THE PROSECUTION OF MR. BENNETT FOB BERESE The prosecution of the Rev. Mr. Bennett, the vicar of Frome, reached another stage on Saturday. The Lord Chan cellor, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, the Right Hon. J. C. Napier, and the Eight Hon. Sir W. Erie heard, as Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the case of " S her pard v. P hillimore and Bennett (clerk)." It will be remembered that Dlr. Bennett was charged with heresy—the alleged heresy being a belief in the real pre sence in the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. The Bishop of London was compelled, by order of tho Court of Queen's Bench, t..) issue letters of request to the Dean of Arches, ask ing him to try the charge, but when the said letters were brought before him, Sir Robert Phillimore refused to accept them, on the ground that there was no reason given why he should do so. They were, ho said, letters, not of command, but request. Against this refusal the plaintiff, Mr. Shep pard, of Frome, appea'el, and the case was thus brought be fore the Privy Council. Mr. Stephens, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff Oppellaut), and urged that Sir Robert Phillimore over-stepped his jut is diction in refusing the letters. Ifo pointed out that the old Acts before 1810 left the Dean of Arches no clinic . Did the Church Discipline Act leave him roam for refusing to fellow a bishoP's request? Mr. Stephen urged n t. lla liewed that the questions Lad cover beta raised before, and that noju.tge bad ever attempted to use discretionary power. Mr. Bennett refused to be represented by counsel. But the Dean of Arches had himself been cited to appear, and was represented by Mr. Phillimore. Mr. Phillimore did not fcr one moment argue that the Dean had absolute power to refuse well-founded letters of request; but as the words of the judgment would show that what his lordship claimed was a 'power to refuse them under certain circumstances. In giving his decision, Sir Robert said— "that ho refused to receive these letters unless they could afford good reason why he should accept them," and be con tended that the Dean of Arches could use a discretionary power in refusing to accept the letters unless good reason was shown in them for hint to accept them. The Lord Chancellor said that, suppose the bishop refused letters to issue, and the judge refused, on the ground that ho had no letters of request from the bishop, and the former was cited by mandamus, ho would say, on the 7th section, "I have sent it to tho Arches." That would bo a good answer to the mandamus. And suppose the judge argued in the same way, what would become of the suit? It must drop. Mr. Phillimore said the bishop would then still ba liable to an arpeal to the archbishop. At the conclusion of Mr. Phillimore's speech the Lord Chancellor said that their lordships would teko into consi deration whether they should hear Mr. Stephens in reply, • and would appoint a day to give their decision. LAW AND _POLICE. A PRIVILEGED CommuNic.iTioN.—An action for libel has been brought by a bankrupt, named Chnrdi t against his -assignee, for posting a placard and, inserting an advertisement containing defamatory statementJ. The action was tried in the Second Court of • Queen's Bench. The plaintiff had been selling goods on commission after his bankruptcy, and the advertisement complained of which appeared in the London daily papers offered .£:5O reward for imforma tion on the subject, as the bankrupt was lelieved to be selling part of his stock - in-trade. The plaintiff was, in consequence of the libel, several times arrested and was obliged to give up his employment. Mr. Justice Hannen, however, nonsuited him on the ground • that the communication, being by order of the Court of Bankruptcy, was privileged. A SINGULAR CLTARGE.—In the Court of Queen's Bencl], on Saturday, an action for an alleged libel, published i:; the Cornhill Magazine, was brought by George Henry de Strabolgie. Neville Plantagenet Harrison. The article complained of was entitled " Don Ricardo," and was of a light and lively character. It described General Harri son, whose eccentricities bad attracted some attention iu not very complimentary terms, quoting rr injurious statement that bad been made about him. The plaintiff, whose list of names and titles excited some amusement in the court, explained that he had acquireg_i the rank of general in the wars of South America, and that he believed himself to be descended from the Earl of WestmOreland and the Plantagenets, which bad induced hiin to assume some of the names. The jury gave Lim a verdict for 17;0. AG UARANTEE. —ln the Second Court of Common Pleas, on Saturday, the case of " Laurie, P. 0. - v.- Schofield" was beard. An action had been tried before Mr. Justice Mellor on a guarantee, when the plaintiff bad a verdict for £1,0:7,7. It was now sought to reduce the damages by k. 500, that sum having been previously paid by one of the - guarantors, though it had not been pleaded at the time of the trial. The court btld that the £5OO having been paid, that sum must be taken to have been pleaded in bar to so much of the claim but on the terms of the dt-fendant paying the costs. ACTION AGAINST 'MADAME RACHEL'S DAuuirrEn.—At action was brought at the Marylehone County Courti , y Mr. Wilding, a solicitor, against Uiss Leverson, daughter of Madame Rachel, to recover a sum for profes sional services. A letter was read to shew that the defendant and her solicitor were at the Bail Court and wished the case to be adjourned, Lot Sir J. 'Wilmot said he could not act on the letter, and the case must proceed. After hearing the evidence, his Honour gave judgment for the plaintiff, the amount to be paid Within fourteen days.

To wear ing your colours one week and attending at the poll at and voting for you . . . £10." A MUNIFICENT OFFER. —Mr. E. Mackenzie having read in the papers that the governors of St George's Hospital had been obliged to sell £15,000 of the invested capital of the company to meet the deficit in the finances of the institution, has sent to the secretary a cheque for 1,000 shillings, and states that if the £45,000 are raised by the 15th of July next, he will then make the 1,000 shillings into as many guineas —that is, he will send a cheque for £1,003 more. STRANGE SUICIDE IN A. PRISON.— A strange suicide has just been committed at the Fort of Bicetre by a clerk named ;"aria, aged 45, one of the persons arrested on the Boulevards during the late disorders. Since his detention he bad been labouring under great excitement, and had at length become so violent that it bad been found necessary to confine him in a cell with his hands bound. He was found on Thursday morning lying dead, on the ground ; he had succeeded in freeing his bands from the cord, with which he had made a running knot, and had then strangled himself. He was a married mar and father of a family. CONSECRATION OF FOUR NEW BISIIOT,S. —Four new bishops are to be consecrated, and Tuesday, the 20th inst., being the festival of St. Peter, will probably be fixed for the ceremony in Westminster Abbey. The new pre lates are the Rev. Arthur Bender, M.A., rector of Pluckley, Kent, who has been elected Bishop of Montreal and Metropolitan of Canada ; the Rev. W. C. Cowie, D.D., rector of St. Mary's, Stafford, who has been elected BishoT of Auckland in succession to Dr. Selwyn (who held the general title of New Zealand, there being no other bishop in the islands at the time of his consecration) ; the Rev. S. B. Marsden, M.A., vicar of Bengworth, near Eves ham, who has been nominated to the new Australian bishopric of Bathurst; and the Rev. Walter Chambers, missionary to Borneo, who has been appointed to the Bishopric of Labuan, vacant by the resignation of the Right Rev. Dr. M`Dougall. Tun REPORTED MURDERS IN ABYSSINIA.-- Additional information has been received respecting the reported murder of Mr. Thomas Powell and his party, in Abyssinia, which seems to give some slight gliinmering of hope that it may be possible that the first intelligence re ceived was not in every respect truawortby. tt will be re. membered that in the two accounts respectingthe murders, one from Kerim Bagos, Abyssinia, and the other from the French Vice-Consul at Massowah, mention is distinctly made of Mr. Powell's servant having been killed. This ser vant was generally supposed to be I>onald, a Scotch game keepr-r, whom Mr. Powell bad taken with bite. The intelligence just to hand al pears to contradict this, a telegram having I rev received by . 2t: r. Walter Po veil, thrtaigli the Foreign Olen', to the follow ing* :--" Dunald, Mr. Powell's gamekeeper, is reported to have escaped, and to be at Massowalz. So possibly other parts of the first story may have been exaggerated." It is impossible to judge from this whether there is any probability of Mr. and Mrs. Powell being alive, but the intelligence at least throws discredit on the first information. The locality where-the rePorted murders took place is believed to be about 150 miles from. Massowah, consequently it will not be so difficult as.was first anticipated to obtain a reliable account as to the fate of the party. His Highness the Viceroy of Egypt has directed that every possible assistance slionid be ren kfered. to Mr. Henry Po,veit and Mr. Jenkins, Who , ..;.. e cope out to Alexandria anti Cairo, in order to • ascertain whether there is any trope, of their relativesbeing alive. --SU.N, LONDON, • MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 21, 1E69: A CITY WINE WAREHOUSE. Amongst the many extensive ranges of buildings the great and increasing trade of the City of London has caused to be erected, none certainly can exce' d, and very few surpass, those built in Lime-street for M-ses. IL It. Williams and Co., the wine importers. A great portion of the site was originally occupied by the old East India House, but now, instead of the space being devoted to records and official docu ments, it is appropriated to the storing and maturing of wine for borne consumption. The great pile of building has with the cellars eight floors, on each of which the special_ offices for the transaction of the i business of - the department are attached. Steam machinery has been erected for the purpose of assisting the numerous " hands" employed by the firm, end, in fact, everything that science and skill could suggest has been taken advantage of in order that the building might be perfect in every particular. Un descending to the cellars the visitor is at once surprise 1 with the extent, the cleanlineas, and perfect ventilation of the long subterranean avenues, on either side of which hundreds of thou sands of bottles are to be seen, all binned with mathematical accuraoy. Wines of all kinds and of all vintages are here in store, and in one particular out c,f the way spot is kept the curious and rare wines from the stores of Prince Metternich, the Grand Duke of Nassan,and other celebrated connoisseurs, with as much care and safety as though they were the crown jewels. Having made a tour of the cellars, the visitor then steps on " the lift," and ascends, first to the street level, and here sees the admirable arrangements for the despatching and receiving wine without the inconvenience of block ing the roadway. The next floor contains, at the very smallest computation, over3oo butts of sherry, in addition to which there are three or four enor mous vats capable of holding upwards of 6,000 gal lons for the purposes of "fining," thus rendering the quality and flavour of the entire quantity alike throughout, which could not be sup posing each cask was treated separately. Then the visitor is carried to the port floor, where the same extensive range of casks with pumps worked by steam machinery meets the view. From there he ascend; to the spirit floors, where, in addition to the liquids in casks, he sees innumerable ranges of attractively-Lbelled bottles all ready for the London market. From thence be rises to the packing floor, where all is order and regularity ; and finally he arrives at the summit of the building. where numerous matters are carried on, the most curious burg the bottle washing by machinery, and so rapid is the operation that not less than from 16 to 20 gross a day are properly washed by one ma chine only. Some notion of the quantity of bottles required annuallyby the firm may be imagined when the cost of its corks &one, for th period, amounts to no less than £l,BOO. This great firm bas been called into exis , ence by the alterations male in the wine duties by Mr. Gladstone, and the enormous popular trade carried on is a proof of the quality of the articles supplied. To those curious in such matters a visit, to the premises will be highly inte re,ting, where they will meet with a polite recep tion, and no fear of unpleasant results need lie en tertained, for a lady may walk through the entire building without the slightest harm being incurred to the most delic ite dress, or being overpowered by the fumes ustrally prevalent in otdinary wine ware houses.

We learn by cable that the Washington Govern ment hare determined on vigorous war against the Indians, and General SIII4.:RIDAN has gone West to take the command. Additional troops arc to protect the Pacific Railway, and General SCHOFIELD is to raise volunteers for the defence of Kansas. This cannot be called a new war, considering that it has been in active progress for two years, and in apas sive state since the opening of the Smoky Hill route. Last summer the Indians committed great atrocities in the valleys of the Solomon and the Republican Rivers, and no sooner has the season opened which enables their cattle to find food on the plains and thus to move freely, than these mas sacres have been repeated. The system the Indians pursue is to divide into small parties, to appear suddenly at an outlying settlement; when he lonely fatnily or small group of families are con fronted, unprepared, with these savages. They demand what the house has to supply in food, treat the intrates rudely, eventually pick a quarrel, and proceed - to perpetrate atrocious barbarities on the persons of their unwilling hosts. By this system they enter the stronghold, they disarm their vic tims, they enjoy the agony of their suspense as a cat does the terror in the mouse with which it plays, while the satisfaction remains that a delight ful massacre is in store. Those who meet their foes as open . enemies with barricaded doors and rifle in hand generally escape, for the wary In dian has no no:ion of fairly pitting his life against that of the settler, and unless the opportunity is tempting the threatening bands disappear. The Sioux and Cheyennes, probably the lodges to whom CIISTAI: made the winter so unpleasant, have in vaded the settlements in which during last summer they left so disastrous a trace. On the 2Gth May a Scandinavian colony, south-west of Lake Sibley, Kansas, was attacked, and at least five persons were killed. The operations of the savages ex tended from the Solomon and Republican Rivers to the end of the Kansas Pacific Railroad ; and 20 more settlers were murdered, while several women and children were carried off. At Topeka Saline County fourteen men, women, and children ware massacred, and the inhabitants fled in a pule to more settled Eastern districts. Nor is it surpris ing when this is the way the poor people were treated : " The tongues and hearts were cut out of their d-tad bodies; the calves of their lags were slit down and tied under their shoes; pieces of flesh were cut from their back; pieces of telegraph wire were stunk into the bodies ; the ears cut off and heads scalped. • The Indians boiled the hearts of their victims for medicine. The Swedish settlers who were attacked all lived•in one house. Only those were killed who left the house and attempted to reach a place of greater security. Those who remained in the house were not molested. 1 his occurred in two in stances. The calamity is mainly attributable to the lack of arms. Whenever a gun was fired the savages made no fight." At Fossil Creek Station, on • the Pacific Railroad, the Indians tied a sleeper on the track with the tele graph wire. which threw a loco votive and two cars froth the rails, and furnished the opportunity of killing two men and wounding fonr. • Se - veral of-the. railway stations have been attrcked,_ and where the savages succeed in disposing -of the guard they tear up the track. In consequence of these atrocities the movement of the troops under General SCHOFIELD is active all along the country in the neighbourhood of these outlying settlements. Scouting parties traverse the land in whatever directions their limited number will allow. Gene ral CCSTAII has started from Fort Hayes, Colonel lIamILToN from Fort Riloy, Colonel MERRILL from Fort Harker; Colonel WEIR, with a troop of cavalry, is passing up the - . Sali le River ; and Go vernor HARNEY has organized two companies of scouts, who have been armed by General Scuo- FIELD. . The Governor has telegraphed to the PRRSIDENT to request that orders may be sent for the despatch of troops to the Southern part of Kansas, as he anticipates an insurrection of the settlers upon the Cherokee neutral land, but this is an affair, among the whites, arising from a dispute about land. The intelligenee is clear that strenuous measures will be taken by the Govern ment to punish the • Cheyennes and the Sioux. Senator Ross had an interv:ew-on the sahject with GRANT, who as-ured hiin of -his stern determirratioi to suppre a future depredations ; and Gen. SHERI DAN has been ordered to-treat as enemies all Indians. found outside their reservations, while the strength of the troopS is to be considerably arigMented The latest news is that the savages captured a Govern ment waggon train in Arizona, burnt it, and. Lilted three soldiers and woundol three. The manner of . dealing with the Indians is a subjectattracting much .attention at Washington. In proportion to the in dignation excited in - some by the ferocious acts of the savages are the earnest efforts of others to save an ignorant, barbar:ie.d race from a threatening annihilation. There are many philanthropic Ame ricans who cannot divest themselves of the idea that -the Republic has not done its whole duty in at tempting •to reclaim and save from extinction the original possessors of the Continent. The settle ments of some tribes, now among the most peaceful of inhabitants, have proved that there are Indians who can be civilized, although it must be allowed these were always of a far higher order than such nomade Indians of the Plains as the Cheyennes and Arapahoes. It is asserted that 14,000 of the Da cotah nation, located- on three reservations on the west bank of the Upper Missouri, have been re strained from depredation and preserved in a pas sive and peaceful state through the honest efforts and the personal influence acquired thereby of Gen. \V. G. Haßsay. Twenty. years ago be conducted against them a successful campaign, and they de scribe him as the man who fought Indians,but never . told them a lie. What the Government allows is distributed amongst them to the last cent, and in consequence of his uprightness, the In dians have faith in his wisdom, his intentions, and his word. A writer in the Tribune proposes that the policy be adopted of gathering, the Indians into at most three reservations, over which the Government could really exercise efficient control and protect the inhabitants against swindling agents. He would make Isle Royale,. in. Lake Superior, the northern one, where he would -plant 30,000 Sioux and 20,000 Chippewas and other In dian bands of the North-West. There are, perhaps, 15,000 Chippewas, who have 14 reservations in Wis consin and Minnesota, many so remote that they cannot be visited by the Commissioners. In con sequence the Indians suffer from the cupidity of the agents, and rapidly disappear. For instance, the Stockbridge Indians in Wisconsin once numbered 10,000 warriors. They immigrated from Massa chusetts to New . York in 1789, to Ohio in 1809, and to Wisconsin in 1821, many of them having resided in Stockbridge until a few years ago. The remnant of the tribe, numbering about 300 men, women, and children, reside at Shawano, and are now suf fering for fool. The writer above alluded to ex presses the hope that the whole Indian population between the Missouri River and Rocky Mountains, not exceeding in all 150,000, may soon be gathered into the • Indian Territory, where the Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, and others form a civilised In dian community, entitled to lead in the experiment of , . creating a n I n di an R epu bli c i n t h e A mer i can Linen. I: is but fair to the savages, whose fright ful whites, deeds with i w t h whom e have h t e l ey n recording, come i contact,n to state a r that f often mere vicious and savage than they. Indeed it has been conjectured that among the Cheyennes and Arapaho. s who perpetrated the late atrocities were white men and half breeds. The PRESIDENT is as anxiols to ext.mrl clemency and to pr; serve these people from the effects of their own barbarism as he is determined to put a stop to their depredations. The Commission of Friends be selected to look after their interests is sufficient proof of what we assert. Friend SAMUEL M. ;TONES, the new Quaker Super intendent of Indian Affairs, together with five Quaker Indian agents for the Omahas, Ottoes, Nempas, Pawnees, and ,Sautees, arrived at Ornahi, May 28, and proceeded to their various stations at ce, where, it is to be hoped, they may be of service iu protecting settlers, and, we may add, the Indians as well, and carrying out the policy shadowed forth by the writer in the Tribune of gathering the tribes into one reservation, eventually to form. a State..

TIIE CLOSE OF THE DEBATE. The John Bull gives a very interesting sketch of the great debate from first to last. The Lord Chan- , cellor's speech is very highly praised, and it seems to have taken everyone by surprise, for his lordship had no reputation as a debater. The Bishop of Oxford and the Archbishop of York lost their chance of speaking, says our contem porary, through dining with the American Minister. It may be that the incident was not wholly unintentional, and that these nstute prelates preferred not to take a prominent part, at least, in the debate, (Dr. Wilberforce has taken a very pro minent part in the division), and, moreover, did not care to . . enter the lists of oratory against the newest . of the bishops, for whom, eloquent though the latter prelate is, even he is no match. Lord Derby, who had been ill throughout the_ week, had a sleepless night on Thursday, and was much overcome by the effort of his speech. The faces of the Bishop of Oxford and Mr. Oladstone during the speech of Lord Westbury, especially when he described himself as the voice of 'one crying in the wilderness, and expressed his great devotion for archbishops - and bishops, were a study. THE DIVISION-LIST. The list was published in a special edition of Satur day's Times at OXO. a.m. The " contents " include neither of the two English archbishops, and only one bishop—St. David's; neither the Archbishops of Canterbury or York, nor the Bishop. of Oxford had " the courage of his convictions." The Bishops of Manchester and Chester were also among those who did not vote. Against the bill there voted no fewer than fifteen bishops and the Archbishop of Dublin. The most notable of the Conservative peers who supported the Government were the Marquisesof Bath and Salisbury, the Earls of Carnarvonand Devon,Viscounts Sid mouth an d Powers court, Lords Lytton and Wharncliffe. Nearly all the Roman Catholic peers voted with the Government, Lord Gormanston being an exception. Lord Lyons came over from Paris to support the Government Lord Lawrence, the late . Viceroy of India, voted on the same side. The Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, though son-in-law of the Duke of Abercorn, did not vote. Among the peers in holy orders not belong ing to the episcopal bench, Lord Saye and Sele sup ported, and Viscount Midleton opposed, the Govern ment. " ANTI-GLAD STONE " DEMONSTRATION. Another "Anti-GladStone " demonstration has place in Ireland. A few hours before the Peers agreed, by-a. majority of thirty-three, to read the Irish Church Bill, from 20,000 to 26,000 persons, mostly Orangemen, were gathered on Fair-green, Enniskillen; there enthusiastically demonstrating in favour of a course which the Lords have refused to adopt. There was the usual march through the town before the meeting, the now common bands of music, the Orange tunes, and the yellow banners. Mr. Brien, D.L., High Sheriff, presided at the meeting. Lord Crichton, Sir Victor Brooke, Mr. Darcy Irvine, Messrs. Porter, J. I'. Steele, and Greer, and Captains Madden and Archdale, were present. The usual resolutions were passed. It remains to be seen if the Government will take notice of the conduct' of the Sheriff in identifying himself with an. illegal party procession. The second reading of the bill does not seem likely to end these monster meetings. The letter of Mr. William Johnson, of Ballykillbeg, M.P., urging more Orange demonstrations, especially on July 12, was apparently intended to apply equally whether the Lords did or did not accept the Irish Church Bill. Speaking as one of the most prominentleaders of the Orange organisation, Mr. Johnson says . "There must be no m i s t a k e as to o ur determination to maintain the Protestant institutions of the country. We do this, not to act as.tyrants or oppressors, but to pres?rve the liberties of the people. We do this; not in the interest of a class, or an order, but having regard to the true wel fare of the nation. Therefore, lam glad that the coming 'Twelfth' is likely to see the Oram., , vmen tnrn out every where—not iii hostile menace towards their Roman Catholic countrymen ; not in boastful exultation over glorious triqmplispast ; but, as men resolutely determined to guard and keep the trust committed to them, will they assemble in their tens of thousands." LORD PALMERSTON. The mote Viplent supporters of the Mall Church have been paradinc , London with extracts from a speech made by Lord Palmerston against disesta blishment and disendowmeut almost sixty years agO. Curiously enough, Lord Palmerston's statue was placed iu Palace-yard on Friday, just in time to witness the triumph of his - old colleagues. If he were liciug now, no . one would more astonished than he that the .suppotterS of the Irish Church should be so hard up for arguments as to refer to a speech of his delivered nearly two generations back. IRISH AGRARIAN OUTRAGES. A return moved for by Sir Thomas Bateson, relating to Iriih agrarian outrages, ahem that since the lstSune,. 1800, eight min - leis, thought to be agrarian, have . been cominittcd . in Ireland, siK of which. have been brouzht home to the pci;feirators. There have Leen no less than 220 -other agrariou outrages - officially reported; in only thirty-three eases. . have their authors . 'been made • amenable. Tho largest number of outrages took place in the six Mont:ls ending June Ist, 1808. During that period fifty three outrages were committed ; the authors of only seven were discovered,. Two were traced out of six. out of lis l t l h e al i f mi o n f be l i. Bo6 ; thirty-one in _ 13t_i. of threatening letters in - connection with the Irish land system 202. The Writers h m a a v d e e b li e t e lo n w t n r a s c i e n d c e in ye 13 1800 A NEW SCOTCU PEER. .. - . . A new Scotch peer representative is shortly to-be elected. Only fifteen were returned in December last. The London Gazette of Friday contained a: proclamation " strictly ' charging - and commanding all the peers of Scotland to assemble and meet at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh on the ith day of July next,: between the hoiii , s Of. tiyeiiii"_(.tHCl:t)iro :in the afternoon," to supply the otnission.. . : : - 1 THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE O F TEE TELEGRAPHS. ! The Economist corrects a current d e l us i on t o th e effect that the purchase of the , telegraphs by the ~ , , Government would raise the rate of interest in Lombard-street. An reality there will be no new . employment of capital in consequence. One set - :..0f persons will lend their money to the Government, and the Government will pal' that m one y to-another set. For the moment But notherewillibeit the new Supply and no new demand.shifting may cause a little rise, as money i ii- transitu is less effective than money at rest: But the result of this momentary change will very soon be imperceptible, and the money market will then resume its previous state, DR. CU3IMING'S THREATENED SECESSION. Dr. Cumming has threatened the Pope that he will go to Rome not theOlogically but bodily, and will prove under the dome of St. Peter's itself that Pius " IK., living in this latter half of the 19th century, is the man of . sin against whbm • St. John warned - his: fellow Christians living in the latter half of the first century. The Specta'or thinks that this is hard upon an old man like the Pope ; hard that a man of near fourscore years should have to be exposed. to the torrent of Dr. Cumming's illo gical verbosity, and earnestly advises Cardinal Auto nelli to hint to the doctor that if he comes within 660 miles of Rome he will be identified w ith th e f a l s e prophet or one of the frogs, and be in d ange r of his life. The last part of this threat is not wise. Dr. Gumming is not physically a coward that we know .of, but to be identified with one of the frogs might well terrify a man - made even of sterner stuff than the . minister of Crown-court Chapel. THE EDUCATION OP HOMAN CATHOLICS. The Weekly .Register protests against- the suppOsi tion of Messrs. Whalley, Newdegate, and others that the education received by Roman Catholics is not suitable vo the wants of the age, and that a religiously brought-up Roman Catholic, or one who really believes and acts according to the tenets of his faith, is not a man suited to bear the brunt of life's battle. The Register declares that "there is not in London a single newspaper of which some of the leading reporters, and. one or more of the chief persons on its staff, are not Catholics. In Punch one, in Fun two, in the Tomahawk three, - of the chief writers are Catholics. There is not a magazine published in London of; which oRe or more of the contributors are not Catholics and the leading burlesque writer of the day belongs to the same Church. At the Horse Guards one of the assistant adjutant-generals, and also the Deputy Quartermaster- General, belong to old Catholic families, and are them selves good Catholics. In the City there are Catholics at Y mercantile concerns, and in the Inns of Catholics than men of any other cree d amongst the rising, I in proporti on t o our numbers, more the ,ar r 1 Courti se there t a e r i of many s of t are,ah e a y The Register forgets to claim Mr. Bellew and Professor Pepper, two of its most recent recruits. SUCH IS FAME. Mr.Bennet.t, of Ch ristiania, the w ell-known factotum of Enf,rah t‘,Urists in N o r wa y, l as t year offered Mr. Wirdley a crucifix for sale - under the idea that he was. a Roman CAI - toile. This blunder and the fol lowing paragraph from the Weekly Perlis' er will spew the member for Peterborough of what value . fame is i—" We are all glad to see that Mr. Whalley, M.P., is recovering ; may he be long spared to serve the Catholic cause." A N ITNNERY 6C AND AL . The people of -Sheffield have got hold of a new. nunnery scandal. Two Protestant Sisters of Mercy have- incurred the wrath of the mob, and the more violent spirits of the crowd have broken.: the windows of the house in which the " sisters " live, and threatened to burn it down. ; The cause of this outburst of indignation iEi the alleged ill4reatment of a girl.by one of the Sisters of Mercy. Screams were heard by the neighbours, and, on an entrance being effected , a girl was found THE CIRCUS FOR CHILDREN. Some persons deeply impressed with the exceeding wickedness of all worldly amusements, and being parti cularly desirous that children should not partake of such, wrote a remonstrance to Dr. Vaughan, the vicar. of Doncaster, against the rev. gentleman taking his parish-school children to a circus which has been visiting the town. The worthy Doctor was told by his correspondent that he was like Sampson, he " was giving his strength and the glory of the Lord to the uncircumcised Philistine." Dr. Vaughan takes the rebtike very seriously indeed. He assures his complainant that he made every inquiry, that he found the entertainment innocent, that the managers and performers were most respectable, and that his friends approved of the way things were conducted. Moreover (the Doctor adds), the manager and the 'performers " have been regular attendants at church; and have opened the circus itself for a religious service . . . It appears to me that, in proportion as a clergyman is bound to protest against such public amusements as are demoralising in their character, he is bound, on the other hand, to spew by word.and act that he rejoices in those popular recrea tions which are innocent and of good report." The Vicar of Doncaster at the last local race meeting wrote a protest against it, and urged the authorities to suppress it. Ile can hardly, therefore, be charged with " blindness to sinful amusements." OL'lt ENGLISH COALFIELDS. The .Economest refers to the keport of the cone. missioners who have been inspecting our coalfields, and finds them highly satisfactory. Professor Jevons, in reporting upon the Bristol, Somersetshire, and Gloucestershire coalfields, says that supposing the average national consumption to remain at 100 million tons a year, the supply from that dis trict alone would. be practically inexhaustible. The Economist thinks it useless to suppose that such an average yield will be main tained, and suggests that it might profitably be ascertained_at what expense coal could be brought to knglana froutforeign or colonial coalfields if the trade were ou an enormous scale. Many manufac tories pay largely for the transport of coal from the pits, and difference of freight from abrbad might slot be sufficient to divert our manufacturing industry. THE COLONIAL SOCIETY. A society has recently been forined which pro mises to be of great utility. Its object is to provide a place of meeting for. gentlemen connected with the colonies and others taking an interest in colonial affairs, and to afford opportunities for the reading of papers and holding- discussions on colonial subjects generally. No paper is allowed to be read which can give a political or party character . to the society. At the last meeting a paper was read on the social and domestic life of the Dutch Boers of South Africa, by Mr. Barnett, lately a resident in that country. Ile treated his subject in an interesting and graphic manner, and when he had concluded au animated discussion took place. J. Sekelo, the son of Moshesh, the Basuto chief, was present. ROYALTY AMONG THE SCHOOLDOYS. Two " Royal Highnesses" addressed - students on Friday. Wellington College was visited by the Prince of Wales, • the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich by the Duke of Cambridge. It was speech day at Wellington College, prize day at Woolwich. There was a fashionable assembly at Wellington College, lords and ladies, knights and squires, soldiers .and profasors assembling t o d o honour to the occasion. A prize was presented.by Prince Arthur for history, one by the Archbishop of Canterbury for divinity, tWo were the gift of the Earl of Derby (one of . them 5 . 4) the profits on his lordship's " Homer "), and a Queen's medal was banded to the beSt-conducted student. In pro posing the loyal toasts much stress was • laid on the fact that royalty and statesmen patronised the college The Prince of Wales, replying to the toast of his health, attributed all the success of the College to the other governors, not to himself, the president. Still he took the,warmest interest in it, as his lamented father had done, as his beloved mother still: did. During the ten years which had elapsed since the inauguration.of the College those interested in its direction had reason to congratulate themselves on its gradual improvement in various respects. In its first year there were only 75 boys in the institution, now there were 320; and he did not- see• why -that number should not be increased to 500 when the privilege of living 'in lodgings provided by -,the masters was-extended to the pupili.. The Duke of Cambridge was • accompanitd at Woolwich by Prince Arthur. This tinic happiTy ; the Duke did not come to find fault. lie had to bestow commissions on forty students in the Academy— twenty to the Royal Engineers and twenty to the Royal Artillery. - Congratulating himself and the students that he did not come to upbraid them; his Royal llighness . Went on to remind the cadets that in these extraordinarily scientific days, when inven tions were constr.ntly springing up and the mode of warfare changing, they must not consider, when they left these walls, that their education was completed. If they wished to become efficient officers in her Majesty's service, they must carefully watch these modern improvements, and endeavour to profit by them. . . THE COURT, THE CAMP, AND TIIE SEA. The naval and military papers contain several items of mis - Cellaneous information chiefly affecting the Court and the two Services. The Broad Arrow says that Lord Alfred Paget has been apppointed by the Queen to attend .on the Viceroy of Egypt, who will arrive at Dover on Tuesday, the 22nd inst., come up to Buckingham Palace, stop - one night at Windsor Castle, and be present at the review on the .26th at Windsor. From the same paper we learn that the Sultan has con ferred upon 'Sir - Samuel. Baker the title of pasha, as a proof of the interest he takes in the success of Sir Samuel's expedition. We are told also that Colonel S. J. Hill, , C. 8., late Governor-in-Chief of the Leewardlslands, who has just returned from the West Indies, goes out very shortly to administer the government of Newfoundland. Colonel Hill's mili tary and civil services extend over a period of forty four years, during which time he has always been employed. • The Uniteq,Sqrvice Gazette says that recruiting is now going .on most vigorously, and the Queen's shilling seems to possess unusual attractions. The same paper mentions that another reduction of the Coastguard is about to take place to the extent of 100 men. The divisional officers, who now perform the duties which used to pertain to the inspecting commanders, are.to be abolished, and the inspecting commanders are to be charged with increased duties. The Army and Navy Gazette thinks that the public service will suffer by the removal of Mr. Romaine from the Admiralty, and regrets that he was not so successful in gaining the confidence of the present Board of Admiralty as he was with previous Boards. THE SURVIVORS OF WATERLOO. . . On the 54th ..anniversary of. Waterloo, just past, there were living 135 officers who took part in that battle. They consisted of-Field-marshals, 2 ; gene rals, 11; 21 ; major-generals, 7 ; colonels, 8; lieutenant-colonels; 10; majors, 12; captains, 13 ; lieutenants. 22; ensigns, 1 ; paymasters, 4 ; quartermasters, 7 ; deputy. inspector-generals of hospitals, 1; surgeon-Majors, 4 ; surgeons to the Forces, 1; •assistant-siiignons, 2 ; veterinary sur geons, 1 ; sfirgeons,• 2 ; total, -.135. Of the .fore going numbers, the. only officers serving on full pay are Major F. Feneran, Paymaster of a Depot Battalion, and Major J. Daniell,. Barrackmaster at. De;'onnort. FOREIGN NOTES. SWEDEN, NORWAY, AND DENMAEX. Tne negotiations respecting the marriage of the Prince. Louise of Sweden with the Prince Royal of Denmark— which is to take place on the Gth of July—were not con ducted, the I'atrie assures us, merely with a view to a matrimonial contract. It is certain, says the Paris paper, that arrangements have been made by which Denmark, Sweden, and Norway will henceforth be united in an intimate political alliance. The army and navy on each side of the Baltic are being rapidly reorganised. .THE NEW SPANISH MINISTRY. The appointment of Marshal Serrano as Regent of Spain has, of course, been accompanied by a reconstruction of the Ministry: .The chances, however, are few. Prim retains the all-important post of War Minister, and there is a new Secretary of State and a new. Minister of Grace and Justice. The portfolio of Finance has not been trans ferred. ROUE AND SPAIN. A telegram from Madrid states that tne relationabe tween the Spanish Government and the Pope "continue to be cordial." As it Las been generally reported that those relations were of the most unfriendly character, and that a rupture between the two Courts was imminent, this is satisfactory news. The cOngratula: tions of the Ministry on the anniversary of his Holiness's accession to the Chair of St. Peter, with a large sum of money, representing the arrears due •from Spain to Rome, have been sent by the Nuncio. TILE BELGIAN RAILWAY QUESTION. The mixed commission for the settlement of the Belgian, railway clifficuity seems to get on very slowly, and, according to a semi•ofcial Faris paper, the delay is caused by fresh demands on the part of France. The commission was appointed to arrange the terms of an international system of traffic between the East of France Railway and the two Belgian lines. It now transpires that the French Government 'desires the convention to apply to all Belgian lines passing thxough Belgium to Holland. As the demand to lease the lines has been giN'td Up, It; 14 possible that this request may be got over without much trouble. THE RING OF PRUSSIA IN HANOVER. The Patric is directly contradicted by the Berlin cor respondent of the Daily News. The French journal asserted that the Ring of Prussia was extremely unpopu lar in Hanover ; the writer in the London paper says that his Majesty has been very well received, and that the grumblers are an unimportant minority. It should be remembered, however, that at a recent election which took place in Hanover, the candidate supported by the Government was defeated by a large majority. COSMOPOLITAN REVOLUTION. If we are to believe the Mbnorial Diplomatique, the true importance of the Paris riots has been greatly and universally underrated. In fact, the disturbances at Paris were merely a branch outbreak of a grand cosmopolitan revolution which was to overwhelm almost all the sovereigns of Europe. The time of the French elections had been fixed for a great Republican movement in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Bohemia, Moravia, and the Danubian Principalities. Mazzini was, of course, the arch-conspirator; but the plot leaked out, the King of Italy being first informed of it. " Hence the expulsion of Mazzini from Switzerland." The Memorial further notices that large number's of fot eigners took part in the Paris 12neute. This is a remarkable story; but some difficulties present themselves. In the first• place, Mazzini was not sent out of Switzerland, but only ordered away from the cantons bordering on Italy and France. Then, it may be asked why this great revolution broke out only in one or two French towns. And, lastly, how is it that the foreigners arrested in Paris are mostly Belgians, whereas Belgium did not come within the scope of the great cos mopolitan scheme? But the lifCmorial always liked to astonish the world. . EDUCATION IN EUROPE. An estimate— not the first—has been made of the rela tive position of the various European nations with respect to primary education. According to this calculation Saxony stands first in point of efficiency, Switzerland next, and Russia and Turkey last. England occupies only the fourteenth place out of a list of twenty-three. Primary instruction in England, according to this table, is inferior to that in Baden, Wurtemberg, and Bavaria, and superior only to that of Italy, Greece, Austria, and simi larly conditioned States. Are we really so bad as this? If so, education ought, indeed, to become the question of the day. THE FRENCH AMBASSADOR IN CHINA. Full .particulars of the quarrel between the French representative at Pekin and a Chinese magnate have now come to hand. It appears that Count de la Rochechouart, charge d'affaires of France, was on his way a few days ago to some races held in the environs of Pekin, when his 'cortege fell in with the suite of a personage known as the Ninth Prince of the Celestial Empire. The meeting caused a little obstruction, whereupon the Prince galloped to the middle of the cortege of the French repre sentative, meantime whipping • indiscriminately right and left. After committing this violent act the Prince took to flight. After a little preliminary negotiation, the interpreter of the French Legation was sent to the Ministry to demand satisfaction, but this was haughtily refused, the Ministers arguing that the outrage had been witnessed by no one, and that reparation was therefore out of the question. This extraordinary reply induced• the' French representative to ask the assistance of the Russian Ambassador, as senior diplomatist, which was freely given, the whole diplomatic body sympathising with Count Rochechouart. As soon as the Chinese 'Ministers learned that the representatives of all the Powers disapproved of their conduct they at once altered their tone and came in a body to the Count's residence ,to apologise. Here the affair ended. .11EVERDY JOHNSON ON ENGLANDc Astonishing to learn, the New York press nas not thought even Mr. Reverdy Johnson's opinions unworthy of notice. A representative of the New York Times has practised the usual "pump " operation with the late Ambassador to England, and has obtained from him an expression of sentiment which is duly recorded. Mr. Reverdy Johnson admires England. He declared that the British Government would never accede to Mr. Sumner's demands, and that England would rather lose her last man and her last shilling than give up Canada. He believed that Mr. Motley would not find a settle ment of the Alabama difficulty very easy work, for much bitterness was felt in England at the rejection of his own treaty. MONEY AND BUSINESS. (From the Springfield Republican, June 5.) The money market has been quint, easy, and steady during the week, with an abundant supvly of fends and low rates of interest; 6 to GI per cent. have been the rul ing figures at New York and Boston, and there is little activity in the market, except that caused by the usual changing of deposits on the first of the month. The in flated and highly speculative condition of the stock 'Ler kat, and the coutinuelly expending strength of the Vert derbilt interest, ere, however, producing considerable caution and circumspection among the capitalists, and and unexpected alarm in thrt quarter would cause instant stringency and probably panic in the money market. The tremendous power of the Vanderbilt combination could hardly be continued intact and effective, should death or any o.ber agency remove its central pillar, and there is a growing feeling of anxiety, while such momentous finan cial interests depend solely on one human life.' The upward course of speculation in the stock market Must have its limit, and preparations are being made for the turning point, which may be reached more suddenly and sharply than human foresight can pre dict. . The market is also very sensitive in its Washington nerve, and seeks to be prepared for any new developments of the policy of the Government. The continued sales of gold and purchases of bonds at the present rates will diminish the resources of the New "York banks some $20,000,000 in twelve weeks, and they will take timely measures for protection against any embarrass ment from that cause, The market at the West is more active than for several weeks, and the usual summer dul ness is likely to be considerably diminished by a lively trade with the towns and cities of the interior. Gold diminishes its premium daily; and its status for the past Week has been consistent and equable. The steady decline which began when the speculators surrendered to Mr. Boutwell has continued, and the marketeince has been quiz() without excitement. The Treasury sale of a million on Monday realized 138} to 1381, and that on Thursday 1384 to 138 i.• The Secretary of the Treasury estimates that ho can spare to his sinking fund all the proceeds of the sales in June, and there are reports that he will sell more than two millions weekly. The July interest in gold will require over $31,000,000 of coin, but the current re ceipts of the Government are expected to be fully adequate to this amount and something more. The total receipts Customs at New York from July 1 to May 29—eleven months of the current .fiscal year . --were $115,451,058 as increase of nearly $10,000,000 over the amount for the corresponding time in the previous year. The balance against us on our foreign trade account last week, after deduction of shipments of Government Bonds, was nearly $309,000, which will probably be met by export of speci as soon as the rates of foreign exchange are more favour able. Government securities have been steady and improving at New York, mainly -in consequence of their decided- appreciation in the foreign markets. Mr. Motley has assured London that we don't mean to fight for the Alabama debts this summer, and her money changers have returned to buying and selling and speculating in American bonds with renewed zest. and confidence. The favourable statement of the national debt, June. 1, showing a reduction of over $13,000,000 during the month of May, also increases 'popular confidence in the ability and confidence of Mr. Boutwell's administra tion of our finances, and of the great improvement in our manner of doing business. The total decrease of the debt since March 1 three months—has been over $20,000,000, at which rate, reckoning interest, our ." national blessing" will disappear at the rate of a hundred millions annually. Mr. Boutwell continues purchasing Five-twenties, and his sinking fund now amounts to $3,093,295. He an nounces unofficially that no Three per Cent. Certificates will be redeemed at present. The transfers of registered January and July Five-twenties have been closed, and the books of registry will be returned to New York by the middle of this mouth, so that holders can have their 'in terest repaid if they wish it. The great interest of the railway share' market, this week, has centred about the Michigan Southern and Lake Shore consolldated stock, on which there has been a steady advance in anticipation of the election at Cleveland, and consequent possession of the road, by the Vanderbilt power. The expecta tions have, so far, been realised, and the election, Wed neslay, resulted in the choice of a board of Vander bilt directors and officers, thus giving the "commo dore" and his men sole and uninterrupted control of a through line from New York to Chicago, by way of Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Toledo. There are already rumours of a further consolidation of all the com panies along this line, into ono mammoth` corpora tion, with a liberal scrip dividend to stockholders. after the fashion which V an d er bilt mo st su c c essfully practised on the Central stock last fall. The consummation of this project is uncertain, but what has already b ee n accon plished secures to the Vanderbilt party divisio n of thet Western trade and traffic on equal terms with the Pennsyl vania Road, with its Fort Wayne c onsolidation, leavingthe Erie to compromise, unprofitable comp.-A I ion, or re . ti cj o ia n tm o t f i its au edffsotr.eLs Louis se isb o u u s r i i n n e g thess south-west Thesou last -" a t lt s e e rn d a t t le i i vo C w in il; l . e ie ase co o n f s t i l d i e e r A ab t l l e antic a p n ro d b G a b r l e y a t b ‘ e v the este r o u n l e i ne gives adopted, a th s e th E e ad vantage in rivalry for south-western and southern busi ness. Hannibal and St. Joseph (Mo.) stock has also been excited and ascending during the week, in consequence of a report of a speedy liberal watering of stock. Other stocks have been quiet and undisturbed, while rumours multiply of an approaching end of the reign of the "bulls," and tr ...... general decline all along the board. The business in dry goods is not large but steady, and prices are firmly held, with a good tone in the market. The stock on hand is no greater than can comfortably be carried, and the feeling of manufacturers and jobbers is friendly and conciliatory. Each party appears satisfi(pd to go on with the present condition of affairs until full business shall enliven trade and create a greater demand for goods. The Boston boot and shoo market has been dull, with few buyers, but manu facturers are fairly busy on full work, for which there are indications of a good demand. The live stock.markets at New York and Brighton have been over supplied, with a consequent reduction in price on cattle and sheep, though pigs and lambs are still high and in good demand. (From the Wall-street Journal.) Friday Evening, June 4, 130.. Money on call is without any important change, the_ general rate on ordinary stock collaterals being 7 per cent., and on Government Bonds 6 per cent. Discounts are slow at 7 to 81 per cent. on first class acceptances. Prices for gold to-day are hizher, having opened at 1371, and closed at 1382. At the seventh Treasury sole cf gcld on May 31st bids were filed for $6,940,000. The highest bid was 138.60, and the lowest 138.05. The one million sold was awarded as follows—sloo,ooo at 138.53, $500,00 0 at 138.55, and $lOO,OOO at 138.60. At the eighth sale yes terday, the aggregate amount of proposals for gold re ceived at the office of the Assistant-Treasur , r was $6,750,000, at prices ranging from 137 i to 138 321-100. The awards were as follow, viz.: —5150,000 at 138 23-100, $50,000 at 138 26-100, $50,000 at 138 30-100, $50,000 at 138 28-100, $50,000 at 138 30.100, $lOO,OOO at 138 31-ICO3 and $250,000 at 138 381-100 ; in all 1,000,000. Railroad Stocks are unsettled, and are heavily pressed for sale, especially the ;Clique Stocks. There has been quite a spurt in Central New Jersey and Hannibal and St. Joseph, but the rise in neither of these stocks have been maintained, and they have relapsed into inactivity. Rail road Bonds of the better class are generally strong, but the feeling is there are too many of a dubious sort pressed on the market : N. Y. Central 6s, 1883 90 N. Y. Central 6s, 1887 93 N. Y.
