When stripped of all undue co l ouring, tie case resolves itsel f into one of the simplest an d most everyday nature. We should not, indeed, ha ve t h ought die subjhet deserving even of the most cursory comment tut that, by s ome un fortuuate twist which 13 5€1333 ' , uthanpily, peculiar to the times in which we live, h <, Le i ; nVekivgAtlOCi n to a very trumpery cause of action was considered unapt occasion for a fresh .display of intolerance. Now e really, it DP pears to us that, in the middle of the niketeenth century, a little English charity gi r l may Oahe damsges for neglect and ill-usage against the mistress of 'the esta blishment in which she was placed, wilficut any neces sity for carrying the bones of Greg.' v tthe Great or Luther the Greater in rival processieni : ... t our Streets?. It would bo sad indeed, and would constitute a most hu miliating accusation against our English courts of justice if it could be supposed that, simultaneoady with the in vestigation of any disputed question betteen two English subjects, there is to be an ancillary ingest into the reli gious opinions of the parties, and that th e ver di ct i s to depend not upon the resu l t of the first, bit of the second inquiry. It is under these circumstance that the action for damages at Guildford has assumet something of undue proportion. Why was it that th court for three days during which the trial lasted was crowded to a point which is never witnessed except when a cause celebre is under discussion? Simply becuse the specta tors supposed that their curiosity woul he gratified with some awful disclosures as ht the tughness of the Roman Catholic shinbones of beef, or with some ter rible revelations as to the thinness of th, Roman Catho lic beer which had been set before the young ladies at the Convent of Our Lady at Norwood. They expected a rich entertainment of winking picture--iron fetters— and indecent catechisms. If such choiu subjects of in terest were not forthcoming their intginations were quite ready to fill up the lacuna in thetvidence, and to clear at one bound the distance that nuOtt separate the court-house at Guildford from the dungons of the In quisition. Happily the jury took anchor view of the duties of their position, and confined ttemselves solely t 1 the merits of the case, and the evid eice produced on either sid e . It wou ld, indeed, have beens disheartening prospect for the future tranquillity of the empire if a well-founded opinion should get abroad but the gamin's • Roman Catholic subjects had _anything bat justice to fear from the verdict of an English jay. Again and again, and whenever an opportunity ma: offer, we shall bold ourselves bound to urge it upon t ie cons id erat i on of all Protestant zealots who might be deposed to strain the law against those of their fellow-subjets -who profess another creed, that their own 'vantage paint lies in the most rigidedherence to the law of thetand. By men of more generous temperament and• mire enlightened mind we are well aware that such an argument will be spurned as unworthy, they will be just flr justice sake— not out of mere policy and forethouget. We do not write for them, but for those more fury spirits who might be disposed to lose sight of every ulterior consi deration in the fanatical paroxysm of the moment. Let them consider that there is but one effectvo arrow in all their quivers when they would aim a shat at an aggres sive emissary of the Roman Propaganda and that arrow is the law of England. Let them be healfal how they fray its feathers or 'blunt its point. Caidinal Wiseman would chuckle unctuously over the report of any trial which had gone against his co.religioriste, from the mere theological prejudices of an Engliah jury. We will not venture to suggest the excess of deight into which so great a blunder would throw the more Hibernian tem perament of Dr. Waal°, what bad Latin he would quote, what saltator y performances he wo uld execute in conjunction with his chaplains, according to the fashion of his country. Happily, however, we are saved from such calamities. The Guildford verdict, backed, as' it will be, by the full weight of public opinion, may suffice to show our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects that there is one thing for which Englishmen care more than for a theological triumph, and that is—justice. They must not, then, be surprised that, if on any future occa sion, it should turn ouG that members of their Chum? priests or laymen—have violated the law, such offenders are visited with the full penalties of that law, and with the full measure of public indignation. For bad, they will be dealt with as their Protestant 1 fellow subjects subjects are dealt with--nothing better, an d uug worse. Now a few words on the case itself. Th e brother a , t goo , o ll r w o for l w . of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Gibraltar--as it would appear from the summing-up oecetetieustioeJerrie—how an illegitimate daughter, Henrietta Griffiths, who has now attained the age of fifteen years. C ar di na l Wiseman. aas t a friend of the parties, und er t oo k to look after the 0211 ? , and, finally, caused her to be placed at a nun nery in i as which children are edu ca t e d , which is known ' " Convent of Our Lady of N orwood. " Ts this establish ment the young lady boarders are required toloW etit per annum, the orphan inmates; 121. The g irl l i n rietta Griffiths, on her first appearance at the coven the latter end of 1849, bore every a ppearance el se, strongly marked scrofulous habit. She vats, placed on the orphanage class, and submitted .th e to.t. same regulations as the other girls similarly situated. These regulations appear to us stern and harsh enough' but for the purpose of this inquiry we are bound 1 ~e l c)w ere strict ourselves to the one point-;-were theY --1 absolutely they not so harsh and so strict as t o be ab " the prejudicial to health ? On this point we have diaal positive evidence of Dr. Chapm a n, . the e . a... 0 attendant to the establishment, that in his bad all the children at the Norwood Conroe,: d eo . remarkably healthy —and that not one death " This curred Ellice his connexion with the establishment' ?Air is the general statement. With reference to the culler case, we find that as soon as Henrietta Gn .of 0111:. supposed to be actually ill, she was at once , a ppose the doctor's care, and ho had ne reason to - "Now, that his recommendations were not attended to. ifectly the complaint was, that although it might be P t l t 3 e phy ttue that the girl was placed at once under ai d to eician's care, yet that his directions, with leeer, treatment, were not obeyed.

DAILY NEWS.— Tye --- Guildford Anizes have heart which three d a y s of the r N o rwood Nunnery ease—on • 4 7 AUGUST 9, 1852. to 't i t il ti2 the fi d rs d t i wasted —turns out to a very 4, shabby affair.

TO which they believe to issue—for it was no better •is raising of a feigned diet Of a jury that might be in order to obtain a ver would, in the most favourable tuned to other account unwarrantable trifliog with the circumstances, have been when the evidence is examined, it time of the court. But stretch of charity to suppose that really requires a large co nceive it sufficient to substantiateany third party could nextion with this muet be keptin the case. A n d i n coa markable faots. In the first plae,, view two rather re the aunt of the girl Griffiths, upon whose evidence was not subpoenaed. It is allegead g i oo d d deal depended, °fah° prosecution, that .as it was understood nindeed, on the part attend, the formality was thettirht she would unnecessary. Such a plea oa the part of professional men inadmis sible. The omission to subpeeea this is utterly . vsitness does look like contivance at her evasion. Again, the ea ' g of, the names of Cardinal Wiseman and D dorsle . A chilli on the same subpeena, does look very like a gratuitous h in s.ult—corroborating the suspicions that the olethrn oe the proceedings excites as to nnderhand w a mainte nance." Mr. Montagu. Chambers attempted .to el this away by - stating that six witnesses having explain be ain summoned for the prosecution, four were put in subpeents and two. in the other. This only makes one mat ters-worse. Since there were two subpoenas, common civility required that Cardinal.Wiseman and Dr. Aehilli should not be put in the same one. The conjunction of their names was simply a piece of vulgar bravado. It does not appear that Dr. Achilli could give any evidence about the matter, or that there ever was any serious intention to subpoena or examine him. On the other hand, it ought to be observed that if tho action was brought as an indirect or covert attack upon Roman Catholicism, it was met in the same spirit. The address of Sergeant Shee to the jury is simply a gloss or para phrase on the short text—We (the defendants) believe that this action has been brought with a view to excite aprejudice against our reli g ion, and to prevent its ffng this end, we meet the allegations upon which it rests with a point-blank denial. This is fair and manly; but having taken up this ground, why did his Eminence Cardinal Wieesean.snesk out of the way? We have frankly admitted that the conjunction of his name with that of Dr. Achilli' in the same subpoena can only be re garded in the light of a wanton and vulgar insult. But that is no reason why he should keep out of the way to escape a regular and legal citation to appear as a witness in a court of justice. This, unless we are much mistaken, is not the first instance in which the Cardinal has contrived to evade a a scittion to appear as witness in an English core of law; lino of conduct which he may flatter himself is simply an assertion of priestly privileges, but w hi c h . adopted to necessarily inspires Englishmen •with suspicions that it is escape the necessity of making inconvenient disclosures. Cardinal Wiseman may rest assured th at ever y intelli g ent Englishman— whatever be the c hurch of which he is a member—will dignified reproof of his conduct pro acquiesce, in the flounced by Chief Justice the Chief Justice), in Jervis:— "It was his pain ful duty (said the last county where the assizes were held, to observe with some 'degree of severity upon the conduct of a clergyman of the Established Church, who had forbid den a . person to appear as a witness. He had ex pressed disapprobation. —strong disapprobation—of that conduct, and the same measure of cetsure he thought Cardinal Wiseman was deserving of; because it was the bounden duty of every man not to set himself up as judge of whether r no he could assist in t he adminis tration of justice, b ut to be obedient to the process of the law, even although it might be inconvenient to him, and though he might think he knew nothing o e importance connected with the case. One other indication of the manner in which the defence was got up deserves to be noticed also. It was stated by the witnesses that three priests (one of them not belonging to the convent) had accompanied the girls belonging to the orphan class to Guildford. One of these witnesses (Elizabeth Bedsar) swore that she had seen the priest who came down with them on the morn ing of her examination, bet had not spoken to him ; another witness (Mary Anne Barton) swore that" the witness Bedsar had spoken to the priest that morning." As to the real merits of the case, they lie in a nutshell. There appears to be no reason to suspect the girl Grif fiths of having deliberately and intentionally sworn to falsehoods ; and yet it is apparent that her evidence contains many things that have no foundation in fact. Her health appears tolee thoroughly undermined by scrofula ; and it is no uncommon circumstance to find the minds of persons so affected and weakened, and their dispositions irritated to a degree that makes them view every act of intentional or unintentional harshness in an exaggerated light, and conjure up visions of enmity and perse cution, which they receive as substantial truths. With respect to the ladies in establishment, not a shadow of • • spicion rests upon them of intentional cruelty. The suspicion to benevolent. But at the 3 . , appear to ocean be same time it may be doubted whether they possess that solidity of judgment 'and com mand of temper requisite to enable them to become what they intend to b e . Like most of their class they have learned to attribute undue importance to certain petty formal observances, and tobe exacting in requiring com pliance with th em — at the detrimental e ff ec t it times overlooking in their zeal may produce on weak constitu tions. Speakin g w i t h appear to us to have been p a er eat impartiality, there does the lood deal of not unskilful fencing in the evidence ofthree ladies examined. It was very difficult to g e t direct and explicit answers from them on several • Henrietta Griffiths had onceoints* It was admitted that at least been subjected to the punishment of the " We could elicit by whose ordersshe class," but no questions the exact length of time she had been punished, or great was subjected to it. The Superior professedinterest and affection for the girl, yet admitted that was glad to get her out of the establishment, and confessed that she had had recourse to a manoeuvre to prevent the• aunt from accompanying her niece to the oculist. Miss Forbes - more frankly con fessed that she had ' no great liking for the girl, who "never . inspired me with confidence." Miss Forbes admitted that she believed Henrietta "at one t* not enough of meat;" and that if a child shouldunneegl had to go to confession, she " would•probabl order • 'act y it to undergo a sli ght penance." On the h w ole enough was admitted by these well-meaning but weak women, to warrant the conviction, that though no wanton cruelty was exercised on Henrietta Griffiths, she was subjected, from superstitious motives, to a discipline too trying for one of her infirm health. This, coupled with the rather startling admission of " there are generally about thirty children in delicate health," ' in an establishment which numbers not much more than a hundred—childand ren adults together— ought to induce its humane supporters to require more detailed information respecting the pure ed system u .in it than has been elicited ou the trial.

As ,w theeig hhinegav2isngcw-itn. 131 b., against Lieutenant Rodgers' Exhibition prize anchor, total weight24ee 7 tc proceeded, it became evident to the practised eyes of the committee that there had been some tampering with the tackle. An immediate examination calmed, when it was discovered that some flint stones had been placed in the threefold purchase blo"ck, effectually choking it, pre venting at the same time the purchase-falls working the sheaves, and lessening most materially the strain on Rodgers' anchor. As soon as the obstruction was re moved, Lieutenant Rodgers' anchor came home rapidly. The men's dinner hour having arrived, the operations were suspended, and the committee retired to Captain- Superintendent Hope's to partake of luncheon. On their return the heaving-in process was resumed, when almost immediately it was discovered that the same block had been again fouled, though in a different manner, yet as effectually as in the former instance, rendering it unfit ' for further service; it was conse quently rccoved, and another one affixed to the purchase. Notwithstanding these adverse circumstances, Aylen's anchor came home 17ft. 2in. only, Rodgers' Exhibition Prize having dragged 25ft. tin.—a superiority of the former over the latter so manifest as to render further testing unnecessary, in which opinion all parties were unanimous. The must interesting trial of the present series now took place between the two great rivals for su p eriorit y of holding power—viz , Trotman's (improved Porter's) and Efilniball's (Porter's) ancho rs. In the former trials at the dockyard these proved sup erior in holdin g quali ties to Mitcheson and Son's, Rodgers', Lennox's, the new Admiralty, and American anchors. They were again pitted agai nst each other, the com petition causing the most inten se interest, and which resulted in Trotmates bringing home Honiball's some 49ft. 6in. Mr. Trotman's anchor partakes in a great mediate action of the arm P • o f porter 0.

SOLITHAmpToN, SUNDAY. —This neagnificent steam ship, which was originally laid down and guilt 'for the British and North-American Mail Company, and after wards purchased by the' Royal Mail Company, in con sequence of the unfortunate stranding of the Demerara at Bristol, and the awful destruction of the Amazon by fire in the Bay of Biscay, in January last, ar r i ve d i n the Southampton waters yesterday afternoon from the Clyde. When she was dsseried rounding Calshot Castle, about four o'clock, intense intetes:, was excited, and numbers of persons soon congregated to witness her arrival. On approaching the Itcheu Creek, She was passed by the Tay, also belonging to the same company, whicn was dropping down to the West India Buoy, off flythe, pre paratory to starting for the Brazils to-morrow. The re lative proportions of the two vessels at this juncture were extremely manifest, the Tay, notwithstanding her colossal dimensions, uppesring to great disadvantage in comparison with her gigantic compeer. It being high water r the Le Plata went direct into the tidal dock-,-and was moored without the slightest diffi ctilty. She swept gracefully throilOf the entrance, the river ItChen at ails point being sufficiently wide for ves sels of•almosf -any tonnage to turn with facility. .The La-Plata, in appearance, is not so heavy or built sr) much of man-of-war faehion as the new steamers rece ntly added to the Royal Mail. Company's fleet, and 1e rig is altogether much lighter.. • ' On a cursory glance the spectator can scarcely Imagine the La Plata to be of the enormous size her dimensions indicate; bat on, getting aboard, this illusion at once vanishes, and he is impressed with the extraordinary space, convenience, &c. The dimensions of the vessel are 285 feet long, by 40i broad, and 27 feet deep, exclusive of the deck-house, which is seven feet high, extending the whole length of the ship. She is 'propelled by two engines, manufac tured by Napier, of 939-horee power, with 103 in c h es diameter of cylinder, being the largest ever made. The La Plata is 2,402 tons, but this being exclusive of the deck-house, and adjuncts, she may be said to approxi mate to 3,000. She has bat two masts, a circumstance which somewhat detracts from her appearance, and her funnels, two in number, are placed at a reasonable die tepee from each other. It was rendered imperative to have two, i n consequence of the b o il ers having been fixed are of before and ab a f t t h e eng i nes . Th e furnaces,which immense *Lae, are opposite each other—that is, face to face; hut notwithstanding this the engine-room is admirably constructed. Indeed, such a free circula tion of ai r ex i sts this department, that the tempera ture of th e room is notbeyond that of similar places in vessels of smaller construction- The eel:e ship aon- The paddl e - w h eels of those of tee O ap r p ir e l a cc r o to or b m e somewhat less in diam eter than, and lighter alt og e t h er. The internal fittings cf thyis have not the patent floats. ex treme, but still su c h a regard this vessel had in respect to are rich in the neatness, that they h ave not a gaud main saloon, which is b e l ow the deck-house h a ppearance. The lse before men tioned, or rather on the ma i n d ec k , is apartment, and arranged with every degreea magnificent apartment, comfort and elegance. It is 6 2 feet long, and 20 b ra abundance of head room, or height—a rarity but seldom with met with in vessels of this size. There are two rows of dining tables, extending from end to end , and takin g th e cross tables at the top into consideration, 200 persons can, therefore, dine with the utmost c - eifort. At the lower end is the pantry, or steward's department, from which the dishes, wines, &c., can be conveyed into the saloon without the slightest delay. Over the dining tables are shelves, or dumb-waiters, which, by means of screws attached to the ceiling, can be raised or lowered at pleasure, either by the passengers or waiters. In these are conveniently placed, without fear of dis arrangement, even in a gale of wind, glasses, carats, cruets, &c., of every description, so that a passenger can at once help himself when a waiter is not at hind. The plate, or, rather, plated articles, is of the very beet manufacture, and liberally supplied. The saloon, in addition to everything necessary for the comfort and convenience of the passengers, is gorgeously fitted up. The panels are of the finest birds'- eye maple, highly polished and beautifully inlaid with ebony, contrasting very prettily with the light appear ance of the former. At equal distance, mirrors, with rich burnished gold frames, are hung, and these with the crimson Utrecht velvet covering of the sofas, silk hangings of the windows, &c., impress the beholder with the idea that he is lounging in a drawing-room. The ladies' cabin is below, and is a recherche boudoir. The panels are of plate glass ' and contain enamel paint ings of fine subjects, painted by the most talented ar tists; they are principally scenes in England, America, and the West Indies, many of which can be at once re cognised. The wood-work of the room is of solid satin wood, and the hangings of the "finest French silk damask, whilst the coverings of the sofas and settees are of Utrecht, and of a rich crimson colour, but plain. Ad joining this cabin are numerous state-rooms, fatted up with every- convenience for the accommodation of the female passengers; but they are so arranged that they can in a short space bo easily convertea into sleeping berths for gentlemen, without trenching on the privacy of ladies in other cabins. The gentlemen, in addition to a superb lounging room, have a smoking apartment, far removed from the principal saloon and ladies' cabin, fitted for their especial use. Their sleeping berths run parallel of either side of the principal saloon, and are of excellent dimensions, being not less than eight feet square, and of good height. If her running from the Clyde to Southampton be any criterion of the speed of the La Plata, she will prove a clipper. Her engines performed 16 r It . a for a u 1011 s, 4/1 a time 17. She left Liverpoo I at 2,30 leer. on Friday, and arrived, as before stated, at Southampton yester day atternoon, d o i ng the entire distance in 36 hours only, notwithstanding she encountered fresh head winds, ' almost amounting to agale, St George' s Channel. She steamed the wh o l e of the * way, with a alight ex ception, and averaged, i t is stated, 121 knots thro ug hout. breeze she did not relax in speed, and was very stiff rolling.

It being, however, very desirable that the practice with these improved arms should be extended beyond the individuals in whose possession they may, in the first instance, have been placed, the Ordnance Department will be prepared to issue a further special and similar allowance to corps stationed in certain localities where there is ample range for practice, on requisitions for warded through this department; but such additional portion must, in all cases, bo deducted from the estab lished annual supply of ordinary prrctico ammunition.
