HARBISoN V. PAIN—BREACH OF PROMISE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Amongst the witnesses examined was a professional gentlemen, who proved that the plaintiff had suffered severely, mentally and bodily, in consequence of the abrupt termination of the detendanCs addresses. PHINN addressed the jury in mitigation of da mages. Ha would not impu:e the slightest impropriety 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 C ounsel ) 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 feeling towards, the defendant of" with all thy faults, I love thee still. The Learned C ounse l for the plaintiff has spoken j to that point, and it w as now only a question for the ury t? assess the damages. Both the plaintiff anddefenda-. wen equal circum stances as to respectability, but the defendant's circum stances had been much exaggerated. The jury retir ed, and on their return into court gave a verdict for 5001. 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 It appears certain that the Bill on public instruc tion has been withdrawn.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 could 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 The Bill which has just been withdrawn would re store that action ; and in order to gain the support of the clergy an exception was made in their favour. The project, however, was sure to be defeated, and has been withdrawn, at all events, for a year. Yet 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 point in consequence of pub lic opinion being so strongly in favour of economy generally, but particularly with reference to the army. The reduction of the army would no doubt be taken as a stronger proof of pacific and moderate intentions than all declarations, official or otherwise. There are eight seats vacant at this moment at the Council General of the Merbihan. Five members, viz., MM. Beslay, de Gou.vello, Guyot, Lemintier de Lebelee, and' Talmont have resigned rather than take the oath required by the Constitution. Two 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 Boulevard,:and to obtain a better price, she employed a M. and Mme. Begis to find out a person to bid at the sale. This they undertook to do, and, according to Mine. Sequi a declara tions, they at last purchased the property them• selves, engaging to pay her an annuity of 3,000 f. for life. Mine. Saqui, 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 Male. Begis had never entered into any positive engage ment relative to Mine. Saqui, though it was admitted th,,t they had offered her 500 f. a year. The Court condemned the defendants to pay Mine. Saqui 2,400 f. a year tor 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 mon , bs back. Mme. Saqui, who was pre sent when the judgencnt in her favour was given, was in such agitation as to render it necessary to remove her inn) the open air. The Dibats has a long notice on the different ac counts that have ken received from Australia, stud concludes as follows : The colony of Anat.:alio 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.

The flocks of Australia furnish wool to the manufac turers of Eaglanid. Formerly, the English received their supply of wool either from Spain or from Germany; for the last 20 or 25 years they have been sup piled f rom their own colony. in 1823, Australia only seat to Eng land 120,0001t0. of wool; last year the quantity wa s 43,000,0001'05.

STAFFORD, the pro cedings of the court-martial held upon the surviving officers of the Birkenhead were ordered to be laid on the table. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Oa 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 would permit him to make some observations on the conduct of the business before the House.—(Hear, hear.) It would be remem bered that, when last they met, it was fixed that the ad journed debate on Maynooth should take place to morrow morning at twelve o'clock. Since then represen tations had been made to him by 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 also his duty, to consult the convenience of Honourable Members irom Ireland, in disposing of a matter of this nature.—(Cries of " Hear, hoar.") It wouH, however, is the present state of public business be im possible .or the Government to make any other arrange ment fur facilitating the debate after Tuesday.—(Hear, hear.) He proposed to-morrow morning to continue the Committee of Supply,_ and tomorrow evening, with the co nsent o f t h e House. he proposed to go into Committee on the New Zealand Bill.—(gear, hear.) It was his first idea to take the Committee 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 impossible fur them to attend in the morning; and in deference to them he had fixed the Committee for the evatiag. He wished now to impress upon the House the gravity of the public business that remained to be dis patched at the present period of the session. 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.) Many of the measures were intended to continue already existing laws, and although the time in which these would have to be disposed of was short, yet he did not despair, with the assistance of the House and becoming energy, of being able to complete the business without inteleering with that ulterior result which they were all aexious 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 r paramount ntcessity, he did hope that Hon. Gentlemen generally, in the motions which they might bring forward, would be iuflutnced by the same feeling.—(Hear, hear.) At present there were a variety of amendments on the paper en 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 t o give their attention to, but they were not matters of urgency or dispatch, or of that character which the House genera ll y h a d recommen ded to be di scusse d i n 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 adeanced stage of the session. He appealed to the House generally to facilitate the progress of 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 important results which the urgent Inca. sures they had brought forward were intended to pro. duce.--(lleac, hear.) Sir JAMES GRAHAM was glad to have the oppor tunity of drawing especial attention to the present state of public business. He readily admitted that some for bearance ought to be shown to the Gtovernmeet with re ference to reeking m o ti ons upon going into C omm i ttee of 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 consistent with the due and proper discharge of public business.—(Hear, hear.) It therefore appeared to him to be of paramount importance to consider wkat were the measures which it was indispensihle to dispose of in the course of the present sess i on. Just let him, then, call the attention of the Hou se to the fact that there were 27 orders of the day on the p a p er which h© held in his hand, besides four or five notice s of motion before going into Committee of Supply ; but with respect to their urgency, ho denied that they were of that character which rendered it indispensable they should be decided in the present session of Perlis ment.—(Hear, hear.) The orders of the day could be divided into branches. In the first place, there was the law. What were the questions with refer ence 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 frona the other House of Parliament after having been amply discussed, and whieh they were now called 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 Jurisdiction Bill, in reference to which not one step had yet been taken be yond introducing it to the House, and which would re quire full and careful consideration.—(Hear, hear.) There was, besides, the Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill, which stood in a similar position, and it was impossible to exaggerate the importance of any of these measures.—(Llear, hear.) Take Again the colonial branch : there was the New Zealand Bill,twhich it was pro posed to take to-morrow, when they bad Committees sit ting up stairs upon measures of urgency and importance, such as the East India Company's Charter and the laws th h e t lt releting to the good government of Ireland with refer ence to crime and outrage. Then, again, there was the other Colonial Bishops' Bill, the Bishopric of Quebec Bill, and charact:r' Other. Bills of vast importance respecting the colonies, was impossible to decide upon at this period of ism for inst and in the existing state of affairs. On the d, however, there were measures of a pressing stairs, r anewehich could not be passed over. There was, 0 , a Bill which was now being considered up which it, tss e tea as !se the subject of crime and outrage in Ire the consolidation of the White-boy Act:, (Hear, hear.) Act to be reeewed lortant should be passed this session.— here was also the Encumbered Estates had been intro du , c and a Bill of the greatest importance of navy pay, d ee d by bY the Admiralty on the subject (Hear, Leila) hick vas of a pressing character. o f Woods and l ear l e - 8 1 ,'tzt again, under the head Et n a Buitdings A ct o r hei tdlere was the ii.etropo into tee Metropolitan by a Bill of 7 9 c l auses, ail e d , cishasee, to be amended Inter ments AC' to tae amended be was under the thatimprestionby a similar Bill; although settled thin latter measure had there was th e atietio l u termer session.

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 charg e d w ith th a t mot i on h a d admitted that f or a ll pract i ca l 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 anger 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 upon it, and 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 inauiry this session. Mr. SPOONER would admit there could not be an entire inquiry —(Cheers)—but there was something else besides inquiry. Ile 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 Committee 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 tho 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 verfworst course for the pur pose of obtaining it.—(Hoar.) In regard to Supply, he considered the best mode of proceeding was for the Go vernment to appoint consecutive day s f or th e sitting of the Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it . was his intention t o s t a t e , on M on d ay next , t h e v i ew s of the Government generally with regard to the conduct of public business, and he would reserve any observations h e m i g h t h ave to ma k e in reply to the inquiries of Sir James Graham until then. He would now merely say h e did no t d es pair 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 o f S u pply, but be appealed to Hon. Members not to press any questions which had no par ticular reference to the vote under consideration. In reply to Mr. HORSNIAN, 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. MATHER. In reply to Mr. B. OSBORNE, Tho CHANCELLOR cf the EXCHEQUER said he would lay the pper3 connected with the case of Mr. Mather on the Lbio of tho House tomorrow. 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, after 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 60,5461,, 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 FON said the increase was composed of 7,857/. 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 had 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 be finished and opened to the people? Mr. RICARDO, who wore his arm in a sling, said that, as he had been put forward by the Noble Lord be low as a victim of the incompetency of the Noble Lord opposite (Manners) for the cffice which he held, he begged to say that he owed bis accident to the bad shoulders of his horse and to his own clumsiness, and not to the stat 3 of the road on which he war riding. Lord J. MANNERS said that he was taking all the means in his power to hasten the formation of Battersea park, so fast as the different plots fell in. (LEFT SITTING.) Art. 29.

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 say how many feet above the earth? Madame Saqui ! Marvellous, indeed, were the wonders of Vauxhall ! The millions of lights that made dim the very story-books, and gave to childhood an actual knowledge, a breathing experience of glories and effulgences, that made even Sin bad pour and colour less. Tne 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 Saqui—having, like a spider, run a long thread of life—jumped to the ground full of ready money. She had foregone the rope, and resolved to walk the earth, when— ,‘ Her brother," says the Parrie— " Who was the manager of the Roam Theatre, was on the point of becoming bankrutot, with debts amounting to 600,000 E, 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 a way, but somehow not dancing fortune back to her. However, she managed to save some 30,0001. in Spain; but as Spaniards rarely suffer so much to leave their country, she was stripped by banditti—by fellows who deserved every inch of the rope by which the money 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 years upon her head!— dance amidst showers of fireworks—but there is a halo of goodness brighter than Bengal lights, more radiant than "golden drops." Granted, it may b© possible to find selfishness even upon a throne. May it not be equally possible to behold self-sacrifice even upon a rope? 2V/CE..T MAIRMETB.

(Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prins, in Trinity Term, before Mr. Baron PARKE and Common Juries.) rAnx.Es V. MAYER. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. H. A. Simon con ducted the case 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, Bedford row, but had some time Once failed for a sum of 45,000/. On the Ist of July, 1831, 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 be was known, to discount for him. This application, how , ever . , was ref use d, es b e i ng con t rary 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, iu Great Queen -street, Lin coln's In n -fi e ld s, at t h e moment supposing that the former had a good account at the b. .ink, 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 acceptances by different persons, one for 120/., 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 101. The plaintiff, however, having obtained the 501., did not again visit the defendant, as bad been agreed upon. Upon this a correspondence was opened between the parties, the defendant demanding the repayment of the 50/., 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 404 bill was a, terwards recovered. It happened that as the defendant was walking alon g cheap_si , l e on th e 4 t h o f O cto b er he met the P-ainiitY, whereupon he gave hi m into custcdy upon a charge of h av i ng o b ta i ne d money f rom him under false pretences. This was on the Saturday; and on the Monday, having been brought up before the magistrate, the case was dismissed, upon the ground that the false pretences had not been established. The pre sent action was therefore brought to recover compensa tion for this imprison ment, 1,0004 and the damage s were l a id a t transaction, and a d ded that he banked at the Royal Bit h aving been call e d, p rove d t h e or i g i na l plaintiff transaction,and th a t h e had applied to Mr. Barnard, chiefth r e l'isell cashier, who eventually gave him a card of intro duction to the defendant. Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—At the time of his application his account was overdrawn 121., which ba lance against bias had not, up to the present moment, been diminished. Ho had not told the defendant that the clerk at the bank would endorse the bills. Of that fact was quite c erta i n, and would swear it. He had deposited he some shares with the defendant as a sort of security. These shares he had purchased of a M r . Pace, but ho had not paid for them. He gave a bill for them, which had not been paid. The bills ho had deposited with the defendant were bills which had been accepted for his own accommoda tion, and they had not been honoured.

In the course of his pro fessional transactions large sums had come into his pea i° but bad n ot afterwards been forthcoming when required by the parties. Hence the large amount of his liabilities. Further evidence was given to prove the custody and the dismissal of the ease by the Lord Mayor. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant in a very able speech, commenting in terms of great severity on the conduct of the plaiutiff, who, having once been in a respectable practice as an attorney, had subsequently existed on his r uined reputation, and by practising frauds ou the unwary. ti a would leave the matter in the hands be he jury, by of t whom he felt assured due justice would done.

The princ- r — objections of Mr. Gladstone were that the pro could h served. Th -- “e prohibition had been served by an officer of the court up on Mr. Gladstone, and in due accordance Bishop had not been duly and properly however, asked Todd ' /ven t ee the 17th of January last, being a Satur- ' day, to T Long -acre Chapel , and made an attempt to serve gentleto r a ' n's request.

So far as the Bishop called his license a license at p lea sure, he (Dr. Spinks) denial The license of the Bishop allowieg Mr. Gladstone to officiate was not a license at pleasure, and to be revoked with out good caus e ass i g ned, but was to all intents and purposes full and without limit. a license in of the 4 , Ei il Rear. Fer , r God,' instead of sc p g w V. . ' athiar most whi eh was important worded obj ection a sti, t oe in God." No doubt this was a clerical error, but so far as the Court 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 anti-Christ, and was the epithet formerly applied to the Bishop of Rome, as appeared from Gregory's Deere • tals, where the title given to the Pope was Dominus Deus foster pater. It was 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. SPINKs had no more to say upon it if the appear ance bad cured the objection; but he submitted that, for its own sake, the Court must t a k e cogn i zance o f it. Th e citation had 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 from 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, bad 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 tbis 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 25th 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. Those circumstances ought to have been pleaded in order to constitute a charge of disobedience to his Lordship. The apparitor in his evidence merely stated 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 not 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 question of conscientious duty; he thought that the bishop h a d assume d 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 difference between never having received a license and a license 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 Oughton. Proprietary chapels were recognised in the Church Discipline Act, although it was pleaded that Mr. Gladstone was w i thout preferment, and this pro ceeding must bo 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 v. 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 ease 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 me 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 grievcus 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 positive 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 down in Gregory's " Decretals," a bishop could not suspend a clergymen without giving him a trial. It had been said that proprietary chapels wore unknown to th e l aw, for that the ministers had a nondescript title, and that was the reason why they were under the arbitary power of the bishop; but he contended that the law w as so expan sive in its nature that its circle enlarged by th e applica tion of principles to particula rs. There was a c l ose ana logy between the office of preacher and l ecturer and tie minister of an unconsecrated chapel . all cases t e license was the same; it was ant admission o f t h e qualification of t h e party, and s _a e bishop h a d no power over th elicense granted to th a lectureship, so tee had no power o ver that grane ion t p e p d lic to st a minister ad he been an unconsecrated chapel. Where made for a mandamus to compel a bi s h op to grant a license it had heen invariably refused, but there were no cases in the books, either here or at common law, where the question had been raised and discuss e d as to whether the bishop revoke p e a a hlicense.aen t he In the 11th art i c l e o f Archbishop could Laud's as charged with orthodox preachers, to whi c h silencing he replied that he had not done it except upon just cause proved in court, and according to law--a pr 4 o 7 ot_that he did not claim the right. Oughton gave 4 forms of' proceeding, but not a single form for revoking a license. That was a strong negative argument._ Ayliffe gave a long c h a pter on suspension, but he never s p o k e of the power as being exercised arbitrarily and without process. The ion in Mr. Gla one's ca se was, in fact, suspen- T sp fi sio us n ab ens officio et bane d cio , he promoter must prove that he had power to prohibit a clergyman from doing duty throughout the whole of the diocese, as was at.. in this case, tempted and, unless he did, the instrument was bad, for it could not b e good in part and bad in part. (" Rex v. Page," 5 East, 343.) The evidence given by the apparitor afforded a strong argument that the Power now c l a i med by the Bishop was against public policy. He stated that he attempted to serve the instrument on Sunday morning just before the service, whereas the Legislature had passed a law to prevent tbe arrest of a clergyman on his way to do duty. There had been no Witness examined to prove that there was any report or fame against Mr. Glad stone; yet it was expressly laid down in " Gregory's Decretals" that a bishop could not proceed without it. The service of the instrument was proved by one 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 18th. It was served by an ap paritor of London in the diocese 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 had 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 ho appeared. Dr. BAYBORD, in reply, said that he hoped the Court would scrutinize 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 first 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 a c ti ng without authority the temporal courts would have said that there as no crime for which to proceed. Theornis Ilion of the occurred . in the recit a l o f the let ters of request, a Would be go . ing 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. Gentleman being cited out of the diocese; but he contended that he had b duly cited according to the req u i rements of the een Discipline Act. This was a court of appeal, Church and its ju risdiction extended throughout the province. It was impossible to cont en d successful] held preferment i n the diocese that of London. The Bishop had given notice to Mr. Gladstone of the revocation of his license, and he cl . imme lately entered a f orma l p rotest , denying th e r i g h t of the Bishop to do it, and then, on the following Sunday, conducted the service as usual. What necessity was there f or a comm i ss i on to inquire me he performed the service on that d ? Mu -h had been said ay 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 to revoke the license. It had been said that there was no proof that the instrument had been served with the knowledge and under the directions of the Bishop; but for what p ur p ose did hi s L or d sh i p put his han d to it an d affix his seal, if he did not i nten d i t to b e delivere d ? " Barnes v. Shore" the pro cee di ngs took P1"o on the assumption that Mr. Shore was s till a clergyman; the 1852. ( case, therefore, was not open to the distinction which had been drawn. In " Hodgson v. Dillon" it was said that the judgment was b.se.tl on a fallacy, but before he could assent to that stat tnent he 111Glii; hear stronger grounds than had been urged by his Liarned Friend. That decision merely carried out the pieciple which had been adopted in other cases. In eri uaen dewed lectureshie there was no reason why the bishop should not withdraw the license if he deemed it neces sary. Archbishop Laud said ho never punished without good cause, and Mr. Gladstone would not be punished unless there was ground shown for it. The tact thee °tighten gave no form for revoking a license only proved that no form was required. In "Freeland V. Neale," a private letter from the bishop was held to be sufficient. The Duke of Portland, as ley rector, cited a clergyman to bring in a license granted by the bishop, The statements made as to the t ff-et which would be produced on Mr. Gladstone by revoking the license 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 licen s e, fi rs t 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 I clergyman could not be arrested when going to church, but he (Dr. Bayford) believed that if the officer had been conteni; 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 bo 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 was 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 officiatine 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 on 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 today heard the bailed cases. William Daykin, William Blackmore, and Charles Dobson were charged with assaulting three constables 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. Herman's-hill, Westminster, with a crowd of people collected round, on the night of the 16th of May, end the policeman went up to put a stop to it. Shipp, one of the policemen, went up and took Dobson in custody, when Daykin attempted to rescue him with some of the mob, and got 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 the tops of the houses. During the affray Daykin assaulted the other policemen, and Blackmore struck orie of them with a bludgeon on the head. He became ins ens ibl e f rom the blow, and Shipp 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'llitixic said that he should call a witness to prove that one of the policemen struck la 3 kin on the head before he interfered at all, and that this unprovoked assault on him made him commit the offaic:3 he was charged with. He then called Marianne Florent, who state d that. seeing a crowd, she went up to see the row. Dobson was fighting, and was taken into custody. Dsykin was e•tarJ(itug b), and only asked the policeman to let the man go quietly and he struck him over the head with his statf. Daykin asked him what he did that for, and,;hit him again, and she then 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 police, and had also had two months' imprisonment for breaking a plate glass shop window in Oxford -street. In 1849 he bad twelve months' imprisonment for "ringing changes" at Wool wich (this, he explained, was getting change at a shop, subs ituting 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 he had just received. He then sentenced Dsykin to eight months', Blackniore to four months', and Dobson to two months' imprisonment with bard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTAIINb'TEk. The public sympathy, at all times alive to cases of distress, has been considerably excited with regard to 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, he had left her at Liverpool to go to a furnished house ho had taken for her at Brompton, 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 for herself and children and the temporary shelter of a roof to a poor la bouring in named Gibbons and his wife, who had known her in her prosperity. Although she had re ceived affectionate letters from her husband, %she 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 unanswered. She referred the magis trate to the solicitor of her husband's family, who trans mitted the income of his estate, and declared le r con duct as a wife to have be en most exemplary. There was a speciousness of manner coupled with her appearance, which, added 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 ef Thursday last, and on the following day, in consequence of certain communications the public a ere cautioned against contributing any thing to the ref ef of the applicant until further inquiries had been 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 bad 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 occasions herself procured cordials fur her. Although a drinking woman, her hostess had been Very kind to her, and had afforded her children shelter. Mr. ARNOLD intimated that ho had heard applicant was in the habit of drinking, and received the visits 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 poor 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. p M a r g . e ARNOLD replied that inquired hie had what ee e n h h e e knew n o e n w she o ev f e hr fell a out er l .o of the o ccasions drunk; on one o c ca s ion s o drunk that s door of the Globe public•house, at Chelsea.

Mr. ARNOLD said the irquiry was a very painful one, and asked whether she wished to make any reply to it.
