A gentleman, signing hi mse lf 4g Cox, " endeavoured to complete yesterday the enterprise comm enc e d on Saturday . by another ge n tl eman signing himself " Canterbury." That enterpri se i s nothing less than the closing of the Crystal Palace to the public 013 its permanent so soon as it shall have been removed to permanent site at Sydenham. Against any such barbarous proceeding we have already protested — and again and again we shall continue to protest ,as often as it shall be revived by the blunder fug piety of the Sabbatarians. We look upon the Sunday as consecrated to adoration. We recognise the authority of that venerable commandment. We do more, we appreciate its beneficence. We regard it as .a dispensation so peculiarly entitled to reverence, apart from the awful manner of its inculcation through the thunder of Sinai, and considered, if that be possible, solely in reference to its humane in fluence upon the population—that we believe it would have been ni„ humanly speaking, if not ab solutely- necessary secure periodical days of res t by a statute, supposing the mandate had not been in scribed by lightning o n th e t a bl es o f t h e He b rew lawgiver. We conceive that that day of repose should be viewed by every member of th e commun it y throughout Christendom with emotions of affection, as well as with sentiments o f g r a t i tude. it is true that the first has been substituted for the seventh day in every week, in obedience to a venerable tradition of the Church—but, altered tho ugh t h e time is, the prim', le is, to this moment, identical,withthe one which centuries ago was maintained by the wearers of the epl'aid among the descendants of the Chaldean AMU-. 11 AM. Thus it is that we regard with feelings of un ffected admiration the grandeur and benevolence of the institution, which we should be loath to see either derided by infidelity or profaned by fanaticism. Hap pily there is little danger incurred at a ny moment in reference to the former casualty. But unhappily there is only too frequent cause to regret the recurrence of the latter—namely, the attempted profanation of the glorious institution of the periodical day of rest by those fanatics who would fain render Religion a curse instead of a blessing—a positive nuisance instead of othperofa very nin people a benign consolation. The S abbatarians are perpe g the tually crying out against the notion are of Sunday—while they themselves who are doing their uttermost to secure the certainty of its profanation. They endeavour to put a stop to railway travelling. They try to close every place of innocent recreation. They would restrict the move ments of the hard-working classes to the squalid localities surrounding their city homes—herding them into the close atmosphere of the conventicle (in the majority of instances a room built over a charnel house)—confining their occupations on the Sunday to the singing of psalms, the reading the general suppression of anything at all approach ing to merriment. It was not in this spirit that the Sabbath • • was originally instituted. It was not thus that Dejection was chosen to be another name for the genius of Christianity. Religion, we persist, can only be polluted by its degradation to these sordid and narrow regulations. The worship of the Divinity is not dependent upon the rolling of a wheel, or the Snorting of a steam-engine. Better, surely, to enable the artizan and his family to adore GOD after the dictates of their own hearts, and then to breathe the fresh air and rove among the green fields, than, by shutting them up in the work-a-day streets where, their life wears away in a ceaseless round of drudgery, to drive them to the skittle-ground and the beer-shop in very disgust at the mercilessness of these cruel and fanatical regulations ! It is precisely because the Sabbatarians do not regard the matter in this light— because they want to debar the toiling multitude from the enjoyment of the most sinless recreations — that we consider them to be the real desecrators of religion, and the very men who are striving to insure the profanation of one among the most benign and beautiful of its institutions. Following up the course adventured upon by the deputation introduced on Saturday last to the PRIME MINISTER by his Grace the Archbishop of CANTER.. BURY—a certain Mr. Cox took occasion yesterday to propose that the Crystal Palace should not be opened to the public on the Lord's Day, and, in addi tion to this, that no trains should run on those days to Sydenham. The suggestion of Mr. Cox was made in the course of a special general meeting of the shareholders of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company. That meeting was convened for the purpose of formally announcing the approval of the arrangements entered into by the directors with the Crystal Palace Company. It is gratifying to observe from the statement made by the Chairman (Mr. S. LAING) that already—out of 2,342 proprietors, representing 3,242,7511. of stock -1,763, representing 2,427,9701. had, by letter, ap proved of the arrangements, while merely 579, repre senting no more than 814,7811., had been numbered up as dissentients. Everything promises admirably there fore as to the future prosperity of the undertaking, According to the plans about to be carried into effect the Crystal Palace will, in another year, have been not only removed from Hyde-park to Sydenham, but have been very considerably increased in its di mensions and in its general magnificence. Erected upon an eminence nearly 300 feet above the level of the sea, it will, when completed, be visible from almost every height either in or near the metropolis. The entire length of the nave is to be arched like the transept, while the transept itself is to be almost double its present altitude. The building will com prise courts representing the manners and customs of different countries. It will contain an Indian bazaar with a durbar adjoining. It will have a quadrangle to illustrate China, a representation of a Pompeian house fully restored, a fac simile of a peace at Nineveh, and— tbauks to the artistic abilities of 0 WEN JONES—a reproduction of one of the courts of the Alhambra. Fountains will be interspersed among the statues in the building, and among the flawer-beds and shrub bsries outside, one . of the exterior fountains playing to the enormous height of 150 feet, namely, twenty feet higher than the NELSON Testimonial. From the pleasure of enjoying the innocent recrea tion of a visit on Sundays to this scene, where Art and Nature would combine to create a spectacle like that of enchantment, 11r. Cox yes terday endeavoured to shut out, by antici pation, the labouring classes of the metropolis— those honest and hard-worked artizans who are unable to enjoy the fresh air of the country upon week-days because of the unavoidable pressure of their avocations. For the credit of the humanity of the shareholders, be it said, that the bigotted amendment thus proposed by Mr. Cox could find no seconder, and thereupon, consequently, dropped to the ground. We aro gratified to learn, moreover, in reference to a similar feeling elsewhere, that the LORD MAYOR of London declined to be one of the Sabbatarian deputation of Saturday, headed by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. The circum stance is worth recording as indicative of the liberality of feeling worthy of the chief magistrate of the City, and interesting as affording testimony of his sympathy for the industrious part of the population. Let all sensible and liberal men act with similar resolution, and we shall then hear somewhat less frequently of these unfortunate Sabbatarians. It is with exceeding pleasure that we draw the at tention of our readers to the steps adopted by the City authorities last evening towards the suppression of those dens of iniquity, the betting-houses. At the commencement of the legislative business in each Chamber petitions were presented, in the House of Peers by Lord REDESDALE, from the city of London, praying for the suppression of betting-offices, and in the Commons, the City Sheriffs appeared in person at the Bar, and presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, praying for the interference of the House to suppress them. We confidently trust that the blow thus struck will be vigorously followed up, for the evil has become one of such monstrous magnitude as to demand the peremptory interference of the authorities on the score of public morality. True it is that after the last Derby several of the worthy public bookmakers made a summary smash, to the consternation of their dupes, whom it is im possible to regard with the slightest degree of sympathy or commiseration. The knaves very seotetieado, felicitously took in the fools, but as has been said of Old, though you bray a fool in a mortar, yet will not his folly depart from him, and as the snake is only I.3 :i n o e t ces k s i a l r le y d, those public temptations to cri minal and vicious fully must be thoroughly I PPressed . • Some stringent enactments are incon trcve,,,,., against those betting establish rinue;tBs), which are mainly kept by fraudulent bank dare notbitiguard fighting-men, and "legs" who rapt w at. on the turf.

A writer, who lately asserted from positive knowledge that he was within the mark in stating that above 300,0001. a year is lost by individuals otherwise respectable, and goes into the pockets of the black-leg fraternity of the proprietors of the metropolitan betting-offices, says cf them, that by one of those wonderful inconsistencies of our legal code, they appear to be not only not illegal, but to a certain extent to be supported by law, and this from the circumstance of a bet not exceeding 101. being a perfectly legal contract, and recoverable at law. " Anything more monstrously absurd than making a ten pound bet legal, and a hundred pound one illegal, we cannot well conceive. We would rather even see it reversed, for the heavy bets are ordinarily made by persons of large means, who, if they cannot well afford to lose the money, are at all events not reduced to beggary by the loss. The small bets, on the other hand, are risked by servants, mechanics, artisans, clerks, and petty tradesmen, and are the source of more want, dishonesty, and crime among such people than can be imagined." But it is worth while considering whether, in default of any active authoritative steps, there may not be a method of accomplishing the desired end by means of an already existing power. For some time since Mr. lIEWIT OLIPHANT, the learned author of a book on " The Law of Horses, Racing, Wages, and Gaming," gave publicity to his view of the law on the subject in the columns of a morning • contemporary. "It is quite clear," says he, " that any practice which has a tendency to injure the public morals is a common law offence. It is equally clear that the keeping of a common betting-house has such a tendency. Those places being great temptations to idleness, and being likely to draw together great numbers of disorderly persons are, therefore, nuisances at common law. And where it is found that persons have not only hazarded more than they can properly afford to lose, but have also embezzled the property of their employers, such persons would be idle and disorderly ; and a betting-house frequented by such persons, and so pro moting such conduct, would appear to be a disor derly house—a nuisance at common law, and indictable by any two inhabitants of the parish, under the provi sions of 25 Geo. 11., cap. 36." Surely our parishes are not destitute of a couple of worthy citizens each to test the correctness of the views here enunciated, even if they have to undertake the case on their individual responsibility. We should rejoice to see the attempt made against some of the ragamuffins who, only that, happily for themselves, Lynch law is a thing unknown among us, richly deserve to be laid hold of, and figure in tar and feathers in front of their own " offices." Whoever lends a helping hand to the annihilation of the vermin has our unfeigned good wishes, and if there be not a very speedy extirpation of those mushroom gambling-houses, their swindling proprietors will find themselves some fine day held up to public infamy in such unmistakable and special terms as will tho roughly spoil their game for the future, and compel them to have recourse to some other project for steer ing clear of their proper destination—the hulks. LATEST FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) The proceedings of the Corps Legislatif were inter rupted yesterday (Tuesday) by a communication from the Minister of State, informing M. Billault that the President of the Republic considered the course pursued by the Committee on the Budget, in rejecting certain articles of the Budget, unconsti tutional. The Committee, however, persisted in its con. a elusion, and the Assembly adjourned in the greatest confusion. MONEY and CONEVIERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Bills of Exchange were negotiated yesterday at rather lower rates, 90 days' paper being taken at 25 50 to .55 on Paris, 12 14-- to 1i on Amsterdam, 13 10 to 10i on Hamburgh, 1214 to * on Frankfort, and 11 54 to 58 on Trieste, The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and 2,000 on specula tion. The market closed steadily. The sales included 100 Egyptian at 54d, to 6id., and 300 Surat at 3kd. to 41d. per lb.—Railway Shares were firm at higher prices. An account of the quantity of Grain imported into Ireland from Great Britain makes the total laet year 421,594 quarters, of which 369,650 quarters were of foreign growth. Of Meal and Flour 466,451 cwt. were imported, 351,244 quarters being foreign. The advices from the continental Stock markets no tice continued buoyancy in the quotations. The Arctic steamer brings 450,000 dollars in gold. The abundant supply of gold is strikingly in contrast with silver, of which were is an absolute scarcity, owing to the demand for India and the amount required to make up the instalments on the Austrian loan. The next mail from Mexico ill bring a very large sum in silver, as the Indemnity instalment consigned to Messrs. Baring is likely to reach. There is a quieter market for Public Securities as far as speculation is concerned, but good money purchases are still forcing up the New Three -and-a-Quarter per Cents., which have reached 1041 to The Three per Cents. are 1011 1. Bank Stuck is worth 223+ to 224. Ex chequer-bills of June are 695. to 725. premium, and East India Bonds 88s. to 91s. premium. Consols for the opening have been at 1001 to 101. Consols have just fallen to 1001 - upon the French news. The Foreign Securities have all borne high prices, and a moderate business has been transacted in them. Mexican Bonds have been 27i 8, and are now 274 to Brazilian Old Bonds have been marked 1014., Cnilian 105 to 106, and Equador 41, being all fuller quotations. Venezuela has risen upon the information received by the Committee to 45 and 46, an advance of 2 to 3 per cent. Peruvian Deferred Bonds have been at 66k, and since 651. Grenada Deferred Stock is at 104 I, Sardinian Bonds are worth 941 Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. aro at 105, and Dutch Two-and a-Half per Cents. 64i to 65. Austrian Scrip is weak at 4i premium. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 34 and Spanish Daferred 22i to 1. They are now 22-a to Railway Shares have been very animated and at enhanced prices for the favourite lines. Foreign Shares are generally steady, but not brisk, and Sambre and Meuse have declined a little. Gold Mines are looking well, and other mines are in favour.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Lord CAMPBELL and a Special Jury.) TH E QUEEN (ON TUE PROSECUTION OF ACHILL') V. NEWMAN. The intense interest which this case has excited during the last two days had increased rather than abated this morning. The galleries and the body of the court were crammed in every part, and crowds remained outside, who we unable to obtain admittance. Dr. Achilli was called and examined by Sir F. Tim- SIGER. In reply to a preliminary question, he said he would prefer giving his evidence in his own language. He then said—l am forty-nine years of age. I was born in Viterbo. I was educated in the Roman Catholic faith in the College of the Jesuits. I entered the Dominican convent at Qaercia as a novice; that was in the year 1819. I was then sixteen years old. I re mained in that convent a little more than one year. I then became a monk of the Dominican order. In 1821 I went to Lucca, to pursue my studies there. After that I entered into priest's orders. I was then under the canonical age. I obtained my orders by a dispensation from the Pope. That was at the solicitation of the Duke of Lucca. In the same year that I obtained my orders I went to the College of Minerva at Rome, to pursue my studies there. In the early part of 1827 I was sent for to preach the Le sermons at ant e Capronice, in the province of Vite those rbo. I was appointed by the Bishop to preach sermons. I have yet the patent of my a ppointment. In Septem ber, 1827, I received an appointn3ent as lector philoso phice at the seminary o f the Bishop. of Viterbo. I comm enced my duties under this appointment in No vember in the same year. I remained discharging these duties at Viterbo until 1833 inclusive. On of the 6t Oc tober, 1832, I was appoin ted by the master the sacred palace at Viterbo to be his vicar. Among other things, I was made not only censor of the press, but president of the censorship. I h ave yet my appointment as vicar of the sacred palace. In 1833 I obtained from Cardinal Belzi unlimited authority to confess in the diocese of the Bishop of Monte Fiasco persons of both sexes. That gave me authority artmpose penance and give ab solution. In the Same ye I was appointed by the ge neral of the Dominican order prefect of studies and the head professor of s t u dies at the College of Mi opnrt m o n e nt a . vlin. Mi nerva at Rome. I provincial w h i a th ve t h e notthat a p rod 1843 I loft Viterbo the tour of the Dominican churches in Tus scany. In November, 1834, I returned to Viterbo, when that visitation tour was ended. I stayed at -Viterbo in my own convent with the provincial. I remained on this occas ion only a f e w days at Viterbo. I was appointed visitor at another place. I was appointed the confessor of the Governor of Viterbo, when I went there in 1827. The whole of the time up to 1833 I acted as confessor to the governor. Th e general authority of the bishop to confess in Viterbo is renewed from year to year, and my appointment was renewed annually up to 1833. The other place to which the I wdiocese a! appointed visitorl was en was the conve nt of Napi, n of Napi. gaged in that visitation some weeks. I then went to Rome. I arrived in Rome in the month of December, 1834. On the Ist April, 1835, I had two pat en ts t o preach the Lent sermons. I have got them in my pos session. One is from the Cardinal Serra, Archbishop of Capua. I was to preach the sermons at his cathedral at Caputs. The other patent was from the same Cardinal to preach Lent sermons at St. Maria de Capua, a colle giate church. I received authority to confess persons of both sexes in the diocese of Capua. It was an appoint ment during pleasure. I held it all the time I was at Capua. In the year 1835 I obtained letters of secu larization from the Pope. I now produce those letters. I did not avail myself of them immediately, because I WAS ordered by the Cardinal Acton to remain a little longer in my vocation until I was better tried. After I obtained the letters of secularization I went to Naples, and remained in the Dominican convent there for four years. During that time I was a month at Rome. That was in June, 1838. I was appointed at Rome confessor to tho Princess of Saxony, Louisa de Bourbon. In the month of August, 1837, I had a patent instituting me as prior of the convent of Santiago at Naples. I had previously been sub-prior. There is a clause in the document absolving me from all excom munication. That clause is contained in all patents con ferring jurisdiction. in September, 1837, I was appointed by the Prior Provincial his commissary in a cause to be tried in the convent of Del Atro near Naples. In 1839 I completed my secularization and remained at Naples as a secular priest for two years. I then went to Rome, that was in the year 1841. In the spring of 1842 I was imprisoned in the Inquisition. I remained at that time about three months. When I was released from the prison I went to pass the summer in the country near to Rome. I afterwards went to Ancona, and from thence I proceeded to Corfu. I met Biochiani in Ancona; he told me he was going to the lonian Islands. I told him I was going the same way, but I had not a passport, and ho added I might avail myself of his, because he had a pass post for five people and there were only four, so I took no name, but I was number five. I re mained at Corfu about a year and a half. I went from there to Zante, where I remained also about a year and a half. I left about July, 1846, and went to Malta. I then came - to a Rag land. I came to England in May , 1847 . I was the ap pointed professor of the college at Malta.in June, I went and discharged the duties of professor. returned to England, where I remained tillja l n B u l a B ;y l , 1849. At Rome I was married--that marriage took place on the 24th of June, 1849. Healey,married a Miss an English lady, who had been educated in Italy. Shortly afterwards I was again put in prison by the Inquisition. I remained there six months. I was confined in the prison of St. Angelo. I was let out of prison under the pretext of being a witness in a political cause. The French authorities interfered in my favour. After I left Rome on that occasion I came to England, where I have re ma i ne d ever s ince. I have acted gl as minister of the Italian Potestant chapel near Golden square until two weeks ago. I was not deprived as early as 1826, or at any time, of my faculty to lecture for any offence. I did not,in February, 1831, or at any other time, know a person of the name of Eleanor Valenti. While at Viterbo I did not rob any young woman of her honour at all. I knew a family of the name of Gen tilli. There are two families of that name at Viterbo, two brothers, each with a family. In 1831 I did not know a Signora Gentilli. The only female of the name of Gatlin was the wife a c oun t Julia 14uither of the families lived in the country near Viterbo. I did not pass m y coun t r y mont h i n 1 831 i n th e fsmily of . Geutilli, but I passed it with another family. It was my custom in Oetoh,r to pa-s my time the conniry with friends or relations. I pssed my cow! try month in 1831 with two or three of my friends, but c,rtainly not in the ho use o f G eut illi . I n ne i t h er o f t h e houses I visited was there a servant girl with whom I walkA out. I never went with a servant girl to foe two Gentillis shooting. [The witness Eleanor Valenti who swore that be had connexion with h er at the Geutilli's country house, was here brought forward.] Did you ever se e t h at woman before?—Newt - tercourse with that ' w • Did you evrr h ave i n women? —Never (indignantly). I never had conaexion with that woman in any pl ace i n tee world I never saw o n m o a r n h i a a ,i t c h o e n s n a c c x r i i o s u ty w o i f th the he ch r. ure T h h o e f G h e r r e d o i r , a a n t y V o i t t h e e r b r family of Maccarini at Viterbo, are my relations. I never had connexion with the woman Valenti et their house. I never gave her or any other woman a le cket handkerchief and three sausages, as a return or reward for any improper intercourse. Of sausae,es I had none to give, but I might have given a handkerchief to same poor woman. I know a nun, Rosa di Alerrandris, a rela tion of mine, in the monastery of St. Bernardo, at Vi terbo. I was never found guilty of seducing and de bauching and carnally knowing her. Sae is older than I am; with her I could not have cemmitted any sin, be cause she is shut in a nunnery. I never had connexion with her in the sacristy of the church of Gradi, or any where else. I never gave say money to her lather us hneh money. I think I was a child of five or six years old when her father died. Ido cot know any other Rosa di Alesandria. Iu July, 1834, I did not debauch, seduce, and carnally Ir noes a young unman led woman, of 24, whose name is unknown to the prosecution. In 1835, while resident at Viterbo, I did not debauch and seduce, and rob of her honour Vicenza Guerra, I did not know a person of that name, and besides I was not at Viterbo in 1835. When I was in Capua, in 1835, I resided in the house of the C,rdinal Archbishop, and was occupied morning and evening in preaching Lent sermons. I was during the whole of my stay there under the eyes of the Archbishop. I did not while at Capin have intercourse with a chaste and unmarried woman. (The witness Principe Balisano was then shown to Dr. Achilli.) I never saw that woman in the whole course of my life. In 1840 I was at Naples. I had at that ' time availed myself of my letter of secularia scion, and was living as a simple priest. I never saw her in the sacristy of the church at Naples. This is the first time I have seen her. I know the paper produced (receipt tor payment of money to the image). It contains my writ ing. This was an institution for an image in St. Peter the Martyr to collect money. I did not receive the money; there was a person specially appointed for that purpose. Persons came to me to write down their names, but they were not allowed to enter the sacristy—they stopped at the door. I do not recollect being stopped in a procession by Principe or her mother. I was never before the police respecting a charge by the Principes. I had a friend, the Duke of Larina; he is no relation of mine. I left the Dominican order because the brethren began to make war, and they spread charges against me. I made no account of this, as was my custom, but my friends, irritated at such proceedings, tried in every way to subvert and de stroy such charges. I had communication with the Duke of Larina and all my friends. I was never before the police with the Duke of Larina or any of my friends. At Corfu I knew a tailor of the name of Gar ramoni. His wile lived with her mother, next door to me. There were two houses. I never committed adul tery with Garramoni's wife. I remember on one night a fact that h a pp ene d i n regar d t o Garramoni. One evening I w as passing before the house of the wife of Garramoni, she was at the door and called me. She asked me to answer and correspond to certain questions. She began and asked these questions, when we were surprised by her husband. The questions were begun but were not finished. I believe she meant to ask me if I had heard any noise in her house on an antecedent night, and I believe that she alluded to certain screams or crys that, de facto, I had heard. When Garramoni came up he began to inveigh very furiously against his wife. I was standing at the door of the house, and it app eared to me that h pushed me inside his house. I made a step within the door. I reproved Garramoni for his conduct to his wife. I made way with my hands and got out. That was the only occasion on which I was within the house of Garramoni's wire's mother. I do not think I ever saw his wife at any other place. Some days after I heard that Garramoni spoke against me through the city. I went to Mr. Fraser, the secretary of the Lord High Cemmissioner, and complained of Gar ramoni. I have no kn ow l ege o f any proceedings being taken in the matter in the courts. I had two persons in my service—Carraboni and his wife—all the time I remained at Corfu, and at Zante they were in my service; they followed me two or three weeks after I arrived at Zante. I did duty at a chapel at Zante. I knew Mr. Reynolds at Zante; he was one of my congregation. His house did not look into mine, but mine into his. My house was higher than his, and in order that a person in Mr. Reynolds's house could see what going on in the upper room of my house it was necessary to place himself outside the window.— (A laugh.) I never committed any indecency with Garra moni's wife. I recollect Mr. Reynolds, after an event which happened between us, did speak to me relative to the persons in my service. I had in friendship, and charitably, given some slight reproof to Mr. Reynolds because he was in the habit of drinking - too much in the evening and being drunk. The first time be received the reproof with resignation; the second time he was a little displeased; afterwards he absented himself from the congregation. I went to pay him a. visit of reconci liation; he assumed altogether a serious tone, and began to reprove me about my servants. Ho said that they had been, before coming to me, persons not of good morals. I answered I should be satisfied if they behaved well while in my house. I begged him to tell me if he had to say anything against them at that time. I re member that he himselr spoke in eulogy of them, only he would have wished that I should send them away according to his will. Before that time he had said nothing about sending them away. Carraboni lived in my house as well as his wife. They had a child. Tho wild never slept with me, nor dined with me. Mr. Reynolds never came to my house. I never sold that the two covers laid on the table were for poor Albica, the wife, who was going to dine with me. I never walked arm in arm with her in the street. I never went with her to hear the band play. I never went to hear it even by myself. The congre gation increased very much after Mr. Reynolds left it. I continued to perform duties in the chapel six or seven months after he left the congregation, and until the last moment I remained in Zente. The congregation in creased sip to the last moment. (The mother of the witness Principe was here brought forward.) Ido not know that woman at all. Carraboni and his wife did not continue in my service after I left Zante. While I was professor at the College of Malta, two priests, named Zaccharis and Leonine, who had been converted to the Protestant faith, were accused of some offences. The accusation was made by an Armenian priest, who, in my judgment, was not deserving of belief. I was instructed by the committee in London to inquire into the charges. I had advised the secretary not to institute proceedings against the accused persons, because I knew very well the character of the accuser, and that no credit should be given to the accusation. I investigated the matter on my return to Malta, and the result was that no credit was given to the allegations. I sent Zaccharis on a mission. Before he went com municated to Mr. Hatfield, the principal, that he was going to Sicily on a mission. I did not send big away for the purpose of stifling the charges against him. Whatever wore the charges against these two persons, I fancy I was not implicated in them, as I was in London at the time they were made, and they were at Malta. Were you dismissed by the College of Malta for the offences of sin, fornication, and immorality 7—No, I think not. Did you ever preach against the laws of chastity and morality ?—No, never. Do you believe in the truths of Christianity 7—Yes. Have you ever been an infidel?—l think or believe not. There was no time in which I did not believe in the truths of Christianity. There was never a time in which I did not believe in the &vine mission of our Saviour. After I got out of the prisons of St. Angelo I came to this country with my wife. I do not know a person of the name of Catherine Gorman. In London I lived at No. 3, St. James's-street, at the house of a Miss Lambert. I never took any liberties with the ser vant of Miss Lambert. When I first came to London I lived in Northumberland-street, and, subsequently, at Shaftesbury-terrace. I had a servant,L named Harriet Harris. I never canducted myself indecently to wards that person, or attempted to seduce her. I had a servant named Jane Legg. She followed the other servant, and remained with me six months. I never behaved indecently to her or tried to seduce her. I remember Sarah, who came fromo the House of Mercy, at Windsor, to take Jane's place. I never had criminal intercourse with her, or attempted it in any way. I was in the prisons of the Inquisition on t wo occas i ons . There were some proceedings against me, o n th e fi rs t oc casion, in the holy office of the Inquisition. I was questioned by the Inquisition every day. The charges lre school, in made against me we re w i t h regar d to my teach i ng i n t the pulpit, and the confessional. There was no c h arge b rong h t aga i nst me re specting my moral conduct. The Inquisition is not a competent tribunal to deal with these crimes. The Inquisition never personally and to my face charged me with immorality. Ido not know of any charge of immorality being preferred against me to the Inquisition. I never made a confession Inquisition of having had carnal intercourse with u sr g a t° ri°_!! women in Viterbo and elsewhere. from ro occacntahns ieootnCno ou Court ch charges i were of the Inquisition now produced. but I know nt ons ceedings in which any of the charges it I see 00 0 1 n d o brought under my notice.

The proceedings had entirely reference to my teach ing. There was no sentence or judgment delivered, only a decree of the Congregation of the holy office, ordered by the Pope, to set me liberty. I was then set at liberty under certain conditions—thatshould reconciled to th e Holy See, and that to the mem- wws time I aliculd abstain from the exercise of my ministry. This reconciliation, according to the instructions given, consiced is this—that I should write end poblish solve book in /avoar of the Roman Catholic Church. I must cur relit an observation which I made, not having sul reff,ced. My it,cereeration at the Inquisition toy r pace in 1841, and after being set at liberty I re mai;,ed a certain time in Ainne, and afterwards I went, as I said, into the cc - niatiy in the neightourhood of Row° Tbo , e were all the conditions on which I was released from the Icvisition on the first °cession. oss-exateined by Sir A. COCKESURN—I became a monk of the order of St. Dominic, in 18°0, and took the vows. The Dominicans prof ess on ly ij, single vow , :—" I, Achilii, promise obedience to God. to the bles,:cd Virgin, to the patriarch St. Dominic, and to ye! Most Iluv. Fatha - -Gentral of the Order until death. There is nothing else in the vow. I mean to state on my oath I believe a Dominican monk does not take the vow of povt.rty and celibacy. I swear on my oa th I did not take those vows. It it is lan their interest to take those vows, Dominican monks do not take the m. They were not a nee:.sary condition to hr a d m itted into th.e Order of tit. Dominic. The vow of ebedienee is only necr.ssgry. In the year 1824 becamel a priest. (Thtisti!v is part of the obli g ation of a priest.

In 1826 I went to La Quaercha of my own accord ; I was not rent ; I did not go there by way of penance. Every officiating priest in Italy hes not a general power to confess like I had. In 1826, Spaletti. a priest, might have made accusations against me; heard that these accusations were in circulation, but I dawvihdneidantoie them. There v o T n ihtee a rreb tour ()w. asi In 1834 s v n3 i visitation there e n l aw w wa i s t n h rnd ß o : n o g a s a c i e cn ni ts e ri : W ee against me of violating the person of a young woman in Cardinal Belzi'd house. There might have been, but I cannot now recollect. lam net indifferent to charges of that kind, but thousands of the same nature have been made against me. When in the prison of the It quisitiou I was accused of murdering a nun, and the matter was brought under the notice of the French Government. To obtain letters of seclurazition, I must have a patrimony. The letters mention vows in the plural, but I still per sist in saying I only took one vow as a Dominican monk. I obtained the patrimony from my uncle shortly after the letters of secularization were granted. In 1831 I did stay for a portion of the month of October at the house of a lady named Gentilli, the widow of one Christoehe; the house is in the country near Rome- The servant in the house was not the woman Valenti, I don't recollect ever seeing her face before. I have gone out shooting while there, with Spaletti, the vicar of the bishop.. Sir A. COCKBURN—Oh! that is the amusement of monks.—(Laughter.) Lord CAMPBELL said that formerly English bishops and the clergy kept fox hounds. Sir A. COCKBURN—But there is a great difference between secular clergy and monks. Witness—l never took out any servant girl to show her some shooting sports while I was at Signora Gen tiles house. You have plenty of funds to carry on these proceed ings?—l hope Providence will furnish me with funds. From whom do you get funds?—l get them by the providence of God. That is not my question?—l obtain them by the Pro vidence of God through some friends. Lord CAMPBELL—I do not see any necessity for in quiring into that point. Sir A. COCKBURN—I only want to show funds are not wanting. Lord CAMPBELL—I think there are no funds wanting on either side.—(Laughter.) I think, Dr. Achilli. you have said the monks at Viterbo are very wicked people?—l do not come here to cry out against them. But you have cried out against them—have you not? —When time and circumstances allowed it. You said, I think, they were a sinful and profligate people?—l did not say that of the monks of Viterbo. Are they a gocd and virtuous people?—Some are good and some bad. Were some loose in their conversation with women; and were all possible means taken to hush up their eon duct?—According to th© law, it was the duty of the principals to proceed against them, and I myself have been charged to conduct inquiries respecting some. Were you ever charged with such an offence?---As long es I remained with the Dominicans I was their idol.—(Laughter.) After leaving Viterbo I went to Naples, having previously spent Lent at Capita. While you were at Canna had you i ntercours e with any woman whatever ? — I might say no;" but I ap peal to the privilege given me by the Judge not to answer the question.—(Sensation.) I was never charged with having intercourse with the daughter of the cham berlain of the Bishop of Capua. Do you think, now you are a Protestant, that a charge of tinchaetity is a serious cne to be made against a Roman Catholic priest?—l believe it is a real crime among all Christians. I do not think it makes much difference between a clergyman and a layman ia this resp- ct. (The witnots was under examination when our report left.) SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) He PPER V. BURNETT. —WRITING LETTERS TO THE JUDGE. The plaintiff in this actien is a ship broker in the City, and the defendant carries on th e same business at Sunderland, and the action was brought to recover the sum et 21. for money lent. Defendant pleaded that ho was not indebted. The Learned SECONDARY said that in this case some person bud sent him a letter; he had not read it, but it was highly improper of any one to write to a judge on the subject of a case about to be tried before him. He should therefore hand the letter, which was at great length, over to the plaintiff's attorney to read. The plaintiff's attorney read the letter, and said it was from the defendant, but did not disclose the contents, The plaintiff's attcrny then called the plaintiff, wbo proved that he lent the defendant 21., and took his lOU. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. The plaintig's attorney applied to the Secondary to certify for costs to prevent the necessity of plain tiff going before a judge, as it had been necessary to bring the action in the superior court, for if they bad taken proceedings in the County Court it must have been at Sunderland, and plaintiff would have been at the expense of going down there; or, on the other hand, a special application must have been made to the Judge of the Sheriff's Court, Loudon, and then defendant, if ho had a defence, would have had to bring his witnesses up to London, The Learned SECONDARY said, that where there was a coecurrent jurisdiction, as in this case, he had no power to give a certificate—the application must b© made to a judge at chambers. MARKET NE WS.-(TkilS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY The show of Diglith Wheat here to-day being very limited, the demand for all kinds, although the attend ance of buyers was by no means numerous, ruled steady , at fully Monday's advance in the quotations, and a clearance was effected without difficulty. Several par cels changed hands for d e li ve ry in the ensuing week' With Foreign Wheat we were rather scantily supplied, whilst the inquiry for that article was firm, at fully pre vious rates. Floating cargoes of Wheat were in re quest; but Indian Corn was much neglected. We bad a moderato sale for Barley, at full curren cies; but Malt commanded very little attention. There was rather more doing in Oats, but no improve ment took place in prices. Beans and Peas were vary firm, and quite as dear. The demand for Flour was by no means active, owing to the large imports from the United States. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Flour Wheat. Barley. I Malt. Oats• Racks. Qrs.
