dis ease. Spite of an active athletic life and of careful diet Ihe displayed an early tendency to increase of bulk which is timely compatible with a healthy rigidity of fibre. He was early depressed by a common cold or any other alight sari. dental illness, had a feeble circulation, and firmly believed that any severe Sinew' would at any time be fatal to him. How and when be contra.sted his fatal Slams is matter of conjecture purely. All maladies of this class have a " period of incubation." The fatal symotio poison is imbibed, but it does not at once show it full effects. It broods for a certain number of days, like leaven, in the veins of the victim before there ensues that shivering fit, of greater or less intensity, which is the starting point of the actual fever. Some poisons, like the small-pox, have fixed periods of incubation ; others, as the scarlet fever, are m• certain, for there may be no interval whatever—the fever may begin immediately on the receipt of the poison. In the typhoid the period of incubation is probably about a week. and the source of the fatal poison must have been at some place which the Prince visited during the last week of November. Was it Cambridge ? Was it South Kensington ? It is vain to speculate. The causes of typhoid fever still abound even in places which ought to be the most exempt from them. Like poisons of their class, they evidently do not affect all alike, but only some persons who are predis posed, and noose who travels much can be sure that he may not meet with them. So soon as unfavourable symptoms manifested themselves, Sir James Clark and Dr. Jenner requested that the patient shouldliave the benefit of additional advice, and that their own responsibility should be divided. This proposition was very unwillingly entertained at first by the Personage most 'early interested, partly from her unbounded confidence in her advisers. and partly from fear of still further depressing the vital power of the Prince, and increasing his despondency by alarm at indications of increased danger. The repeated request of the physicians, however, was at length complied with ; and two physicians were specially selected by the royal family—Sir Henry Holland and Dr. Watson i the former distinguish: d by his knowledge of the minutiae of therapeutics and the pectoiarities of aristocratic life, the latter for having enjoyed some of the largest fi elds of experience, and for the reputation of possessing a most mature and sober judgment and unimpeachable conscien tiousness. The confidence which the royal family placid in their advisers is fully shared by the public and by the profession. They may be sure that the most refined and energetic resources of medicine and diet were employed to eave and sustain the patient's vital powers. After the fatal event, the Queen, with a calmness and dignity which never desert her, expressed her warmest thanks to Sir James Clark, as one of her oldest and best friends ; and more than one member of the royal family testified to Dr. Joiner their gratitude for the attention which he had lavished—unavailingly, alas f—on their de- Vrelative. We have these details from a patient, in office, who rewired them from a member of the royal family. ' day, a juryman, named Da Costa, begged to be excused from serving, on the ground that he was the chief of the claque (or hired band of applauders) at the Ambigu Comique Theatre. M. Oscar de Vallee, advocate-general, questioned this claim to exemption, and observed that M. Da Costa's duties only required his presence at the theatre in the evening. To this argument, however, the latter replied that he was obliged to attend rehearsals in order to know what passages were to be applauded, and the court ultimately held that the occupation of clapping hands at a theatre was essentially "manual" labour within the meaning of a law of 1853, regulating the composition of juries. M. Da Costa was therefore struck out of the panel. THE IVINDHAM LUNACY COMMISSION. FIFTH DAY. The tee/airy wale renamed this morning. Ilie Ant witness allied was Thomas Partridge, ;Medical man, residing in Edin burgh; he depued—l was residing in Loudon in;June last. I was intimate with Mr. Peatfield wheu he was lodging at Mra. Lewellyn's in Duke-street. I frequently saw Mr. Windham there. I bad frequent opportuuities of observ ing and conversing with bun. He had a very peculiar laugh, he shivered at the mouth, and on two MOMS= he threw up the window and shrieked out two or three times. He seemed to do this from a sudden imp lee, and without any apparent reason. The window did not open into the street, but to • side yard. It did not attract notice. This was while he was at lunch, and when he had shrieked out of the window he returned to table. I did did not speak to him about it. I conversed with him on ordinary subjects, and found he conversed coherently. I did not observe anything remarkable in his conversation. , 1 In eating be heat his head very much over the table, and occsaiondly would make a peculiar noise. He helped him self to very Liege quantities. On one occasion to drove me out. He drove in a very impetuous and reckless way. We drove to the Crystal Palace at Sydeoham. We visited the palace together. He stood in a conspicuous part of the Palace and spoke to a policemen in • manner which seemed to attract attention. He had told his groom to meet him at the Palace doors at • certain hour, but the groom failed, and Mr. Windham in oonsequeuce flew in • violent • swore very violeutly, using strong oaths, and famed at the mouth. I returned with him to town in the phaeton. He drove in the same rapid restless way on the rued back. From what I saw of his genets! behaviour I thought his mental condition was one of imbecility. Cram-examined by dir H. Cairns—l think that is • con dition of imbecility in which there is a great peculiarity in the laugh, the dying into • passion without apparent came, • sloveuly habit of dram, a desire to attract attention, and vacancy in the ex pressi on of features. I was never, but on the occasion of our going to flydenham,ao loos in his com pany. The proof of his desire to attract attentionl infer from the conspicuous position in which he stood at the Crystal Palace when speaking to the policeman. It was in the centre transept, where there were the greatest number of people, and he stood with his hand, behind his hack and with his head stooping. The groom did not come until I went to the stables where tho horses had been put up to fetch him. The horses were not put to when I fouled the groom. I should say it was half an hour from the time I went to look for the groom, before we got back with the phaeton to the Palace. Ido not know that Mr. Windham had an engagement in town that afternoon. I don't remember the words he used when he swore at the groom. Going back we two or three times needy came into collision with carriages on the road, but we did not. I was never in a mail phaeton before. I am not in the habit of driving myself. When I went to Mr. Windham's lodgings in Duke-street, it wag rat luncheon. I went on the invitation of Mr. ae lhe treil y d, riot of Mr. Windham. I did not ask Mr. Wind ham, when he called out of the window, whether he was calling to any one . I do not know tha t kitchen was in the direction in which he was calling. I should think I lunched there ten at • doses times. We had wine at lunch, generally champagoe and ebony. Mr. Lewellyn, the landlord, was there, and sometimes canie in and joined us—that is, he would take a glass or two of wine by invitation. I had occasionally some °epee.- eati•an. Mr. Lewellyn generally waited at the table, and be would be asked to take a glass of champagne. He very seldom eat down. I have heard that Mr. Lewellyn is a wine merchant. I came up to town from Edinburgh in on. sequence of being written to by Mr. Peatfield to Wend and give evidence. By . Mr. Chambers—He divined me by his reckless mode of driving. When he screeched oat of the window be did not appear to re, to be calling to the servant. When he was stauding talking to the policeman at the Crystal Palace he did so far attract attention as to cause the people who were passing to tern round. By the Jury —I do not remember whether Mr. Windham ever started • subject of conversation when I was with him. It was at the mid of June or the beginniug of Jaly that we went together to the Crystal Palace. Mrs. Jessie Campbell Enclend, examined by Mr. Field— Mr Peatfield and Mr. Windham came to lodge in my house in June, 1660. When he came iii be. in • strange manner kicked about, jumped and danced about like some fool or other, and I thought he was not right in his mind. He opened: his portmanteau andtook out everything he bad, sad We, it and kicked it about the bedroom. That was the Ent day be came in. I waited upon bins myself became of what I had seen him do, and observed his strange conduct at his meals. On the moruing after he came is at breakfast he was foaming about the mouth, and going ces so thee I really was frightened of him. Mr. Peatfield asked him what he would have for dinner ; he said he could not tell, and began laughing and jumping about the room. His laugh was not like that of any human being. After dinner he was not quite so bed. He was in my house a fortnight, and he continued all the time to behave in the same strange manner. He would open the windows and throw himself forward, and almost threw himself out. He would make a great noise, hallooiog and laughing, so as W attract the attention of the people teasing, who would sometimes come in to me about it. He made noises at night like • at, and sometimes other swifts, disturbing everybody, tall I was obliged to turn them off ; I could not keep them for it. My opinion was, the moment he came into the house, that be was not right is his mind. Crosauxaroioed by Mr. Kerslake—Mr. Peatfield took the lodgings. Mr. Windham did not come with Mr. Peatfield to take them. Mr. Peatfield remained at the lodgings all the time and took his meals with Mr. Windham. I some times might have laughed at him, but I was generally frightened. I told Mr. Peatfield that I objected to the house being kept np so late. I have known them both stay up making a noise till 3 o'clock. Mr. Windham CAMP nut of has bedroom at times into the other room, after everybody had gone to bed, and made • notes like a cat, or bowled Like a dog. They were sometimes visited by an officer of the army. I was summoned here on dater day lad. 13y Mr. Chambers—lt was Mr. Windham who made the noise, not Mr. Peatfield. Mr. Padfield tried all he could to keep Mr. Windham quiet. I never saw • young man in my life like Mr. Windburn. By theJury—Mr. Pastasll and Mr. Windham appeared to be always on very good terms. Mts. Augusta Lewellyn. emunined by Mr. Chambers—l and my husband live at 35, Dultestniet. St. James's. My husband isa wine importer and agent. Mr. Windham corns to lodge with me in May, 186 L He was recommended to to me by a person of the name of Skelton, who lives op. polite me. General Wiodham had nothing to do with taking the lodgings. I bad General Windham at that time, nor did I see him for ea weeks after that. Except at cer tain intervals. Mr. Windham remained with roe up to the 24th Angled. I bad full opportunities of noticing his manners, conduct., and habits. I funned the opinion from what I saw that he was not in his right mild. He had a bedroom and sitting-room at my house. When he first came be was alone. Afterwards Ins tutor, Mr. Peatfield, had another bedroom. Hs was on. cleanly. He did not wash himself. My husband mad to put bfm into his bath in the morning. We have a bath room on the ground floor. He very seldom washed after he bad had his bath, and his bands were frequently very dirty. At times when he was in the lath I have known him get out of it. He has on two on three ocosaions *piped out of his bath, and ran without his clothes on as far as the dining-room door, which is thee to the street door. While running from his bath to the dining.room door he used to make noises like eat-calling. Chem were three female remote is the house, but at the time be so left his bath they would be mostly up in the bedrooms. My husband gene rally had to Winn him back sod get him auto the bath again. At the latter end of June I spoke to him about doing this. I was at dinner at the time. It woe our dinner and his luncheon. I told him that I would not allow such conduct in the house, and I would tell Mr. Loyally° to send him out of the house. I also told him that when the General came I would tell him of his conduct. He used very bad language to me when I said so, and took spa very Lir carving knife, and said he would immediately np me up. There was nobody else present, but Mr. Lewellyn mashes by. What he mid was, that he would rip lip my b—y gate if I dared to dictate to him. I left the drawing reran as soon as I could.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. ENGLAND AND AMERICA. The Paris Patric receives from London the fol lowing information, which it state; to be " new" : "If the answer to the English nate should not be favourable, Lord Lyons will leave Washington in three days and will transmit the orders of his government to Admiral Milne, who will in that case immediately leave Jamaica with his squadron to take up • position at Norfolk, a Virginian port on the confines of Carolina, which will be the basis of the English naval operations. France, we are assured, will maintain an attitude of armed neutrality. Admiral Milne will leave at Havannah a division of frigates, destined to take part in the operations against Mexico. Seven ships of war, recently armed, have already started one after the other for the Antilles, and it is thought that all the vessels ordered to reinforce Admiral Milne will be at Jamaica from the 25th to the 30th of December. In case the Washington cabinet should surrender the prisoners taken from the Trent, that affair will, of course, be settled ; but • new question will then be raised by Lord Lyons, viz., whether the bloekade of the Southern ports is effective, and negotiations upon this point will be actively carried on. These negotiations will be of a very different character from the first, for they will bear upon a question affecting the commercial interests of all the powers." The Pattie also says : "On the 7th inst. the following vessels of the French navy were at anchor in the New York roadstead :—The steam frigates Bellune and Po mona, the steam corvettes Catinat and Gassendi, and the steam aviso SurcouL Other French vessels of war will shortly be sent there." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (snot[ out owx PARIS, THUBRDAY Emma. The Temps observes that the paragraph in the Moniteur's bulletin, denying that there is any truth in the rumours of ministerial modifications, "cir culated by foreign journals," will probably not put a stop to such rumours, for the reason that the " bulletin" in no way binds the French govern ment, and is composed by anonymous writers moved by "caprices which are often contradictory." The Temps might have added that the Monitettr only three or four days ►go repudiated the respon sibility of opinions to be collected from its bulletin, which, it said, was merely a resume of the news of the day. In the present instance, the rumours which the Moniteur would fasten exclusively upon foreign journals were given as original news in a correspondence lithographed in Paris and sent to all the provincial journals. It is quite upon the cards that the very minister or ministers whom it is intended to turn out should have the power for the moment of getting paragraphs inserted in the Moniteur. The Bourse has been heavy. Bente rose 10c. for cash, but fell 20c. for account, closing at 671 r. 20c. in each case. Mobilier fell 8f r. 75c., and the Italian loan 50c. The Orleans Railway fell Mr. ; Bouthezu, Mr. 75e. ; and the other lines from lfr. 25e. to 2fr. 50c. M. Pone&lee, the Prussian Minister, whose sudden death the telegraph will have reported to you, was only 34 years old. He dropped down iu au apoplectic fit, on the staircase of his embassy, at 5 yesterday evening, and died in a few minutes. A London letter, addressed to the Moniteur, lays : The rapidity with which the Prince Consort was carried off has occasioned much surprise. You should know, however, that for the last two years he suffered from an orpaic disease which bud undermined his mastitution. The air of Windsor is moreover supposed to have exercised a deleterious influence upon him. The Castle, on the top of the slope, is no doubt healthy; but the town often suffers from fevers not unlike that which attacked the prince. . _ M. Mires' appeal to the Court of Cessation came on to-dey. Pursuant to the forma used in that court, the proceedings commenced by the readinx by one of the judges (M. Councillor Plougoulm) of a report on the matter. Down to the time to which the note before me goes, the judge-reporter bad not pronounced in M. Mirka' favour on any one point. The case at this stage excites but little interest in the public mind. Some people, not knowing that prisoners are never pre sent in the Court of Causation, went thither think ing to see Mirs, and were disappointed accord ingly. Count Simeon also appeals, on the ground (amongst others) that, as a senator, he ought to have been tried by the High Court of Justice. The arguments will probably run far into next week. lieutenant Maury, so well known for his re searches concerning the laws of storms, and who is a native of Louisiana, has declined to accept au in vitation of the Grand Duke Constantine to take up his residence in Russia until the war between the Southern States and the North shall have been brought to a close. At the Central Criminal Court of Paris, theother LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF ARCHES. (Brion Dr. lAuldogton.) "ESSAYS AND REVIEWS." orricz OF JUDOS FROMM= BY BIBHOP OP BALLSBURY V. W D. Dr. Deane resumed his ar lLLlAM!, gument D. this morning with the indictment upon the Bth article, which was to the e ff ect that the defendant had advisedly maintained and affirmed that in the books of the Old Testament, with the exception of one or two doubtful passages, there was no evidence of its being inspired, and no evidence of the prognostication of future persons and events. To meet this accusation he quoted Bishop Louth's "Preliminary Dissertatiou ' " with the view of bringing Dr. William s ' w ithi n th e ca refe rred to in " Heath v. Bunny," that. • men might not be punished to-day for opi nionathathad pared unnoticed andAnchal lamed by persons in authority in formerages, and also to show that crithasin of the text was an open question, that tbe interpretation of the text of it could be settled was an open question, and that the very text itself as we received it, and still more as the Hebrew original now was, sum but a translation of other and older documents, and in many respects a faulty trans latiae. They were in fact dealing with the translation of • translation, and the object of the prosecution yea to fetter the true meaning of the original book, and the darkest ages of Popish tyranny could not have attempted to impose on the human understanding heavier fetters than this. To the same book he referred to the distinction between what was in the church genuine, authentic, and canonical. Genuine was there defined to be that which was written by the person whose name it bore " authentic, having authority ;" and • writing might be genuine though nct authentic, or authentic though the word genuine could not be applied to it. Apocryphal seemed to he opposed to authentic—a writing, in fact, which was disallowed—and canonical was need in divinity to mean part of the canons or collection of writings of divine authority. With regard to the interpretation of the word " inspired," Dr. Hay said some men had held that every word of Scripture was inspired, and therefore the sacred writers were mere instruments. This Warburton called " inspiratiou," and , •pustule's machines" were the wee used by Dr. Williams, and objected to as heretical. He should like to know how it could be heretical to speak of passionless machines, and not heretical to speak of or ganic inspiration. The passage quoted in the Bth article charged was asserted to be contrary to the 6th Article, which was " Of the sufficiency of holy scriptures for salva tion." Now every article used in religion was not affirms tive, but negative. This article was directed against a well known existing error, but was not directed against all questions which might hereafter arise in the church, and it was directed, as every commentator bad agreed, against traditions introduced by the church of Rome. The 7th Article was " Upon the Old Testament;" and he could not find one single word in the passages extrected from Dr. Williams's essay which could be regarded as in any way opposed to that article. Warburton hail written that the doctrine of future rewards and punishments was not at first known amongst the Jews. and in that article the Seventeenth Article was not contravened, because the question raised was one which had not in that sense been considered by those who drew up or the crown which ratified the articles. The Judge—Did I understand you distinctly to say that Dr. Williams has never denied the two senses of prophecies 1 Dr. Deane aid Dr. Williams had never denied the sense of prophecy In its fulfilment—that was in its samedary sense. And upon this point of the inspiration of prophecy he referred to the passage in St. Luke's, Gospel, that it behoved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, there being no prophecy in the Oki Testament in which the rising on the fourth day was foretold. He did not throw the slighteet doubt on the 24ta chapter of St. Luke, but this only showed the danger of taking • pamage which the church * had appointed to be read on a particular day, and holding that every word of that peonage was to be judged in its literal sane, without any examination whether it had been so written or not. In the same way there us no prophecy known distinctly announcing that Christ should be called &Nazarene, and the Hebrew word which had been translated "Nazarene," might be, u had been affirmed, translated with the same accuracy a branch or flower. The Judge hoped it would not be for •moment understood that be was going to try theft mime questions of divinity. Of course it was quite open to Dr Deane to show that such and such opinions had been entertained, without reproof, in the church by eminent divines ; and it the learned counsel showed that his client had only entertained the same opinions it would bring him into the position in the cue of " Border v. Heath." Dr. Deane seas certainly not going to ask the court to pass judgment on any one of them, but he desired to show that the opinions condemned in the case of Dr. Williams had been held even with approbation by others before him. The 9th article charged Dr. Williams in the first place with "distinguishing the man David from the Book of David," and in bringing the fetter as low as the reign of the Epiphanes the author only fel ' lowed the admitted necessities of the ease. But the whole quoted gave the explanation of the opinion, not of passage quoted but of Baron Bunsen, and it was Baron Sancta who distinguished the m.in David from the book. The date of the book, however, proved the position asserted, and surely a clergyman whose knowledge led him to that °occlusion was not to be placed in the position that be mast oontrailict his knowledge to be convicted of the rit ignorance before his congregation, Williams,r must render mt:il i f liable to a charge of heresy. Dr. W again, had never mid that Jonah was not an historical person ; and not only had he not said so, but had distinctly stated the contrary in his sermons. Another charge was that he bad said that the Book of Jonah, incorporated is the Old Testa ment, weenerer written by him. He (Dr. Deane) could produce a flood of authorities that in another instance the book was not written by the person whose name it took. The Poeta. touch could not have been entirely written by Moms, for it contained an account of his death, and was the person to be regarded as a heretic who disputed that Moses was the writer of the whole ? Nobody would couteed that the Book of Ruth was written by Ruth, and he would ask who wrote the Book of Job? But Dr. Williams had never said that the Book of Jonah was not written by Jonah. Taking the 10th article, the indictment was misunderstood, miscited, and mischarged, and the opinion expressed was one that there was no an thority whatever for. Dr. Williams had never said that the authority of Scripture was not binding upon the church, nor had he Said that the Epistle to the Hebrews was not part of the Holy Scriptures, and as such binding on the 1 church. Whet he had said was, that Baron Bun• sea thought the Epistle was not written by St. Paul, and in his (Dr. Williams') own judgment, it bore traces of being poet academic. Dr, Arnold was ad mitted to Holy Orders after admitting t list the authenticite of the Epistle to the Hebrews was en open question, ail surely Dr. Williams was not a heretic by the opinion he bol expressed upon that Epistle or upon tha Second Epistle J. Peter. Again, with regard to the Revolutions of St. John, If every clergyman who gave en opioion as to the interpretation of the Revelations were prosecuted as a heretic, the Judge of the Court of Arches would be of all judges the mast sitting and the most patient. The com• plated of the Ilth article was on acc o unt o f th e opi n ion that " the deluge takes the place among geological phenomena, no longer a disturbance of law from which science Arias but a prolonged play of the foram of tire and water, reader• Sag the primmval region of North Asia uninhabitable, sod urging the natives to new abodes," but on reference 13 the book itself it would be seen that these opi• Mons were again the opinions of the author, and not d the reviewer, and the same was the fact with regent to the descriptions quoted of the flight of the children of lead from Egypt, and the passage of the Red Sea. But he ha sever heard that the present Dean of St. Paul's had eser been accused of being a heretic because upon this very pie titular .1 the flight from Egypt he hell espremi an opinion similar to that of Baron Bunsen; and a miracle might surely not be lees a mi• cede because the Almighty willed to firing tt about by human means. But he would put to the court these question,. Were the statements of the Bible alto gethei so blasphemous, that merely to cite them, abridge them, or review them was a crime that that court woull punish, and were comments made by such a person al Biros Bunsen riot to be noticed or reviewed by a clergyman the Church of England? For whom was this re view written? If it had been written 100 yell ago it would have been written iu Latin. bat we have left a now the habit of bringing these difficult questions forward in what Gibbon described as the decades of the dead language. Was it, then, at w time when slid theorises as these were started by Baron Bungee, the greatest scholar, perhaps, of his day, that a cleraman, for a boot written for the study of learned persons upon those theories should be punished as a heretic? Was the description d the deluge itself so clear that no second interpretation coai l be given to it? Where were "the windows of heaves i.-.$ " opened r Were "the fountains of the great deep' by; rally "broken up ?" This was the language of retry.
