FRANCE: It appears certain that the Bill on public instruc tion has been withdrawn. The withdrawal is owing to the strenuous opposition of M. de Montalembert and his colleagues of the Commission, who rejected the idea of again subjecting public education to the State or making it what it was in the time of the Emperor —a State monopoly. The measure of 1850 freed it from all real restrictions, and the pro position, supported so strongly by M. Fortoul— who is said to have declared that, with the system of government now prevailing, education m i d not, and ought not to be free—was to place it once more under State authority. The law of 1850 allows any one that thinks proper, not excepting, of course, the clergy, to open schools under certain con ditions, but frees them from the action of the State. The Bill which has just been withdrawn would re store that action ; and in order to gain the support of the clergy an exception was made in their favour. The project, however, was sure to be defeated, and has been withdrawn, at all events, for a year. Y e t it is not improbable that it will again he brought on. The opinion seems to be in favour of the reduction of the army ; that is, that the Government will be obliged to yield on that paint in consequence of pub. lie opinion being so strongly in favour of economy generall7, but particularly with reference to the armaa The reduction of the army would no doubt he taken as a atrorger p roof of pacific nod mod e r a t e intentions than ell declarations, ufficial or otherwise. There are eight seats vacant at this moment at the Council General of the Merbihan. Five members, viz., MM. Beslay, de Gonvel:o, Guyot, Lemin'ier de Lehelec, and Tali - neat have resigned rather than take the oath required by the Constitution. Tao members, MM. Beauvais and Croiser, have been ex pelled from the five departments of Brittany. One member, M. Beard du Duzeert, is dead. A case was decided last week before the Civil Tribunal of the Seine, in which the well-known Mme. Saqui, the rope-dancer, was the plaintiff. It ap peared that in 1838, Mine. Saqui, in order to satisfy her creditors, was obliged to sell the theatre which she directed on the Boule.vs.rd,:and to obtain a better price, she employed a M. and Muse. Begis to find out a person to bid at the sale. This they undertook to do, and, according to Mme. Saqui 's declara tions, they at last purchased the property them • selves, engaging to pay her an annuity of 3,000 f. for life. Mme. Sacini, on her return lately from Italy, made a final effort to obtain from them the arrears of the annuity, and a guarantee of its regular payment for the future. Not succeeding in that attempt she brought the matter before the Court. For the defence, it was declared that M. and Mme. Begis had never entered into any positive engage ment relative to Mme. Saqui , though it was admitted that they had offhred her 500 i. a year. The Court condemned the defendants to pay Mine. Saqui 2,400 f. a year for life, payable per month, and in advance; and in addition, to give her the arrears from the pe riod when the present suit was commenced, that is, about two months back. Mme. Saqui, who was pre sent when the judgment in her favour was given, was in such agitation as to render it necessary to remove her into the open air. The Debella has a long notice on the different ac counts that have been received from Australia, and concludes as follows : " The colony of Australia is ruined, or on the point of being so. In California the gold deranged nothing; there was not there, as in Australia, agricultural pur suits to injure, and a social state of things to overturn; there was not the accumulated fruit of a labour of fifty years. This much coveted gold is fallen like a scourge in the midst of tuffs growing civilizeticn; the colonist sorrowfully contemplates his vast meadows, where he no longer sees the face of man, and his flocks abandoned to wild does and to disease. He loudly cries for la bourers. He sends money to the mother country, in order to receive men in exchange. Agitation is caused by his appeal, and emigration to Australia becomes the order of the day. England is alarmed, not only on ac count of her colony, but on. her own account, for she finds one of her principal branches of industry in danger. The hocks of, Australia furnish wool to the manatee tureri of England. Formerly, the English received their al: 1 1)ply of wool either from Spain or from Germany; for the l as t 20 or 25 years t h e y h a ve been supplied from their own colony. In 1528, Australia only sent to Eng land 120 000 lbs. of wucl; last year the quantity was 43 00 • o ,ooolbs. All the manufactories of England are therefore supplied from thence. P, therefore, the flocks i are negl fhe „,:r; if there are no hands to shear the wool; of the mau ep raw material is wanting, what will become Leeds, one ~f 4 ;etures of Engllnci? What will become of the capitals of the north, and Halifax and Bradford, flourishing eileihe3te and Huddersfield, and their manufactories af.y"?

The Roman police opposed by all means the in troduction of foreign journals into the Pontifical dominions. The English papers were charged like letters, and made to pay in proportion to their weight. The Times sometimes costs 6f., 71., and 81. a number. The Russian Grand Dukes bad scattered money with profusion among the people of Rome. The Neapolitan Government was so afraid of their being annoyed by the L'azzireni, that it gave orders to arrest and imprison the latter (a very ungrateful act on the part of BuinbA). The drivers of th e cor i co l os were d i rected . to w ear th e i r S un d ay d resses during the resvieuc e of the Russian Princes, and the boys, who stand behind these vehicles and act as servants, were all ordered to put on shoes.

LEGER. 6 to 4 agst Dani2l O'Rourke and So:10ms HARRISON V. PAIN—BREACH OF PROMISE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Amongst the witnesses examined was a professional gentleman, who proved that the plaintiff had suffered severely, mentally and bodily, in consequence of the abrupt termination of the defendant's addresses. Mr. PHINN addressed the jury in mitigation of da mages. He would not impute the slightest in:propriety to the young lady, whose name had been put forth as the plaintiff, and truly so, not by her own wish or desire, but by her relatives, to vindicate, as they termed it, a character which he (the Learned Counsel) believed to be irreproachable. It was not the lady's wish to soothe her anguish by gold, for it has been said that the lady entertained the fceiing towards the defendant of" with all thy faults, I love thee s: iil." Th e Learned Counsel for the plaintiff has spoken to that point, and i t was now only a question for the jury to assess the damages. Both the plaintiff and defendant were i n equal circum stances as to respectabili t y , but the defendant's circum stances had been much exaggerated. The jury retired, and on their re:urn into court gave a verdict tor 5001. THE SUN, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.)

STAFFORD, the pro ceedings of the court-martial held upon the surviving officers of the Birkenhead were ordered to be laid on the table. PUBLIC BUSINESS. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the Chair for going into Committee of Supply, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and said that perhaps the House weed permit him to make some observations of the conduct of the business before the House.—(Hear, hear.) It; would be remem bered thee, when last they met, it was. fixed that the ad journed debate on Meynooth shotniel take place to morrow morning at twelve o'clock. k'dece then represen tations had been mado to him ley the gentlemen from Ireland that it would be unfair to renew the de bate then, and upon their representation he had con sented to allow the debate to stand over till Tuesday next, at twelve o'clock, as it was his pleasure, as else his duty, to consult the convenience of Honourable Members from Ireland, in disposing of a matter of this natare.—(Cries of " Hear, blear.") It would, however, in the present state of pub. tic business be im possible tor the Government to make any other arrange ment for facilitating the debate after Tuesday.—(Hear, hear.) He proposed to-morrow m ming to continue the Committee of Supply, tend to-morrow evening, with the consent of the House. he proposed to go into Committee on the New Zealeund Bill.—(Hear, hear.) It was his first idea to take tile Comnaittt e to morrow morning, but several gentlemen who were sit ting upon Committees upstairs had represented to him that they took great interest in the question, but it would be imp_ssible for them to attend in the morning; and in deference to them he had fixed the Committee for the everiug. lie wished now to impress upon the House the gravity of the public business that rev seined to be dis patched at the present period of the seenion. Hon. Gen tlemen must be aware that much of it was of that character which Government could have had a control over at any earlier period.—(Hear, hear.) Alloy of the measures were intended to continue already existing laws, and although the tinas in which these would have to be disposed of was short, yet he did not despair, with the assistance cf the House and becoming energy, of being able to complete the business without intertering with that ulterior result which they were all anxious should be attained.—(Hear, hear.) In going into Committee of Supply he might, perhaps, be allowed to make this remark, that while Government felt it to be their duty to submit nothing to the consideration of the House which was not of great urgency or paramount necessity, he did hope that Hon. Gentlemen generally, in the motions which they might bring forward, would be inSuenced by the same feeling.—(Hear, hear.) At present there were a variety of amendments on the paper on going into Com mittee of Supply, which under ordinary circum stances, and in the usual state of affairs, Government would find it to be their duty to give their attention to, but they were not matters of urgency or dispatch, or of that character which the House generally had recommended to be discussed in the present session, and he hoped the Hon. Gentlemen. who had charge of them would display a becoming for bearance and a self-abnegation, by abstaining to bring them forward at this advanced stege of the session, He appealed to the House generally to facilitate the progress cf public business, and in doing so he begged to state that Government were anxious to close the session at the period which all desired, and at the same time to accomplish the impertent results which the urgent Dlia• sures they had brought forward were intended to pro. dace.—(Hear, hear.) Sir JsIIVIES GRAHAM was glad to have the oppor- I t9e u fr n aep i rn t ua y :bel o citee f o ob d imuu r; s khi w nit i es n n g especial attention to the presen state tgesHe readily motions be shown up ton the going d o imngi Government tt i e n d to that s Committeee withm e for be rof Supply, while there could be no doubt that the wish of the country was that the labours of the present session should be brought to a close within the shortest possible time consisteet with the due an d proper disch p aree of pub tic business.—(Hear. hear.) It therefore appeared to him to be of paramount importance to consider what were the treasures which it was indispensihle to dispose of in the course of the present session. Just let him, then, call the attention of the House to the fact that there were 9 7 orders of the day en the paper which he heni in his hand, besides tour or five notices of motion before going into Committee of Supply ; but with respect to their urgency, he denit d that they were of that character which rendered it indispensable they should be decided in the press' nt session ot Parlia mente—(l-Ister, hear.) 'The orders of the day could be dividsd into branches. In the first place, there was the law. What were the questions with refer enee to the administration of the law which they were called upon to discuss on the 3d of June? There was first the Comman Law Procedure Bill, which had come down from the other House of Parham- nt after having been amply discussed, and which they were now celled upon to decide both in principle and detail at the end of the session. —(Hear, hear.) There was next the Masters of Chancery Abolition Bill, and Improvement of Equity JuriecLction Bill, in reference to which not one step had yet been taken be yond introducing it to the House, and which would re quire fall and careful consideration.—(Hear, hear.) There was, besides, the Suitors in Chancery Itslicfl Bill, which stood in a similar position, and it was lespetedele to exaggerate the importance ot any of theta m easure —(elear, hear.) Take again the colonial reletius branch: ' there wss the New Zeseland Bill,:which it was pro- Posed to take to-morrow, when they had Committees sit ting . aoe st b u a l) sours upon measures of urgency and importance, s h o East India Conteaey's Charter and the l aws oleo . th e good government of Ireland with refer whch it ve c olor. Zrtt me and outrage. Then, again, there was the other Bit u' is ioh o ops' Bill, the Bishopric of Quebec Bill, and f vast importance resecting the Colonies, the t a ession rotsible to decide upon at this period of other hand', hae in the existing state of affairs. On the ever, there were measures of a pressing character tvlat e Z ci ( i slei not be passed over. There was, e which was now being considered up taririns,srtaenlactei,nge to onvie nn s I T_ sus act of crime and outrage in Ire land, . eecoesolidation of the White-boy Acts, which St es impo rtant (Hear, hear.) t here W se , omit LA, passed this session.— a tta L also the Encumbered Estates by in of the greatest importance of nav y pay, which b et a e l t to h beene renew d e d u , e cad , d the was ore the subject B u ildings Act of 2.50 sla t se, hoar.)

He felt strougly LONDON, i on this matter, becswe he had a great apprehension that tint( ss they took care they would bring the institution of a representative government into discredit with the country, for as they had been going on hitherto it would almost seem that the House was not only incompetent but afraid to decide upon questions of vital interest to the people.—(Hear, hear.) He alluded now to the mo tion which had been twice brought forward on the sub ject of Maynooth.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Gentlemen who are charged with that motion had admitted that for all practical purposes the motion was useless. Certainly so far as obtaining inquiry in the present session, it was useless, and that being so, he put it to the House and the Government if any good could be obtained by continuing a discussion which would lead to no practical result, but which was calculated to excite auger and discontent amongst different classes of the community. (Hear, hear.) He did not deprecate a decision on the Maynooth ques tion, but he was against endless discussion upo n it, an d he thought the question could never be determined at a morning sitting. Some course ought certainly to be adopted to prevent that House, which was considered an example for representative assemblies, from being brought into disrepute by their misconduct on the debate on Maynooth. Mr. SPOONER said he never admitted that no prac tical good would result from the debate on the College of Maynooth. Sir JAMES GRAHAM—That no practical result would arise from the inquiry this session. Mr. SPOONER would admit there could not be an entire inquiry —(Cheers)—but there was something else besides inquiry. He wanted to know the determination of the House, "Aye" or " No," whether the subject of Maynooth deserved inquiry. The country called for a decision on the point, and he would press for a division. Mr. SANDFORD expressed his willingness to yield to the appeal of the Government. He would withdraw his motion respecting betting houses, in order to facili tate the labours of the Committ ee of Supply, though he considered that motion to be one of very great im portance. Lord JOHN RUSSELL hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would give an answer to the inquiries of Sir James Graham on Monday or Tuesday next, for they deserved the serious consideration of the Govern ment. The Honourable Member for North War wickshire was wrong in stating the nature of the question of Maynooth, which was not for ascertaining the opinion of the House in regard to that College, but whether an inquiry should be instituted by a Select Committee on the Bth of June. He (Lord J. Russell) thought it would be far better for the Government to institute an inquiry on its own responsibility, than to refer the subject to the investigation of a Select Com mittee. If the Hon. Member were really desirous for an inquiry, he had taken the very - worst course for the pur pose of obtaining it.—(Hear.) In regard to Supply, he considered the best mode of proceeding was for the Go vernment to appoint consecutive days for the sitting of he Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said was his intention to state, on Monday next, the views of the Government generally with regard to the conduct of public business, and he would reserve any observations ho might have to make in reply to the inquiries of Sir James Graham until then. He would now merely say he did not despair of being able to effectually accomplish this session all the business that was absolutely necessary. It was not his wish to depre cate the fullest discussion on the items brought forward in the Committee of Supply, but he appealed to Hon. Members not to press any questions which had no par ticular reference to the vote under consideration. In reply to Mr. HORSMAN, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not anticipate taking any other business after the Committee of Supply this evening. The Government would certainly not proceed with any other orders of the day at a late hour. MR. MATFIER. In reply to Mr. B. OSBORNE, The CHANCELLOR Gf the EXCHEQUER said he would lay the papers c . onnewed with the case of Mr. Lather on the table of ,t2o._llk;u6e to-morrow. SUPPLY. The House then went into Committee of Supply, Mr, BERNAL in the chair. The first vote of 113,476/. for the repairs of royal palaces and public buildings, &c., was agreed to, atter some opposition by Mr. W. WILLIAMS, and a short dis cussion, in which Mr. HAMILTON explained the various items of which the vote was composed. On the next vote of 60,546/, for maintaining and keeping in repair the royal parks and pleasure-grounds, Lord DUNCAN inquired why there was an excess of 24 000/. as compared with the vote last year? Mr. HAMIL TON said the increase was composed of 7,8571. for alterations and improvements in the parks of Richmond, Bushy, and Hampton; of 4,9501. for widen ing the roads in Hyde-park and draining the Regent's park ; of 4,9761. for the maintenance of the royal parks, which was hitherto defrayed out of the land revenues, and also of other sums which bad been transferred to this particular account. The question as to the continuance of the office of ranger was. no doubt, deserving consideration. Mr. SLANEY considered that great credit was due to the heads of the Woods and Forests, for improving the walks and drainage of the parks, and otherwise at tending to the comforts and convenience of the public. Sir DE LACY EVANS wished to know how soon Battersea Park would he finished and opened to the people? Mr. RICARDO, ‘tho wore his arm i❑ a sling, said that, as he had been put forward by the Noble Lord be low as a victim. of the incompetency or the Noble Lord opposite (Manners) for the office which he held, he begged to say that be owed his accident to the bad shoulders of his horse and to his own clumsiness, and not to thr• state of the road on which he was riding. Lord J. MANNERS said that he was taking all the means in his power to hasten the formation of Battersea park, au fast as the different plots fell in. (LEFT SITTING.)

HEROISM ON THE TIGHT-ROPE. (From Punch.) Poor old Madame Saqui! how many of us can look a long. long way—we will not think how long—back, when that marvellous woman stood, the centre, the human speck of a burning Vauxhall-star—who shall soy how many feet above the earth? Madame S'7citti ! Marvellous, indeed, were the wonders of Vauxhall ! The millions of lights that made dim the vary story-books, and gave to childhood an actual knowledge, a breathing experience of glories and effulgencos, that made even Sinbad poor and colour less. The Arabian Nights! Could they be anything like that night—our first night—in Vauxhall Gardens; a night whose wonders were crowned by that astounding Frenchwoman, Madame Saqui! There she stood in burning state, with balls of red and blue fire rising and breaking like a thousand bubbles about her—and rained upon by golden showers that seemed a real, enduring wealth ! And Madame Sgqui—having, like a spider, run a long thread of life—jumped to the ground full of ready money. She had foregone the rope, end resolved to walk the earth, when— " Her brother," says the Patrie— " Who was the manager of the Rouen Theatre, was on the point of becoming bankrupt, with debts amounting to 600,000 f, and to save his credit, Madame Saqui paid the whole amount, and reduced herself to poverty." Well, with a heavier load of years upon her should ers, the devoted sister had her shoes chalked once more, and once more mounted the rope, balancing and dancing Away, but somehow not dancing fortune back to her. However, she managed to save some 30,000 F. in Spain; but as Spaniards rarely suffer so much to leave their country, she was stripped by binditti—by fellows wao deerved every inch of the rope by which the mule/ had been earned—stripped of every sou. And now, here she is again! Here is the poor old woman—aged 7 5 —once more on the tight-rope, dancing for bread at the Hippodrome, in Paris! Reader, does not that old rope-dancer teach a touch ing lesson? Is she not in her wrinkles a noble object of self-devotion? Poor old soul! She may dance—dancing on a rope, with seventy-five sears upon her head!— dance amidst shower.; of fireworks—but there is a halo of goodness brighter than Bengal lights, more radiant than "golden drops." Granted, it may be possible to find selfishness even upon a throne. May it not be equally possible to behold self-sacrifice even upon a rope? Id EAT MARKETS.

(Sittings in Midoh sex. at Nisi Price, in Trinity Term, before Mr. Baron PARKE and Common Juries.) PARKES v. MATER. Mr. Sergeant Wilkies and Mr. H. A. Simon con ducted the ease for the plaintiff, and Mr. Edwin James, with Mr. Bovill, represented the defendant. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an alleged false imprisonment and assault, It appeared that the plaintiff was formerly a partner in the firm of Parke?, Smith, and Co., solicitors, Bee:ford row, but had some time :since failed for a sum of 45,0001. On the lit of July, 1851, being pressed for money, he made an application to a person of the name of Barnard, a clerk in the Royal British Bank, to whom he was known, to di scount f or h i m. Thi s app li cat i on, how ever, was r e f use d, as b e i ng contrary to the rules of the bank. Barnard wishing to assist the plaintiff gave him a card of introduction to the defendant, a plate glass manufacturer, in Great Queen -street, Lin coln's Inn-fields, at the moment supposing that the former had a good account at the bank, although it afterwards turned out that that account was overdrawn by about 121. The defendant was in the habit of discounting bills. The plaintiff, when at the defendant's, produced three ecceptseces by different persons, one for 1201., one for 401, and one for 301. At first the defendant refused to comply with the request to discount, but subsequently, upon the plaintiff depositing with him fifty shares in a lime-quarry in Cornwall, the defendant made an advance of 501., which sum was either to be repaid in three days, or the discount was to be completed with a deduction of 10/. The plaintiff, however, having obtained the 501., did not again visit the defendant, as had been agreed upon. Upon this a correspondence was opened between the parties, the defendant demanding the repayment of the 501., as he had discovered that the bills were unsafe. And so it proved, for on their arrival at maturity they were dishonoured. The money for the 401. bill was af terwards recovered. It happened that as the defendant h h w i el s met u w n a d i e k t r h i n e f f : s a e l plaintiff,nng pretences. was he e o gave the Cheapsiue on the 4th of October n custody upon a charge of having obtained money from and on the Monday, having been brought up before the magistrate, the case was dismissed, upon the ground that the false pretences bad not been established. The pre• sent action was therefore brought to recover compensa tion for this imprisonment, and the damages were laid at S h a i t m urd i a n y t : 1,0001. Tae c p ti l n in , having been called, proved th e or i g i na l tiff, anda dded th a t h e b an k e d at t h e R oyal British Bank, and that h o h ad applied to Mr. Barnard, the chief cashier, who ev entually gave him a card of intro duction to the defendant . Cross-examined by M r. J AMES—At the time of his application his account was overdrawn 121., which ba traon lance against him had not, up to the present moment, been diminished. He had not told the defendant that the clerk at the bink would endorse the bills. Of that fact he was quite certain, and would swear it. He had deposited some shares wi t h t h e defendant as a sort of • security. Those shares he had purchased of a Mr. Pace, but he had not paid for them. Ho gave a bill for them, which had not been paid. The bills he had deposited with the defendant were bills which bad been accepted for his own accommoda tion, and they had not been honoured. He took the benefit of the Insolvent Act in 1849, when his liabilities were as much as 45 000/. In the course of his pro fessional transactions large sums had come into his pos session, bat had n o t afterwards been forthcoming when required by the p art i es. Hence the large amount of his liabilities. Further evidence was given to prove the custody and the dismissal of the cas e by the Lord Mayor. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant in a very able speech, c ommenting in terms of great severity on the conduct of the plaintiff, who, having once been in a respectable practise as an attorney, had subsequently existed on his ruined reputation, and by practising frauds eon the unwary. as -- would leave the matter in the hands of the jury, by whom he felt assured due justice would be done. Mr. Baron PARES then summed up the evidence. The jury, after a little consultation, returned a vercbc for the Plalntiff—Dataaa One ,68,Farthing. Or LONDON v. TUE REV. J. E. COURT, June 2.

Of course ' against the judgment of as an appeal moment is most informal. and to argue, against that judgment at this ter, thon4h there wore cases of precedent for his doing so. So far as the Bishop S would not at that moment called his license a license at pka.”irc, he (Dr. Spinks) denied. The itconse of the Bishop apowing Mr. Glacls one to o%:iate wa3 not a lice nse at pleasure, a nd to be revoked with out good cause aseigned, but was to all intents and purposes a license in full and without limit. There was also a most important objection to the validity of the prohibi t i on, w hi c h was worded as th e prohibitioncl- of the " Right Rev. Eather God," insteadof " THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1852. in God " No doeht this wee a clerical error, hut •o far tie the (teen was concerned it was a fatal error inasmuch as Mr. Gladstone was brought into the court upon the prohibition, or upon what purported to be one; and upon which the Court was called to give judgment. It was anti-Christian, it described the Bishop of London as enti-Christ, and was the epithet formerly applied to the Bishop of item, as appeared from Gregory's Deere talc, where the title given to the Pope was Dominus Deus nester pater. It wad an error that could not be allowed to remain on the records of the Court. Dr. BAYFORD would remind his Learned Friend that Mr. Gladstone had given an appearance. Dr. SPINES bad no more to say upon it if the appear ance had cured the objection; but he submitted that, for its own Bette, the Court must take cognizance of it. The citation bad been served in the diocese of Winchester, whereas the letters of request were from the diocese of London. The Church Discipline Act required that the Court should proceed according to its law and practice; and antecedent to that enactment it was governed by the Statute of Citations of Henry VIII., which provided that no person should be cited out of the diocese where he dwelt without letters of request frem the bishop of the diocese in which he resided. The Learned JUDGE inquired whether this was not the court of the province? Dr. SPINES replied, that the archbishop was the ordi nary of the bishops, not of the subjects of the bishops. Dr. Addams, in his reports, at page 18, had appended a note to the effect, that if the citation had de scribed the party as resident in Ireland, the error would have been fatal. He also objected that these pro ceedings had been, if not against the letter of the act for the correction of clerks, yet against its spirit, and, as this was a criminal proceeding, the accused ought to have the advantage of it. In the case of a preliminary in-. quiry being directed by a bishop the defendant must have at least 14 days' notice of the proceedings; but here the offence was charged to have taken place on the 25th of January, and the citation was decreed two days afterwards. There had been the greatest hurry, and Mr. Gladstone had been obliged to appear without knowing the law applicable to his case. He now ad vanced to the articles themselves. The article which pleaded the general law made no mention of the build ing being unconsecrated, yet throughout the whole of the proceedings that fact had been prominently put forth. The charge was indistinct, and he could not now tell whether or not it was intended to charge the want of consecration as an aggravation of the offence alleged to have been committed by Mr. Gladstone. The citation did not appear to him sufficiently to raise the question which was really at issue in the cause. The instrument of revocation said, " We revoke, as far as in us lies, and by law we may and can." Mr. Gladstone thought that by law the license could not be revoked; the pro moter presumed that it could. The question was, whether doing duty on the etsth of January was made criminal by the service of the instrument on Mr. Glad stone, and the citation did not raise the question as to whether it was a valid instrument or not; the whole question turned upon that. The articles, in fact, charged no crime, for they did not allege that the instrument served on Mr. Gladstone was served either with the knowledge or by the directions of the bishop. These circumstances ought to have been pleaded in order to constitute a charge of disobedience to his Lordship. The apparitor in his evidence merely sated that he received it from the registry, without stating from whom. But, supposing the service to be good, then the question recurred, was the instrument valid or not? Per se, disobedience was not a crime; it must be disobe dience to lawful authority. That was laid down in Hooker's" Ecclesiastical Polity." It was assumed that Mr. Gladstone had been acting in defiance of the bishop and somewhat obstinately, whereas it was not his inten tion to oppose lawful authority. He (Mr. Gladstone) could nut satisfy himself that this was a lawful exercise of authority; but, if the Learned Judge confirmed the instrument, although Mr. Gladstone might appeal against the decision on the point of law, yet he would submit to the sentence of the Court, and wait until the judgment of the superior court had been obtained. It was with him merely a quetion of conscientious duty; he thought that the bishop had assumed a power which he did not possess, and he had not yielded to it. The onus rested on the promoter of the suit to show that law ful authority had been exercised. There was a marked differeece between never having received a license and a licteise being revoked—between non admission and expulsion. The insertion of the words " during pleasure" would be nothing unless the bishop proved that he had the right to insert them. That prin ciple was laid down in Sir George Lee's cases, and also in °tighten. Proprietary chapels were recognised in the Church Discipline Act, although it was pleaded that Mr. Gladstone was without preferment, and this pro ceeding must be forbidden unless it came under the 26th section of the Act. Could the Bishop have power to dismiss from an office to which he did not appoint ? His Lordship had accepted the nomination of Mr. Smith, and the consent of the vicar, and had allowed Mr. Gladstone to accept it by granting him a licence. Of the cases cited he was only concerned with two, " Hodgson w. Dillon," and " Barnes v. Shore." The question as to revocation of the license was never raised in the latter case. Mr. Shore, in fact, revoked the license by regis tering his chapel as a Dissenting chapel, and defended the action on the ground that he was a Dissenter. In the case of "Hodgson v. Dillon," with all deference to the Learned Judge, the sentence was founded on a fal lacy—that of calling on the accused to prove his in nocency, and not on the accuser to prove him guilty. Mr. Gladstone said, "Do not punish mo without a trial;" but the Bishop said, " No, my will is the law." In Dr. Dillon's case' there was an exercise of usurped power for good, but Hallam, in his work on the middle ages, showed to what grievous abuses such an exercise of power was liable. The doubtful precedent in " Hodgson v. Dillon," where it was assumed that without a trial, without a charge, a bishop might debar a clergyman of his profession, was growing into positi ve law, and unless the Court interfered, and showed' that clerks were within the pale of the law, for protection as well as for pnnishment, the most serious consequences might result. By the ancient law, as laid d own i n Gregory's " Decretals," a bish o p could not suspend a clergymen without giving him a trial. It had been said that proprietary chapels were unknown to the law, for that the ministers had a nonbddeescrritpbtetiatlreb,itattry per of and that was the reason why they were u the bishop; but he contended that the law was so expan sive in its nature that its circle enlarged by the applica tion of principles to particulars. preacher There n w d a l e e c e t close ana logylind between the office ..or rd chapel. I n all cases the minister of uncons ec rated the license was the same; i t was an admission of the qualification of the party, and, as the bishop had no power over the license granted to a lectureship, 50 no powe r over th .t a v t b granted e application had been he had erto a mini ster o f an unconsecrated chap el. made for a mandamus to compel a bishop to grant a license it bad been invariably refused, b u t t h ere were no cases in the books, either . here or at common law, where the question had been raisod and discussed as to whether the bishop could revoke a license. b In the 11th article of preechere, to which he replied that he Archbishop Laud's impeachment he was charged with silencing orthodox had not done it except upon just cause proved in court, and according to law—a proof that he did not claim the rieit . °tighten gave 447 forme of Proceeding, but no te , Bin: v e f or m for revoking a li cense. argument. b That was AYliffe gave a long a strong negative chapter on suspension., le• e never spoke of the power as being exercised arbitrarily and without process.

The promoter must prove that be had power to prohibit a clergyman from doing duty throughout the whole of the diocese, as was ate tempted in this Case, and, unless he did, the instrument was bad, for it could not be d • part and bad in part. (" Re a v. page, 5 East, go° 343 n The evidence given by the apparitor afforded a strong argu ment that the power now claimed by the Bisho w as against public policy. He stat e d t h at he attempted to serve the instrument on S un d ay morning just befor e the service, whereas th e L eg i slature had passed a lawre to prevent the arr es t o f a clergyman on his way to do duty. There had be en no w i tness examined to prove that there was any report or fame against Mr. Glad stone; yet it was ex p ress l y la i d down in " Gregory'sDecretals" that a bishop could not proceed without it. The service of the instrument was proved by ono witness only instead of two. It was pleaded that the service took place on the 19th of January, whereas the witness proved that it was on the 18tb. It was served by an ap paritor of London in the diocess of Winchester. It might be said that that was done by the authority of Mr. Gladstone; but according to the decision in " Ho mer and Jones v. Bloomer," 9 Jurist, if a commission issued, the inquiry must be limited to what took place in the particular diocese. The service, therefore, was bad. He trusted he bad brought forward sufficient to raise a doubt with regard to the law and also the facts of the case; and if there was a doubt in the mind of the Court, according to all the principles of criminal proceed ing, it must be given in favour of the party for whom he appeared. Dr. BAYFORD, in reply, said that he hoped the Court would scrutineze the evidence for the prosecution in every way, but he could not admit that Mr. Gladstone had acted in ignorance of the law. He was not inops concilii when these proceedings commenced, because a proctor appeared for him in the firat instance, and, if any objec tions could then have been taken, they would have been insisted upon. The license had not been brought in, therefore it must be assumed that it was in the usual form. It was inherent in the grant of a license that the same authority which granted it had the power of revo cation. The way to have treated the case would have been to move for a prohibition; if the bishop was acting without authority the temporal courts would have said that there was no crime for which to proceed. Theomis sion of the word " in" occurred in the recital of the let ters of request, and it would be going a long way to say that that rendered the proceedings null and void. Mr. Gladstone, however, had appeared to the citation. The same remark applied to the Rev. Gcntleman being cited out of the diocese; but he contended that he had been duly cited according to the requirements of the Church Discipline Act. This was a court of appeal, and its ju risdictioa extended throughout the province. It was impossible to contend successfully that Mr. Glarlgtone held preferment in the diocese of London. The Bishop had given notice to Mr. Gladstone of the revocation of his license, and he immediately entered a formal protest, denying the right of the Bishop to do it, and then, on th e f ollowing Sueday, conducted the service as usual. What necessity was there for a commission to inquire whether he performed the service on that day? Mu'h had been said as to the building being unconsecrated, but it made no difference whether it was consecrated or not• lie did not depend upon that, but upon the power wns to revoke the license. It bad been said thatdthweirth the no proof that the instrument had been ser o v ß e ,ohop; but knowledge and under the directions of . th put h for what purpose did his Lord,hiand it In affix his seal, it be did not intend P ittob l e s d h:l i evderteod " Barnes V. Shore" the proceedings tookplace on the assumption that Mr. Shore was still a clergyman; the "get thertiff`re . !rir r ern te had been drawn. In t. Hodgsen v. Ditten" it w said that the judgment was hese(' en a fallacy, but before he could assent to that staVment he must hear stronger grounds than had been urged by his Learned Friend. That decisiou merely carried out the principle which had been Ittloi)ted in other cases. In ae unen dowed lectureshi:, there was no reason why the bishop should not withdraw the license if he deemed it neces sary. Archbishop Laud said he never punished without good Caine, and Mr. Gladstone would nut • be punished unless there was ground shown for it. The tact that Oughton gave no form for revoking a license only proved that no f orm was required. In "Fr, eland z'. Neale," a private l e tt er f rom the bishop was held to be sufficient. The Dake of Portland, as lay rector, cited a clergyman to bring in a license granted by the bishop, The statements made as to :he eff,ct which would be produced on Mr. Gladstone by revoking the lieenae were based on the supposition that he intended to persist in such a line of conduct that he would never be able to obtain his license again. The sentence, after prohibiting him from doing duty in the diocese of London, would go on to say, " Without license, first had and obtained." Mr. Gladstone would only have to put himself in a proper position, and again procure the license of his diocesan. It had been said that a clergyman could not be arrested when going to church, but he (Dr. Bayford) believed that if the officer had been content with the Sunday service it would have sufficed. It was directed in the Prayer book that citations should be read at a particular part of the service. Sunday was selected because the parishioners were supposed to be all at church. As to the celerity of the proceedings, Mr. Gladstone had been allowed a week between the service of the notice and the period at which it was to come into operation. There was only one witness as to the service, but it had never been held that it was necessary to do more than prove the principal matter by two witnesses. The service was a point of minor consideration. It was no hardship to Mr. Gladstone whether he was served with the notice at Brixton or elsewhere. It wss the personal act of the Bishop, and if the service had taken place at Paris it would have been perfectly valid. He trusted that the Court would consider the articles proved; that it would admonish Mr. Gladstone to ab stain from officiating in the diocese of London, and, as he before said, condemn him in the costs of the pro ceedings. The - Learned JUDGE said that he would deliver his judgment o❑ the next court day, June 12. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, June 2. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at the Guildhall, Westminster.) The Court to-day heard the bailed cases. Daykin, William Blachmore, and Charles Dobson were charged with assauitirig three cAastables of the metropolitan police force in the execution of their duty. Mr. Cooper and Mr. Poland appeared for the prosecu tion, instructed from the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury; and Mr. O'Brien for the defence of Daykin. The other prisoners were undefended. It appeared that Dobson was fighting with another man on St. Berman's-hill, Westminster, with a crowd of people collected round, on the night of the 16th of May, and the policeman went up to put a stop to it. Shipp, one of the policemen, went up and took Dobson in custody, when Day kin attempted to rescue him with tome of the mob, and gut Shipp down and kicked him about the head and body, saying that he would pay him out. Some of the people also threw brickbats and tiles at them from th e top of the house s . D ur i ng t h e a ff ra y Daykin assaulted the other policemen, and Blackwore struck One of them with a bludgeon on the head. He became insensible from the blow, and Shit p was so in jured that he was taken to a surgeon, and was bleeding all about his head. Dobson, it seemed, only attempted to get away and threw down the policeman who was holding him, and then Daykin came up and kicked and struck him. Mr. O'BRIEN said that ho should call a witness to prove that one of the policeawa ntruek Day kin on the head before he interfered at all, and that this unprovsked assault on him made him commit the Wenn) he was charged with. He then called Marianne Florent, who stat.ll that, seeing, a crowd, she went up to see the row. Dobson was fighting, and was taken into custody. Daykin wai stanntng by, and only asked the policeman to let the man go quietly and he struck him, over the head with his staff. Daykin asked him what he did that for, andhit him again, and the heia went away. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE having briefly summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Milman, a police - constable, was then called, and stated that Daykin had been summarily convicted be fore for an assault on the p lice, and had also had two months' imprisonment for breaking a plate glass shop window in Oxford -street. In 1849 he had twelve months' imprisonment for "ringing changes" at Wool wich (!his, he explained, was getting change at a shop, subsiituting a bad shilling for a good one among the change, and insisting on the shopman giving another in its stead), and six months previously for a felony. The woman who was called as a witness he knew as a bad character. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that Daykin was evi dently the ringleader in this assault, and had aggravated his offence by bringing a woman to tell a story that no body could believe. On him, therefore, the Court would pass the heaviest sentence, without any reference to the character ho hud just received. no then sentenced Day kin to eight months', Bllckinoro to four months', and Dobson to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. sympathy, cosi d e a r t a a b l y times WE STMINS TE R. I distress, he with o regard cases to f an application made at this court a few days ago by a person of ladylike appearance, who represented that she and her two children, by a former marriage with a merchant, had been totally neglected and deserted by her present husband, late an officer in the Dragoon Guards, and a member of the Army and Navy Club. Her tale was of the most pitiable and heartrending cha racter, and went to show that after a tour on the conti nent with her husband, ho had left her at Liverpool to go to a furnished house he had taken for her at Bromptou, while he paid a month's visit to his pa rents in the Isle of Man, but that she never saw him afterwards, and, having maintained herself and chil dren by disposing of her plate and jewels, she fell step by step into the most abject state of poverty, and, after wandering the streets hungry and houseless, was indebted for a meal's victuals fur herself and children mid the temporary shelter of a roof to a poor la bouring men named Gibbons and his wile, who had known her in her prosperity. Although she had re ceived affectionate letters from her husband, who was a gentleman of property, he had in no way contributed since he left her at Liverpool to her support, and her last communications apprising him of her wretched con dition had been unanssered. She referred the magis trate to the solicitor of her husband's family, who trans mitted the income of his estate, and declared her con duct as a wife to have been most exemplary. There was a speciousness of manner coupled with her appearance, which, tidied to the favourable report resulting from the inquiry of the moment, was strongly calculated to im press the hearers with the truth of her statements, and Mr. Arnold, having afforded her some temporary relief, suggested to her the expediency of again visiting the so licitor in question, with a view of obtaining the support to which she was entitled from her husband. The re port of her interview with the magistrate was detailed in the papers of Thursday last, mid on the following day, in consequence of certain communications the public were cautioned against contributing anything to the rel of of the applicant until further inquiries had b.en made] Mr. Bishop. of Bond-street, gave such private informa tion as afforded the worthy Magistrate an oppor tunity of judging for himself by the most conclusive tes timony of the character of the applicant. Mr. Bishop's account having been confirmed in the most minute par ticulars, Mr. Arnold sent for the applicant, and it having been stated that she was a kept mistress up to the time she was united to her present husband, the worthy magistrate interrogated her cn this point, when she de clared that her former statement that she was the widow of a timber-merchant named Eveleigh was true, and that she had been married at Christchurch in the City; but she had no certificate, and her treacherous memory pre vented her being able to state the date of the marriage, though she could procure the certificate, and would take an early opportunity of doing so. Mr. ARNOLD, having* inquired what the applicant meant by stating in a letter she had written that there were two or three little things she wished to explain? Applicant replied it had reference to the circumstance that the labourer's wife who had given her shelter was a drinking woman, and that her (applicant's) children might have been seen fetching spirits for her from a public-house, and she herself, unwilling to lose the only friend she had in her misery, and thus lose the shelter of her humble roof, had on two or three, herself procured cordials for her. Although ° eeaslOLS a drinking woman, her hostess had been very kind to her, and h a d a ff or d e d her children s h e l ter. Mr. ARNOLD LD Intimated that he had heard applicant was in the habit of common soldiers. Applicant burst into tears, and declared it was a most infamous scandal. She had make an application to the adjutant of the Life Guards on behalf of a loor laun dress she was desirous of serving, and she supposed the calumny owed its origin to an orderly bringing two notes to her upon the subject. Page, a police-constable of the B division, was called in and asked whether he knew the applicant. The officer replied he did. Mr. ARNOLD inquired what ho knew of her. P•ige replied that he had E e her that she fell out of the n seve ral occasions drunk; on o ne occas i o n so drunk th door of the Globe public house, at Chi laea.

She distributed her favours among several other men. Other persons were in attendence, poor Peqls' whom she h a d d e f rau d ed, and another of whom sPe ke of her liaisons. Applicant at first endeavoured to prejudice the w it ' nesses against her by declaring they were not resPeeeld able themselves, but at last hung down her head, e' y appeared to feel that it w.s useless to attempt to °I L the imposture any further.
