A gentleman, signing hi mse lf " C ox, " e ndeavoured to complete yesterday the enterprise commenced on Saturday by another gentl eman s i gn i ng hitusell " Canterbury." That enterprise is nothing less than the closing of the Crystal Palace to the public on Sundays, so soon as it shall have baen removed to its permanent site at Sydenhace. Against any such barbaro'ne proceeding we have already protested— and again and again we shall continue to protest as often as it shall be revived by the blunder ing pi!.y of the Sabbatariens. We look upon the Sunday as consecrated to adoration. We recognise the authority of that venerable commandment. We do more, we appreciate its Leneficence. We regard it as a dispensation so peculiarly entitled to reverence, apart from the awful manner of its inculcation through the thunder of Sinai, and considered, if that be possible, solely in reference to its humane in fluence upon the Population—that we believe it would have been wise, humanly speaking, if not ab solutely necessary t o secure p...riodical days of rest by a statute, supposing the mandate bad not been in scribed by lightning on the tables of the Hebrew lawgiver. We conceive that that day of repose should be viewed by every member o f the community throughout Christendom with emotion s o f affeciion, gratitud e . as well as w ith sentiments of It is true that the first has been substituted for the Sev enth day in every week, in obedience to a venerable tradition of the Church—but, altered though the time i s, the princi is, to this moment, identical.with the one which Following up the course adventured upon by the deputation introduced on Saturday last to the PRIME MINISTER by his Grace the Archbishop of CANTER-. BURY—a certain Mr. Cox took occasion yesterday to propose that the Crystal Palace should not be opened to the public on the Lord's Day, and, in addi tion to this, that no trains should run on those days to Sydenham. The suggestion of Mr. Cox was made in the course of a special general meeting of the shareholders of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. That meeting was convened for the purpose of formally announcing the approval of the arrangements entered into by the directors with the Crystal Palace Company. It is gratifying to observe from the statement made by the Chairman (Mr. S. LAING) that already—out of 2,342 proprietors, representing 3,242,7511. of stock -1,763► representing 2,427,9701. had, by letter, ap proved of the arrangements, while merely 579, repre senting no more than 814,7811., had been numbered up as dissentients. Everything promises admirably there fore as to the future prosperity of the undertaking. According to the plans about to be carried into effect the Crystal Palace will, in another year, have been not only removed from Hyde-park to Sydenham, but have been very considerably increased in its di mensions and in its general magnificence. Erected upon an eminence nearly 300 feet above the level of the sea, it will, when completed, be visible from almost every height either in or near the metropolis. The entire length of the nave is to be arched like the transept, while the transept itself is to be almost double its present altitude. The building will com prise courts representing the manners and customs of different countries. It will contain an Indian bazaar with a durbar adjoining. It will have a quadrangle to illustrate China, a representation of a Pompeian house fully restored, a fac simile of a palace at Nineveh, and— thanks to the artistic abilities of OWEN JoNEs—a reproduction of one of the courts of the Alhambra. Fountains will be interspersed among the statues in the building, and among the flower-beds and shrub- beries outside, one of the exterior fountains playing to the enormous height of 150 feet, namely, twenty feet higher than the NELSON Testimonial. From the pleasure of enjoying the innocent recrea tion of a visit on Sundays to this scene, where Art and Nature would combine to create a spectacle like that of enchantment, Mr. Cox yes terday endeavoured to shut out, by antici pation, the labouring classes of the metropolis-- those honest and hard-worked artizans who are unable to enjoy the fresh air of the country upon week-days because of the unavoidable pressure of their avocations. For the credit of the humanity of the shareholders, be it said, that the bigotted amendment thus proposed by Mr. Cox could fled no seconder, and thereupon, consequently, dropped to the ground. We are gratified to learn, moreover, in reference to a similar feeling elsewhere, that the LORD Mayon cf London declined to be one of the Sabbatarian deputation of Saturday, headed by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. The circum stance is worth recording as indicative of the liberality of feeling worthy of the chief magistrate of the City, and interesting as affording testimony of his sympathy for the industrious part of the population. Let all sensible and liberal men act with similar resolution, and we shall then hear somewhat less frequently of these unfortunate Sabbatarians. It is with exceeding pleasure that we draw the at tention of our readers to the steps adopted by the City authorities last evening towards the suppression of those dens of iniquity, the betting-houses. At the commencement of the legislative business in each Chamber petitions were presented, in the House of Peers by Lord REDESDALE, from the city of London, praying for the suppression of betting-offices, and in the Commons, the City Sheriffs appeared in person at the Bar, and presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, praying for the interference of the House to suppress them. We confidently trust that the blow thus struck will be vigorously followed up, fur the evil has become one of sueh monstrous magnitude as to demand the peremptory interference of the authorities on the score of public morality. True it is that after the last Derby several of the worthy public bookmakers made a summary smash, to the consternation of their dupes, whom it is im polsible to regard with the sli g ht es t d egree o f frqatley or commiseration. Th e k naves very el tously took in the fools, but as has been said of old, though hi s o „ you bray a fool in a mortar, yet will not scotched depart from biro, and as the snake is only anot killed, those public temptations to and vicious folly must be thoroughly suppre sted. terroialvehr:lbbilyanckgueetirSomearaiitrnilnygent enactments are incon ments, wh ieh ar"rY against those betting establish nbgapd9,raggetoarliancrthettukhr:ei.pt by fraudulent bank rupts, en 1 the turf and "legs" who th Their existence is a fl Clerksall quarters ters messengers . s.b . t e direct snt fighting-men, show e ta r with t I ° n h : ei n ina 5 y 8a I 11 3- b . 1 . pr any dishonest inten at fir --nOt yvo e t at trwyg worthlessns certain tuff er f o f being 0 -, but i et, t a i t ofo th ,re e p s .el e or 0 th e ortPx.

As t o the ulterior steps to he adopted in furtherance (Jr th e effectual suppression of a nuisance th e most noisome that has ever infected London, some satis factor y an nouncement ought to be forthwith elicited • • in power. A writer, positive from those who lately asserted from p knowledge that he was within the mark in stating that above 300,0001. a year is lost by individuals otherwise respectable, and goes into the p oc k e t s of the black-leg fraternity of the proprietors of the metropolitan betting-offices, says of them, that by one of those wonderful inconsistencies of our legal code, they appear to be not only not illegal, but to a certain extent to be supported by law, and this from the circumstance of a bet not exceeding 101. being a perfectly legal contract, and recoverable at law. " Anything more monstrously absurd than making a ten pound bet legal, and a hundred pound one illegal, we cannot well conceive. We would rather even see it reversed, for the heavy bets are ordinarily made by persons of large means, who, if they cannot well afford to lose the money, are at all events not reduced to beggary by the loss. The small bets, on the other hand, are risked by servants, mechanics, artisans, clerks, and petty tradesmen, and are the source of more want, dishonesty, and crime among such people than can be imagined." But it is worth while considering whether, in default of any active authoritative steps, there may not be a method of accomplishing the desired end by means of an already existing power. For some time since Mr. HEWIT OLIPHANT, the learned author of a book on " The Law of Horses, Racing, Wages, and Gaming," gave publicity to his view of the law on the subject in the columns of a morning contemporary. "It is quite clear," says he, " that any practice which has a tendency to injure the public morals is a common law offence. It is equally clear that the keeping of a common betting-house has such a tendency. Those places being great temptations to idleness, and being likely to draw together great numbers of disorderly persons are, therefore, nuisances at common law. And where it is found that persons have not only hazarded more than they can properly afford to lose, but have also embezzled the property of their employers, such persons would be idle and disorderly ; and a betting-house frequented by such persons, a,nd so pro moting such conduct, would appear to be a disor derly house—a nuisance at common law, and indictable by any two inhabitants of the parish, under the' provi sions of 25 Geo. 11., cap. 36." Surely our parishes are not destitute of a couple of worthy citizens each to test the correctness of the views here enunciated, even if they have to undertake the case on their individual responsibility. We should rejoice to see the attempt made against some of the ragamuffins who, only that, happily for themselves, Lynch law is a thing unknown among us, richly deserve to be laid hold of, and figure in tar and feathers in front of their own " offices." Whoever lends a helping hand to the annihilation of the vermin has our unfeigned good wishes, and if there be not a very speedy extirpation of those mushroom gamblingebousee, their swindling proprietors will find themselves some fine day held up to public infamy in such unmistakable and special terms as will tho roughly spoil their game for the future, and compel them to have recourse to some other project for steer ing clear of their proper destination—the hulks. LATEST FROM PARIS. (From the Times) The proceedings of the Corps Legislatif were inter rupted yesterday (Tuesday) by a communication from the Minister of State, informing M. Billault that the President of the Republic considered the course pursued by the Committee on the Budget, in rejecting certain articles of the Budget, unconsti tutional. The Committee, however, persisted in its con. elusion, and the Assembly adjourned in the greatest confusion. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. Bills of Exchange were negotiated y ester d ay a t ra th er lower rates, 90 days' paper being taken at 25 50 to 55 on Paris, 12 14 to li on Amsterdam, 13 10 to 10i on Hamburgh, 1211 to * on Frankfort, and 11 54 to 58 on Ti ieste, The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and 2,000 on specula tion. The market closed steadily. The sales included 100 Egyptian at 51d. to 6id., and 300 Surat at 3id. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm at higher prices. An account of the quantity of Grain imported into Ireland from Great Britain makes the total last year 421,894 quarters, of which 369,650 quarters were of foreign growth. Of Meal and Flour 466,451 cwt. were imported, 351,244 quarters being foreign. The advicea from the continental Stock markets no tice continncd buoyancy in the quotations. The Arctic steamer brings 450,000 dollars in gold. The abundant supply of gold is strikingly in contrast with silver, of which there is an absolute scarcity, owing to the demand for India and the amount required to make up the instalments on the Austrian loan. The next mail from Mexico will bring a very large sum in silver, as the Indemnity instalment consigned to Messrs. Baring is likely to reach.

Tug L EGION OF H ONOUR. —lt appears by a recent re turn that th e Legion of H onour consists of 42,801 members, namely, 7 0 grand crosses, 207 grand officers 986 commanders 4 ,601 oZcers, and 36,937 chevaliers. , , THE SUN, centuries ago was maintained by the wearers of the ephod among the descendants of the Chaldean Aline- HAM. Thus it is that we regard with feelings of un affected admiration the grandeur and benevolence of the institution, which we should be loath to see either derided by infidelity or profaned by fanaticism. Hap pily there is little danger incurred at any mo ment in reference to the former casualty. But unhappily t h e re is only too frequent cause to regret the recurrence of the latter—namely, the attempted profanation of the glorious institution of the periodical day of rest by those fanatics wh o wou ld f a in render Religion a curse instead of a blessing—a positive nuisance instead of a .benign consolation. The Sabbatarians are perpe tually crying out against the not ion of profaning the Sunday—while they themselves are the very people who are doing their uttermost to secure the certainty of its profanation. They endeavour to put a stop to railway travelling. They try to close every place of innocent recreation. They would restrict the move ments of the hard-working cla sses t o t h e squalid localities surrounding their city homes—herding them into the close atmosphere of the conventicle (in the majority of instances a room b u ilt over a charnel house) —confining their occupations on the Sunday to the the reading of sermons, and singing of psalms, the general suppression of anything at all approach ing to merriment. It was not in this spirit that the Sabbath was originally instituted. It was not thus that Dejection was chosen to be another name for the genius of Christianity. Religion, we persist, can only be polluted by its degradation to these sordid and narrow regulations. The worship of the Divinity is not dependent upon the rolling of a wheel, or the snorting of a steam-engine. Better, surely, to enable the artizan and his family to adore GOD after the dictates of their own hearts, and then to breathe the fresh air and rove among the green fields, than, by shutting them up in the work-a-day streets where, their life wears away in a ceaseless round of drudgery, to drive them to the skittle-ground and the beer-shop in very disgust at the mercilessness of these cruel and fanatical regulations ! It is precisely because the Sabbatarians do not regard the matter in this light— because they want to debar the toiling multitude from the enjoyment of the most sinless recreations— that we consider them to be the real desecrators of religion, and the very men who are striving to insure the profanation of one among the most benign and beautiful of its institutions.

I did not pets my country month in 1831 ie the famey of Gentiiii, but I cussed it with another family. It was my custom in October to tease my time in the country with friends or relations. I passed my country month in 1831 with two or three of my friend:;, but certainly no in the house of Gentilli. In neither of the houses I visited was there a servant girl with whom I walked out. I never went with a servant girl to see two Gentillis shooting. [The witness Eleanor Valenti, who swore that ho hod connexion with her at the Gentilli's country house, was here brought forward.] Did you ever see that woman before?—Never. Did you ever have intercourse with that woman? —Never (indignantly). I never had connexion with that woman in any place in the world. I never saw her or any other woman in the sacristy of the church of Gradi, at Viterbo, nor had connexion with her. The family of Maccarini at Viterbo, are my relations. I never had connexion with the woman Valenti at their house. I never gave her or any other woman a pocket handkerchief and three sausages, as a return or reward for any improper intercourse. Of sausages I had none to give, but I might have given a handkerchief to some poor woman. I know a nun, Rosa di Alesandris, a rela tion of mine, in the monastery of St. Bernardo, at Vi terbo. I was never found guilty of seducing and de bauching, and carnally knowing her. She is older than I am; with her I could not have committed any sin, be cause she is shut in a nunnery. I never had connexion with her in the sacristy of the church of Gradi, or any where else. I never gave any money to her father as hush money. I think I was a child of five or six years old when her father died. Ido not know any other Rosa di Alesandria. In July, 1834, I did not debauch, seduce, and carnally know a young unmarried woman, of 24, whose name is unknown to the prosecution. In 1835, while resident at Viterbo, I did not debauch and seduce, and rob of her honour Vicuna Guerra. I did not know a person of that name, and besides I was not at Viterbo in 1835. When I was in Capus, in 1835, 1 resided in the house of the Cardinal Archbishop, and was occupied morning and evening in preaching Lent sermons. I was during the whole of my stay there under theeyes of the Archbishop. I did not while at Capin have intercourse with a chaste and unmarried woman. (The witness Principe Balisano was then shown to Dr. Achilli.) I never saw that woman in the whole course of ray life. In 1840 I was at Naples. I had at that time availed myself of my letter of secularia ation, and was living as a simple priest. I never saw her in the sacristy of the church at Naples. This is the first time I have seen her. I know the paper proda6ed (receipt tor payment of money to the image). It contains my writ ing. . This was an institution for an image in St. Peter the Martyr to collect money. I did not receive the money; there was a person specially appointed for that purpose. Persons came to me to write down their names, but they were not allowed to enter the sacristy—they stopped at the door. I do not recollect being stopped in a precession by Principe or her mother. I was never before the police respecting a charge by the Principes. I had a friend, the Duke of Larina; he is no relation of mine. I left the Dominican order because the brethren began to make war, and they spread charges against me. I made no account of this, as was my custom, but my friends, irritated at such proceedings, tried in every way to subvert and de stroy such charges. I had communication with the bake of Larina and all my friends. I was never before the police with the Duke of Larina or any of my friends. At Corfu I knew a tailor of the name of Gar ramoni. His wife lived with her mother, next door to m e. There were two houses. I never committed adul tery with Garramoni's wife. I remember on one night a fact that happened in regard to Garrameni. One evening I was passing before the house of the wife of Garramoni, she was at the door and called me. She asked me to answer and correspond to certain questions. She began and asked these questions, when we were surprised by her husband. The questions were begun but were not finished. I believe she meant to ask me if I had heard any noise in her house on an antecedent night, and I believe that she alluded to certain screams or crys that, do facto, I had heard. When Garramoni came up he began to inveigh very furiously against his wife. I was standing at the door of the house, and it appeared to me that he pushed ma inside his house. I made a s tep within the door. I reproved Garramoni for his conduct to his wife. I made way with my hands and got out. That was th e on l y occas i on on which I was within the house of Garramoni's wire's mother. I do not think I ever saw his wife at any other place. Some days after I heard that Garramoni spoke against me through the city. I went to Mr. Fraser, the secretary of the Lord High Commissioner, and complained of Gar ramoni. I have no knowlege f any proceedings being taken in the matter in the courts. I had two persons in my service—Carraboni and his wife--ail the time I remained at Corfu, and at Zante they were in my service; they followed me two or three weeks after I arrived at Zante. I did duty et a chapel at Zante. I knew Mr. Reynolds at Zante; he was one of my congregation. His house did not look into mine, but mine into his. My house was higher than his, and in order that a person in Mr. Reynolds's house could see what was going on in the upper room of my house it was necessary to place himself outside the window.— (A laugh .) I never committed:any indecency with Garra moni's wife. I recollect Mr. Reynolds, after an event which happened between us, did speak to me relative to the persons in my service. I had in friendship, and charitably, given some slight reproof to Mr. Reynolds because he was in the habit of drinking too much in the evening and being drunk. The first time he received the reproof with resignation; the second time he was a little displeased; afterwards he absented himself from , the congregation. I went to pay him a visit of reconci liation; he assumed altogether a serious tone, and began to reprove me about my servants. He said that they had been, before coming to me, persons not of good morals. I answered I should be satisfied if they behaved well while in my house. I begged him to tell me if he had to say anything against them at that time. I re member that he himself spoke in eulogy of thorn, only he would have wished that I should send them away according to his will. Before that time he had said nothing about sending them away. Carraboni lived in my house as well as his wile. They had a child. The wife never slept with me, nor dined with me. Mr. Reynolds never came to my house. I never said that the two covers laid on the table were for poor Albina, the wife, who was going to dine with me. I never walked arm in arm with her in the street. I never went with her to hear the band play. I never went to hear it even by myself. The congre gation increased very much after Mr. Reynolds left it. I continued to perform duties in the chapel six or seven months after he left the congregation, and until the last moment I remained in Zante. The congregation in creased up to the last moment. (The mother of the witness Principe was hero brought forward.) Ido not know that woman at all. Carraboni and his wife did not continue in my service after I left Zante. While I was professor at the College of Malta, two priests, named Zaccharis and Leonine, who had been converted to tLe Protestant faith, were accused of some offences. The accusation was made by an Armenian priest, who, in my judgment, was not deserving of belief. I was instructed by the committee in London to inquire into the charges. I had advised the secretary not to institute proceedings against the accused persons, because I knew very well the character of the accuser, and that no credit should be given to the accusation. I investigated the matter on my return to Malta, and the result was that no credit was given to the allegations. I sent Zaccharis on a mission. Before he went I com municated to Mr. Hatfield, the principal, that he was going to Sicily on a mission. I did not send him away for the purpose of stifling the charges against him. Whatever were the charges against these two persons, I fancy I was not implicated in them, as I was in London at the time they were made, and they were at Malts. Were you dismissed by the College of Malta for the offences of sin, fornication, and immorality ?—No, I think not. Did you ever preach against the laws of chastity and morality 7—No, never. Do you believe in the truths of Christianity ?—Yes. Have you ever been an infidel P—l think or believe not. There was no time in which I did not believe in the truths of Christianity. There was never a time in which I did not believe in the divine mission of our Saviour. After I got out of the prisons of St. Angelo I came to this country with my wife. I do not know a person of the name of Catherine Gorman. In London I lived at No. 3, St. James's -street, at the house of a Miss Lambert. I never took any liberties with the ser vant of Miss Lambert. When I first came to London I lived in Northumberland-street, and, subsequently, at Shaftesbury -terrace. I had a servent,C named Harriet Harris. I never conducted myself indecently to wards that person, or attempted to seduce her. I had a servant named Jane Legg. She followed the other servant, and remained with me six months. I never behaved indecently to her or tried to seduce her. I remember Sarah, who came frome the House of Mercy, at Windsor, to take Jane's place. I never had criminal intercourse with her, or attempted it in any way, I was in the prisons of the In qu i s iti on on two occasions. There were some proceedings against me, on the first, oc casion, in the holy office of the Inquisition. I was questioned by the Inquisition every day. The charges made against Die were with regard to my teaching in the school, in the pulpit, and in the confessional. There was no charge bronght against me re specting my moral conduct. The Inquisition is not a competent tribunal to deal with these crimes. Tho Inquisition never personally and to my face charged me with immorality. Ido not know of any charge of immorality being preferred against me to the Inquisition. I never made a confession to the Inquisition of having had carnal intercourse with various judgment of women in Viterbo and elsewhere. I see the of the Inquisition now produced. but I know of were ceedings in which any of the charges it tn c e o n n L,. brought under my notice. I never made a erh :e „, a t the guilt and threw myself on their mercy; P __, g l ' t h have commencement of the proceedings _tn o y asked if I was willing to throw mysel an _ d then in thtt i t i heavt e Ithmaitgthhte bfierscthpaasdrtitisp.evogieldrii:acteovuerrt and I might have answered T biteedtaikt,enanadgatiiinasttlreeif3-osistion would case the Chancellor of the orders or dispositions to their mere'i' I f h the naturally . s mere sion b y : have Written that I did so aPP , -- 1 may be admit,m; r CUL. mightn ces s aermy:a,nl:ll:nt but f, d tryho:Taich Li:fuhlounidr-4r sug gested severe procee t I should receiv e • th 'l. c annot admit the re gist inflict resignation; u id be deemed cent I would submit uaal confession sheet the Court rio any P unishi ca ' n that occasion no such charges as those far upon we t„, w omen and fornication deflG vv , er o ceedirrs had tsti- were brought against /he pr +el reference to m teach “ There wa3 no eentenne or judzatent delivered,only g a decree of the Con uteri; of the holy office, ordered by the Pope, to set me at liberty.

THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF ACHILLI) v. NEWMAN. The intense interest which this case has excited during the last two days had increased rather than abated thi s morning. The galleries and the body of the court were crammed in every part, and crowds remained outside, who we unable to obtain admittance. Dr. Achilli was called and examined by Sir F. Tux - SIGER. In reply , to a preliminary question, he said h e would prefer giving his evidence in his own language. He then said—l am forty-nine years of age. I was born in Viterbo. I was educated in the Roman Catholic faith in the College of the Jesuits. I entered the Dominican convent at Quercia as a novice; that was in the year 1819. I was then sixteen years old. I re mained in that convent a little more than one year. I then became a monk of the Dominican order. In 1821 I went to Lucca, to pursue my studies there. After that I entered into priest's orders. I was then under the canonical age. I obtained my orders by a dispensation from the Pope. That was at the solicitation of the Duke of Lucca. In the same year that I obtained my orders I went to the College of Minerva at Rome, to pursue my studies there. In the early part of 1827 I was sent for to preach the Lent sermons at Capronica, in the province of Viterbo. I was appointed by the Bishop to preach those sermons. I have yet the patent of my appointment. In Septem ber, 1827, I receivad an appointment as lector philoso phise at the seminary of the Bishop. of Viterbo. I commenced my duties under this appointment in No vember in the same year. I rema ined discharging these duties at Viterbo until 1833 inclusive. On the 6th Oc tober, 1832, I was appointed by the master of the sacred palace at Viterbo to be his vicar. among other things, I was made not only censor of the press, but presid en t of the censorship. I have yet m y appointment as vicar an bo d t g h iv s e ex a e b: s of the sacred palace. In 1833 I obtained from C ardinal Belzi unlimited authority to confess in the diocese of the Bishop of Monte Fiasco perseena9coef That gave me authority to impose Pen solution. In the same year I was appointed by the ge neral of the Dominican order prefect of studies and the head professor of studies at the College o f Mi nerva at Rome. I have not that appointment In 1843 I left Viterbo with the provincial order o n a vi sitation tour of the Dominican churches in Tus cany. In November, 1834, I returned to Viterbo, when that visitation tour was ended.. I stayed at Viterbo in my own convent with the provincial. I remained on this occasion only a few days at Viterbo. T I was appointed visitor at another pla ce. I was appointed the confessor of the Governor of Viterbo, when I went there in 1827. The whole of the time up to 1833 I acted as conf e ss o r to the governor. T he g eneral authority of the bishop to confess in Viterbo is renewed from year to year, and my appointment was renewed annually up to 1833. The other place to which I was appointed visitor was the convent of Napi, in .the diocese of Napi. I was en gaged in that visitation some weeks. I then went to Rome. I arrived in Rome in . the month of D ecem b er , 1834. On the Ist April, 1835, I had two p a t ents to preach the Lent sermons. I have got them in my pos session. One is from the Cardinal Serra, Archbishop of Capua. I was to preach the sermons at his cathedral at Calms. The other patent was from the same Cardinal to preach Lent sermons et St. Maria de Capes, a colle giate church. I received authority to confess persons of both sexes in the diocese of Capua. It was an appoint ment during pleasure. I held it all the time I was at Capua. In the year 1835 I obtained letters of secu lam Won from the Pope. I now produce those letters. I did not avail myself of them immediately, because I was ordered by the Cardinal Acton to remain a little longer in my vocation until I was better triad. After I obtained the letters of secularization I went to Naples, and remained In the Dominican convent there for four years. During that time I was a month at Rome. Treat was in June, 1838. I was appointed at Rome confessor to the Princess of Saxony, Louisa de Bourbon. In the month of August, 1837, I had a patent instituting me as prior of the convent of Santiago at Naples. I had previously been sub-prior. There is a clause in the document absolving me from all excom munication. That clause is contained in all patents con ferring jurisdiction. In September, 1837, I was appointed by the Prior Provincial his commissary in a cause to be tried in the convent of Del Atro near Naples. In 1839 I completed my secularization and remained at Naples as a secular priest for two years. I then went to Rome, that was in the year 1841. In the spring of 1842 I was imprisoned in the Inquisition. I remained at that time about three months. When I was released from the prison I went to pass the summer in the country near to Rome. I afterwards went to Ancona, and from thence I proceeded to Corfu. I met Biochiani in Anoona; he told me he was going to the lonian Islands. I told him I was going the same way, but I had not a passport, and ho added I might avail myself of his, because he had a pesspost for five people and there were only four, so I took no name, but I was number five. I re mained at Corfu about a year and a half. I went from there to Zante, where I remained also about a year and a half. I left about July, 1846, and went to Malta. I then came to Eng land. I came to England in May, 1847. I was the ap pointed professor of the college at Malta. I went and discharged the duties of professor. In June, 1848, I returned to England, where I remained till January, 1849. At Rome I was married—that marriage took place on the 24th of Juno, 1849. I married a Miss Healey, an English lady, who had been educated in Italy. Shortly afterwards I was again put in prison by the Inquisitio. I remained there six months. I was confined in the prison of St. Angelo. I was let out of prison under the pretext of being a witness in n political cause. The French authorities interfered in toy favour. After I left Rome on that occasion I came to England, where I have remained ever since. I have noted as minister of the Italian Potestant chapel near Golden square until two weeks ago. I was not deprived as early as 1826, or at any time, of my faculty to lecture for any offence. I did not, in February, 1831, or at any other time, know a person of the name of Eleanor Valenti. While at Viterbo I did not rob any young woman of her honour at all. I knew a family of the name of G en- There are two families of that name at Viterbo, two brothers, each with a family. In 1831 I did not know a Signora Gentilli. The only female of the Irmo 15 1 Gentilli was the wife of Count Julia Gentilli. Notion ti , m 2 I should ebstai n f r om the exer c i se o f my miniy• given, his r""noiliAien, according to the instruedure c:eesisted in this—thet I should write end pabiish some book io favour of the Roman Catholic Church. I must c . orrect, an observ a ti on w hi c h I ma d e , not haviegsuf fLY:mtlY reflected. My incarceration at the Inquiertion i took pl,ce n 1841, and after being set at liberty I rC" maned a certain time in Rome, and afterwards I went* as I said, into the country in the neighbourhood of Borne T1,0 , e were all the conditions on which I was released from the Inquisition on the first occssien. 0.056.01,(5tRieed by Sir A. COCKBURN—I became a monk of the order of St. Dominic, in 1820, and took the vows. The Dominicans profess only a single vow, thus :—" I, Achilli, promise obedience to God, to tho blessed Virgin, to the patriarch St. Dominic, end to you Most Rev. Father-Geueral of the Order until death. There is nothiog else in the vow. I mean to state on my oath I believe a aiminican monk does not take the vow of poverty and ceiihecy. I swear en my oath I did not take these vows. If it is not their interest to take those vows, Dominican monks do net take them. They were not a necessary condition to be admitted into the Order of St. Dominic. The vow of obedience is only necessary. In the year 1 8 24 I became a priest. Chastity is part of the obligation of a priest. I swear that during the time I was at Vi terbo, from 1819 to 1832, I bad no i n t er course with any woman following the imputatioes that have been made against me.—(Laughter.) I could answer "no" to the question whether I have had s exu a l intercourse with other women than those mentioned while at Viterbo. Sir A. COCKBURN—That is not the question. Witness—l could answer, but I avail myself of the privilege given by the Judge not to answer. Sir A. COCKBURN said the privilege of not answering could only be allowed in a criminal court. Lord CAMPBELL said he could not compel the witness to answer the question. Witness—l never had intercourse with any woman in the sacristy of the church a,, Viterbo, nor in any room contiguous to it. In 1826 I went to La Quaercha of my own accord ; I was not sent ; I did not go there by way of penance. Every officiating priest in Italy has not a general power to confess like I had. In 1826, Spaletti, a priest, might have made accusations against me; I heard that these accusations were in circulation, but I did not go on a tour of visitation with Broscente to avoid them. There was not one single word against me when I left Viterbo. In 1834 there was not a charge against me of violating the person of a young woman in Cardinal Be lzes house. There might have been, but I cannot now recollect. lam not indifferent to charges of that kind, but thousands of the same nature have been made against me. When in the prison of the Lquisition I was accused of murdering a nun, and the matter was brought under the notice of the French Government. To obtain. letters of seclurezition, I must have a patrimony. The letters mention vows in the plural, but I still per sist in saying I only took one vow as a Dominican monk. I obtained the patrimony from my uncle shortly after the letters of secularization were granted. In 1831 I did stay for a portion of the month of October at the house of a lady named Gantilli, the widow of one Christoche; the house is in the country near Rome. The servant in the house was not the woman Valenti, I don't recollect ever seeing her face before. I have gone out shooting while there, with Spaletti, the vicar of the bishop. Sir A. COCKBURN—Oh! that is the amusement of monks.—(Laughter.) Lord CAMPBELL said that formerly English bishops and the clergy kept fox hounds. Sir A. CCCKBURN—But there is a great difference between secular clergy and monks. Witness—l never took out any servant girl to show her some shooting sports while I was at Signora Gen tiles house. • You have plenty of funds to carry on these proceed ings?—l hope Providence will furnish me with funds. From whom do you get funds?—l get them by the providence of God. That is not my question?—l obtain them by the Pro vidence of God through some friends. Lord CABIPZELL-1" do not see any necessity for in quiiing into that point. Sir A. COCKBURN—I only want to show funds are not wantieg. Lord CAMPBELL —I think there are no funds wanting on either sid..—(Laughter.) I think, Dr. Achini, you have said the monks at Viterbo are very wicked people?—i do not come here to cry out against them. But you have cried out against them—have you not? —When time and circumstances allowed it. You said, I think, they were a sinful and profligate people?—l did not say that of the monks of Viterbo. Are they a good and virtuous people?—Some are good and some bad. Were some loose in their conversation with women; and were all possible means taken to hush up their con duct?—According to the law, it was the duty of the principals to proceed against them, and I myself have been charged to conduct inquiries respecting some. Were you ever charged with sach an offence?—As long ca I remained with the Dominicans I was their idol.—(Laughter.) Atter leaving Viterbo I went to Naples, having previously spent Lent at Calms. While you were at Capua had you intercourse with any woman whatever ?—I might say " no;" but I ap peal to the privilege given me by the Judge not to answer the question.—(Sensation.) I was never charged with having intercourse with the daughter of the cham berlain of the Bishop of Capua. Do you think, now you are a Protestant, that, a charge of unchastity is a serious ene to be made against a Roman Catholic priest 2—l believe it is a real crime among all Christians. I do not think it makes much difference between a clergyman and a layman in this respsct. (The witness was under examination when our report left.) SECONDAMES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) HOPPER V. X URNETT.--WRITING LETTERS TO THE JUDGE.. The plaintiff in this action is a ship broker in the , City, and the defend an t carr i es on the same business at Sunderland, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 21. for money lent. Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The Learned SECONDARY said that in this case som® person had sent him a letter; he had not read it, but it was highly improper of any one to write to a judge on the subject of a case about to be tried before him. He should therefore hand the letter, which was at great length, over to the plaintiff's attorney to read. The plaintiff's attorney reed the letter, and said it was from the defendant, but did not disclose the contents,. The plaintiff's attorny then called the plaintiff, who. proved that he lent the defendant 21., and took hii I 0 11. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. The plaintiff's attorney applied to the Secondary to certify for costs to prevent the necessity of plain tiff going before a judge, as it had b een necessary to bring the action in the superior court, for if they had taken proceedings in the County Court it must have been at Sunderland, and plaintiff would have been at the expense of going down there; or, on the other hand, a special application must have been made to the Judge of the Sheriff's Court, London, and then defendant, if he had a defence, would have had to bring his witnesses up to London. The Learned SECONDARY said, that where there was a concurrent jurisdiction, as in this case, ho had no power to give a certificate—the application must be. made to a judge at chambers.
