NONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The directors of the Bank of England have re duced their rate of discount from 8 to 7 per cent. This movement had been anticipated because of the flow of gold into the Bank, and the consequent increase in the reserves of the establishment, the favourable position of the Foreign Exchanges, and the restricted commercial engagements which the late stringency of money had recently occa sioned, This reduction will, no doubt, give a fresh stimulus to trade, and its further expansion may be regarded with a degree of certainty. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:— 1866. 1865.

Two O'CLOCK. I,ll.ecording to Reuter's telegram, the French , 11 . r e° per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 69f. 17c. There is a good demand for discount accommo dation, and the rate for the best bills is now 6/ per cent. The National Discount Company, Messrs. exanders, Cunliffes, and Co., &c., &c., have re "eed their allowance for deposits to 5 per cent. for 41°n eY at call, to 5/ per cent. for several days' notic e, and to 6 per cent. for 14 days' notice of withdrawal. The English Stock Market has not experienced 171 alteration in the rate of discount, speculators a ving fully relied upon a reduction being made for , B , el 'eral days.

SCANDALOUS TREATMENT OF A VALUABLE HORSE BY A DRUNKEN BREAKSMAN.—Thomas Rowley, a breaksman in the employ of Mr. John Clough, horse-dealer, of No. 15, Down-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and Tiolently flogging a horse, the property of his master. Mr. Clough said that on the previous afternoon he told the prisoner to drive a pair of horses in a break, and he did so, but, on being called upon to stop, he refused, being drunk, and flogged ono of the horses, a valuable animal, shockingly and unnecessarily. He never saw a horse bear ing the marks of severer punishment in his life. James Ward, a person in Mr. Clough's employ, said he called to the prisoner, by his master's orders, to come back into Brick-street and stand there, when he said he did not care a - for Mr. Clough or him, and sot to flogging one of the horses violently. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said the prisoner was drunk. Mr. William Cutler, of Brick-street, proved seeing the prisoner, who was drunk, driving his break down Park lane in a reckless manner amongst the carriages, nearly coming in collision with a brougham, and in coming back the prisoner, without any provocation, called him a liar and scoundrel. Ho had observed the prisoner flog one of the horses cruelly and without reason. Sergeant Horsey, 6 C, said that on being called by Mr. Clough, he found the prisoner drunk, and the horse was pointed out to him, which had 20 wheales, some 2 feet in length, on it. The prisoner said ho was driving a young horse, and it wanted correcting, as it was the first time it had been out for a week, and a breaksman was no use if ho did not correct his horse. Ho had good testimonials as to his character. Mr. Knox asked Mr. Clough if there was the slightest pretext for saying the horse was a young horse and re quired correction. Mr. Clough said the horse was six years old, a beautiful liorse, and required no correction ? Mr. Knox said it was sworn that the prisoner was drunk and used the horse in a shocking manner, and it appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that there was no occasion for it, and the sergeant described the con dition of the horse as a mass of wheales. The law of Eng land did not permit him (Mr. Knox) to punish the prisoner in a similar manner, which he deserved, but he should commit him for a month with hard labour, without the option of a fine. The prisoner asked to be fined, but Mr. Knox refused. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Rose Bindford, a very turbulent and desperate woman, was charged with committing a savage assault on Mary Guinness, at two o'clock this morn ing, in High-street, Shadwell. The parties belong to the frail sisterhood, and both have given much trouble to the police. They quarrelled about the possession of a sailor named Frank Kennedy, an homeward bounder, who, having plenty of money to spend, was of course an object of attraction to all the Rateliff highway and Shadwell girls. Kennedy was in company with Guinness for some time, and Rosa Bindford decoyed him away, and was walking with him along High street, when the prisoner approached with a large glass decanter in her hand, with which she beat her rival over the head, arms, and body, and broke tho bottle to pieces over her, inflicting sundry wounds. Inspector Roberts, of the K division, said both women were the worse for liquor, the complainant the worse of the two. She presented a frightful spectacle, and was covered with blood. He found several pieces of glass in her hair, in her hand, and her arm. There were cuts on her arms, her head, and her hand. The prisoner said that Bindford had taken her man away. Both women were very had charac ters. Kennedy was sworn, and said that the prisoner attempted to knock his hat off with a decanter, and it fell out of her hand and alighted on the complainant's head. James Hockley, a pclice-constable, heard the blows and part of the decanter fall. The prisoner was battering the complainant as hard as she was able with the remains of the decanter. The complainant was in a terrible condition. James Collins said he picked two pieces of glass out of ,he complainant's head. The gloss had formed part of a thick decanter. Mr. Paget commented on the barbarous nature of the outrage, and said the prisoner was a perfect savage, and had committed a most atrocious and brutal assault. Ho sentenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two months. MARKETS.---This Day. METROPOLITAN C A.T TLE.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES BY A POLICEMAN.—George Boxall, late police-constable at Usk, Monmouthshire, who stood committed for trial on the charge of stealing a bank post bill for £l5O from a letter in the post-office at Usk, was brought up on remand on the further charge of steal ing from and out of the post a letter addressed to Edward Lister, Esq., Cefn Ild, Usk, containing a banker's draft for £23 3s. 2d., forging Mr. Lister's name thereon, and utter ing the same knowing it to be forged. Mr. Peacock again attended to prosecute for the Post office authorities. It will be remembered that two days after the letter in question was lost in the Post-office the prisoner was at Cardiff, where he purchased a watch for ..£6 Gs., paying for it with the cheque in question, and receiving .£l6 17s. 2d. in change. Mr. Iftimp,:on, a clerk in the office of the Messrs. Rush ton, solicitors, Bolton, said he was sent to obtain a bankers' draft for £23 3s. 2d., payable at the London and West minster Bank, London, to E. Lister. Ho did so, and the draft was afterwards enclosed in a letter and posted. Thomas Horrocks, also a clerk in the office of Messrs. Rushton, solicitors, Bolton, said he posted the letter con taining the bankers' draft at the Bolton post-office on the 25th of last November. He was quite certain ho did so, as the address was peculiar, and it was also entered in his letter-baok, which he produced. Mr. Lister, the gentleman to whom the letter was ad dressed, said he never received the letter sent, as had been described, from Bolton. The endorsement on the draft, " E. Lister," was not in his handwriting, and ho never authorised any person to write it thereon. He knew the prisoner in 1864. He was in the police force at Usk. Tho prisoner said ho would reserve his defence. He was fully committed for trial. Popularity of Berryer and Guizot. The Paris correspondent of the Times writes as follows :—The cordial welcome M. Berryer met with lately at Besancon has just been repeated at Bordeaux, where he is retained as counsel in a case between a shipbroker and the person who freighted the vessel. It was the first time he had appeared as an advo cate in these courts, and the capital of the department which gave its name to the most eloquent members of the Convention could not but honour the man who, at the Bar and in the Senate, has proved him self equal, if not superior, to any whom the Gironde in its best days produced. The arrival of M. Berrycr at Bordeaux excited the greatest inte rest ; more applications were made for places in the court than it could hold, were it four times as spacious. Long before he appeared it was crowded to excess by the most eminent members of all the liberal professions, and by the highest in social position that the province could pro duce. When he made his appearance all rose, and the presiding Judge addressed him in highly com plimentary language. Among other things, he re minded him that his very first act as an advocate was generous, independent, and courageous—the defence of Marshal Ney—and he expressed the greatest admiration not more for his pre-eminent talents than for his noble character. These words were followed by a burst of applause from the Bar and the public, which, of course, the judge tried to repress after some few minutes. M. Berryer thanked the Court for the honour done him, and after some flattering expression to the Bordeaux Bar, proceeded to open the case in which he was engaged. M. Berryer spoke for some hours, and though he had lately been suffering from indisposition, he never appeared to be in better health ; and his voice had all the strength, depth, and fulness it ever had. • When he closed, the applause that greeted him at the opening was renewed ; and on leaving the court he was followed to his house by numbers of people shouting " Five Berryer !" The head of the Bordeaux Bar—bdtonnier—gave a dinner to which the Council of the Order of Advocates were invited to meet him, and the following day the Bar gave a banquet at the Hotel do France in his honour. The reception which the great orator met with in the great towns of France is not, perhaps, so re markable as the unexpected honours paid to M. Guizot in the Quartier Latin of Paris on returning from the College de France, where his son had given his first lecture as a deputy professor some weeks since. He was followed by a numerous cortege, composed of students and others, who in 1848 would probably have treated him far otherwise, shouting " Vive Guizot !" and among them were squads of sergens de vine, present, no doubt, to maintain order, but who had all the appearance of forming part of the cortege. M. Berryer has been at no time unpopular, and to his wonderful gifts as an advocate may be attributed at least a part of the manifestation of which he is the object. M. Guizot was certainly one of the most popular professors that ever lectured at the Sorbonne, but many years have passed away since then. The present generation only know it by tradition ; and however great as a Parliamentary speaker, and whatever his ability as a Minister, they were not of a kind to insure him popularity in the common ac ceptation of the word ; nor has he been for the last 15 or 16 years constantly before the world, like M. Berryer. Whatever the real cause of the acclama tions he met with on the occasion I refer to from students, working men, and bourgeoise, it shows a change in public feeling which is not without its importance. The Countess d'Apponyi is expected to arrive at the Austrian Embassy the week after next from Rome. It is certain that the Austrian Ambassador will retain pos session of Chandos House this season. The reports to the contrary are devoid of foundation. LEARNED MONKEYS IN A Fix.—The Journal de Gand cites a rather curious result of the law which pro hibits the entry of cattle into Belgium. M. Delanouro, manager of a company of learned monkeys, proposing to exhibit them at the next fair at Ghent, has not been able to obtain leave for his pupils to pass the Belgian frontier. THE POOR LAW BOARD.—Dr. Edward Smith, F.R.S., has been appointed medical offloer of the Poor Law Board, in addition to the office of Poor Law Inspector. There is much need for such an appointment ; but its value will really depend on the degree in which the Board avail themselves of it. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON IN THE BACK SLUMS OF PARIS.—Last week the Emperor of the French visited several of the lowest and most turbulent quartiers of Paris, to decide upon certain improvements and embel lishments which have been suggested by M. Raussmann. He also drove slowly round the Luxembourg Gardens, which have recently given rise to such vehement discus sions and demonstrations. His visit was made in a low phaeton, driven by himself ; his escort consisted of a friend and a couple of grooms. In Louis Philippe's time, says the Pall Mall Gazette, the Court newsman used only to be too happy if he could conclude his description of a Royal progress through Paris with the congratula tory observation—" Now remarquons avec plaisir que sa Majesty ruz pas etd assassinee." The day had not then arrived when the ruler of Franco could lounge about the slums of his capital as securely as any privateeindividual, or as Louis Napoleon does now. It id impossible for the worst enemies of the existing dynasty to deny that its chief is either very popular or very courageous. The Em peror Napoleon has since then addressed the following let : ter to the Minister of the Interior :—" I have paid a visit to the Jardin du Luxembourg, and am convinced that there would be every advantage in leaving the western portion of that useful pr omenade untouched. I request you, there fore, to have the fi rs t plans altered accordingly. " SLIPS OF THE P EN.—G en . T a yl or i mmor t a li se d himself by perpet ra ti ng one of the grandest bulls on record, in which he attained what a certain literary professor calls "a perfection hardly to be surpassed." In his Presidential address ho announced to the American Congress that the United States were at peace with all the world, and con tinued to cherish relations of amity towards the rest of mankind." Much simpler was the blunder of an English officer during the Indian mutiny, who informed the public, through the Times, that, thanks to the prompt measures of Col. Edwards, the sepoys at Fort Machison " were all un armed and taken aback, and, being called upon, laid down their arms." There was n o thi ng very as t on i s hi ng i n an Irish paper stating that Robespierre "left no children be hind him, except a brother who was killed at the same time ;" but it was startling to have an English journal assure ns that her Majesty Queen Victoria was " the last person to wear another man's crown." Addison lays it down as a maxim that when a nation abounds in physicians it grows thin of people. Filibuster Henninpen seems to have agreed with the essayist, or he would hardly have informed General Walker, in one of his despatches, that "Doctors Rice and Wolfe died of the cholera, and Dr. Lindley sickened, after which the health of the camp visibly im proved." Intentionally or not, the stout-hearted soldier suggests that the best way of getting rid of the cholera is to make short work of the doctors. Among the ago, there appeared the name of a cer t a in pub lobituary w th the notices he. f was greatly esteemed for his strict probity and steady weekly e 'Paper, not many months um. attached to it—"He °glu conduct through life, he having been a s u b s c r ib e r to the Sunday Times from its first number." Thi s is a worthy pendant to Miss Hawkins's story of th e un d er t a ker writing to the corpor ation of London, "I am desired to inform the Court of Aldermen Mr. Aldermen Gill died last night, by order of Mrs. Gill ;" and, not far short, in point of absurdity, is Madame Tussaud's announcement of the exhibition of the effigy of the notorious Palmer, "who was executed at Stafford , with two hundred other celebrities." The modern fashion of naming florists' flowers must be hold responsible for the very dubious paragraph we extract from a gardening paper:—"Mrs. Legge will be looked after; she may not be so certain as some, but she was nevertheless very fine in the early part of the season. Lady Popham is useful, one of the old-fashioned build, not quite round in the outline, but makes up well."—Chambers's Journal. THE BLACK BALL LlNE.—A.dvices have been re ceived by telegram, in advance of the Australian mail, from Point de Gallo, of the arrival of the following passenger vessels :—The Great Victoria (s.s.), Capt. Richards, from London, at Queensland, 79 days; Bayswater, Capt. Morris, from Liverpool, at Queensland; Southern Empire, Capt. Purvis, from Liverpool, at Melbourne ; Iron Duke, Capt. Parry, from London, at Sydney. The following vessels had sailed: Champion of the Seas, Capt. Outridge, from Melbourne, for London ; Marco Polo, Capt. Arnold, from Geelong, for London; Golden Laud, Capt. Davies, from Bisbano, for Callao; Semarang, Capt. Richardson, from Brisbane, for Callao. REFUSING THE RITES OF BURIAL.—The vicar of Gainsborough refused to read tho burial service over the body of a man who died in that town last week, or to allow the corpse to be taken into the church. The remains had, therefore, to be buried without any service being per formed over them. The ground of the vicar's refusal was, not that the man had died unbaptized, or excommunicate, or had laid violent hands on himself, but that he had con tinued living with a woman who was not his wife after being repeatedly admonished on the matter. Lord Dundrealy and Spiritualism, The followleg appeared ix a late edition of The Sun of last evening : This afternoon the "summons granted against Mr. Cole man of 12, Angel-court, Throgmorton-street, and 51, Pem br:dge-villas, Bayswater, a gentleman connected. with the Spiritual Magazine, was heard before the Lord Mayor in the Justice-room in the Mansion-house. The gentleman complaining of the article which the defendant had printed was Mr. Sothern, the celebrated actor and representative of Lord Dundretu - y. He denied altogether that there was the slightest truth in the article, but, on the contrary, the statements contained therein were false and libellous. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine represented Mr. Sothern; Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, was present for Mr. Coleman; and Mr. Chamberlain, of Basiu,shall-street, appeared for Mr. Kent. Mr. Lewis said he had been instructed to appear to an swer a charge of libel preferred against Mr. Coleman ; but, as the summons had not been duly received, he (➢lr. Lewis) begged that his lordship would adjourn tho hear ing of the case for a week, with the view of affording him an opportunity of preparing an answer to the charge. And again he (Mr. Lewis) was personally unwell, and quite unprepared to go into the case. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said there was only one ground upon which he would accede to the application, and that was in consideration of the ill-health of Mr. Lewis. All that he intended to do was to prove the libel, and to ask his lordship to send the defendant for trial. He then laid down the law of libel, and contended that upon public grounds he ought to object to the adjournment, and, upon reflection, thought he would do so, and he accordingly protested. 31r. Lewis hoped the case would not be taken at that time. He was not at all prepared to proceed, as a portion of his evidence had yet to be got from Glasgow. Sergeant Ballantine said they would admit the part of the case relative to the Glasgow letter, as they wanted to go on now. He intended to put Mr. Sothern into the bjx, not for the purpose of examining him, but to allow Mr. Lewis the opportunity of cross-examination as to the truth or falsehood of the charges contained in the libel. Mr. Lewis said as they were determined to proceed he had nothing to do but to get as much as was possible of the defence entered on the depositions, and therefore he should put a few questions to Mr. Sothern. Mr. sothern then entered the witness-box, and was swom. Mr. Lewis—ls your name, sir Sothern or Stuart - ? Witness—Sothern. Mr. Lewis—And never, I suppose, sometimes Stuart ? Witness—l was known for some time in Ame:ica by the name of Stuart. Mr Lewis—Did you not originally belong to a theatrical company in New York ? Witness—Well, yes. Mr. Lewis—ln the years 1854 to 1856 ? Witness—That is so. Mr. Lewis—And during that time you endeavoured to teach spiritualism ? Witness—Quite so. I did so in a free and open manner. There was no charge made for the instruction. There were some other gentlemen in the circle of the names of Harroway, Wolff, Norwood, and others, but I don't recol lect of the name of Hooper. Mr. Lewis—l suppose you had some high personages come to see your performances. Witness—Judge Edmonds and other gentlemen used to come. Mr. Lewis—And you kept this up for two years. Witness—Yes. The circles met about once a week, but we were constantly changing. I was the medium. Mr. Lewis—Then the medium was the principal of the seance ? Witness—Yes, myself and another named Wolff. Mr. Lewis—For two years, then, you admit you prac tised deceit, if deceit it was. Witness—Yes. Mr. Lewis—Then you admit for two years you were practising deceit ? Witness—No, I don't. (Laughter.) Nothing of the kind. Mr. Lewis—Upon your oath, did you not practise deceit ? Witness —Well, what do you call deceit. (Laughter.) You put your questions strong. (Laughter.) I don't know what you may call deceit. Mr. Lewis—Pretending to teach that which you know to be false. Witness—l don't say that ; I wished to discover the truth or falsehood of spiritualism. Mr. Lewis—And it required two years to do it ? Witness—l can't say that. I must say I was not satin fled in less than two years. Mr. Lewis—And the conclusion you arrived at was ad verse to spiritualism ? Witness—Yes. I was nearly convineei the first day I tried it, but others were not. Mr. Lewis—Will you swear that you have told your audienco that you were mai:lug fools of thorn ? Witness—Yes, posidvely, I told them so. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Wolff assisted me. I left New York about three or four years ago. I did not make it k lawn before I left that all I had been preaching was humbug. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—Don't you know that there are persons who now bellexp in what you taught ? Witness—Upon my soul, I can't believe they do be!iove it. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—Do you believe, on your oath, that others believe it ? Witness—Upon my soul— Mr. Lewis—You needn't say that. Witness—Well, then, really—(laughter)--I don't think there's any man—without he's got a screw loose—that be lieves in it. (Loud laughter.) What I wish to say is that Ido not sae how any sensible man can believe it. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Lem :s here said he came to a portion of his case that he could not go on with—and referred to a letter written by the plaintiff to a gentleman in Glasgow. Mr. Ballantine—We admit the letter, so you can go on. Mr. Lewis—l wish much for an adjournment, but as it is insisted I must go on. Have you been practising spiritualism since you came to England ? Witness—Yes, on a small scale—(laughter)—but always at private houses. Mr. Lewis—And you have endeavoured to make others believe that true which you knew to be false. Witness—You see— The Lord Mayor—You had better, Mr. Sothern, merely answer Mr. Lewis's question. Witness—You sea, my lord, he puts them in suc'a a way that his object is evidently to make me contradict myself. I have endeavoured to make people believe it true. I did at one of these circles jump about like a dog, but I did not bite a bit out of my trousers. (Loud laughter.) I did, with four other gentlemen, pursue a gentleman with knives at one of these meetings. There was a summons taken out, but it was withdrawn. The gentleman knew it was all a joke. Mr. Lewis—Then the gentleman who took out the sum• mons knew what had been done was a joke ? By Sergeant Ballantine—l believe that the spiritualists are impostors. I never admitted that I had ravished a young lady. There is not the slightest pretence for making such a foul accusation. It is entirely and utterly untrue to say that there is the slightest difference existing between myself and my wife on the matter. It is a false and scandalous assertion. Mr. Lewis then addressed the alderman, and con tended that the libel was merely copied from an American paper. _ _ _ _ Mr. Ballantine—You need not reforto the libel, becatiso we allege it was sent over by your client to America, on purpose to be inserted in the publication there, in order to come back to London. The defendant said that such an aspersion was untrue. Mr. Lewis proceeded with the address, and said that she present proceedings were adopted in order that ,he defendant's mouth should be closed. Had he pro- ceeded by civil action then the defendant could have been put in the witness-box, and had Mr. Sothern honestly brought the matter forward, he would have adopted that course. The Lord Mayor said he would not take upon himself to say, but a jury must decide that quest:on. The defendant was then committed for ti:a l , but bail was accepted for his appearance at the sessions. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir J. Wilde.) BELLEW V. BELLEW AND PAIN. This was a suit instituted to obtain probate of the will of the late Miss Caroline Bellew, commonly called the Countess Bellew, of Stockleigh House, Regent's -park, who died on the 24th of February last, the will having been executed in August, 1863. The will was opposed by Miss Frances Bellew, a sister of the testatrix, who alleged that it was a forgery. Mr. O'Malley, Q.O , Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Bullar were for the plaintiff, Miss Frances Bellew ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Dr. Spinks, and Dr. Staveley Hill for the defendant, Mr. limy Bellew a brother of the testatrix, who propounds the will. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. Archbishop Manning and Mr. Whalley. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—May I as's you kindly to insert in your journal the two following letters, addressed by Archbishop Man ning to Mr. Whalley, with reference to that gentleman's quotation, in the House of Commons on the Bth inst., of a passage from the Eclectic Reriew, which ascribed to the Archbishop, and those who act with him, the proposition that " the English Government was an usurped Govern ment, the enemy of God," &c. 1 omit less important documents in the correspondence which ensued upon this assertion ; viz. —(1), the Arch bishop's first note of inquiry to Mr. Whalley, on the report of his speech appearing in the Tines; (2), Mr. Whalley's reply, to the effect that he had quoted the charge re ferred to from the Eclectic Review; (3), Mr. Whalley's courteous answer to the first of the two letters now enclosed; in which, among other expressions that do him honour, ho stated that in the debate ho had announced the archbishop's repudiation "of the words and sentiments referred to," though ho only road to the house a portion of the explanation sent to him. At the same time he entirely consents to the publication both of that letter of the archbishop and of the succeeding one which now accompanies it. 1 omit also, on account of their length, the extracts for warded to Mr, Whalley with the first letter, from a volume entitled "Essays on Religion and Literature, by Various Writers," edited by the archbishop in 1865. They will b 3 found, p.p. 375-7, the author of the particular Esetty " Christianity in Relation to Civil Society," being Mr. Lucas. I am, Sir, your faithful servant, W. IL ANDERDON. 8, York-place, Portman-square, 21st February. 8, York-place, Feb. 16, 1866. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge your letter of yesterday in reply to mine of the 11th instant. It appears from your statement that the report of your speech on the night of the Bth instant is substantially correct. The quotation of the words ascribed to me was in in verted commas. And the words were ascribed to me by name. So I find the report to stand in various papers. I have to-day obtained the August number of the Eclectic Review of 1865, and examined the page you re fer to. 1. In the first place, the Eclectic Review does not ascribe the words to me. It states them to be contained in a book of which I was editor. You, sir, stated in the house " These are the words of Dr. Manning." They are not my words, and I feel sure that you will see at once the course which in candour ought to be taken. The volume referred to contains several essays, each signed with the name of the author, who alone is respon sible for its statements. No such words, nor any such substance, is contained in the essay contributed by me. 2. But, it may be said, that, as editor, I should be re sponsible for suffering such words to be published. The words are not to be found in the whole volume, nor the substance of any such words, but are visibly a falsifi cation of the passage which I now enclose ; which, as you will see, has no reference to England whatsoever, but to the infidel French Revoluticn, and the influences of it, which have revolutionised to a great extent the modern society of Europe and South America. Eut I have communicated the facts of this correspond ence to the author of the Essay, who will take such steps as he may think fit with the editor of the Eclectic Review. Ido not complain of you, sir, for being misled. The confident tone of the Eclectic Review would lead any truth ful and honourable man to believe that the passages in in verted commas were quotations faithfully made. But I feel that your own sense of candour and of honour will dictate what is duo to me. I d y e ny 8 privatevereig, and y b o eo u n in ne l i o th y e a r lty t sh:rt nor m o not lf f y,leldwhich .b is ample witness of my words. I feel wh a t you have said as a wound ; and I ask of you to u n d o the wrong which I readily believe you unwitti ng l y di d. I ask it not for my sir, ta o s own sake only, but for the sake of those whom you say my name may influence; for you have cast it with what soever weight it may have into the wrong scale, and made it weigh in a direction towards which no word or act of mine has ever yet so much as inclined.-1 have the honour to be, Sfr, your obedient servant, H. G. Whalley, Esq., M.P. f EIENur E. 3ILNINING. 11. 8, York-pl ace , Portman-square, London, W., have this momentre Feb. ad 1 9n, the l 8 6 P . re port of the d e b a t e on S a t ur d ay arliament my last the personal explana tion made by you on the subject of the words you had' through error, ascribed to me; and I beg to thank you for the prompt and candid course you have taken. You will, I feel sure, acknowledge the justice of what I now add. It would have been more satisfactory if you had stated that the words had never been spoken by me, or so much as known by me. And in order to preclude the possibility of mistake, or of any other person being misled, as you have unconsciously been, which both on private and public grounds I consider of much '.impottance, I request your consent to the publi cation of my last letter, together with this note, in which I gladly express my assurance that you mado the original statement in full belief of its correctness, and my sense that in the course you have so promptly pursued, you have made me an honourable reparation. I have the honour t o be, sir, your faithful ser van t , f H. E. MA.NNING. G. Whalley, Esq., M : P.
