Ws read in the illogiteur—" Dispatches have reached Paris, dated the 30th ult., from the admiral in comtnand of the Mediterranean squadron, which announce the settlement of the differences which had called for the presence of the squadron before the walls of Tripoli. Two French deserters, it will be recollected, had taken refuge in that place, and it was endeavoured to compel them to embrace Islamism. They refused, and invoked the protection of the French consul-general, who claimed them. One of Mem succeeded in reaching the consulate, but having been closely watched, he was, w hen leaving it, pursued 1J) , the crowd, and cruelly ill treated. Tee Turkish authorities only interfered to put him and his count Ale in prison, where they were detained in spite of tai? energetic remonstrances of our consular agent. Suclb manifest violation of the law of nations could not he tolerated. On the 27th ult. the French squadro:a left Toulon for Tripoli with ordees to have the two prisoner:: given up, or to de stroy the town. O n the '2Bth the squadron an chored bef re the place, and a communication took place between the admiral at]d the cons u l. general. The F u ton. left for the interior at the nt of the affair. A summon s was very commencnne immediately sent to t he mudir cc.mmanding th e p l ace to give up the pris oners b y sunrise the following day at the latest. At Eaven o'clock in the morning of the 29th no answer having been ret urne d , the consul genera l struck his &Jig and went on b oard the admi ral's ship, f.,,A0 wed oy several Christian families of different rations, who were received on board the vessela of the squadron. The merchant vessels at anchor in the port hauled out of the range of shot. Th e squedron we ateut to teen its fire after sending a second summons to the mudir, when et nine o'clock toe admiral was in that the two deserters were ahcut to be given lap, and at four o'clock an agent of the mudir brouglat then-. on b - iard the admiral's ship.

It is stated in a letter from Athens that a Greco- French company has made propositions for establish ing a riiiway from Athens to the Pirmas. This will be the far.it railway in Greece. EXPERIMENTAL TRIP TO PARIS. On .Saturday last an interesting trip took place for the purFose of ascertaining the practicability of effect ing an improved system of communication between London and P3.T13 by way of Dieppe. On the map this route is evidently the shortest, forming nearly a straight line, through Newhaven, Dieppe, and Rouen, from the one metropolis to the other. Hi therto this route has been little used, mainly on account of insufficient steamboat accommodation across the Channel, and incomplete arrangements for connecting the London rad Brighton Railway on one side, with the Paris, Rouen, and Diepp e line on the Other. During the greatly increased traffic of 1851 the di• rectness of this route, and its cheapness, attracted crowds of passengers, but the steamboat and harbour arrangements were found to be such as called for dacided improvement, in order to render it perma nently a favourite with the public. Since that time m the attention of pra c ti ca l has been a good deal efforts di r ected to the subje c t, and are now being made to place the communication on a better footing. On Sacuday morning the chairman,directors, and officers of the Paris, Rouen, and Dieppe Paris by an express train, and reached Dl•eype in three llama and a half;endon the same morning Brighton Railway c h a i rm an and officers of the London and an express ton Railway left L ondon to meet them train, with which the y reached Newh aven in less than the an hour and a half, the total railway distance being thus got over in fiv e hours, excludin g , of course, sea voyage, vallich is the chief difficulty of the route. kor the purpose of rendering this as perfect a s oa _ Bible, a new description of vessel was tried, possess ingr qualities and arrangements of an unusual kind. Instead of the close cabins down in the hold of the ship, where passengers are usually con. fined, the vessel carries her first-class passengers on dnek in a large and luxurious saloon, surrounded with plate glass windows, where they are thoroughly protected from the wind and wave', and yet enjoy an extensive view, having abundance of light and the most perfect ventilation. Owing to the peculiar construction of the vessel the motion of the sea is much less felt than in steamers generally, a result which has been accomplished by making her of un usual length. so as to prevent pitching, and by a proportion of beam and height which diminishes the rolling. With this vessel, called the Wave Queen, the Chairman of the Brighton Railway, Mr. Laing, ALP., and several other gentlemen made the passage from Newhaven to Dieppe, with a strong south westerly breeze and a considerable sea, directly on is the aeom—circums'ances regarded as , exceedingly unfavourable for the voyage—in 54. hours. It is believed, to Paris may be that the whole ro u te f rom L on d on hours, exclutla be accomplished in from 9i to 10k ca each side o e s t oppages, and that, allowing time mbarcation and debarcation, it may, with good arrang ,:, eats, be ecomoleted in from 10 to 11 hours.

Cov/bridge Hunt lO applied to Mr. Edgcombe, a ship-agent there, and received from him the assistance of a boat and two hands, in which three of the crew, namely, the mate and two seamen, returned to the ship, and this ap pearer, Archibald Dewar (the mate), further states that he, and Samuel Hatch and William M'Lazen, sea men, together with the two boatmen provided by Mr. Edgcombe, returned to the schooner, and reached her between seven and eight A.BL; that on boarding the schooner they found a coast-guard boat, with four men and an officer. The officer asked appearer by what nu thority they came on board the vessel ? The mate re plied, he had returned from Sheerness, where he had been for assistance ; and the master, who remained there on other duties, had delivered to him the cer tificate of registry of the schooner, which document he produced to the chief officer of the coast-guard; on the production of which he said he was satisfied, and lo in ye o d rd l e o rtOs unreeve sve t h t the stores running in left the vessel in charge of the appearer, Archibald De war; that appearer then gave directions to the crew and m th e e n s e arls! gear as perfecta an d unbend state as the case would admit of, knowing that a barest had been engaged by Mr. Edgcombe, and which was then coming down to receive them. She then succeeded in saving six sails. That between nine and ten o'clock, A.M., from ten to twelve vessels and boats came alongside, end the crews of which came and took possession of both masts and rigging, and immediately commenced cutting away, using sharp hatchets for the purpose. That appearer, the mate, told them not to i touch anything, as he had engaged assistance, but they still continued cutting away, and in order to avoid injury from the falling rigging and materials cut away by those persons over their heads, they were obliged to go aft for safety on the taffrail. Attempts were also made by some persons to crush or smash appearer's boat alongside, which had in it their stores. That appearer, Archibald Dewar, finding himself overpowered, sent the boat with the stores into Sheerness, and remained on board. That at about ten Ain , appearer, William Kinnear, and Mr. Edgcombe came on board, and the boatmen were cautioned that they were acting illegally—that their ser vices were not required, as preparations were made, and sufficient assistance engaged to save the property without their aid; that they replied, 'We do not care what you s ay, we shall do as we like ; we are at work for the underwriters;' that finding all remonstrance was useless, a ppearer, the master, and Mr. Edgcombe, applied to the a dsoiral's ship for assistance; and an arrangement was made for a man-of-war steamer being sent out to pro tect the property, and take charge of the stores and cargo which had been plundered from the ship; that on the approach of the man-of-war steamer, at between two and three E.M. of the 25th, the vessels which had plun dered the schooner got under weigh, and sailed towards Southend. " They were chased by the man-of-war's steamer's boats, overtaken, and two marines placed in charge of each vessel—five in number. An application was then made to the inspecting commander of the coast guard at Southend; end the vessels were delivered over to his charge by Lieutenant Bullock, R.N.' i n order that the stores might be prop erl y secured and accounted for hereafter; that on the following day part of the boats from Southend returned again to the schooner, and the crews of them cut away the masts and bowsprit, loaded their vessels with stores and cargo belonging to the schooner; and upon further application being made to the Admiral's ship, the Wildfire (steamer) was sent off to remain permanently by the schooner to pre vent further depredations being committed on her. Two vessels, with divers and apparatus on board. were em ployed for the purpose of lightening the vessel, by the discharge of the cargo; preparatory to her being raised. d " And these appeasers do prot.:st, and I, the i notary, at their request, do hereby legally hand solemnly protest against the sa id bad weather, i dents, and occurrences, and also a gainst the said boatmen frops Southend for their illegal and pirg.tical con:lnc!, in taking possession of the said schooner, and for all other loss or damage occa sioned thereby, the same being owing to the facts. and circumstances bef6rPmentioned, and not by any nelect, misconduct, or default of the said master or any of the crew of the said rehooner; the whole to be allowed ned recovered from Inch person or persons, in time and place convenient, as occasion shall be or require.

(Before Lord Chief Justice Jaavis and a Special Jury.) GRIFFITHS V. DE L'ESPINESSE AND ANOTHER. Before the court finally adjourned on Friday night, the following additional evidence was given ou behalf of the defendants. It should be stated that all the French witnesses were examined through the medium of an interpreter, but as he appeared incompetent to perform the duty in a satisfactory manner, Mr. Munster, a gentleman of the bar, volunteered his services, and he rendered aTeat assistance to the court by the very efficient man ner in which he interpreted the evidence. Madame Desirie de Brenille, known in religion as Sister Sa Theodosie, the second defendant in the :action, deposed that she succeeded Miss Leith (the last witness whose name was incorrectly printed as Smith in the report of the proceedings on Saturday) in the management of the class to which the plain tiff belonged. She remembered the presentation of the robe to Cardinal Wiseman, but she could not say whether the girl Henrietta Griffiths worked any part of it or not. She did not remember ever having told her to say that she had worked part of it. At the period the robe was presented the plaintiff was not under punishment of any kind, and on the day the Cardinal came she recollected perfectly well she was wearing a red ribbon across her shoulders as a mark sent to to would thetr ialnever claosbs. obey Id oneer offencef waisstr for her of reward. It w as in November of 1850 that the plaintiff was o firsttset This was the only time that she was punished in t he trial class. She continued to misbe have herself, and was sent to work in the kitchen, and m - .s seT Raying ha she came out on the 6th of January, 1851. The mo ment it manisc that her eyes were affected, Dr. Cha was called in, and everything he di rected was done for her. Witness would swear posi tively that the plaintiff was never locked up in a dark room with nothing to sit upon. She was merely placed in a darkened room by the direction of the doctor, on account of the state of her eyes ; and it was quite impossible, from the arrangements of the esta blishment, that she could have been forgotten for a day and a night as she had represented. She could state positively also that the plaintiff was never punished by being ordered to perform prostration. It was not the custom for the children to perform prostration. She had seen the nuns do it, but it was always done voluntarily. The statement of the plain tiff, that when she left the convent witness told her if she said anything about what happened there she would go to hell, and that she could not be saved, was also false, and she declared that she never said any thing of the kind to her. Cross-examined—Witness might have said some thing to the child about going to confession. She remembered that the plaintiff did say to her that when she went to confession the priest took down in writ ing what she said, and she did not like it. She heard that the plaintiff had told the other children not to go to confession, because the priest wrote down what they said. Witness believed it was not true that the priest had done so. Did not remember that the plaintiff insisted upon not going to confession on this account. She was quite sure the plaintiff was never forced to go to confession. The children always went to confession of their own free will, and they had to ask witness's permission eight days before. Some of the children confessed every week, some every month, and others only went every two months. If a child should never go to confession witness would not in flict a penance upon her for not going. While the plaintiff was in the different class-rooms other chil dren were allowed to see her, except at the period when she had the chicken-pox. She was quite sure that roast meat and porter were supplied to the plain tiff by the doctor's direction; but there was a diffi culty in getting her to drink beer. They used small beer and porter in the establishment. The plaintiff would not drink the small beer and they gave her porter, and sometimes she left it, and sometimes she threw it away. Witness punished her by taking away a good mark from her for throwing away her porter. She said that she did not like it. Madame Folinot, one of the nuns, deposed that she managed the kitchen in November, 1850, and re membered the plaintiff being sent there in November, and her remaining there for some time. She helped to prepare the things for dinner, but was certainly never put to do anything beyond her strength, or that was likely to injure her health in any manner. Cross-examined—Was quite sure that she never fainted away in the kitchen while witness superin tended there. The plaintiff certainly was not a strong child, and she frequently complained o f bein g ill. She was in th e kitchenfr om nine at night. She had her dinner by herself in the kitchen, and was not allowed to speak to any of the other children, Madame Armant Dezier, the „cook, deposed that s t s u eah c i h a a t h : ' while the plaintiff was under her she did nothing but washing at all plates and going into the vegetables,the hard cutting and preparing plaintiff a h i a n r c d ff work v never rf complainedt he kitchen garden t l i i l g e h ra t. . vi ° t s o rl : l f e e v il er h y er ti t r , e ) d sic down r her, a l n but she frequenly wits done by herself.

GLASS, &c.—ln n o case were we more pleased than in tae many new inventions in glass, introduced by Messrs.

All who keep dairies are greatly indebte d to Captain Stanley Carr and other gentlemen for their ende avours in bringing this cleanly material before the consideration of the society and the public at a chen per price ; And we think much credit is also due to .; etessra. Cogan and Co., for the readiness with wEa .h they adopt any really useful and practical sug gest: ion. On looking at the German pans, recom meaded by Captain Carr, and now imported by this hone e, we perceive they are made of bottle glass, souiewhat deeper, though of smaller diameter, than the English ones generally used, and are sold at 21e. per doz., instead of 365. English pans were also shoa,rn, of the same size and price, of the light green meta ,1. Stout pans, made of plate glass in its roti;h state, and now reduced to the same price, ap pear to us more durable, being the same sub!,tence throughout.

PIRACY AND GOLD 0,OBBERY• (From the Melbourne Argus of April 3.) Yesterday morning (April 2), at an early hour, tw o boats, with muffled osrs, containing twenty-two met., araied to the teeth, proceeded from the beach at Son dridge to the barque Nelson, lying off the light house at Williams Town. This vessel, which has re contly arrived from Geelong, en route to London, had. on board 8,183 ounces of gold. Not wi tilstanding so large an amount of treasure was dept sited in her, no watch was kept, and the pireetes succeeded ' in boarding her, and securing two men and a boy, who were in the forecastle, bef sere they could raise any alarm. Having ( E s .. per,sed themselves over the vessel, some went aft and. seized the chief officer and a friend, together with the carpenter, who were asleep in the cabin, whi ist others employed themselves in throwing over baird all the small arms within their reach, as well as i•Je e swivel-guns mounted on the poop deck. Mr. Draper, the chief officer, received a slight wound in the 'thigh, from a shot fired by one of the robbers, before they succeeded in overpowering him and his companions., which they soon did, and having lashed their hands together, they com menced plundering the lazarette, of the position of which they appeared to be well acquainted. Captain Wright, the commander of the vessel, was ashore, and seven only of the crew remained on board. Having seclimd the treasure of which they were in search, and deposited it in the boats, they took the precaution heti ire quitting the vessel of imprisoning all hands in the lazarette, where it is difficult to conjecture how long they might have remained had they not been reler eed by a seaman, who, in the early part of the fray, during the confusion which ensued, succeeded in secreting himself, and who emerged from his hiding; place when well assured of the departure of ttie assailants. So soon as the chief officer was liberated from his confinement he proceeded to Williams Town, and gave informa tion to the proper authorities of what bad occurred. The harbour master's and water police boats were nothin g immediately manned and proceeded to sea , in the ho p e of ov srtaking th e plunderers, but they could d iscover until daylight, when they foun d one of the _boat,; ( half a mile from the beach towards St. Kilds, bran asid e on the sand tceeether with the tracks of dray wheels brought there to convey away the plunder. Another boat was found on the beach at Williams Town.

There is little to addto the daring act reference o f piney committed on board the Nelson. Yesterday morning as a compositor in our employm en t, named Mr. Masters , was proceeding to the beach, within half a mile of the hotel, at a short dist ance from the land, h e stumbled over the em p t y box es which had contained the gold, and which were concealed in the tea-tree scrub. They are now lyi ng at the watchhouse. A fancy pipe was also found close by, as well as a blue shirt, which perhaps may afford some clue to the perpetrators of this daring deed. In the hurried division of the spoil, spilt about the place, some of the gold bad been and several people were employed yesterday after. noon in carrying away the sand for the purpcse of washing it. A bag of gold dust was f ound formed a on Satur day morning, which is believe d to portion of the plunder. The following is an extract from a private letter, dated Melbourne, the 19th April : " Several persons have since been apprehended on suspicion of the robbery of the Nelson, and one man cas been committed for trial." THE WRECKERS AT THE MORE. The subjoined protest has been entered by the master of the schooner Renown (which vessel W-IS pillaged by wreckers on the Nore Sand), with a view to ulterior proceedings in the Admiralty Court : " That at iiP. ae , while steering acourse W.N.

The girls were allowed to take plenty of exercise, and in winter time, when they could not go out of doors, there was 1 a room for them to play in. The plaintiff was treated I just the same as witness herself and all the other girls were. She never heard of any of the girls being compelled to perform prostration, or of their being punished if they did not go to confession. She was never treated with unkindness in any way while she was in the convent. Witness had been placed in the trial class, and also in the kitchen, but it never injured her. She used to go to confession when she liked. Cross-examined--Was sure she had not been to confession that morning. She came to Guildford with the ladies and some of the other children. The priest came down with them also, and she had seen him that morning, but had not spoken to him. Wit ness used frequently to go to confession, but not so often as once a week. She never tried to make her escape from the trial class-room by breaking a win dow and getting out. The wound on her hand was not caused in that manner. While she was at So- mere-town she was wounded with a carving-knife by one of her companions, and the scar on her hand was the consequence. She was sent to the trial class room a second time. It W4S for disobedience to one of her mistresses. and she deserved to be sent there .—(A laugh.) She was very disobedient indeed.— (Renewed laughter.) She was very sorry to say that s he was disobedient again afterwards, and was sent a third time to the trial class. The usual practice was, for the first offence to keep them eight days in the trial class, for the second fourteen, and for the third offence twenty days. She was kept for twenty days to try to make her better. She had misbehaved her self, and had caused great scandal to her companions by refusing to kneel down in the middle of the school-room, when she was ordered to do so. If she had performed this penance well she would have been pardoned directly. She was ordered to kneel down, because she talked too much to her compa nions. She was allowed three days to consider whether she would obey the order to kneel down, and because she per s i s t e d i u re f us i ng s he was ordered to the trial class-room. It was a very common penance to be ordered to kneel down in the middle of the room. She was i n th e kit c h en f o r four weeks after this. She used to be allowed to go out to walk every day, but she could not say at what periods of the day or how long at a time. The witness here exhibited a good deal of agitation, and Mr. CHAMBERS inquired what had alarmed her. He then poi n t e d to a person s t an di ng i n front of the witness, and who was s tated to be one of the priests belonging ,Mr. to the convent, and asked her if there was any one in c our t w h o s h e was a l arme d at ? She re plied there was a person i n cour t s h e was as hamed of. Mr. CHA MBERS —I S h e s t an di ng b e hi n d me ? Wit ness—lt is not a " h e ," it is a " she."—(Laughter.) CHAMBERS inquired who it was she was asna med of ? The witness replied that it was the plaintiff, He nr i e tt a Griffiths, who she was ashamed of. Cross -Ex am i nat i on continued—Witness was in the trial class w h en th ey use d to sit facing the wall. They sat upo n a sort of low stool, and she had sat facing the wall es long as six or seven hours. . Frederica Mehony, another of the orphans, gave sim . der evidence as to the kind treatment she had re ceived d ur i ng a residence of three years in the convent. Mary Jane Hart, another orphan, said that while she was in the convent she was treated with very great kindness, and the ladies behaved to her more like mothers than anything else. She had always more food than she could exit, and she had plenty of rest and exercise. She also stated that she had taken the plaiutiff meat twice a day while she was ill, and she had seen her throw a portion of it away. Cross-examined—The plaintiff used to cot part of her dinner, and throw the rest away. She had also seen her, when she was in the porter's room, give a portion of her dinner to the poor who used to come to ',he convent for the broken victuals. She had also seen her throw away the beer that was given to her. Mary Ann Barton, another of the orphans, also said that she had been treated with every kindness since she had been in the institution. Cross-examined—Witness was now wearing a red ribbon round her shoulders, which was a mark of honour. Five or six of the girls belonging to the orphan class were down at Guildford ; three priests accompanied them, the two belonging to the convent, and a third who did not. She had seen th•a priests that morning before the Court sat. The other girls had sen them too—thEv had been together all the morning. The witness Sedssr had spoken to the priest that morning. This concluded the evidence for the defendant. Mr. CHAMBERS at ten o'clock this morning, pro ceeded to reply. He said that from the nature of the case the jury would doubtless anticipate that it would be his duty to occupy their attention for some time, but he should endeavour to confine himself as closely as possible to the question at issue, and should not detain them any longer than was absolutely necessary. In the first place he would remind them that the charges against the defendants were generally that they omitted to give the plaintiff proper food and nourishment; that they did not allow her to have sufficient rest or exercise; that they confined her improperly in a dark room ; and that they had im posed tasks and punishments upon her beyond her strength to endure, and which were injurious to her health, and had ultimately occasioned the dreadful calamity of the loss of her sight; and if the jury should be of opinion that upon any one of these points the defendants had neglected th e d u t y th e y h a d under taken to perform, the plaintiff would be entitled to a verdict. The most fearful an d s t ar tli ng part of the case appeared to him to be this. According to the etatementof the defentiantethemseives, it was admitted that f o r four o . r . five month s t h e p l a i nt iff was in a state of dangerous illness, all the m e dical men agreed in Alexander s a id t h a t w h en h e s aw her she opinion that sh e was in a dre a df u lly e maciated condi tion, presented appearanc e o f a person w ho had been starved ; and it was certai n l y a very s t r iking circum stance, tending to show that she must have been grossly negle cted while she was i n the establishment, and D t c h . e t h a t it had been proved that when she left the con vent,and w a s treated , in a proper manner, she was shortly to , noticed very be i n a state of comparative good health, her remaining eye recovered, and she was totally cured. This fact naturally raised the inquiry whether the evidence that had been brought forward for the defendants could possibly be true. It was said that the narrative of the plaintiff was a tis sue of falsehoods; but he could not help observing that it a ppeared to h im the fact he had mentioned went a great way to confirm the truth of her story. His Learned Friend, who appeared on behalf of the defendants, seemed to l ay great stress upon th e ab sence of no motive on the part of these ladies to act in the manner stated; but he did not think it was any of the part ir duty to enter into any question of motive in the present case. In th e i r own re li g i on , an d con nected with i t there were a great variety of charities of every d e scription, from the mere charity school to those of a reach higher character; and it was not at all an unusual or extraordinary matter to hear of the principas, or persons connected with them, being gull*" of some acts of misconduct towards their scholar s and the persons under their c harge ; and therefore it was not at all impossible that the sam e thing Should occur with persons pro fessing the Doman Catholic religion ; and all they had to do was to ascertain wheth er t h e f ac t was proved, and they had nothing to do with motives, good or bad, that might have suggested it. The first thing they bad to consider was, whether the story told by the bl probae one : child was a What was her story ? She said that she w as placed in th e fi rst i nstance i n thi s esta blishment, and a year's board paid for her by Cardinal Wiseman; a nd he here felt it his duty to make this observation upon the conduct of th e Cardinal, that there was no man in this country, however high his station might be, but was bou n d to o b ey th e law, an d to submit to that law which pr o t ecte d hi m; and th a t the highest person in the realm, instead of endeavour ing to evade having a . subpoena to attend a court of justice served upon him, ought to be the first person Th e Cardinal, to obey it.however, was absent. They had tried to s ubpcena him, not f o r the purpose of annoying or harassing him, but in order that jus tice might be done this poor child, an d that he might, by his testimony, confirin her evidence with regard to one of the issues on the present occasion; if he had been there ho m ight have contradicted the evi dence of the child on one important point, or he might have confirmed the evidence given by the ladies who upon that Point had been examined; and under these circumstances he could not conceive how it had hap pened that the Cardinal had set the ev il example of evading the service of a subpssna. 1- et was conceded i that this child had been placed n the establish ment by Cardinal Wiseman, and he must, therefore, have known all about her ; and he thought it would have been very desirable that how h , appened that tnis child, who Was now sai d to he unworthy of credit, came to be introduced into such an establish. merit, for either she was an unfit perso n t o b e there, or else the statement respeotuns her had no founda tion. He c ould not deny that, this poor child was the unhappy subject of a scrod affection ; but, at all events, she was in dgoo state of health when she went first to the esta blishment, althou g h s h e ap peared feeble and weak, and this was admitt e d b y the defendants. Thi s was a very important point as regarded some of the iiSLIPS, for if the defend an t s knew that she was feeble and week, it en e elhuhv their duty to have taken. more care , of her, and not to have done anything, that teas calculated to increase her malady. W a s it thou a pro per thing, under such c ircumstances, to nt/Tel a child to get up at half- past f our in themorning, an d remein up until nine at night? Look at the to be number of hours for a weak and ailing child k . .pt f rom rest. The q eestion of necessary rest: ‘, there fore, was a very important one for the conseeeeationof th e jury. Then, with regard to the food, which w as another important consideration, He Omitted he 1 had been misinstructed with regard to meat being al lowed once a week, it being proved that they had it oftener ; but the jury must look at the whole ques tion, and what description of food these children had given to them. For breakfast they had soup made of rice and grease, and although one of the witnesses (Miss Leith) appeared indignant at this description being given of it, and stated that it was made of dripping, he could not help thinking that it came to the same thing, and he asked the jury whether such a greasy mess was a proper thing for the breakfast of a delicate child ? It appeared to him that it was only calculated to produce the result that followed, namely, sickness and an unwillingness to take proper food after it. He would confine himself to what occurred after the defendant, Madame de l'Espinusse, came to the establishment in this respect, and he should contend that the diet was most important. The children might have had a small quantity of meat for their dinner, but all their meals appeared to have had one principal ingredient, " confitnre," or sweetmeats, and between the dinner at twelve o'clock and the supper of vegetables and tea at half•past seven, the poor children had nothing but the " gouter," which was a piece of dry bread with a little jam cf some kind scraped, no doubt, very lightly over it. The tale told by the witness for the defendants, with regard to the liberal diet at the establishment was evidently an exaggeration, and reminded him of Dickens's story in "Do-the-Boys Hall," where the boys certainly had more than they could eat, for they were fed as the pigs were, and the pigs certainly got the fattest.— (A. laugh.) A great parade had been made about the 3501b5. weight of meat that was consumed in the establishment; but they ought not to forget the num ber of persons there were to consume it ; and he said, notwithstanding that, this poor child had not been properly fed, and be asked them to say the same. It was probable that the food had been to some extent changed after the doctor was called in; and as to her throwing away the victuals and the beer, he urged that it was ridiculous to suppose that she should have done so ; and if she did throw the beer away, it ap peared to him that it confirmed her story that it was only water coloured with beer, and was consequently so nasty that she could not drink it. If this poor child had really thrown her meat away because the condition of her stomach would not allow her to eat it, ought this not to have excited commiseration in the breasts of those about her, and ought they not to have seen at once that something more ought to be done ? Instead of that, however, they called her a naughty girl, and actually punished her. The next allegation was, that the plaintiff had been overworked, and com pelled to do work beyond her strength; and he sub• milted that this was sufficiently proved by the fact that she had been kept in the kitchen from half-past four in the morning till nine at night. The nent charge was, that the plaintiff was improperly punished and compelled to do tasks injurious to her health ; and the principal evidence to support this was whet was proved to have been the course of proceeding in the trial class room. It appeared to him th a t this was a mo st severe punishment. For the first offence the poor children were subjected to be confined to the trial class for seven days, for the second 14, and for the third 20 days; and the jury would not forget that if any pour child turned her head from the white wall, in front of which she was placed, if it was on ly one day before the expiration of her sentence, it all began over again. He could not help thinking that this was a most cruel punishment. Toey all knew how the eyes were affected by looking at any white object, even tor a short period ; but here were the poor chil dren, with the exception of the periods for their meals, placed opposite a whitewashed wall from half-past four in the morning until nine at night, and if they only turned their heads—the object of punishment being to keep their eyes upon the wall—the punish ment recommenced. It was true that an attempt had been made to prove that since the present de fendant had been made superior of the convent the system had been changed, and that the children did not now sit with their faces to the wall; but he asked the jury to doubt whether this was the fact, and if they should do so he contended that it was a most improper and injurious description of punish ment. Another of the punishments which be relied upon to support the plaintiff's case was that of prostration. It had been denied, certainly, that any such punishment was ever inflicted ; but in what manner was the contradiction given ? At first it was said that there was no such punishment :known in the convent, and iN hen the lady superior was ques tioned upon the subject, she professed entire igno rance of it. When she was pressed, however, she said she did not know anythi ng of prostration " in that sense," meaning as a punishment. It appeared to him that this looked very much like saying one thing and meaning another ; and he felt compelled to make this remark—and he asked the jury, from their own observations, to confirm him as to the truth of it—that the ladies who had been examined, al though evidently most acute and intelligent persons, had not given their evidence with that candour and openness which ought to be exercised, and that the mode in which they did give it led him to fear that they had been studying a book of which everybody had pro bably heard, and which professed to make persons skilled in the art of saying black was white, and white was black, in such a manner as to avoid stating a direct falsehood, and evading the truth by giving an answer with a mental reservation, and in another sense to that which was conveyed by the answer. He admitted that the mysteries of every religion were, and ought to be, sacred matters, and that they ought not to be inquired into, and he stopped immediately in his inquiries upon an intimation from the Court upon this point; but he submitted that quite enough had appeared to show that such a punishment as pros tration was known to those who professed this form of religion, and although it was denied that the plain tiff had ever been required to perform it, it appeared to him that something had been done very much like it. The girl Beiser admitted that she had been punished for refusing to kneel in the middle of tee floor—it was admitted that one of the punishments made use of was to order the children to stoop down and kiss the floor, and he asked the jury whether it was at all unlikely, under these circumstances, that the plaintiff should have been ordered to prostrate herself in the presence of one of the nuns. With regard to the motives that might have existed for this ill treatment of the plaintiff, he was a f raid it might be traced, to a certain extent, to her un happy condition of body. It was represented that she smelt offensively, and Miss Leith herself ad mitted she did not like her, although she gave no reason for it, but merely that the plaintiff was a girl who never inspired her with any confidence; and he was fearful that her miserable condition gave offence to those about her, and that the result was that she was neglected and no care taken of her. Upon the subject of going to confession, and the statement that the plaintiff had refused to go because the . priest wrote down what she said, it was true that it bed been stated that it was false, but he was afraid that this expression was also made use of in another sense as it was termed, and that the refusal of the plaintiff to go to confession had given offence, and that she was punished in consequence. If they really believed, as they stated, that going to confession was a good thing, did the jury doubt that they omitted any means to melee the children perform the duty, and that al though they did not actually order them to go to it, yet that they took other means to effect the same ob ject equally efficacious ? The next subject for consi deration was the confinement of the plaintiff in the dark room. He knew it had been said that this was done by the doctor's orders, and for the plaintiff's benefit; but he asked the jury, if this were really the case, whether they would have confined this poor child in such a place for a period of four months without letting her aunt, the only relative she had in the world, know of the circumstances, and affording her an opportunity of going to visit her, and whether a room eight feet long by four wide, in which she was confined a portion of the time, was a proper place, particularly when the doctor was proved to have given directions that she should be placed in a well-ventilated room ? He now would refer to a matter which he thought had been intro duced solely for the purpose of creating a prejudice; he alluded to the observations that had been made with regard to the name of Dr. Achilli being placed in the same subpoena with that of Cardinal Wiseman. The fact was, that the defendants bad put every sort of plea upon the record, and it became absolutely ne cessary for them to prOcure all the evidence they could to meet those pleas ; and as Dr. Achilli, from his position, was supposed to be possessed of a great deal of information in connection with those establish ments, it was thought that he might be enabled to give important evidence upon the present inquiry, and his name was therefore put into the subpoena. With regard to the absence of the aunt, it was not felt that her evidence was very material, and it was supposed that she would have come forward to give evidence voluntarily in behalf of her niece ; but as she bad not done so it was not their fault. He said he felt bound to give this explanation; and, is conclusion, he asked the jury not to allow any religious prejudices to inter fere with their judement, but at the same time he said he must ask of them not to 3110 a themselves to be deterred from doing their duty by any fear that the remit they arrived at should be ascribed to pre judices of the description to which he had alluded, The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up. He said that although the case hail occupied a very consider able time, and the question the jury would b a y s event tinily to decide was of a very painful character, he and every one else could not but be salitiied at the manner in which the case had been c on d ucte d on both sides, and that those per sons who had crow d ed the court during the trial, in . the el:et:cagi er - 1 of hav ing a vulgar curithaty gratified by th e ex hib ition cf any bigotry or religious feeling, had been altogether disappointed, as he was happy to say that the c ase, case would be, without any which in itself was of an orcunary character, had been I conducted ite an ordinary improper or irrelevant matter being introduced en either aide.

The Learned Judge then concluded by requesting the jury to take all the facts into their consideration, and say, by their verdict, whether the plaintiff had esta blished the allegations she had made against the de. fen lents, in which case they would return a verdict in her favour; but if, on the other hand, they consi dered that she had foiled to do so, their verdict then should be for the defendants. The jury retired for about three-quarters of an hour, when they returned into court and gave a ver dict for the defendants. (Before Mr. Justice MAULE and a Special Jury.) THE KING OF THE BELGIANS V. PERRIN. This was an action brought by his Majesty the King of the Belgians to recover damages for the im proper cultivation of a farm, and also to recover a sum of money borrowed by the defendant to his Ma jesty's use. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Channel], Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Lilley were for the defendant. It appeared that the farm in respect of which the claim arose belonged to the estate of Claremont, vested by the country in his Majesty. The present defendant had occupied the farm since 1840, when he applied to the bailiff of the Royal plaintiff to allow a portion of the valuation to remain as a charge on the farm, and he Low contended that be was not now liable to pay the amount. Evidence having been given on both sides, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff- Damages 651 105. - ao y ' ij is EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—YeS te A r— tS h: o f_s spectably dressed man, and a woman supPee n '„ f iefe; d iabf wife, made cpplication to Mr. Ansell, the Pr n r - ti lon i ere coffee-shop, No. 62, Lower Marsh, Lambeth, wrpotieA,ol - parties stating that they had been reconle l- ja s bo a by the Inspector on duty at the police stati° ll 0. 95e r0 of street.
