Further, if the nominee chamber ! honour and judgment he felt equal confidence, while he LONDON, • fe!t still more for his temper and discretion. It was only in a case where the money was likely to be applied in n, ne•inr-r contrary to the iatentions of Per Hesitant titat, he (Earl Grey) advised their interference. Then with regard to Use opinione ho would only make one short oboervation. In 1849 papers were laid before Parliament, and given to the world, and sent out to the colony, in which was the fact that an opinion of countel unfavourable to the company had been pronounced; hut, at the same tine, he had himself explicitly stated eis opinion to be in favour of the com pany. These opinions were known in the colony three years previously. The whole question was whether the settlement between the company and the settlers was a fair and proper one. The fact was, that it W 33 one mot favourable to the settlers. The circumstance of that opinion having been given was known to all the world, and no attempt was made to disturb that settle cwt. He could only express a hope that the inquiry would take place; but in the meantime it was their duty to adhete to their bargain, and let them have the advan tage. He thought that out of justice to the company the arrangement as suggested by her Majesty's Go vernment ought to be maintained. The settlers of New Zealand had no right to complain of that—they were to be charged with a quarter of the gross proceeds of the sale of the lard towards the discharge of the corn : pant's debts. Now, what gave values to the land was the expenditure of capital by the Parliament and the company; and that being so, it was desirable that the New Zealand Company, who had received nothing for their large expenditure for many years, shou'd have that amount from the land. The settlers could have no right to complain of that as being unjust; but he thought it was an error in the Bill not to state that the future liabilities which might arise under the Ant of 1847 should be defrayed out of the New Zealand land revenue; they had certainly no right to come upon the British Treasury or the nation. That was the view he entertained while he held the Colonial seals, and it would be satisfactory if the Bill had contained a clause to that effect. With regard to the larger and more general question, the Noble Lord who spoke second in the debate entered fully into it, but he did not think his Noble Friend had read history very correctly. He did not think he could say that the old American colonies hod complete control over the land and revenues of the colonies. Lord LYTTELTON—By their charters. Earl GREY—That, of course, was a very different matter. He also stated that they had unrestricted trade with all the world, but this could not be established by the fact, as from the earliest date it was the policy of France, of England, and of every other country, to re strict the colonies exclusively to their own use and benefit. They were looked upon as a species of Crown land. It was further stated that they had an unlimited power of making war. Undoubtedly they made war upon the natives; but beyond that they had no wars of their own, and that was the only species of war they were likely to make. There were only three or four pro visions of the Bill to which he thought it right to offer any objection. The first was, as to the change in the constitution of the provincial councils. He believed that a great portion ot the public business would devolve on these councils; but it was quite necessary also that there should be general councils to meet special cases and to meet occssioually. Ho had urged the same objec tion with regard to the Act relating to the Australian co lonies. It was, at the same time, satisfactory to find that the Government had given a general over ridingauthority to the general legislature. He thought, also, that great inconvenience would arise from that provision of the Bill which deprived the Crown of a veto upon the acts of the colonial legislature. He had always thought that the Crown ought to have this supreme authority; and it would he tuiposeible beforehand to define what acts they should be ailowed to pass without any control, and what acts the Imperial Legislature might place its veto on. That would give rise to conflicts of authority and jurisdiction; and they were all aware that such really occurred in the United States. Without such a provi• sion as he had rekared to, he feared that very serious inconvenience and embarrassment would result. On the ether hand, he could not see how any practical inconve nience would result from granting this power to the Crown. It was said that two years would be an unne cessarily long time for disallowing colonial acts; but that, it appeared to him, would be an advantage. In the course ot that period, experience had shown that amend ments were often made in Acts hastily passed before they were submitted for her Majesty's assent. He thought the making superintendents elective was a mistake, these offices being a na l ag o us t o that of sheriffs in England, and therefore in some respects under the control of the Governor of the colony. They all knew that the foundation of the power of the Governor depended upon his privilege of suspending any ect or Appointment until it had received the sanction of the Crown. He came next to the constitution of the general legislature. By far the most defective part of our North American colonial legislatures was the elec tive councils.—(ilear.) At one time Legislative Coun cils were renewable at the pleasure of the Crown, but the act of 1791 made them elected for life. It was ab surd to call such councils a copy or imitation of our House of Lords; there was no similarity between the two legislatures. It was, however, at first intended by the act of 1791 to make those councils resemble the House of Lords by creating hereditary honours. It was not intended that they should be a small oligarchy, dependent on the will of the Crown; but circumstances at the time were too strong fur Mr. Pitt, and no heredi tary honours had been created. The Legislative Coun cils „had become a mere body of nominees. In fact, Legislative Councils were universally regarded in Canada as the great obstacle to good Government; and nothing so much tended to bring about that unhappy state of things which led to insurrection in Canada than these councils. The question then was, how had Legisla tive Councils worked? He was bound to say, according to his experience, they had not worked satisfactorily in North America. The reason why they had not worked satisfactorily was, because on many occasions those Councils had not had sufficient weight with the public, or as they ought to have possessed, in order to render them e properlyitv nteess useful; and the consequence of thethat had beers of making large additions to them, so that, to use the Noble Duke's expression, they had more than once been swempsd. The present Bill, in its ori ginal shape, would have worked injuriously in this par ticular respect; for if a mistake had been made at the onset in the nomination, it would have been competent for a few individuals to have obstructed or defeated any beneficial or useful Pleasure which the colonists and the Crown might have approved of and desired to pass into l a again to P ar li am e n t, an d the only way to meet such a state oefsthwionugladwhaasvebythgeinvibnegen necessary to have come to h discre tionary power s t o ma ke such additionst e Crown g to thobodiesse e s might lee considered requisite. He begged the Noble Earl, on account of the ireportence of the sub ject, to do him the favour to pay a little attention to his statements. The Earl of DERBY—I do assure the Noble Earl I am sorry to say I have heard every word ho has ad dressed to the House during the last hour and three quarters.—(Lau g h ter. ) Earl GREY—Then the Noble Earl has the enviable quality of listeni ng to a di scourse and of carrying on an interesting conversati on a t the same time, without losing a word of either conversation or discourse.—(Laughter.) The NoBLIE EARL resumed—lt was inconvenient to withdraw dr t a h w e , y re m sp ig e h et t ab ri l u o te men from the assemb l y in order considered it was better r th t e h y e sh L ou e mixed, as that wou ld not add to their weight a n d g td isla s t i i t ve s C in o g u ly nc t i h l. an H b e e authority. Ho w ou ld a d vert t o another important point—the appropriation of the land fund. He woul.l not repeat the Opinion he had more than once ex pressed, that it was the duty of Parliament to lay . down some rule as t o th e di s p os al of waste lands in some of ;our more important colonies. But no such rule had been laid down in Canada, Nova Scotia, and, latterly, in the West India colonies. The subject had been entirely legislated upon by the colonial legislatures—the colonial legislatures had passed Acts, nod had token the whole matter upon themselves. In the New Zealand Bill there appeared to be powers which permitted the local legislatures to legislate on the matter. He feared the system under the Bill would load to jobbing and abuse. It appeared to him that the power would be better if given to individual provinces than to the general legislature, because one settlement might desire to make regulations and prices which an other settlement might object to. By delegating the applicetion of the money derived from the sale of waste lands to the general legislature instead of to the local councils, he feared that much abuse would arise. Ho entirely concurred in the concluding observations of his Noble Friend behind him when he said, that this was a most important crisis in the affairs of our colonial empire, and that much would depend upon the course of legislation now pursued. He adopted phrase of his Noble Friend, that many of our colonies were " growing up to manhood," and that it was now necessary to carry out that scheme of policy which would have been proper even in an earlier stage of their social progress. But this policy ought to be carried out, not by separating from the old and established system hitherto pursued by this country—uone of the constitutional powers hitherto possessed by the Crown ought to be abandoned—but the Government ought carefully to exercise the existing powers. It was with some degree of pride that he found the North American colonies in their present position of prosperity. In 1846 they were in a different condition, and they had to surmount difficulties of no ordinary na ture before they attained their present state. Until 1846 not one of these colonies enjoyed the system of govern ment now established, and at present working successfully and harmoniously. In Canada we had seen the two races of men divided, and with no general agreement as to the form of government under which they were to live; and that great and distinguished man expressed his greatest doubt as to whether the system would work iu that colony. But in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward's Island, the systems of local govern ment had been carried into compl e t e an d sa ti s f ac tory operation. In Canada we had now the aspeet of a united people, French and Eeoslish acting harmoniously together, and regarding the mother country with affec tion and esteem. So healthy was the feeling, that the cry of annexation end the pressure of political discontent previously aoparent had entirely disappeared, and the colony was neeking, greater progress in population and wealth than any of the neighbouring states; and Mr. Tremenhere, in an interesting book recently published, took precisely this view of the subject. The Crown possessed all the legal power necessary for dealing with 00 colonies, and, as far as their welfare was concerned, it teas only necaesary that it should be exercised with t o arnent and discretion. J Lord LYTTELTON thought it desirable to separate eie Canterbury Association from the Canterbury Co iony,—(Fiear, hear) . The Canterbury Association ,eight have been involved in some difficulty, but us far as the colony was concerned he was prepared to in. the same space of time no other settle moe t badcontend, thatattained BO great a degree of prosperity.

EVENING/ JUNE 23, 1852, LAW INTELL tGENC (S I f-: i l fg r z iß a T t N O ts F i I Q) r t i b f e u t , u ' r e:l 4 - ca, d CAMPBELL and a Special Jury) THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION uP ACHILLI) v. INFORMATIoN. (Continued irom our Afternoon Edition or y este . d „ ) The next part of the case which was gone into was the connexion of Dr. Achilli with the college established at Malta by a committee of gentlemen in England, at the head of whom was Lord Shaftesbury. Dr. Achilli held the post of Italian theological tutor in that branch of the college which was devoted to the reception of priests seceded from the Roman Catholic Church. The Earl of Shaftesbury, Dr, Hadfield, President of the College, and Mr. Watts. clerical secretary to the committee, were examined relative to Dr. Achilli's conduct there, which, though not marked by any of the excesses which, according to the evidence, appear to have disgraced his residence in other places, was of a nature to cause his dismissal from the post which he there held While resident there it ap peared that charges were brought by an Armenian priest, named Kaosi, who afterwards absconded, involving Dr. Achilli and two Italian priests, Saccores and Le.mini, rela• tive to the introduction of women into the college. The committee determined to investigate the charge, but failed in so doing in consequence of Dr. Achilli having suddenly sent away Saccores on,a mission to Sicily. For this act, and for having absented himself for an entire month from the college without leave, the committee in London dismissed Dr. Achilli from his post. The next part of the case gone into was the offences alleged to have been committed by Dr. Achilli in England. The first witness called was Harriet Harris, a good-locking young woman of about 20 years:of age, examined by Sir A. COCKBURN, who said—That in 1850, she was engaged by Dr.Achilli as a d omes ti c servan t. He then lived at Shaftesbury-crescent, Pimlico. Mrs. Achilli was not then arrived. The first evening that I was there, Dr. Achilli came down stairs into the kitchen, and, taking hold of me, tried to put his arms round my waist and tried to kiss me. He also tried to put his hands in other places and to take improper liberties with me, but I would not let him. He tried to do it several times, but he did not succeed. He asked me, too, if I wanted a bedfellow. —(Laughter.) He never attempted to take liberties with me after Mrs. Achilli came back. Jane Legg, examined by Mr. BADDELEY—I was, in the beginning of last year, in the service of Dr. Achilli, at Shaftesbury-place, Pimlico. After I had been there three months, Dr. Achilli began to take liberties with me. I gave notice to leave, but he persuaded me to stay on. He had not done anything worse to me than kiss me then, but very soon after he came up to me one morning in my mis tress's bed-room, and had connexion with ma. He had connexion with me several times after, and in the end I be came in the family way and gave birth to a child on the sth of November last. There was a gentleman staying at Dr. Achilli'a then, named Augustini, who also took liberties with me and had connexion with me. My baby died soon after it was born. Dr. Achilli never gave me any linen for my confinement. I never asked him. I have seen Dr. Achilli since my baby died. I told him that I had been subpoenaed to come here ; he told mej had no oc casion to go, I must shut the door in the face of any one who came to fetch me. Cross-examinated by the SOLICITOR-GISERAL —Mrs. Achilli never found fault with me about my conduct with men; she objected to a young man who used to come to see me, whom she found one night behind the back kitchen-door. There was also another young man who used to come to see me. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL —HOW many men were you in the habit of seeing ? Witness—l am not obliged to answer that question. -Lord CAMPBELL—If you have no objection you had better answer it. Witness—Well, I had only two, the young man whom Mrs. Achilli found, and another one. Lord CAMPBELL—They came to court you 2 Witness—Yes, my Lord. Mrs. Achilli used to say she would not have any young man coming to see M 9 after dark. I cannot swear who was the father of my child. I do not know. Sir A. COCKBURN—Had any one else connexion with you besides Dr. Achilli and Auguatini? The witness remained silent and gave no answer to this question, which was not pressed. Sarah Logan—l am the wife of John Logan, an en gineer, who lives at 11, Shaftesbury-crescent, Pimlico. lam the sister of the last witness. She was delivered at my house. Dr. Achilli came to my house to take lodgings for two friends. Subsequently a clerk from Mr. Lewin's came to inquire about my sister. I sent to inform Dr. Achilli about it. He came to me one day, in the evening, and said that Mrs. Casteliini was em ployed by Dr. Nevvman's party—that Dr. Newman was a very bad man, and he hoped to have him sent to pri son. He said if the people came again I was to shut the door in their faces. I said it had been a great expense to us having to keep my sister, particularly as the baby had died in our house. He said " Yes, yes." He said nothing more, except that he would come again, and repeated that we were to shut the door in the faces of any persons who came to serve us with subpmaas. Two or three days afterwards he came again to us. We had then been subpoenaed. We showed him the subpoenas, and he said he thought they would not compel us to go. He said that he thought nay sister Jane had nothing to say against him. I said, "Of course, sir, you know what passed between you and Jane." He made no an swer. Nothing more was then said. Some days after he came again, about an anonymous letter which had been sent him about my sister. It said he ought to be ashamed to draw poor domestics into trouble, and not bear them through it; and that unless he sent 5/, to defray all expenses, he should further hear of it. I said that I did not know who had sent it. Dr. Achilli said that it mast have come from the same parties as the subpoenas. ' _ Cross-examined—Dr. Achilli talked to me in English on every occasion. I cannot tell from where my sister cams to my house. Dr. Achilli's friends remained in my house until after my sister was confined. I believe that it is owing to Mrs. Castellini that we were subpceaaed. I did not wish to come here to be mixed up in,the business, and therefore I said to my sister, on see ing her talking to Mrs. Castellini after we had received our subpoenas, " I had rather spit in her face than talk to her."—(Laughter.) I did not wish my sister to have anything to say to her. ' Re-examme d— This was after I had seen Dr. Achilli. Sarah Wood--I sea aged 19. lam now living with my parents at Windsor. I have lived in the service of Dr. Achilli. I entered his service in March of the year before last. I believe it was 1852.—(Laughter.) I came to his house from an establishment called the House of Mercy, at Windsor, presided over by Mrs. Tennent. When I left his house•l went to my parents. I have been with them now about five months. He took liberties with me after I had been with him about a fortnight. I went upstairs to clean out Augustini's bed-room; and while I was there, Achilli came in; he followed me several times round the room and tried to put his hands round my waist, bat he did not succeed, as I walked away from him. His proceedings were inter rupted by a knock at the door. He ran down stairs and commenced writing. I went down to see who it was, and found it was my mistress, who had re turned home for her parasol. After she went out again I went back to tho bed-room, and he followed and re newed his attempts. I walked away and began to cry, and threatened to write to Mrs. Tennent. He said if I did I should be a very naughty girl. Ho subsequently gave me a religious book, th e titl e o f w hi c h was ..Come to Jesus." About a fortnight afterwards, when Mrs. Achilli was out, he called me into his dressing room to dust the table. I knelt down for tho purpose of dusting the logs, and while I WAS doing this he bolted the door, and then taking me by the shoulders threw me with great force upon a bed. I resisted with all my might, but could not get away. He was intimate with me then against my will. I told him I would leave. I stayed five months afterwards, however. I loft because I was so ill that I could not stay any longer. My father then came to take me away. Cross-examined—The House of Mercy is a place for woman who have misconducted themselves. I was taken in there on the recommendation of Mrs. Tennent. I was in the house about nineteen months; I was eixteen when I went there. Mrs. Teneens recommended me to Mrs. Achilli. I am a Protestant. I fasted during part of Lent, while I was with Mrs. Tennent; but not while I was at Dr. Achilles. I had not a hymn book to the Virgin Mary. Some people say that the House of Mercy is a Roman Catholic establish ment; but I believe it is not. Mrs. Achilli told mo that Mrs. Tennent had been a Roman Catholic, but had left that religion. I told no one of the liberties which Dr. Achilli had taken with me until about four months ago, when one of Mr. Lewin's clerks came to me at Windsor. I did not then tell him aboat the worst part of the liberties. Three or four days afterwards, however, my father and mother questioned me about the matter, and I told my mother ail. They told me I should tell the truth, and I then got a woman to write to Mr. Lewin to tell him all that had passed between me and De. Achilli. Ro-examined---a had been seduced before I went to the House of Mercy. I went there in consequence of he ving quarrelled with my family. By the COURT —1 was away from my father's house about three days before I went to the House of Mercy. I had been seduced aboatsix months previously. I first went there without his knowledge. I had been to school, but I loft as I could nurse the baby. Qnly ono person had had anything to do with me before I went to this house. Catherine Freeman—l live at 6, Great Smith-street, Westminster. I once lived in service with Miss Lam bert. 3, St. James's-street. I lived with her feom 1843 to 1849. Dr. Achilli came to lodge there in 1847, before h e went to Melton. About six months after he came he attempted to take liberties with me, by putting his hands about my waist. He asked me to confess to him.— (Laughter.) I got away from him. On one occasion subs eque ntly he asked me to show him the name of a street on the map. As I went up to the table for tho purpose he pressed his body against me. I went away am a C ath olic, and directly. I mentioned these things to Lay confessor. Dr. Achilli while at Miss Lembert's wa s irregular in his habits, and used to come in late at night. Cross-examined —Miss Lambert was a dressmeker. I never told her of this conduct on the part of Dr. Achilli. I wa s first applied to about coming here by Mr. Simpson, of Clapham common. He is a Roman Catholic, living upo n his ownproperty. I have also seen Father Hut *woe. at the Oratory, about it. He came to me about a c .2 1 01E after Mr. Simpson. James V. liarting—l am a solicitor in Lincoln's-- ma-fields. I was employed in November or December l as t toseeo abroad to collect the evidence necessary in this went first to Rome, then to Viterbo, then ag a i n ctoaseltorne, then to Malta, then back to Naples; alter wards once more to Rome, and thence home. At Vi terbo I entered. into communication with the bishop an d hi s vicar-general, and with the priors of two convents. I communicated also with the police authorities at Vi terbo, and the apostolic delegate. The gonf e l on i ere o f Viterbo told me that he could net furnish me with any po li c e documents to be used in this care, because they h a d all been destroyed in the last revolution. I applied to the police authorities there for th e d ocuments i n their possession. I applied to the Minister for Eccle siastical Affairs, and I now produce an examined copy of a report from the Minister of Police to the Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs, with referen ce t o cases in which Achilli was concerned. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the reception of this decuaitut as evidence of the 21st plea (winch set forth that in an official document of the ineeropelit.,n police licltq was rep fl li reported fee de'h.red to be known - -A^ • - n • copied from a document is the archives o t the Ministry for nebitual incontinercy at Nenles) because it had heal of Esclesiasticel Afftirs, which was not authenticated as a report of the Minister of Police. After a short discassion, Lord CAMPBELL ~held that the document was not sefficientiy authenticated, and it was accordineny not received. Witness then continued—Afterwards went to Rome and A pplied at the Court of the Inquisition for a copy of , the judgment of that court effecting Dr. Achilii. I Vani r c:u for t e e F r u o t ra 2i n tt ed is copy un . uher teal of the_ judgment of the court tee notury of the court.

I was for some E Lime the b ea d College then at Rome. During my resides Rome nearly fifteen the English l ee there the !ce is acquaint matters with which I was charged led t ß o ornee. ance with the business of the courts of the court of the Holy Office or Inquisition. It s 1 kncw in the Vatican. I have seen documents purporting be under the seal of the court. I have applied i t n e g ti t , o e court for documents, and documents for which I p ea .. tinned have since been furnished to me. They had affixed to them a seal, purporting to be that of the court. They were similar to that affixed to the docu ment now produced, which I believe to be a document emanating from the court. Cross-examined—l have received documents from the Inquisition, but I do not know that I have seen this particular form of seal before. I have been told that the office of the Inquisition has been removed to the Vatican, where it was when I knew it, but I have no personal knowledge of the fact. The Court of the In quisition has the supreme jurisdiction over the Catholic clergy in matters ecclesiastical—that is with respect to the higher crimes. lam perfectly acquainted with the law with respect to these courts, having been frequently consulted by Cardinal Acton on points of law connected with the jurisdiction of these courts. The jurisdiction of the Court of Inquisition exists in different states by the consent of the Governments, who have to some extent dictated its proceedings. Its jurisdiction varies in different states. The Attorney and Solicitor General and Mr. Ellis then briefly contended that there was no sufficient proof that the document produced was an authentic copy of the judgment of the Inquisition. Lord CAMPBELL remarked, in the course of the argu ment, that this was the first time since the Reformation that the judgment of the Court of Inquisition had beers tendered in evidence in an English court of justice. His Lordship, then, after hearing defendant's counsel in reply, said:—The opinion of the Court can be asked as to whether this document can be received in evidence or not. lam clearly of opinion that it can. Looking at this document I find that it is a copy of the pro ceedings of the Court of Inquisition. Thank God that we have not in this country a tribunal of inqui sition,—(Applause.) But I am bound to believe there is iu every Roman Catholic country such a tribunal, and I that such a jurisdiction is exercised at Rome, but, thank God, it does not extend to this country.—(Ap plause.) This country will, however, be ready to receive documents °renaming from courts of justice in other countries; and I nue inclined to think that in receiving this document I am not in the slightest Jaeger of doing that which may prove injurious to the Pro. testant religion of this country. The document was then admitted, his Lordship remarking, while it was obVl'read —'I do not receive this as I s h ou ld a record. g a Court of Admiralty as conclusive evidence of the facts, but only as evidence in support of the defendant's allegation that there is such a judgment in the Court." The original document being in Latin, the following translation was read : "1, the undersigned notary of the Holy Roman and Universal Congregation of the Inquisition, do testify that, after a complete investigation of the proceedings instituted in the holy office against Father Hyacinth Achilli, priest, religious professor of the order of preachers, it is proved from the same acts that the said Achilli, having been examined by the established au thorities, confessed himself gu ii ty of having h e ld c arn a l intercourse whilst he was li v i ng in the monas t er y o f Viterbo with many women; also of having deflowered another who was a virgin in the city of Mount Faliscue, and of having carnally known two other women at Capita. Moreover, it is discovered that he made another girl at Naples a mother, and that the superior of the order of preachers paid fifty seudi to another woman who had been corrupted by the said Achilli, in order to make amends for tho injuries done. Lastly, I attest that on account of the crimes of the above-named, and other crimes of which mention is made in the acts after mature and deliberate examination of the heavy charges resulting from the acts, after having weighed the charges put forth and considered other matters according to custom, and after having mercifully accepted the confes sion of the accused himself and his own declaration of the following tenor:—'l do not ask to be chastised, nay, rather I desire to be severely dealt with on my own showing, according as justice demands. I will re ceive with resignation whatever punishment may bo de termined upon, and supposing there were wanting suf ficient reason for proceeding with greater rigour, I de sire that confession be considered sufficient grounds for punishing me as the said tribunal shall think best,' their Eminences the Inquisitors General on Wednesday, June 16, 1841, in the Convent of Santa Maria-super- Mienroam, decreed that the accused Father Hyacinth Achilli, after having been for ever suspended from the celebration of the sacrifice of the mass, and for ever dis abled from any sort of direction of souls, and preaching the Word of God, and deprived of active and passive voice in the government of his order, and after having had salutary penances imposed upon him, be condemned to remain for three years in some religious house of his order of the most strict observance. " Given in testimony of all these facts for the Chan cellor's office of the holy office, on this day, September 22, 1851." The defendant's counsel then tendered in evidence ft document purporting to be a copy of a petition presented by a man named Nicole Garamoni, to the civil tribunal at Corfu, in which he alleged as a defence to an action for alimony brought against him by his wife that she had been committed for adultery with Achilii. This document was tendered as proof of the 22d plea, but its authenticity having been objected to as insufficient, his Lordship rejected it. William Nicholi was then called, and said—l am a Dominican friar. Every one becoming a member of that order takes the three usual vows of poverty, obedience, and chastity. Every priest, whether of that order or not, carries under the obligation to chastity. Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN was then about to adduce evidence to show that if the , tefendant's charges against Dr. Achilii were true, their publication was fur the pub lic utility, when The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he would not trouble his Learned Friend to prove this, but would at once admit it. Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN stated that that was the case for the defendant, and the Court then (at a quarter past eight o'clock) adjourned to half - past nine o'clock to-morrow.

This case was also prosecuted by the Great Weetern Railway Company. Mr. D. Seymour appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton for the defence. The prisoner was apprehended at the Paddington station, on the evening of the 29th of May, by Linden, an officer employed by the company, for an attempt to pick pockets, which formed the subject of another indict ment against him. The moment he was taken he threw away a purse containing 11. 3s. 7d., which subsequently was discovered to be the property of a Miss Fry, who just before had arrived by the train from Berkshire. She had felt it safe a minute or two before arriving at the station, but immediately afterwards missed it. The prisoner was taken by Mr. Collard, the superintendent of the company's police, when he kicked and fought, and at last was overcome by as many persons as could sec layured, hold of hand and fogbound down on a stretcher, closely t. _ The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. It was shown that the prisoner had four times been apprehended during the years 1850 and 1851 at Glou. CeSter for offences of thi s c h aracter, and had been twice convicted. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said he supposed that, f in di ng that place too h o t t o h o ld hi m , h e had come up to town to carry out the same practice.

THE EGYPTIAN RAILWAY.—The Assernblefe Na tionale states, in addition to the efficial details lately brought of the treaty concluded by Fuad Efferuii with the Viceroy of Egypt, that in what concerns the Suez Railway tne Porte has expressly stipulated that this work should be executed only with the pecuniary re sources of Egypt. Recourse to Eaglish capital is pro hibited, because it might lead to the alienation of a part of the territory, which would be contrary to a funda mental law of the Ottoman empire. The railway is also to be served by Egyptians. The execution of the works alone is to be confided to an Egyptian engineer. Fuad Effendi has been raised to the rank of Mushir, or Mar shal of the Empire. He is daily expected to arrive at Constantinople. EASTERN UNION AND EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAYS. —The Legislature having removed the only obstacle to the construction of the Harwich line, we hope the di rectors of these companies will forthwith prosecute the works with vigour. The Datch Government having granted the concession for a line of telegraphic commu nication from the Hague to Harwich indicates that it is alive to the importance of this route, which, in a national point of view, cannot be over estimated, as at present our only means of rapid communication with the conti nent of Europe is vid France. We hope also that the Harwich branch may have the effect of bringing thes e two companies into closer connexion; it will no doubt be a great feeder to the traffic of both, as by its unrivalled harbour it possesses advantages superior to any port from Southampton to the Humber. The distance between the south-eastern route and the eastern comities being about the same, a considerable portion of the Ostend traffic must pas over the new line. If the remainder of the dispute is only a question of what the two lines are relatively worth, could not some mutual friend deter mine the facts submitted to him for arbitration?—Rail way Times.
