TUE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 16, 1859. CASE OF THE BET. MR. BONWELL, SECOND DA.Y. The adjourned inquiry into the allegations against the Rev. Mr. Bonwall was resumed this morning at Doctors'- commons. THIRD EDITION. Mr. Joseph Nethercliff said—l have taken fete similes of the advertisement and a letter sent to the Times. I have compared them with the original letters of Mr. Bonwell, and I believe them both to be in his handwriting. Mr. Best, barrister, of the Oxford Circuit, on the part of the Rev. Mr. Bonwell, severely cross-examined the wit ness on the grounds on which he formed his opinion, taking latter by letter, a course of proceeding to which he strongly objected. Finally, the witness declared that he was "sorry to say that it was the handwriting of Mr. Bonwell.'" Mr. Best—Sorry Mr. Nethercliff—Yes ; sorry—l am very sorry to have to appear as a witness against a clergyman of the Church of England. A clerk from the Court of Quarter Sessions produced the original depositions, taken at the inquest on the body of Philip Yorath, held at Stepney. Mr. Collis—l went to 33, Thornhill-crescent a few days ago, and saw Mrs. Bonwell. Mr. Best—Have you ever seen Mrs. Bonwell before ? Witness—No. Mr. Best—Then how do you know that it was Mrs. Bonwell ? Witness—l asked her if she was the wife of the Rev. James Bonwell, and she said "Yes." Mr. Bullen—That is my case. Mr. Bost then addressed the Commissioners for his rev. client, and, in his opening observations, dwelt very strongly on the importance of the first inquiry, both as re spected Mr. Bonwell and the interests of the Church of England. The communication of the Bishop set out the charges against his client under three heads. The first was that, on or about July last, Mr. Bon well had admitted, or caused to be admitted and harboured, a certain unmarried female, named Eliza beth Yorath ; that he constantly visited her ; and that, on or about the 13th of August, the said female was delivered of a male child. The next charge was that the child had been buried in a highly objectionable manner ; and the last charge was that ho (the said Rev. James Bonwell), had had, during the two years last passed, adulterous intercourse with the said female within the diocese of London, or elsewhere. With re spect to the burial, he would dispose of that part of the case at once. His client, he contended, was not in the slightest degree to blame for the manner in which that child had been buried, but the blame altogether rested upon Mr. Ayres, the undertaker, whose conduct had been most disgraceful. Now, with respect to that of the commission direct ing the court of inquiry into the charge of adul terous intercourse within the diocese, or elsewhere. Tho last word, "elsewhere," had been inserted to take in the pro ceedings at Newport, Monmouthshire, but it had been laid down and decided that a bishop could only inquire into facts that had taken place within his diocese. The whole or nearly the whole of the witnesses examined yesterday had been called to prove acts done out of the jurisdiction of the commission, and therefore it must be rejected by the com mission as totally irrelevant to the present inquiry. Tho letter written to Miss Amies by Miss Yorath he could hardly think would be considered as very strong evidence against his client; on the contrary, he thought in any de cision they (the commissioners) might come to, they would shut it out altogether. The learned counsel, in his opening speech, had asked, " 'Where is Miss Yorath ?—she is the only elle that can tell with certainty who is the father of the child. We can't call her, because she has been got out of the way ;" but, in answer to that, he could only say, prove such to be the case. An expert witness had been called to speak to the handwriting of the advertisement that had been pub lished in the Times, and he was of opinion that that adver tisement was drawn up by Mr. Bonwell, but would it not have been much better, before adopting such a course, to have inquired at the reference given by the party paying for the advertisement, to ascertain whether such a person as Mr. Briggs was to be found ; if so, he would be the best person to give information about that part of the case. Such a course had not been adopted. But the learned gentlemen on the other side had preferred calling a gentleman who, after looking through magnifying glasses for some time, came to the con clusion, judging simply from original letters Mr. Bonwell had written to the Bishop, that the advertisement was in the handwriting of the rev. gentleman. The verdict of the coroner's jury had censured the rev. gentleman for his con duct in visiting Miss Yorath while she was at the school-house, but he thought he was only doing that which common humanity called upon him to perform. Supposing a lady visited one of the reverend commissioners in either of their vestry-rooms, and was suddenly taken in pains of labour, it was certain she could not be removed, and medical aid would have to be procured. If such was done, could that be called a scandal on the Church of England ? Why, he thought a clergyman, acting in such a manner, was only doing a Christian act, and was entitled to praise rather than censure. Looking at the whole of the evidence that had been submitted he maintained that a prima fade case ha 1 not been made out against his client. Had his client done anything wrong up to the death of the child of Miss Yorath ? certainly not, and the most that could be said against him was that his con duct was censurable, and that by a jury called together in Whitechapol. The newspapers and cheap publications had commented very strongly on the acts of Mr. Bonwell, and was it to be wondered that after such comments a jury should say Mr. Eonwell was censurable for his conduct towards 31iss Yorath. The jury, in his opinion, were pre judiced. They had expected a case of manslaughter, if not wilful murder, would be made out against the rev. gentle man, and such not being the case they said to themselves, we must find something against Mr. Bonwell ; and, there fore, they said the child died of inanition, and Mr. Bonwell's conduct had been censurable. In con clusion, he would ask the Commissioners whether it had been proved to their satisfaction that Mr. Bonwell had ; harboured Miss Yorath at the school lions°. With respect to his being present when the child was born he would not pretend to deny ; but if by their report further staps were taken in this painful affair before the Bishop of the diocese, his client would be fully prepared to meet that part of the charge against him. He, therefore, submitted that sufficient evidence had not been produced to enable the commissioners to find a prima facis case against the rev. gentleman. The Commissioners then retired to consult, After an absence of an hoar and a quarter the Commis sioners returned into court, and Dr. Twiss said the commissioners had had ample oppor tunity of considering the evidence that had been produced to support the allegations in the commission, and they had come unanimously to the report which would be submitted to the Bishop. The present inquiry had been instituted to investigate and consider the charges made against the Rev. James Bonwell, and to ascertain whether he ought to be put on a trial with a reasonable proba bility of a verdict, in accordance with justice, being obtained against him. The learned doctor, having al luded to the case of Mr. Markham, said the Commissioners thought with respect to the scandal of Mr. Bonwell har bouring an unmarried female in the school-house, there were sufficient prima facie grounds for instituting further pro ceedings against him. The Commissioners aro also of opinion that with respect to his conduct subsequent and after, with relation to its burial, and also as to his being the father of the child,there were sufficient grounds for instituting further proceedings ; but with respect to the adulterous in tercourse being carried on during the last two years within the diocese, the Commissioners are of opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to justify further proceedings on that part of the case. The learned Doctor then said that the whole of the evidence taken in that court would be transmitted to the Bishop of London, together with the re port of the present inquiry. The Registrar then declared the commission closed. In consequence of this decision, the Bishop will have to sit in the next stage of the hearing, assisted by a legal asses sor, and in the event of the case being proved against Mr. Bonwell his lordship will be empowered to pass sen tence. The further hearing cannot, in consequence of the legal forms which have to be gone through, take place for several weeks. Agra&UnitedServiceßkl Australasia (Bank of Egypt rank of London Brit. Col.

SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Special Jury.) CROWN EXTENT.-THE QUEEN V. PARSONS. This was an inquiry under a writ of extent in aid, pro secuted on behalf of the Crown, against the defendant, a collector of Queen's taxes, who was a defaulter for moneys received to the amount of £1,200. The defendant was de scribed as of Cambridge-terrace, Hackney, and the inquiry was as to what moneys, chattels, and effects the defendant was possessed within the bailiewick of the Sheriffs of the City of London on the 9th of December last. Mr. Whittle, one of the officers of the Sheriffs, produced the writ, and proved that he had attached all moneys stand ing in the name of the defendant in the London and County Joint-Stock Bank—that was all the property that he could discover. Mr. H. White, a clerk in the bank, proved the amount to be £941 4s. 7d. The learned Secondary directed the jury, who gave a verdict for that amount. THE EMPEROR'S NEW STABLES.—The principal portion of the Emperor's stud has just been installed in the buildings of the New Louvre, where, on the side to wards the quay in the Cour du Vieux Louvre and the Cour Henri 111., every accommodation has been pro vided for ninety horses, with coach-houses, a riding school and every necessary dependence. The stables are arranged on the most approved system, and all the fixtures and fittings are both ornamented and perfectly adapted to their purpose. The parti tions of the stalls are carved oak, the racks bronze, the mangers marble, and the chains steel. The columns are covered with a new kind of stucco, equal to marble for smoothness and polish. In the Cour Henri TH. there is an iron staircase, of a very gentle slope, by which the horses go up to the riding-school, situated on a level with the picture gallery. SUN OFFICE, Seven ("Clock.

Richard Norman, 19, an inmate of St. Martin's Workhouse, was charged with assaulting Charles Tregoar, another inmate, with a poker. The complainant said that about eight o'clock that morning the prisoner accused him wrongfully of having taken away his (prisoner's) smock frock, which he deriied, and after a few words had passed between them, he seized the poker from the fire-place, and hit him on the head with it. He had a struggle with the prisoner, and succeeded in getting the poker from him. An inmate of the house said he saw the prisoner flourish ing the poker about, to the danger of all the old people, and saw the wound on complainant's head, lout not the blow given. Mr. Bing:lram said the prisoner had certainly been brought up in a very rough school. The prisoner said he only took up the poker in self defence. Mr. Bingham said even in his own defence he should not use such a thing as a poker unless his life was in danger. Even now the complainant might die from erysipelas from such a blow as he had received. There was very great excess. Fined 40s. or a month. 11118 DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Coastwise and by land carriage only a limited supply of English wheat same to hand to-day; hence the show of samples was very moderate, but in improved condition. The attendance of buyers was far from numerous, yet the demand for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at quite Monday's currency. We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Fine dry parcels were held for more money, and the value of other qualities was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain maintained their previous value. _ The few samples of fine malting barley on the stands sold readily, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull, but not cheaper. New malt moved off steadily ; old qualities heavily, at late quotations. There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at extreme rates ; but both beans and peas were a slow sale. The flour trade was healthy, on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

As far as the mere name goes, it is familiar enough just now, for it challenges our eye in the newspapers. Every one also knews that M. Mocquard holds a most distinguished posi tion, for he is the friend, confidant, and private secretary of the Emperor. Here, for " that vast perusing noun of multitude," the public, the infor mation comes to a standstill, excepting the reason able supposition that somewhere about the close of the last century, as the romancist would say, M. Mocquard was a small infant, whose whole genius was bent on obtaining the proper amount of nourish ment, to fit him for holding his own, in what Dar win calls the universal "struggle for existence." But in what way did he come to occupy his pre sent position; where did he get to know the Empe ror; and how did he fill up the long gap between his birth and the glories in which he is now a par ticipator ? From all we can hear, he made his way to fortune and fame, not by stratagem and arti fice, but by the force of strong talents and his en- gaging personal qualities. While still a lad at school he carried off the prizes ; and on entering the world he dashed at distinction—for the first thing he did was to try his hand at diplomacy. Even at that early age he showed how well he understood the subtle science, which, as old Hudibras says, con sists " half in words and half in face," and a very good face 'did the young Mocquard put upon it. But during his studies he had discovered his own peculiar strength, which lay in pleading. He consequently turned his attention to the law, and took to it as naturally as a duck to water. From this day his career was one great success, although, in the eventful changes which came over his native land, he had to suffer his share of misfortunes and reverses. His eloquent oratory became the talk of the day, and he won the esteem and admiration of men like Brougham, Lyndhurst, and Ellenborough. In the height of this prosperity, and after ten years of uninterrupted labour, he was attacked with an affection of the larynx which threatened the loss of his voice. He was too much a philosopher to murmur at the decrees of fate, so he resigned his profession and took up his abode in the Pyrenees, where he devoted himself to literature. And here he quietly remained studying, until he was surprised by the Revolution of July, 1830, when he accepted a sous prefecture ; but for want of sympathy with the reigning powers, he soon gave up the post and again returned to a quiet life, occasionally varied by wan dering visits abroad. His acquaintance with the Third Napoleon was of long standing. In 1817 M. Mocquard found himself at Arenemberg, where the Queen Hortense was residing with her brother and her son. He won their esteem by a literary service. A biogra phical 'notice of Queen Hortense had, appeared in the " Biographie des Contemporains ; ' -but, holding it to be unworthy of its subject, M. Mocquard published, without his name, another account which did fuller justice to the Queen—that most original and animated musician, who little thought, perhaps, that her Imperial son would make the stray composition of her leisure hours the na tional air of France. It was thus that M. Mocquard first established himself as the valued friend of the family. Nor did he surrender that position; he claimed all the privileges of misfortune. For a long time he kept the cause alive in the Commerce newspaper and in other ways. He did so at a later date, when the Prince was an exile in England ; and again in Paris he stood as firm as a rock by the side of his illustrious friend all through the perilous coup d'etat. This was the crowning point for the faithful follower; he was chosen to be private secre tary, a post which he has ever since held, and to gain his car is equivalent to a tete-a-tete with his Majesty. Such is the man from whom the Liver pool merchants received their answer—and people said it was only the secretary. " Only the secretary." The post is no sinecure; indeed it needs a mind congenial to that of a Napo leon. The business to be transacted is, as may bo supposed, not only of Imperial proportions, but of a kind which demands a strong and original mind. The details have to be systematised and classified, almost with the precision of a science. And yet M. Mocquard, vigilant, patient, all-seeing, with a life full up to the brim, makes time for other things. His grande passion is said to be not politics but literature, which acknowledges in the translator of Tacitus the original author of stories touching enough to ' draw " iron tears from Paris' cheek "—a test. more severe than the same operation on the cheek of the less blase Pluto. To listen to his own estimate of himself; you might wonder that he is where he is, at the centre of the most active politique in existence ; but that be is there proves that he is the man for the place. And the reason is soon learned. Deliberate in re flection, yet prompt and positive in judgment— sharp and clear in expression, yet more than cour teous, conciliatory, and kind—versatile, yet faith ful ; Itble to view affairs in their simple abstraction, yet to handle them in their complicated concrete, ho is the very man whom the poetry of romance might have imagined for what Destiny has made him—the " Sccretaire de PEmpercur."—Aspcctator.

The present Imperial family of Austria is popu lar, at least in the capital; and if one can trust the common reports of their private life, deservedly so. Ido not now refer to the Emperor's political course. No doubt he preserves all the traditions of his race, the proud House of Hapsburg, and clings to power, and would combat revolution as fiercely as any despot. But personally, so far as I can learn, though of a temper quick and vio lent, his character is worthy of respect. He is married to a princess of Bavaria, and in his devotion to his wifo is a pattern to his people. It was not a cold-blooded State alliance, but a pure love-match ; and the royal couple seem to be as fond of each other as any less exalted lovers. They are both domestic in their tastes, and prefer each other's society to all the gaieties of the court. Though compelled to assume some degree of state, yet, for royal personages, nothing could be more unosten tatious than their style of life. In visiting the pa lace, we were surprised at the simplicity of the im perial apartments, in such marked contrast to the magnificence of Versailles, or even to the show which surrounds the monarchy of Prussia. So in their way of living they are very simple. Though compelled by their position to take the lead of the court, to receive the foreign ambassadors, and Mi nisters of the Government, and all distinguished foreigners, yet, strange as it may seem, the Empe ror and Empress are not fond of society, but prefer a quiet domestic life. No one can hear the stories which are told of their family circle, without feeling a deep interest in this young couple, so exalted in their station, yet so simple in their tastes and so happy in their love. The first fruit of this marriage died. When visiting the burial place of the Empe rors, under the Church of the Capuchins, we ob served among the stately tombs a little coffin, wreathed with flowers, which encloses the last scion of the House of Austria ; and the monk told us that the Empress came often to look upon the resting place of her first-born child. When we were at Lakenburg, the court were in hourly expectation of the birth of another royal child, and preparations were made for an illumination ; and though nothing could well be more indifferent to us, yet after hearing so much of. this youthful queen, we could not but feel a wish that the yearning of her mother's heart might be gratified, and while we cared nothing for its political consequences, it was with a degree of pleasure that, a week later, we heard the cannon at Venice announce the birth of a little prince and heir to the Imperial th rone . This simplicity of manners is a feature of the Aus trian court, and does much to soften the rigo ur o f the Imperial rule. The Kaiser mingles more f ree ly and familiarly with his people. The old Archduke John, the uncle of the Emperor, w a lk s a b ou t the Prater, talking to the people, and patting children on their heads. The familiarity does not diminish respect, but awakens attachment. All love the simple, good old man. Royal condescen sion gives to the sovereign of the country some thing of a paternal character in the eyes of his people, and leads them to look up to him with an awe mingled with affection.—Summer Pictures from Copenhagen to Venice. TESTIMONIAL PROM TILE QUEEN.—On the occa sion of her Majesty's visit to Penrhyn Castle, the members of the Penrhyn Choral Society sang before the royal family. The Queen was so pleased with the efforts of the choristers that she resolved to present a silver cup to the society through the lion. Mr. Pennant, of Penrhyn Castle. Ac cordingly, at a numerous meeting held on Wednesday, at Bethseda, the presentation took place. The testimonial cup weighs 90oz. of silver, and bears the following inscrip tion :—" Presented by her Majesty the Queen to the Choral Society of the Penrhyn Slate Quarries, which sang before her Majesty, on Sunday evening, 16th of October, 1859." Sir Charles Phipps, in a letter to Mr. Pennant, says : " Her Majesty and the Prince Consort would be glad if this cup, while it was considered as a mark of the satisfaction with which they heard the very creditable performance of the numerous body who sang before, them, might also be looked upon as testifying the approval with which her Ma • jesty and his Royal Higness regard - the cultivation by all under your employment and in your neighbourhood of so laudable and humanising a taste, and of their wish that all should unite in encouraging a mode of employing their leisure hours so likely to prove beneficial to their social and moral condition." EXPLOSION OP WATER PIPES IN GLASGOW . , AND Loss OF LIFE.—On Monday momingan accident happened to one of the Loch Katrine water pipes in St. George's road, Glasgow. It arose from an explosion in a well that was full of escaped gas. A man named Campbell descended, and another called Bow handed lights down. The foul gas exploded, when Campbell was killed and Bow seriously in jured. I I
