p+ FRAN CE. of a statement that a i and in In caussquence ppear.— Of the papers relative to the promotion to the illAsirity of Matshal of France of a certain number of vnesal officers, a notice was publi3hed in the Mondeur few days s''nce denying that statehinir, on the ground t:-at the general officers spoken of had not fulfilled the flinditions required by the regulations of the army— t*he principal of which is, commanding in chief in the field against the enemy. With that condition it would be difficult, in time of peace, to fill up the vacancies that may occur. The notice in the ltioniteur was, it is sSid, occasioned by a demand on the part of a gene ral, officer who has made himself remarkable during events of recent occurrence. The reply to that de mand was the publication the next morning of the notice in question. Since then it has been stated that there is some idea of creating an intermediate rank between that of Lieutenant-General, or General of Division, and Field-Marshal—full Gene ral in fact, with the capability of an extensive and independent command. If the idea be carried into execution it is believed that General de Castellan, who now commands the important division of which Lyons is the centre, will be the first named. General Castellan foines one of the few remaining links that connect the modern with the old army of the Empire. ' The Journal des Debats contains a letter from M. de Coninck, announcing that the wheat and rye har vest and the bean and potato crop will produce less than a fair average this year, and recommending the Preach Gwernment to make a change in the existing absurd corn-laws. S WIT ZERLAND.. - • ----- The Basle Gazette publishes the following report of the proceedings in the National Council on the 3d inst. " The order of the day was the discussion on the peti tion of the popular meetiag of Poesieux. M. Escher, reporter of the committee to which it had been referred, said, The political agitation and the petitioning, in the canton of Friburg, are the renewal of the political sigruggle which we considered to be at an end with the Sonderbund. The constitution of Fri burg, the basis of which is perfectly legal, is one of the most liberal in Switzerland, and the Govern ment, by whicg it is faithfully and zealously executed, is entitled to praise. M. Ch a rt s himself voted at the time that the Constitution of Friburg should not be sulenekted to the approbation of the people. The Con stitution of Friburg of 1831, as well as those of Schwytz, Zug, St. Gall, and Neuchatel, and the anterior coestitu- Mons cf Soleare and Basle Country contain clauses rela tive to the mode of revision similar to those of the present Constitution of Friburg, which its opponents are attemp:ing to discredit. The members of the Com mittee of Poesieux were for the most part the warmest partizans of the Sonderbund in 1847. It is easy to understand the language of those hypocritical preachers of peace and conciliation, when they say, Who ever is not with us is against us: M. a deputy at Valais, said--' It is desired, in the name of a pretended raison detat to keep the people of Friburg in leading•srrings, under the pretext of secaring to them their liberty. r accordingly move the following molt:- l io n: __t Whereas, the right og the sovereign people to give themselves a constitution is inalienable ; whereas ' that democratic principle, recognised by the Federal Constitution, has been always applied, as respected guaranteed cantonal constitutions ; and whereas, the article 4th of the transitory clauses cf the Federal Constitution guaranteed, it is true, the constitutions in vigour without subjecting them to the for malities required by the article 6th, bat no wile impaired the principle of the right of the people to give themselves a constitution. The federal Assembly decrees—ln compliance with the pe tition of the Committee of the Meeting of Poesieux, held on the 24th May, 1852, by the people of Friburg, who e° ll3 Plelin of impediments to the free exercise of their sovereignty, the Federal Council shall adopt the neces sary measures to enable the people of Friburg to express themselves freely on the expediency of the revision of their Constitution." One of the representatives of that canton, added M. Allet, lately said that in Friburg it was not the cantonal authorities who governed, but the Fe deral Assembly. A Government which is obliged to heroin with the people for its rights is very near its downfall.' "M. Druey next delivered a long speech, which he concluded by moving the order of the day on the peti tion, lest it might be said that the Confederation was advancing to its ruin by cocsenticg to treat with a sample committee. Messrs. Lusser and Schwerzman sup ported the proposition of M. Allet. M. Lasser bitterly criticised the acts of the Government of Friburg. M. !laggard defended the Government. M. Dopples ulti mstelT moved the adjournment of the discussion to the 4th, which was agreed to. ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin having stated in some of its Roman correspondence that a yottng lonian having died at Rome, the Pontifical authorities had not only refused to have him buried in consecrated ground, but at last ordered the body to be thrown into a desert place, after it had been without burial seven days, the Giornale di Roma officially contra dicts the statement in the following terms :—" This recital off , rs precisely the same appearance of truth as enothl , r lite article of the same Piediffontese paper, in which it assure - 5 its recdere, ' that as to the civil marriage law, it produced no sinister impression upon the mind of his HOVINESS, when known at RJme: " The following • from Roma appears in the Const tutionleel o, A later from Remo of July 31 gives us some detail; of the recent discovery of a long list of con splretorea paid by the revehr..ionary committee of Loudon, and residing in Lombardy, Tuscany, and the itoman States. It appears that 'the Con,ul of Anitria at Genoa having learned, the death in that Lily of t iedividua), a Lombard by birth, sent to have the souls pieced on his property. It was when the seals were taken off that it Ine,s found that he was ono of the paymasters of the said revolutionary com mittee, charged .by it to keep up by mesas of hard cash, the love of their country and of national inde pendence, amongst the enthusiastic republicans of Italy. The mode of carrying on the correspondence was also discovered—being by means of silk handkerchiefs, the ,coloars of which disappeared after a chemical washing, the writing being brought out by the same operation. Our correspondent announces . that, in consequence, va rious arrests have taken place at Ferrara, and that, amongst the persons arrested in Lombardy, was an °Meer, who, after his first interrogatory, strangled himself with the three fingers of his right hand furced into his throat. As to the formation of a political Array, our correspondent states that one condition for ,the raising of a body of 18,000 or 20,000 men would be an accord on the subject between France and Austria, and sext, funds for the purpose. But unfor tunately the budget lately published by M. Galli offers nothing eery co nsolatory —showing a deficit of two millions of crowns, or upwards of ten millions of francs, plus, one millions of crowns for the cost of the Austrian army, that is an annual deficit of upwards of 15 millions in gulf .. II terminating his letter, our correspondent in forms us that, in addition to the million of crowns at the . charge of sere Roman Government a t ely for th e cos t o f th e Auet l rien army, Austria has applied for an induce ni:37, the precise amount of which is unknown, for the cost of the war, but on which that power has certainly received an instalment.

The Count had been ill for a long time from an affection, it is said, of the spine, which caused intense suffering, but it was only lately that his life was con sidered in danger. His physicians ordered him to Dieppe, bat his health, instead of improving there, became much worse, and an his return to Paris some days &Ice no hope was entertained of his recovery, disease of the lungs having been added to the original malady. Few men, not from their position public characters, have been more before the public ' than Cou n t d'Orsay, and few men in bis position have sho wn greater aocomplishments.

Invisible justice—iqual justice to all—the justice of which death holds the scales—counts days when it does not measure gifts. Alfred d'Orsay was too highly gifted—a warm heart and elevated mind, a pure taste, antique beauty, athletic strength, incom parable address in all the exercises of the body, incon testable aptitude in all the arts to which he applied himself (drawing, painting, sculpture)—Alfred d'Orsay had too many gifts for his days not to be parsimonioualy reckoned. Death has been inexorable, but it has been just. It has not allowed him to become a common man. It has not taken him—it has chosen him."— Galignani. MINING INTELLIGENCE (From the Mining Journal.) Except for those paying dividends, for which there has been a fair demand, the market has been unusually fist. The only feature to notice is the sudden advance of shares in the United Mines (G wennsp) from 250 to 575 and 600 per share, owing to the grand discovery made on a north lode in two of the deep levels, and the certainty of intersecting it in three others within the present month: a conaiderabtl, number of shares have 'peen sold during the Si' evk from 500 to 575 each, at which ther e are buyers in Cornwall as well as in London.

Advices have arrived by the Stebonheath from Port Philip direct, about a fortnight later than those last received via Sydney, namely, to the 22d April. It appears that, the production at the mines was steadily increasing, and was now estimated at 100,0001. per week, or at the rate of more than 5,000,0001. per annum for this colony alone. The presentvessel has brought about 60,000 ounces, valued at 230,004; and the Vanguard, which sailed a few days previously, but which has not yet arrived, took 17,490 ounces, or nearly 70,0001. worth. The quo tation was 60s. to 61s.,per ounce. . Great complaints continued to be made of the prevalence of crime, owing to the influx of convicts from Van Dienaen's Land, many of whom were among the most success ful people at the mines. Rain had begun to fall at Mount Alexander, but not so as to increase the faci lities• for working, and in the other districts it was still delayed. T he statement of the public revenue of the colony for th e quarter a tutrter has just been issued, and had cre ated bothbeing 35,592 et z isfaction and surprise, the increase sum nearly equal to the whole public revenue of a of tobacco, and year. Much or thisthe corresponding quarter of last foreign arose from the duties on spirits, revenue, likewise, er goods. In the territorial For ti L 3e u c o was an extraordinary aug mentation.the total of that revenue corresponding quarter of 1851 9,1381., and now it was 156.827/., the chief items 95,2 i . r!o_rease being the land s ites, which amounted to 4,4891.

S ubjoi ne d some clear details of the let ter giving affairs :-- o " MELBOITRIIE, APRIL 14.-;- - In my last letter 1 inti mated my intention of visiting the gold fields in c ompany with Mr. --, which we have accom p lished, mak ing'th e detour by Mount Alexander, and comieg down by Ad. larat on Geeloog. The distance from Melbourne to the Commissioner's tents at Forest Creek, which is at present the centre of the diggings,'is 75 miles; but Bendigo Creek, some 16 or 20 miles further on, which is a more recent discovery, promises to be even still more productive and extensive. The total population at the diggings is estimated by the Chief Commteeioner at about 35,000, but a considerable portion is migratory, and not half that number of licences are issued. " The present- weekly produce cannot be under 30,000 ounces, or about 100,0001. in value, as the Go. vornment escort alone now brings down about 20 000 ounces, independent of the large quantity conveyed privately. " From the Post-office to the river Ladder), a distance of six or seven miles, the bed and slopes of Forest Creek present the appearance of being covered with a aeries of g , gaetic motehilis , intersorTscd with miserable small t , -nts of every description, the occupants of which have rry squalid, unhealthy appearance, from exposure, P'lvAtion, and dust, sore eyes being waiver:ally pre . v-lem. "The roads now are very bad, :the cost of carriage from Melbourne being from 22/. to 25/. a ton, but most People are of opinion that when the rain falls, in about a ,_ r a°mh, they will bo all bat impassable , and serious appre uengoos are entertained of a scarcity of food during the winter months. "The gold is found both in deposit and in the matrix, a quartz vein having been struck at about 20 Pr 30 feet below the surface , and trac e d f or s ome distance, which is worked suc cessfully with, no other tools or machinery than pickaxe, hammer, - and tin dish. It has also been found in deposit in various strata of alluvial eartb, clay, and gravel, and even below the trap rock, leaving little room to doubt that the supply is not likely to be soon eiblitisted, while the Mitts-Mitts fields, near the bout- SUN, LONDON, dary of the colony, on the Murray, are still all but untried. Neither skill nor capital have yet been em ployed, and the result hitherto attained has been by the rudest and simplest means. " How long this is to list is the ques'ion. Most peo ple seem to think that it will be a leegth of time before the rich - s of the surface are exhaus , ed, and if so, it is certain that the ordinary occupations of life will be ne glected, and that the present sc.rcity of labour will con tinue to be experienced. I, however. cannot help in clining to the opinion that these gold fields, like others that have preceded them, will gradually become less productive, and only yield their treasures to enterprise, skill, and capital. Until this happens the relations of this life will never be established here; and the sooner this takes place the better for the colony. There are a few thousand men at work at Ballarat, but this is now quite a secondary field, both in extent and richness. " The people at the diggings are on the - whole very well behaved, but this is in no small degree attributable to the measures taken to prevent the inordinate use of spirits—for scenes of excess and riot are of daily occur rence in Melbourne and Geelong, end crime is very pre valent—the organization of the police force being quite inadequate for its suppression. The robbery of the Nelson, in harbour, is the most daring act that has yet been committed, though cssos of less importance against both person and property are very frequent; but on the whole, considering the motley nature ot the population and the imperfect means of control, the smallness ot the , amount of crime is perhaps rather to be wondered at." The St. George has arrived from Sydney, whence she sailed on the 4th of April, with 13,329 ounces of gold, valued at 53.200/. Her advices were anticipated by the ' last arrival, which brought dates from Sydney to the 17th April. COUNTY LUNATIC ASYLUMS. Institutions of the above description are at length deemed so preferable , as to render their adoption very general throughout the kingdom. Among the many which have been recently erected, that for the County of Bucks, for its style and general arrangements, appears deserving some public attention. Itstands on a commanding and salubrious site, the north side of an extensive valley,from whence the Chiltern Hills may be seen in the distance. This spot is about 3 miles from Aylesbury, on the high road to Oxford. The style, from a design by Messrs. Wyatt and Brandon, the architects, is plain but neat, and may be termed the Late Domestic." The exterior facing is of red brick (made in the loca lity), in which every care has been taken to preserve uniformity in colour, with a dental cornice finished with Bath stone. The few pretensions to ornament are in that portion of the front contiguous to the high road, and consist of a circular headed gateway leading to an inner court, and which support an entablature and enclose two recessed porches, the whole of which present a very neat and interesting appear ance. The principal front of the" superintendent's is similarly relieved, and is in the centre of a long range of apartments for the tranquil and convalescent patients, who are thus appropriately afforded a southern aspect. The form of the building resembles the letter E, the principal front is in length about 556 feet, and the whole building may be said to stand on the block of three acres and a half, or thereabouts. The buildings for the refractory are its one story, and for the tranquil and convalescent on the next story, where also will be placed the paralytic as well as epileptic. Every arrangement has been made for the due classifica tion of all, while in the asylum department provision is made for 200 patients. Altogether there are fourteen corridors and 124 apartments, including the cells, dor mitories, lavatories, bath-rooms, &c., &c.; the whole are lofty and of appropriate dimensions. A considerable portion of the corridors and lower floors, are laid with Orsi and Armari's patent meanie lava, and the ceilings and floors throughout are rendered fire proof under the direction of Messrs. Fox and Barrett. Great attention has been paid to the warming and ventilation, and the whole will be lighted with gas manufactured ou the premises. The entire cost will be about 28,000 L Since the commencement of operations in July, 1850, the works have rapidly progressed under Messrs. H. and B. Holland, the general contractors, and. would have been completed earlier, but were delayed through an in. sufficient supply of water; this difficulty. was, however, at length overcome by extending the borings of the well to a depth of 568 feet from the surface, by which a pure and ample supply can now be obtained. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Guildford, Aug. 7. Before Lord Chief Justice Jan.vis and a Special Jury.) GRIFFITHS v. DE L'ESPINESSN AND ANOTHER. Before the court finally adjourned on Friday night, the following additional evidence was given on behalf of the defendants. It should be stated that all the French witnesses were examined through the medium of an interpreter, but as he appeared incompetent to perform the duty in a satisfactory manner, Mr. Munster, a gentleman of the bar, volunteered his services, and he rendered great assistance to the court by the very efficient man ner in which he interpreted the evidence. Madame Desirde de Brenille, known in religion as Sister St. Thecaiosie, the second defendant in the actioo, deposed that she succeeded Miss Leith (the lest witness whose name was incorrectly printed as Smith in the report of the proceedings on Saturday) in the management of the class to which the plain tiff belonged. She remembered the presentation of the robe to Cardinal Wiseman, but she could not say whether the girl Henrietta Griffiths worked any part of it or not. She did not rerhember ever having told her to say that she had worked part of it. At the period the robe was presented the plaintiff was not under punishment of any kind, and on the day the Cardinal came she recollected perfectly well she was wearing a red ribbon across her shoulders as a mark of reward. It was in November of 1850 that the plaintiff was first sent to the trial class. Her offence was:for saying that she would never obey one of her mistresses. This was the only time that she was punished in the trial Class. She continued to misbe have herself, and was sent to work in the kitchen, and she came out on the 6th of January, 1851. The mo • 'Dent it was discovered that her eyes were affected, Dr. Chapman was called in, and everything be di rected was done for h er . Witness would swear posi tively that the plaintiff was never locked up in a dark room with nothing to sit upon. She was merely placed in a darkened room by the direction of the doctor, on account of the state of her eyes; and it was quite impossible, from the arrangements of the esta blishment, that she could have been forgotten for a day and a night as she had represented. She could state positively also that the plaintiff was never punished by being ordered to perform prostration. It was not the custom for the children to perform prostration; She had seen the nuns do it, but it was always done voluntarily. The statement of the plain tiff, that when she left the convent witness told her if she said anything about what happened there she would go to hell, and that she could not be saved, was also false, and she declared that she never said any thing of the kind to her. Cross-examinel----Witness might have said some thing to the child about going to confession. She remembered that the plaintiff did say to her that when she went to confession the priest took down in writ ing what she said, and she did not like it. She heard that the plaintiff had told the other children not to go to confession, because the priest wrote down what they said. Witness believed it was not true that the priest had dune so. Did not remember that the plaintiff insisted upon not going to confession on this account. She was quite sure the plaintiff was never forced to go to confession. The children always went to confession of their own free will, and they had to ask witness's permission eight days before. Some of the children confessed every week, some every month, and others only went every two months. If a child should never go to confession witness would not in flict a penance upon her for not going. While the plaintiff was in the different class-rooms other chil dren were allowed to see her, except at the period when she had the chicken-pox. She was quite sure that roast meat and porter were supplied to the plain tiff by the doctor's direction; but there was a diffi culty in getting her to drink beer. They used small beer and porter in the establishment. The plaintiff would not drink the small beer and they gave her porter, and sometimes she left it, and sometimes she threw it away. Witness punished her by taking away a good mark from her for throwing away her porter. She said that she did not like it. Madame Folinot, one of the nuns, deposed that ahe managed the kitchen in November, 1850, and re membered the plaintiff being sent there in November, and her remaining there for some time. She helped to prepare the things for dinner, but was certainly never put to do anything beyond her strength, or that was likely to injure her health in any manner. Cross -examined—Was quite sure that she never fe.cahinilndtded, and fainted away in the kitchen while witness superin z the r. she f The req u plaintiff en tl y i l l She was in the kitchen from five in the morning till nine at night. She had her dinner by herself in the kitchen, and was not allowed to speak to any of the other children. ' th e h cook, deposed that while the plaintiff was un d er Madame Armant Dezier, et sb wash ingies, andl) her cteus s t tai and diddg and o p t h r e i n p g a r n u g t into the g l i a g r h d t en wo to rk ie s tc u h ch ve a g s them. She said that all the hard wor k of tche was done by herself. Cross-examined—The plaintiff never complained of the work being too hard for her, but she frequ.nly said that she was very tired ; and when she did so, witness used to tell' her to' sit down and rest herself. Into the children were in the kitchen for punish mint, they were not allowed to go out from half. past four o'cl(ock in the morning till nine at night. Elisabeth Bedser, a very sharp, intelligent girl, an parenly about eighteen years old, said she had hi , !en in the orphanage class of the establishment at Nor wood. She first went to the institution in July, 1850, and left in frlarch, 1851. She went to it a second time in November, 1851, and went away for good in February, 18.52, when she was apprenticed to a lace manufacturer at the west end of the town. While she was in the establishme n t she w as very kindly t rea t e d, an d had nothing to complain of. They had quite as much to eat on all occasions as they wanted, and sometimes more. The girls were allowed to take plenty of ez-rcise, and in winter time, when they could not go oat of doors, there was a room for them to play in. The plaintiff was treated just the same as witness herself azd all the other girls wi , re. She never heard of any of the girls being compelled to perform prostration, or of their being punished if they did not go to confession. She was never treated with unkiodneis in any way while she was in the convent. Witness had been placed in the trial class, and also in the kitchen, but it never injured her. She used to go to confession when she liked. Cross-examined—Was sure she had not been to confession that morning. She came to Guildford with the ladies and some of the other children. The priest came down with them also, and she had seen him that morning, but had not spoken to him. Wit ness used frequently to go to confession, but not so often as once a week. She never tried to make her escape from the trial class : -room by breakinz a win cut. The wound on her hand was dow and getting not caused in that manner. While she was at So mers-town she was wounded with a carving-knife by and the scar on her hand was one o co f n h s e e r qu co en al c p e ao . ni S n h s e was sent to the trial class room a second time. It was for disobedience to one of her mistresses. and she deserved to be sent there laugh.) She was very disobedient indeed.— (Renewed laughter.) She was very sorry to say that s he was disobedient again afterwards, and was sent a third time to the trial class. The usual practice was, for the first offence to keep them eight days in the trial class, for the second fourteen, and for the third offence twenty days. She was kept for twenty days to try to make her better. She had misbehaved her self, end had caused great scandal to her companions by refusing to kneel down in the middle of the school-room, when she was ordered to do so. If she bad performed this penance well she would have been pardoned directly. She was ordered to kneel down, because she talked too much to her compa nions. She was allowed three days to consider whether she would obey the order to kneel down, and because she persisted iu refusing she was ordered to the trial class-room. It was a very common penance to be' ordered to kneel down in the middle of the room. She was in the kitchen for four weeks after this. She used to be allowed to go out to walk every day, but she could not say at what periods of the day or how long at a time. The witness here exhibited a good deal of agitation, and Mr. Cieesanees inquired what bad alarmed her. He then pointed to a person standing in front of the witness, and w h o was s t ate d t o b e one o f the priests belonging to the convent, and asked her if there was any one in court who she was alarmed at ? She re plied there was a person in court she was ashamed of. Mr. CHAMBERS-4s he standing behind me ? Wit ness—lt is not a " he," it is a " she."—(Laughter.) Mr. CHAMBERS inquired who it was she was ashamed of ? The witness replied that it was the plaintiff, Henrietta Griffiths, who she was ashamed of. Cross-examination continued—Witness was in the trial class when they used to sit facing the wall. They sat upon a sort of low stool, and she had sat facing the wall as long es six or seven hours. .Frederica Mahony, another of the orphans, gave similar evidence as to the kind treatment she had re ceived during a residence of three years in the convent. Mary Jane Hart, another orphan, said that while she was in the convent she was treated with very great kindness, and the ladies behaved to her more like mothers than anything else. She had always more food than she could eat, and she had plenty of rest and exercise. She also stated that she. had taken the plaintiff meat twice a day while she was ill, and she had seen her throw a portion of it away. Cross-examined—The plaintiff used to eat part of her dinner, and throw the rest away. She had also seen her, when she was in the porter's room, give a portion of her diviner to the poor who used to come to the convent for the broken victuals. She had also seen her throw away the beer that was given to her. Mary Ann Barton, another of the orphans, also said 'that she had been treated with every kindness since she had been in the institution. Cross-examined—Witness was now wearing a red --- ribbon - round her shoulders, which was a mark of honour. Five or six of the girls belonging to the orphan class were down at Guildford ; three priests accompanied them, the two belonging to the convent, and a third who did not. She had seen the priests that morning before the Court sat. The other girls had seen them too—they had been together all the morning. The witness Bedser had spoken to the priest that morning. This concluded the evidence for the defendant. Mr. CILAMBERS at ten o'clock this morning, pro seeded to reply. Re said that from the nature of the 1 case the jury would doubtless anticipate that it would , be his duty to occupy their attention for some time, but he should endeavour to confine himself as closely 1 as possible to the question at issue, and should not detain them any longer than was absolutely necessary. In the first place he would remind them that the charges against the defendants were generally that they omitted to give the plaintiff proper food and nourishment ; that they did not allow her to have sufficient rest or exercise; that they confined her improperly in a dark room ; and that they had: im posed tasks and punishments upon her beyond her strength to endure, and which were injurious to her health, and had ultimately occasioned the dreadful defendantst ak e n ca l am i t y . of the loss of her s i g ht ; an d if the j ury should be of o ptoion that upon an y one o f these points the OA the duty they bad under plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict. The most fe ar f u l an d s t ar tli ng part of th e to perform, had ne theglt case a ppeared to him to be this. According to the stat e mentof the defendants themselves, it was admitted that for four or five months the plaintiff was in a state of d a ngerous illness, all the medical men agreed in 1 opinion that she was in a dreadfully emaciated condi tion, a nd Dr. Alexander said that when he saw her she presented the appearance of a person who had been starved ; and it was certainly a very striking circum stance, tending to show that she must have been grossly neglected while she was in the establishment, that it had been proved that when she left the con vent, and was treated in a proper manner, she was noticed very shortly to be in a state of comparative good health, her remaining eye recovered, and she was totally cured. This fact naturally raised the inquiry whether the evidence that had been brought forward for the defendants could possibly be true. It was said that the narrative of the plaintiff was a tis sue of falsehoods; but he could not help observing that it a ppeared to him the fact he had mentioned went a gre at way to confirm the truth of her story. His Learned Friend, who appeared on behalf of th• defendants, seemed to lay great stress upon the ab sence of any motive on the part of these ladies to act in the m anner stated; but he did not think it was any part of their duty to enter into any question of motive in the present case. In their own religion, and con nected with it there were a great variety of charities of every description, from the mere charity school to those at a much higher character; and it was not at all an unusual or extraordinary matter to hear of the principals, or persons connected with them. b e i ng Otte' of some acts of misconduct towards their scholars and ' the persons under their charge ; and therefore it was not at all impossible that the same thing should occur with persons pro fessing the Roman Catholic religion ; and all they had to do was to ascertain whether the fact was proved, and they had nothing to do with . motives, good or bad, that might have suggested it. The first thing they bad to consider was, whether the story told by the child was a probable one. What was her story ? She said that she waseslaced in the first instance in this esta blishment, and a year's board paid for her by Cardinal Wiseman; an d he here felt it his duty to make this observation upon the conduct of the Cardinal, that' there was no man in this Country, however high his station might be, but was bound to obey the law, and to submit to that law which protected him ; and that the highest person in the real m , i nstea d of endeavour ing to evade having a subleas att to attend a court of justice served upon him, ought to be the first person to obey it. The Cardinal, however, was absent. They had tried to subpoena him, not for the purpose of annoying or harassing bins,. but in order that jus tice might be done this poor child, and that he might, by his testimony, confirm her evidence with regard to one of the issues on the present occasion ; if be had been' there he m ight have contradicted the evi dence of the child on one important point, or he might have confirmed the evidence given by the ladies who had been examined upon that poi n t ; and undei these circumstances he could not conceive how it had hap pened that the Cardinal had set the evil example of cons evading the service of a sub P • It was conceded that this child bad been placed in the establish ment by Cardinal Wiseman, and he must, therefore, have known all about her; and he thought it would have been very desirable that he should have at tended, and informed the jury how it happened that this child, islho was now sai(l to be unworthy of credit, came to be introduced into such an'sstablish ment , for either she was an unfit person to be there, or else the statement reseeetief4 her hed ne founda tion. He could not deny that this poor child w a • the unhappy subject of a scro f u lo u s affection ; but, at all events, she was in a good state of health when she went first to the establishment, although she op _ peered feeble and weak, and this was admitted by the defendants. This was 3 vsry important p o i n t as regarded some of the issues, far if the defendantsi knew that sh.e was feeble a nd weak, t was c l ear l y their duty to have taken more care of her, an d not to have done anything that was calculated to increase her malady. Was it then a pro per thing, under such circumstances, to compe l a child to get up at half-past four in the morning., and remain up until nine at night? Look at the number of hours for a weak and ailing child to -be kept from rest. The question of necessary rest, therefore, was a very important one for the consideration of the . jury. Then, with regard to the food, which was another important consideration. He admitted he MONOAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, had been misinstructed with regard to meat being al lowed once a week, it being proved th•it they bad it oftener ; but the jury must look at the whole quee tien, and whet description of food these children had given to them. Fcr breakfast they had soup made of rice and grease, end although one of the witnesses (Miss Leith) appeared indignant at this description being given of it, and stated that it anis made of dripping, he could not help thinking that it came to the same thing, and he asked the jury whether such a greasy mess was a proper thing for the breakfast of a delicate child ? It appeared to him that it was only calculated to produce the result that followed, namely, sickness and an unwillingness to take proper food after it. He would confine himself to what occurred after the defendant, Madame de rEepinasse, came to the establishment in this respect, and' he should contend that the diet was most important. The children might have had a small quantity of meat for their dinner, but all their meals appeared to have had one principal ingredient, -" confiture," or sweetmeats, and between the dinner at twelve o'clock and the supper of vegetables and tea at half- past seven, the poor children had nothing hut the "gouter," which was a piece of dry bread with a little jam of 601113 kind ecreped, no doubt, very lightly over it. The tale told by the witness for the defendants, with regard to the liberal diet at the establishment was evidently an exaggeration, and reminded him of Dickens's story in "Do-the-Boys Hall," where the boys certainly had more than they could eat, for they ware fed as the pigs were, and the pigs certainly got the fattest.— (A laugh.) A great parade had been made about the 3501b5. weight of meat that was consumed in the establishment; but they ought not to forget the num ber of persons there were to consume it ; and he sail, notwithstanding that,- this poor child had not been properly fed, and he asked them to say the same. It was probable that the food had been to some extent changed after the doctor was called in; and as to her throwing 'may the victuals and the beer, he urged that it was ridiculous to suppose that she should have done so ; and . if she did throw the beer away, it ap peared to him that it confirmed her story that it was only water coloured with beer, and was consequently so nasty that she could not drink it. If this poor child had really thrown her meat away because the condition of her stomach would not allow her to eat it, ought this not to have excited commiseration in the breasts of those about her, and ought they not to have seen at once that something more ought to be done ? Instead of that, however, they called her a naughty girl, and actually punished her. The next allegation was, that the plaintiff had bean overworked, and coin pelted to do work beyond her strength; and he sub mitted that this was sufficiently proved by the fact that she had been kept in the kitchen from half-past four in the morning till nine at night. The next charge was, that the plaintiff was improperly punished and compelled to do tasks injurious t o h er h ea lth ; and the principal evidence to support this was what was proved to have been the course of proceeding in the trial class room. It appeared to him th a t thi s was a m o st severe punishment. For the first offence the poor children were subjected to be confined to the trial class for seven days, for the second 14, and•for the third 20 days; and the jury would not forget that if .any poor child turned her head fr om th e w hite wall, in front of which she was placed, if it was only one day before the expiration of her sentence, it all began over again. He could not help thinking that this was a most cruel punishment. They all knew how the eyes were affected by looking at any white object, even for a short period ; but here were the poor chil dren, with the exception of the periods for their meals, placed opposite a whitewashed wall from half-past four in the morning until nine at night, and if they only turned their heads—the object of punishment being to keep their eyes upon the wall—the punish ment recommenced. It was true that an attempt had been made to prove that since the present de fendant had been made superior of the convent the system had been changed, and that the children did not now sit with their faces to the wall; but he asked the jury to doubt whether this was the fact, and If they should do so- he contended that it was a most improper and injurious description of punish ment. Another of the punishments which he relied upon to support the plaintiff's case was that of prostration. It had been denied, certainly, that any such punishment was ever inflicted ; but in what manner was the contradiction given ? At first it was said that there was no such punishment ;known in the convent, and when the lady superior was ques tioned upon the subject, she professed entire Igno rance of it. When she was pressed, however, she said she did not know anything of prostration " in that sense," meaning as a punishment. It appeared to him that this looked very much like saying one , hing and meaning another; and he felt compelled to make this remark—and he asked the jury, from 'heir own observations, to confirm him as to the truth ',f it—that the ladies who had been examined, al though evidently moat acute and intelligent persons, had not given their evidence with that candour and openness which ought to be exercised, and that the mode in which they did give it led him to fear that they had been studying a book of which everybody had pra bebly heard, and which professed to make persons skilled in the art of saying black was white, and sehite was black, in such a manner as to avoid stating a direct falsehood, and evading the truth by giving an enswer with a mental reservation, and in another tense to that which was conveyed by the answer. He admitted that the mysteries of every religion were, and ought to be, sacred matters, and that they ought not to be inquired into, and he stopped immediately in his inquiries upon an intimation from the Court upon this point; but he submitted that quite enough had appeared to show that such a punishment as pros 'ration was known to those who professed this form of religion, and although it was denied that t he plain tiff had ever been required to perform it, it appeared to him that something had been done very much like it. Tee girl Bedser admitted that she had been punished for refusing to kneel in the middle of the floor—it was admitted that one of the punishments made use of was to order the children to stoop down and kiss the floor, and he-asked the jury whether it was at all unlikely, under these circumstances, that the plaintiff should have been ordered to prostrate herself in the presence of one of the nuns. With regard to the motives that might have existed for this ill treatment of the plaintiff, he was afraid it might be traced, to a certain extent, to her un h ippy condition of body. It was represented that she smelt offensively, and Miss Leith herself ad mitted she did not like her, although . she gave no reason for'it, but merely that the plaintiff was a girl who never inspired her with any confidence; and he was fearful that her miserable condition gave offence 'o those about her, and 'that the result was that she was neglected and no care taken of her. Upon the subject of going to confession, and the statement that the plaintiff had refused to go becau se the priest wrote it down what she said, it was true that had been stated that it was false, but he was afraid that tnis expression was also made use of in another sense as tt was termed, and that the re f us al of the plaintiff to go to confession had given offence, and that she was punished in consequence. If they really believed, as they stated, that going to confession was a good thing, did the jury doubt that they omitted any m eans to make the children perform - the duty, and that al though they did not actually order them to go to it, yet that they took other means to effect the same ob ject equally efficacious ? The next subject for consi deration was the confinement of the plaintiff in the dark room. He knew it had been said that this was done by the doctor's orders, and for the plaintiff's benefit; but he asked the jury, if this were really the case, whether they would have confined this 000 r child in such a place for a period of four months without letting her aunt, the only relative she had in the world, know of the circumstances, and affording her an opportunity of going to visit her, and whether a room eight feet long by four wide, in which she was confined a portion of the eime, was a proper place, particularly when the doctor was proved to have given directions that she should be placed in -a well-ventilated room ? He now would refer to a matter which he thought had been intro duced solely for the purpose of creating a prejudice; he alluded to the observations that' had been made with regard to the name of Dr. Achilli being placed in the same subpoena with that of Cardinal Wiseman. The fact was, that the defendants bad put every sort of plea upon the record, and it became absolutely ne cessary for tbem to procure all the evidence they could to meet those pleas ; and as Dr. Achilli, from his position, was supposed to be possessed of a great deal of information in connection with those establish ments, it was thought that he might be enabled to give important evidence upon the present inquiry, and his name was therefore put into the subpoena. with regard to the absence of the aunt, it was not felt that her evidence was very imaterial, and it was supposed that she would have come forward to give evidence voluntarily in behalf of her niece; but as she had net done so it was not their fault. He said be felt bound to give this explanation ; and, in conclusion, he asked the jury not to allow any religious preju dices to inter face with their judgment, but at the same time he said he must ask of them not to &low themselves to be d, terred from doing their duty by any fear th a t the result they arrived at should be ascribed to pre judices of the description to which he had alluded. The CULEF JUSTICE then summed up. He said that although the case had occupied a very consider able time, and the question the jury would have even tually to decide was of a very painful chtracter, he and every one else could not but be sazisfisd at the manner in which the case had been conducted on both sides, and that those persons who had cro w ded the court during the trial, in the expectati on o f hav ing a vulgar curiosity gratified by th e ex hibi t i on o f any bigotry or religiou s feeling, had been altogether disappointed, as he was happy to say that the _case, ' which in itself was of an ordinary character, had bilen conducted as . an ordinary case wou ld b e , w i t h ou t an y improper or irrelevant matter being introduced on I either side.
