IMPERIAL PA RLIAMEN T. .:XOUSE OF CO.VAIONS, June 23. COLONIAL C BURCH. ;Continued from our After n oon Edition of y e sterday.) ~.; •r HORSMAN said they ough to proceed with caution in this matter. The ptincieles must be en to be clear and unambiguous, but he was sorry to he was at a loss to discover what really was the deject of the Right Hon. Gentleman in pressing the resolution. The Government had announced that they intended to turn their attention to the subject of the Colonial Church, and he could see h , . practical good that was likely to result from this proposal. The Bill which the Right Honourable Gentleman formerly introduced was a revolutionary Bill, intended to introduce an ecclesiastical tyranny into the colonies, but the speech which proposed it was a de lusion and a snare. The speech was a lamb, but the Bill which came after it was a wolf. This motion, let the House remember, was brought forward by the organ of a party who should not be lost sight el-eit was a dangerous and encroaching party, whose tactics could be gathered from the fact that its organ had made a speech on such a day and at such a i l time when he knew it would have to go forth without reply, and leave the people to suppose that it was un answered and unanswerable. The course, however, pur sued by the Colonial Secretary was widely different—it was m oily and straightfoeward, end it must be gratifying to the ItillSe and the country to know that it would de feat the purpose of those who had been instrumental in bringing the subject before Parliament. No practical peed could possibly result from the adoption of this rose livion, but the Right Hon. Gentleman wanted it to pass, to print his Bill and send it out to the colonies. That might be the avowed object, but it was not the real motive for this movement. The fact was, there was a party in the Church who wanted to establish a tyrannical syster:tel the colonies, in the hope that they might be atter; tls was enabled to introduce it at home. Their real object to destroy the free spirit and pure simplicity of the w...ahlrc,elii, for the purpose of subeticuting in its place a ne _L in g' o a f edifice and the worst and most odious t togethe r t o episeepal and priestly domination. Parliament would continue on its guardil° h o ped, however, and prevent this. Tea Right Hon. Gentleman had said that the bishops of the colonies had been deterred from meeting settle their own affairs for fear of penal said, consequ ences. o f course the Right 11 " . Gantlemarl t belihe libeved what h e but he (Mr. Horsman) would take y of disbe lieving it altogether. inThe bishops k p had ert already met in synod, as everybody coloniesthe, 'hew. Who was to prosecute them fo r so doing, or under whae law were they to he,. prosecuted? He certainly objected to this Bill, and protested against its being transmitte d to the co lonies in its present sape. Considering the dangers and difficulties which now sur rounded the Chu rch, an y legislation for the distant colo nies ought to be attended with great care and caution. He thought this was a proposition most dangerous and absurd, and be hoped that when the Government came next year to redeem tie pledgee which he understood they had given, to legislate on this subject, they would d o so oil principles clear, defined, and intelligible. Sir W. P. WOOD regretted that the Hon. Member for Cocitermomh should invariably impeach the motives of any Hon. Member who might chance to differ from him in any opinion, and impute to him sinister and dis honest reasons fur such differences.—(Hear, hear.) The other day it was himself (Sir W. P. Wood) who had been i mPugned with reference to the view which he had taken of the state of the law on another subject, and to-day it was the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford. The Honour able Gentleman said that this Bill had a concealed motive—that its real obj,,ct was to establish an eccle siastical tyranny in the colonies. Certainly, if it had such a concealed motive, he had never seen any motive so well and dexterously concealed. (Hear, hear.) It was a very odd way of establishing an ecclesiastical tyranny to seek to give the laity a greater power and a larger share of legislation in church matters than was possessed by the laity of this country. The Hon. Gentleman said that some of the bishops in the colonies had done mischief there, but he (Sir W. P. Wood) thought that it was but necessary to refer to the progress of the Church in the distant colonies to show that the bi,:hops had done great goad. Many of them had been sent to a heatnen population, or to a convict population standing in need of religious education even more than heathens. Within the last fifteen years the number of clergy employed under the colonial bishops had increased threefold, from 500 to 1,600, and in the Cape of Good Hope they had increase sixfold. iThe power which the Church in the colonies wanted, and which he thought would be conferred by some Bill of this sort, was to show the force, energy, and vitality which it possessed when duly organized. Ia eft' sting this object, he hoped the Hun. Ms mber for Cockermouth would join, laying aside his prejudices for once, and endeavour to aid the causeof Coris:ian truth by adhering to Caristian charity. Mr. BUTT strongly objected to this Bill, to the intro duction of which he was only induced to consent by the implicit confidence which he placed in the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary for the Colonies. Mr. GLADSTONE wished to say a few words on a personal matter. For the first time in his public life he had felt greatly grieved by the tone which the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secrets.rif or the Colonies had adopted in his speech on the second reading of the former Bill. The language, ho -sever, which the Right Hon. Gentle man had used to-day had convinced him (Mr. Gladstone) that the expressions he then used lay within the fair limits of debate; and he wished spontaneously to say that he entirely withdrew anything which he might have said when labouring under his first impression, and re gretted ever having used them. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he most cordially accepted the Right Hon. Gentleman's apology. The resolution was thin agreed to, and the Ch - irman being directed to move tor leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to the Colonial Church, the House resumed, and leave was eiven to bring in the Bill. METROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL. The 11.31133 then went into Committee on this Bill, commeecieg with clause 38. The remaining clauses of the Bill were agreed to. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE proposed a clause exempting from taxation horses and carriages kept for funeral pur poses only. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he apprehended it was impossible to move a clause of this nature in Committee on this Bill. It would be neces sary to go into a Committee of the whole House, and move a special resolution with regard to this parti cular tax. The amendment was then withdrawn. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved a clause providing compensation for the owners of burial grounds which might be closed by the operation of this Bill. The CHAIRMAN said the same objection would ap- Ply to this clause as had been urged against the clause of the Hon. Member for Finsbury. If the compensation Were to come out of the Consolidated Fund, a prelimi nary resolution would be necessary. After a bri e f di scuss i on t h e c l ause was a dd e d to t h e Bill, The pre am bl e was a f terwar d s agreed to, and the 'milt° resumed. GE NERAL report was ordered to be received to-morrow.

On the mo':,ion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. PETO said that he had the honour of being cAlled to the Commission list appointed on the subject of the r7ietropolitan sewers, and with hi m were asso ciated 'Ai. Steph enson , Mr, Bendel], Sir W. Cubitt, and severa't other gentlemen connected with the public works of tb e kingdom. It was distinctly understood on the part of the Government and the Commission that the attt:ntion of the Conami&:loners was to be directed tin rumittiniy to the c ,- tnzioicration of pla n s f or th e sew - IN 'age of the ineiropolis. They had accordingly 80 de- Voted thqr ir:tentin; 211 d during the sixteen month s l' he Y hds.heen en the • Coincai:ision plans had been ih irestigate-and ma'cured for the se , erage both on the northern itand southern si,!es the river, and works of great ini:.znitule, which ha Liz.: urgent necessity of the case . q vi'pg u , Performed. I.lpan Lard Ebrinigtou gl toffice irm e the Commission. he p (Ur. e of Pete) lid been an re f quer,ted to take the position of san,dey• c h and to re.prisent the Commission ut in that Louse. Since that time, he rugrettEd to say, they had kst their chairman and two or three other members, and )1 (Mr. rti•io) telt it his duty, in conj unct i on with Mr. i t - ePht'nst',n ; Mr. Bendel], and Sir , W Cubitt, to resign as, ot h They had done so si:z.py on thi s ground, that Y lual :not, as th e y had conceived, had good faith re them—lie did not mean on the part of the pre- THE SUN, LONDON, sent Govennment—he entirely exonerated them—but by the late Government. The Cominit , sieners were appointed to perform a great public duty, and so far a • they were concerned they had entirely fulfilled it. When they took:office they found the whole affairs of th Commissien, from a misundervanding that had existed on the par! , of the foroier Commissioners, in a most .diorgAn;zad state, and he would mention one circumstance to dhow the mode in which the business of the Commission had been carried on. A confidential paper ad dressed to one of the late Commissioners, occuoyinga place also In the new Commission, although headed " private and confidential," had found its way into in thento the public papers, and the first time he saw it was n b g o t r h r e o i w r public press. He and his colleagues felt that an office . in such a state of disorganization did requira.tobe. re-or ganizsd, and that duty they had fultille a d v.n,, They also matured plans for the sewerage; but,.h tob done so, a were position performi they found they were not in money. The Act under which they duty was so imperfect that , althou g h he had enter e d into negotiations on the part of the Commissioners for the loan of three-quarters o f a million, to be returned in about thirty years by the imposition of a small rate on the metropolis, it was found that no party could safely make the loan. They felt they were placed in a most onerous position, which only those who were acquainted with the state of the metropolis could form an opinion of; and feeli ng how urgent was the ne c an d finding that there was no prospect o f t h e i r being carried out , they h ssity o f carrying out the +cork s to w hi c h he h ad re ferred,ad felt it their duty to resign; for however anxious they were to fulfil a public duty, yet they were not prepared to remain in an invidious po sition, and to be pointed at as not carrying cut works w ith which the interests and morality of the metropolis were so mush connected. The drainage of the metro polis would require at least 1,000,0001., and that amount could not b e acqu i re d i n any ot h er way than by loans for a period of about thirty years, and to be repaid by a rate not higher than 6d. in the pound. It had been said that the plan Proposed by the Commissioners was to make the Thames the medium of the sewerage; but he declared, that neither on the part of Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Rendell, Sir W. Cubitt, nor himself, or any of the Commissioners of 1849, was the idea of taking the Thames as the means of sewerage ever entertained; and that, after giving the subject their most careful and anxious deliberation, they had come to the determination that their only course was to take such a point below the metropolis as would render it impossible for the water of the Thames near the metropolis to be affected by the refluxion of the tide. It was no fault of himself and his colleagues if those plans were not carried into execution—he regretted exceedingly that they had not been able to carry out those works, but the responsibility did not rest with them. At the same time, although they did feel it their duty to resign their offices, the Government might at all times command their services. Mr. WALPOLE said that the country was much indebted to the late Board for the manner in which it had performed its arduous task, and he begged per sonally to thank his Hon. Friend and his colleagues for the attention they had paid to the subject.—(Hear.) The Bill was then read a third time and passed. MESSAGE FROM THE LORDS. A messenger from the Lords brought up the follow. lg. Bills, to which their Lordships bad agreed:— fassen , Y 2s ers' Act Amendment. Poor-1w Commission Continuance (Ireland).

Viscount JOCELYN moved for copies of the evidence and report of a Commission appointed to inquire into a charge preferred against his Highness Meor Ali Morad, Amur u Upper Sinde, of having made fraudulent altera tions in the treaty of Normahar, concluded between his Highness and the late Meer Koostun Khan, and of all minutes and correspondencia on the Indian Records con nected with the charge: and, of the report on Sinde of Sir George Clerk, K.C.8., late Governor of Bombay, dated the 24th day of April, 1848. The Noble Lord, in making ths motion, addressed a few remarks to the House, with the view of showing that the docu ments that he moved for ought to be furnished to the country as a matter of history. He was aware that many years ago the Sinde question was supposed to have be.n finally disposed of: but silica then many neby matters had c, me to light, and it might hereafter turn out that the native prince referred to in his motion was not quite undeserving the commiseration of the House. It was some time since a Noble Earl had moved for a portion of these papers in another place; but the papers produced were only part of those which he now called tor. The papers had not been returned to the seciot department of the Indian Board, but to the East India Company, and there could be no difficulty in producing the documents which he asked for. The Noble Lord then proceeded to recal to the recollection of the House the incidents and results of the campaign in Sinde, which began in 1838, and terminated in 1842. In 1841 Sir Charles Napier came upon the Sinde scene, and immediately concluded an alliance with Afi Morad, which so alarmed Meer Koostun that he threw himself upon fho mercy of the British General. The British General, however, instead of rendering him assistance, referred him to his brother, to Ali Monad, and iu the end Meer Koostun was forced to take refuge in Lower Sinde. Here the people, indignant at the treacherous treatment he had received from his unnatural brother, espoused his cause, and a terrible battle ensued between them and the British forces. The natives were defeated, and' then it transpired that Ali Morad, through the instrumentality of a forged alteration, which he had introduced into a treaty, bad secured property which belonged by conquest to the British Government. A Commission was thin appointed to investigate this charge, which was made at the instance of Meer Koos tun, and the forgery was proved. It was also established that toe charges which had been preferred against Meer Koostun of conspiring, with the Court of Lahore, against the British Government, were wholly without foundation, and the evidence upon which they were attempted to be supported to be pure fabrication. Subsequent events, and after discoveries, had only tended to confirm the innocence of Meer Koostun, and it was only an act of justice to that unfortunate prince that he now asked for the production of these papers, which would r e d oun d a lik e t o the honour of the British Government as to the credit of the victims of the abominable and unfounded charges which he had just been adverting to. In 1842 the opinion of the Governor- General was entirely in favour of the unfortunate Meer Kuostun. But a few years later that untoriunate prince ,d been a homeless wanderer. He (Lord Jocelyn) had received innumerable letters from officers who had long resided in Sinde, testifying to the high character of these unfortunate princes. The position of the Ameers sines the acquisition of the Sindian territory has been wretched in the extreme, some of them even had been reduced to actual distress. The wives of these princes had remained at Hyderabad, where they lived in a hovel without even a mat on the floor, and scarcely protected from the weather. This was one of the most painful stories con nected with the British rule in India. It was a story known throughout Central Asia, and it had even pene trated ir,to Africa. It was a question involving the ho nour of the British name, and which therefore required the utmost attention. In behalf of the exiled Ameers of Sinde he asked for the consideration and sympathy of the House. Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he felt it to be an honour and pleasure to second the motion of his Hon. Friend. The treatment of the inhabitants of Sinde was the most strking instance of tyrannical oppression re corded in the page of history. He hoped that the House would attend to the suggestions of his Hon. Friend. Mr. BAILLIE considered that the speech of the Noble Lord had very little reference to the motion which he had submitted to the House. He was surprised that the Noble Lord should now rake up this old question with regard to our Indian policy of 1848. If blame attached to any one it was to the Government which sanctioned the acts of which the Noble Lord complained, rind of which he was, notwithstanditig, a member. Six o'clock having arrived, the discussion was ad journed till to-morrow. FRANCE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—AdviCeS by the Cambria inform us that there was a giving way in cotton of kc. per It. at New York, on the 6 , h inst., after the Great Britain had left that port; but that the market recovered its tone in some degree, partially rising -1-c. en the re ceipt of letters to the 25th ult. from Liverpool, yet clo:.- ieg heavily, with a very small amount of operations. The southern markets continue dull. The accounts of the growing c ro p were no l ess f avoura bl e than b e f ore. These ad vices had a somewhat unfavourable effect yester day upon the Liverpool market, which was spiritless, the sales being only 4,000 t o 5,000 bal es , w ith a s li g ht incli nation in prices against sellers. It seemed probable, at the opening of our own market this morning, that we should have not only a flat day, but rather lower prices. This was the general impression ; but though there cer tainly has been an inanimate state of things, we have not had anything like depression. Rather lower prices have been offered for yarns ; and spinners have in many instances divided the difference with the buyers, whilst in many other instances they have refused to give way at all. The concession is small and not generally made. The sales have been of limited extent. In the goods department, the better qualities of 7-8 and 9.8 printers are in rather increased request, and still inclining to harden in price. Domestics appear to be slowly coming more into demand, but the very salad advance latterly contended for is no less than before a bone of contention. Some purchases of the lower qualities of skirtings for India have been made to-day; the better sorts, however, but little inquired after. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a brisk demand for pieces, at feruler prices; and those manufacturers who were willing to submit to this had no difficulty in parting with their goods. The wool market is im proving, both in price and demand. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—.WO have had a very flat market to-day, and scarcely anything has been done either in plain or fancy goods. The yarn market is languid, and the spinners have established a slight ad vance, though not equal to the increased cost of the raw material. The transactions in wool are pretty nu merous, but not so much so as they would be if the stocks in the market were larger; and the staplers are obtaining rather better prices. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—More business has been done in the cloth hall to. day than last week, principally in the lower class of goods. Trade has been fiat in the warehouses during the week, and not much has been doing today. Very few buyers having been in the town, those that have have bought direct from the cloth hall. VENEZUELAN BONDHOLDERS. The Venezuela bondholders will feel disappointed, we apprehend, at the supineness of the Legislature atCarac cas in not adopting the agreement made by their Gover nment with Mr. Lord, but, on the other hand, they may be gratified to learn by the correspondence annexed that the Finance Minister is likely to use proper exer tion to meet all engagements. The mistake which Mr. Lord points out in respect to provision being made twice over for the same dividend is a singular example of loose account keeping, that we should imagine to be pe culiar to Spanish American States The following is from Mr. Lord's letter, dated " La Guayra, 25th and 26th of May, 1852," received by the Committee in London:— "To the foregoing duplicate of my respects of 10th inst., I now beg leave to add that the Extraordinary Ses sion of Congress closed ou Sunday, the 23d, without the least notice having been taken of the agreement since the sth of April, the day on which the Chamber of Re presentatives postponed the further consideration of it for four days; and thus it remains, neither approved nor disapproved, to abide the course of events between this and the Congress of next year! Meantime in the law of ' ways and means' for the ensuing financial year, com mencing on the Ist of July next, there appears this item—' For the payment of the dividends on the Foreign Debt 700,000 dolls. ' " The project of law, as sanctioned by:the Lower Chamber, provided as follows:—For the current inte rest on the Active Debt at 3, 1 2 - per cent., and for interest on the Deferred at 1 percent., the sum of 495,554 24,; on account of arrear dividends 200,000; and it was al tered as above in the Senate. The former of the just mnntioned sums was composed of interest on Active Debt, at 3i per cent., 64,048,164, at 61 d0115.=400,305 dolls.; ditto on Deferred at 1 per cent., 15,2391. 173. 3d.; ditto ditt0=95,249,26—t0tal dolls. 495,554,26. But as the latter commences from Ist Ootober, 1852, clear it is that the half year's interest due on I s t April, 1853, should alone find place in the ensuing financial year. " I intend shortly passing another note to the Minister, simply to state that, under existing circumstances, I shall not ag a i n trouble him With my remon s trances, unt 1 I rec e ive fresh instructions from the Committee so to do. "On the 22d Messrs. Frederick Huth and Co. were named by the Executive Fiscal Agents of Venezuela in London. " Late yesterday afternoon (26th May) I received a note from the Minister, dated the 21st, of which I beg to enclose a copy. " The dividend of April, 1847, was duly paid by Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co., and yet the Minister again includes it for payment in his order to Messrs. Frederick Muth and Co. It was to obviate, as I thought I should do, the possibility of any mistake of this sort, that I furnished the Minister in May of last year with full particulars of the debt (vide my letter of 24th May, 1851, to the Committee), but it seems no at tention whatever has been paid to my information. (Signed) " 11. J. LORD." The following is a translation of the Finance Minis- ter's keter addressed to Baron de Goldsmid and the crher gentlemen of the Provisional Agency:— "Caracas, 21st May, 1852. " Gentlemen,—The Honourable Chambers not having been able to determine anything with regard to the agreement entered into by this Ministerial department with Mr. Lord in September last, matters remain in the same state as before. The Government, with the inten tion of satisfyieg the just claims of the British creditors, and whilst means are being obtained to arrange this busi ness satisfactorily for both parties, has resolved to ap point Messrs. Fr( derick Huth and Co. as financial agents for this Republic, authorising them henceforth to apprise the holders of the Venezaelan Active Debt that they may call on any appointed day and hour to receive the payment of their dividends. `• For greater facility and convenience to the bond holders, and by way of the natural consecutiveness of the Coupons, the assent to the agreement, as mentioned above, not having been given, Messrs. Frederick Iluth and Co. are commissioned to begin with the payment of the overdue dividends, namely, those of April and October, 1847, for which purpose you will place at their disposal the funds that have been remitted to you up to this date. In this manner the creditors will receive at once two dividends instead of one, since the Government remits by this packet the necessary funds thereto, and the Government will, subsequently, do all in its power to pay the dividends regularly. "I have the honour to remain, &e., (Signed) " PEDRO C. GELLINEAII." THE REV. J. E. GLADSTONE AND THE BISHOP OF LONDON. • We have been requested by the Rev. Mr. Glad stone to give insertion to the following letter, which he has just addressed to the Bishop of London : " Craven Hotel, Strand, June 22, 1852. " My Lord,—The Arches Court has decided that you have the power to prohibit a clergyman from preaching, without assigning any reason. The effect of that decision seems to be, that you can prohibit from preaching in all cases; for, although you cannot touch a rector's freehold you can command him to cease officiating, and if he resist, you can take him into the Court of Arches, where your will i s sure t o b e o b e y e d. Th e contest in which I have been engaged with your Lordship has been (as I conceive) on behalf of the liberty of presbyters against the irresponsible and unlimited domination of the prelacy. Had I been accused and found guilty of " nonconformity, heresy, or immorality," then none could or would have questioned your right to punish me; but as it has not ,even been pretended that any charge in these respects can be advanced to my pre judice, I have the alternative of seeking the reversal of the sentence by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; but as it appears that the great body of the clergy are content to abide in a position which I cannot but think to be one of galling slavery, in which, though under the vows of God " to preach the Word, to be in stant in season and out of season," they are liable to be stopped at any moment, even by the private whim, or pique of a bishop, who is not bound to give any reason fur his procedure, it does not seem to me to constitute my duty to carry the matter any further. The appeal to the Privy Council will therefore be withdrawn. " Whatever may be the conscientious feelings of others, however, I confess, my Lord, I cannot submit to such an administration of law as that which gives any one man power to punish another, without a crime even so much as charged against him. "Ardently attached to the true Protestant doc trine and righteous discipline of the Church of England, I shall ever, so far as God shall enable me, seek her welfare and prosperity ; but I must remove myself from the power of what I conceive to be an unrighteous discipline (altogether aloof from her spirit), which, whilst it screens and fosters the unfaithful, under the pretence of want of power, in flicts speedy punishment upon those who are too faithful, and finds abundant means of carrying that punishment into execution. " Under these circumstances, I have felt it to be my duty, in the sight of God, to accept the charge of the New Free Episcopal Church, just completed, at St. Mary Church, Devon, and I consider it to be right that I should acquaint your Lordship with the fact. " I beg also to inform you that I shall send a copy of this letter to the papers. "I remain, my Lord, faithfully yours, " JOHN E. GLADSTONE. " To the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Lord Bishop of London." DEVON AND CORNWALL MINERS' GOLD COMPANY. —Yesterday a general meeting of shareholders in this com pany took place at the offices in Clement's-lane, City ; Samuel Weatherley, Esq., in the chair. A resolution was submitted for the purpose of amalgamating this with the London and Sydney Gold Company, which, after leading to some discussion, was adopted unanimously. A vote of thanks was also passed to the chairman and directors for bringing about the amalgamation with the London and Sydney Gold Company. The meeting then adjourned. - - . - - TAKING A BULL BY THE HORNS.—A few days since as a bull was rushing in a furious manner through the streets of Caen, a soldier belonging to the 4th Carabi3eers stood courageously in the middle of the street to stop the animal. The moment the bull came within reach he seized it by the horns, arid by a quick and vigorous movement turned it over on the ground, and held it there until it could be properly secured.—[Very doubtful. ] TuE KINDEST OF MEN.-A Sheriff's officer is a mar t w h o neyer leaves another h Distress ./RICES OF SHARES iiv 3 A NKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.

No, indeA; but as they tell us in the name of that Lord who broke the bonds of Rome, "That south might be lineraily trained, old age fostered with things necessary for living, and liberal largesses of alms to the pour in Christ, and repa rations of roads and bridges, and other offices of piety teeming over from them might thence flaw abroad tar undwideto all the neighbouring places to the glory of Almighty God, end the common wellare and happiness of the subjects of the realm." Such, my Lords, were the purposes for which cathedrals were founded, with statutes so clear, that any one may read, and ordinances so plain that no one can misunderstand them. Such, the objects for which chapters were created, and bound to observe all and every one of them by oaths the most solemn, and sanctions the most binding. My Lords, had these statutes been faithfully observed; had the obligations of these oaths been indeed deeply felt; had their sanctity been truly revered; those objects would have been, must have been, fully realised, and the founder would not (to use his own words) have been defrauded of the expectation and wish with which, and for which alone, he endowed cathedrals, and incorpo rated chapters to perpetuate their endowments and administer their Government. Then, indeed, might they have been a support to the Church, a blessing and an honour to the nation, objects of veneration with the the rich, and of grateful affection to the poor, springs of good and useful influence, fountains teeming and fl - Acing over with all generous and kindly offices. When the ear heard of them, it would have blessed them; when the eye saw them it would have given witness of them. In stead of this, we find a bishop even in the olden times, complaining to the Queen of England, not without deep sighs, that the good offices required of cathedral chap ters were, in a manner, almost cleaned and varnished, and then praying her Most Sacred Majesty to take the matter up herself, so that the holy plant of her Father's hands might by her be well nourished and cherished, and so the Lord would bless, prosper, and multiply her days, to the great comfort of the Church, and all her most faithful subjects. Then, in later days, we read of one M.Y. telling the House of Commons, that to speak no less truly than plainly, deans and chapters did either just nothing, or nothing that was just, while an other said to the same assembly, "You see wherefore the lands were granted unto deans and chapters; what their statutes are, and their oaths to keep them. It might be thought that these men do know some way, another or nearer way to Heaven than they track us; or, otherwise, that they would not sit where they do without remorse of conscience. For it is notoriously known that not one of the said statutes are, or ever have been during my remembrance, kept, or the matters con tained in them performed, by any of the deans or pre bendaries of the cathedral. They come, indeed, once a year to receive the rents and profits, but do not distri bute unto the poor and needy their portion, and do not keep any common table; and, instead of preaching the word of God in season and out of season, they are and have been the chief hindrances to the same being done by others." But, my Lords, I will not dwell upon what the chapter plead ss their excuse—the invariable practice of their predecessors, for, only twelve years ago, said the Bishop of London, " very many of the cathedral statutes are notoriously disregarded, al though every dean and canon has taken a solemn oath to keep all and every of them." So said the late Lord Melbourne, "It is scarcely worth while to preserve bodies to per.orm duties which they have not performed for 300 years, while only a few net ntbs ego but one voice was heard in the Commons of England against a measure conceived and accepted in the spirit of the Bishop of Exster's declaration. That if the par ties who are now members of cathedral bodies shrink from the performance of the duties assigned to them, he should be very glad to abolish these institutions alto gether." And, if this be so—if institutions founded with such care —fortified with such bulwark—confided to such guardian—provided with means so ample—fur nished with resources so abundant—and placed in posi tions so commanding, have proved not the strongest ci tadels of our Zion, not the most impregnable fortresses of our Cburch,but her open weakness and her uncovered shame, until her v e ry friends have been fain to swell the cry of her foes, and have almost said, "Down with them, even to the ground"—my Lords, if this be so —and who can d e ny it ?—would the foun ders, and if not the founders, will you — I do not say dismiss—l will not say punish me, but even breath e u p on me th e most subdued whisper of the faintest, censure, for endeavours —hearty, sincere, and honest, as they have been—to avert a catas trophe so melancholy, to prevent an overthrow so humi liating and ignominious, by making these institutions faithfully and truly what their founders have declared they meant them to be. My Lords, those founders would not, and you cannot, condemn me, except for an inor dinate crime—a very grievous immorality. They would not, and you cannot dismiss me except for an aggravated delinquency—a gross violation of moral integrity; and I repeat that my exertions began in integrity, have been kept up in sincerity, as they are even now sustained by the consciousness of that justice which gives strength irresistible to the feeblest, and armour impenetrable to the most unprotected, while it unlocks the steel and un nerves the arm, and daunts the heart of him whose con science with injustice is corrupted. Bear with me, then, my Lord 9, if now at the last I say that cheerfully have I spurned delight, gladly and confidently have I lived laborious days in the task (I use the words of one of the most eloquent of living men) of trying to save from the operations of time and the worse injuries of an interested malversation, some of those monuments which yet remain to us of the genuine glory of our an cestors—trophies which they won in a pious and inno cent warfare, and left to commemorate triumphs un mingled with sorrow, unpolluted by blood, and gained over the worst enemies of the human race—ignorance and her progeny, vice. To labour in such I feel indeed a privilege, to toil in such a task I count indeed an honour; to succeed will in truth be a triumph unal loyed by any feeling of wrong, unsullied' by any act of dishonour, untarnished by any word of deceit, un truth, or shame. And even, my Lords, if in such a struggle I am to suffer more than I have already done— if this suffering is by your judgment and through your agenc y (by whom it least should) to be put beyond re paration, and denied all redress, my consolation will be that I suffer in a righteous cause—for principles which, "though beffl,d oft, yet ever win "—with the approval of my own conscience, and the deep and wide-spread sympathy of my fellow countrymen, iu the endeavour to regain for others advantages like those for which I am myself indebted for the princely living of the same founder, and to which many of the chiefest of England's intellectual and moral hierarchy owe everything which has made their lives precious to their country, and their career honourable to themselves. It may be—for human frailty will show itself in the best of actions, and weaken even the strongest cause—it may be that in doi©g so I have sometimes spoken with more plainness than prudence', with more anal than discretion, with more indignation at the wrongs of others than consideration for the comfort and welfare of myself. But, my Lords, before you im pute this to me as an inordinate crime, before you charge this against me as an aggravated immorality, stay, I pray you, a little, and reflect that deep impres sions, and firm convictions, and strong conviction, are not criminal; they are not immoral, they are not even blameable; they may be irresistible; and, as they alone, humanly speaking, enable a man both to do and to suffer, et fausre et parte festre, so they make him not studious of phrases so long as he keeps to facts, and in different about language so long as he tells the truth. My Lords, that is what I have done. I have not written a book which is untrue; I have not pub lished a calumny which I cannot prove. I have told the truth, which is great; and assuredly will she prevail, whatever power be arraigned against her. I have pleaded for justice, and assuredly will she assert her majesty and hold her own, whoever may usurp her rights and ignore her supremacy. If I have done this imprudently—if with any impropriety or for getfulness of my position, call not this an aggravated sin, visit not such a fault with anything like cruelty, approach it not with anything akin to partiality or vin dictiveness—leave all that to others. Do you rather, far rather, regard it with favour, be it only for the good which it has done, even if you cannot reward it with admiration for the feelings from which it has sprung; nay, my Lords, if you cannot, it' you will not follow your own better feelings, and bestow even a reluctant and faint-hued commendation where others have instinctively proffered the mead of unqualified praise, deny me not that consolation which honesty of purpose claims and has its claims allowed; withhold not that indulgence which is everywhere else shown to those who plead and prove continued provocation in others and the absences of all malice in themselves. Refuse me not, if you have any regard for the credit of our national justice; refuse me not, I say, that equity which is granted to the meanest criminal who elects "to be tried by God and his country;" remembering, in the words of a great writer, "As the man who attacks a flourishing estab lishment writes with a halter round his neck, few will be found to attempt alterations but men of more spirit than prudence, of more sincerity than caution, of warm, eager, impetuous temper; so that it' we are to w a it for calm, th the u d h i e s i c t r , e u e r t part j ters of State propose it, i will ofs i mankind provem ebegin , nt t ttillh the churchcool , tlie governors l with whom venture to pronounce, nothing is that without His int er p os i t i on impossible, we may remain as we are till the renovation My Lords, I have done .

THE REV. R WHISTON V. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ROCHESTER. The hearing of the appeal in the above case was re sumed yesterday morning, in the Arches' Court, Doc tors' Commons. The Bishop of Colchester, Mr. Baron Parke, and Dr. Luahington having taken their seats, Mr. COWLING resumed his argument, which was partly gone through on Friday last, in support of the decision of the dean and chapter of Rochester • and after going through the charges made by Mr. Whiston in detail, said that in looking at the interests of all in this ease, he had come to the conviction that the dean and chapter had acted properly in dismissing Mr. Whiston, however painful it might have been to do so; that they had no alternative, and that they would have shrunk from their duty if they had not done so. Therefore, he must with confidence submit that the judgment of the dean and chapter of Rochester must be affirmed. Mr. Whiston then rose to reply, and said that they had now heard the defence of the dean and chapter—a defence not got up on any emergency, but prepared after a length of time with great accuracy, and elaborated in the Court with practised advocacy, and they had come at last to the merits of the case, which they had never done before. Notwithstanding all that careful preparation, they had not denied—they had not contradicted—they had not gainsaid or attempted to gainsay one sub stantial fact that he had put forth in his pamphlet. The Learned Gentleman who had just sat down had in dulged iu a tirade of personalities and vituperation; but he thought it would have been more dignified on his part to have disproved those facts than to have taken so limited and partial a view of the case. Of the individual charges be had made, affecting, on their proof, his honour, his character, and his credit as a man, he had reason to congratulate himself and his friends that the result of the investigation, conducted through a court which he had all along deprecated, and while other tribunals were open to the dean and chapter, that he should pass through an ordeal of fire un injured in character, and unsullied in reputation, and through all the smoke which had been raised, which he trusted that he should soon be able to dispel. He then , 00k a survey of all the facts connected with himself and the dean and chapter previous to and subsequent to his second dismissal, and he refused to go before those who were to be judges as well as accusers, who had refused to supply him with evidence in their possession, and es pecially as he was required to appear alone before them, and thus be entirely at their mercy for what might take place. He would read to their Lordships the proceed ings, and opinion given by Bishop Parker, who was the visitor to Rochester School in 1560, and after investi gating all the facts, he gave it as his opinion that mo rality and decency did not flourish amongst the dean and chapter of Rochester. Had he been scurrilously disposed, should he not have put that fact forward in his pamphlet? The dean and chapter were the patrons of the Leper Hospital at Chatham, from which the present dean had drawn no less a sum than 5,6721. from its funds. Mr. Ersell knew that the money had been re ceived, and with the full knowledge of all that, bow could he be charged with male fides? As to the sup pressions of the three minor canons, it was distinctly stated in the deed of foundation that there should be for ever six minor canons, and by the statute " Da Vial tatione" it was stipulated that they should receive the munificent sum of 301. per annum. Now, it was found that 301. per annum would not keep the minor canon, and, to make up, livings were given to them. On the vacancies occasioned by the suppression of these three minor canons not being filled up, those livings were given to the friends and relations of the dean and chap ter, and that was the true story and history of the sup pression of these minor canons. Their Lordships would remember that a solemn decree and order was made by the chapter of Rochester in 1835, for suppres sing these minor canons. Now, he held in his hand a memorial addressed to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners nine months afterwards, to which was attached the name of the Rev. James Griffith, D.D., one of the present members of the chapter, objecting to the suppression of the great canonries, in which it was contended that such a system was " wrong in principle, and involved the subversion of ancient foundations; that, in fact, it wa s wrong to do what they had themselves done only nine months before. It went on to say further, that it was a " violation of the statutes, and also as regarded the oaths which were taken as wall by visitors as by other mem bers of cathedrals." At that time they had been vio lating these principles, and had suppressed three minor canons only six or nine months before. Mr. Whiston then went into a variety of details to show that small sums had been paid to persons for services and small pensions, leaving a large balance unappropriated. Dr. LUSISINOTON wished to know if the Crown neg lected to appoint to the vac ancies, was there any other amount? Mr. under the statutes to apply the Mr. Whiston said if the c anons took no care to inform the Crown of the vacancies , the dean and ch a p ter were morally, if not legally , responsible for such sums not having been appropriated. Their Lordships had been called upon by Dr. Addams, not to restore him to his office, for if they should reverse what had b een d one by them to the dean and chapter they would expose ob loquy. He submitted that their Lordships were not there to consider the feelings of the dean and chapter, but sat to administer justice, and would disregard any ad misericordiam appeal that might be made to them. Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce had said that if the go vernors of the school did not wish to continue with the master they bad a certain alternative, but when he men tioned the fact that their relatives and friends had re ceived no less a sum than 215 000/. out of the revenues the Church of Rochester, he, did not think they would consider it so disagreeable as to adopt that alternative. Irrespective of the rent charge, the boys were to be maintained out:of the cathedral revenues, and this pro. vision was much aggravated by the fact that the dean and chapter had, from time to time, professed so much reve rence for the intentions of the founder. He had been charged with asserting that the dean and canons divided the payments assigned to the suppressed offices, and he was p re pared with proof of that assertion. He would now address himself to the question of having written a ma licious libel. Mr. Whiston then cited several high legal authorities to show that if a man, bond fide made a state ment which might not be true in all its parts, but was made under an impression of its truth, and for the public benefit, that that could never be considered a malicious libel. If his pamphlet were false, why had they not filed a criminal information against him? Why, for the reason that they felt convinced that a jury would have returned a verdict in his favour. Mr. Whiston having read a lengthened extract from his pamphlet, to show that he had endeavoured by all peaceable and gentle means to obtain justice from the Bishop of Rochester and the clean and chapter, spoke as follows:—Such was the spirit, such the language in which, on Dec. 14, 1848, I addressed your Lordship, neither one nor the other be speaking the falsehood, the malice, or even the wanton ness of a libeller. If, then, in June, 1852, there is to be any favour—if you are not to plant your judgment on even ground—if there is to be any deflection from a scrupulous and nicely-poised impartiality, I submit most confidently that an appeal conceived in such a spirit, and couched in such terms, and notwithstanding unsuccess ful—claims from the tribunal more than others the most indulgent, nay, the most favourable construction of all my subsequent words and actions. If I deserved to be dismissed, this court is the last in England which should pronounce the judgment, for if the visitorial authority had been exercised as the founder intended, the pnblics tion for which I have been so vindictively dismissed would never have taken place. But besides this, your Lordships sit here with no original or general authority, but simply as representatives of the founder. As Black stone says:—" Tee visitor is to be guided by the inten tions of the founder, so far as they can be collected from the statutes, or the design of the institution." So says the Bishop of Lincoln—" In exercising my visito rial authority lam bound to confine myself within the limits prescribed by the founder for its exercise, as well as constantly to keep in view the purposes for which he con ferred it—that of carrying into execution his itatentions as exhibited in the statutes which he gave for the govern ment of his college. So, to o , my L re stricted by the same limitations a nd bound rs are by you the same obligations; and ther e f ore I ma in tain that you have neither legal nor moral right —you have no right at all —to pronounce any decision except what you believe the founders would pronounce if they could rise from their graves, walk into the court, and sit as judges in this case. And can any one —unless he be an incarna tion of the m os t unnatural scepticism—doubt what their intentions were, and what their judgment would be nay, would h ave b een months and years ago, and with , out hearing a tithe of what I have detailed proved? Why, my Lords, what are the facts of the case? What were the purposes and the objects which the foun ders had i n v i ew an d at h eart ? W ere t h ey to multiply dignitaries, to aggrandise deans, or enrich prependaries by munificent endowments from the constantly increas ing revenues, of which they alone should receive 0011. she stopped him, and asked him whether he would not give her somothing drink, and that he was ab : ut to Ica" her 7 ' hPa the two tad' , prisoners immediately Lu c t ., up, One on each side of hi m , took hod of him by the arms, and him what business he had to speak to their woman, That the w, , tnan then took hold of him, and i nstantly after went cff, and that t h e men, after having again questioned him about speaking to their woman, f o ll owed her. He said that very s h o rtly after they . decanop,d he miss e d his purse, containing a 50/. and five . 101. Bank o f E ng l an d notes , a nu mber of 101. notes of Gurney's bank, a cheque upon the East of England Bank for 891. 10s., a cheque upon another country bank for 301, and three or four sovereigns. The amount of property which, it appeared, had been in the purse a few minutes before h e met t h e woman was up wards of 5001. He described the woman and men by whom he had been robbed, and the description corre sponded with that of the three prisoners. Sir P. LAURIE—Do you know the prisoners? Wit ness—l know them to bo common thieves, who go about to fairs for the purpose of committing rob beries. Sir P. LAURIE—Were there any other persons near the spot at the time this took place? Witness—No; bat soon afterwards several parties came np, and advised the farmer to apply at once to the Norwich police. Mr. Josiah F. Rogers, of 75, Hounisditch, staymaker, said—Between half-past eight and nine o'cicck yester day evening, the female prisoner came into my shop to purchase a pair of stays. Slie examined several, stating that she wanted a pair for warm weather. I had never see❑ her before. She said she had just come from the country, I think from Cambridge. Alter about 10 minutes she selected a pair, and offered a 101. Bank of Norwich note in payment. I refused to change the note. I had noticed the two male prisoners outside waiting for her, and not liking their appearance, I immediately fol lowed them. They all turned into thshopsgate-street, and I crossed over to the station-house, and mentioned my suspicion to policeman 655, who followed them, with m 4-, to Mrs. Raymond's shop, No. 18, Bishopsgate-street Within. Mrs. Mary Raymond, bootmaker of Bishopsgate street, said—The female prisoner came to me to purchase a bonnet. She selected one, and presented to me a note of Gurney's bank, Norfolk. I could not get the country note changed, and she then handed me a 101. Bank of England note. One of the male prisoners was with her, and as I found a difficulty in procuring change, he said to her, " Never mind, leave the note with the lady till morning;" and they left the shop, stating that they would call in the morning. They told me they were going to emigrate to Australia next day. Policeman 655 said, when Mr. Rogers communicated with me respecting the female prisoner, we followed the three prisoners. The y oung woman, after a delay of about half an hear at Mrs. Raymond's, came to the door and looked about; she then returned, and in five minutes she came out and crossed the road and joined the men, who were waiting for her. Two other officers and myself then took them all into custody as they were going towards Stioreditch. In the station-house the girl dropped a bundle of banknotes on the floor. Sir P. LAURIE—DU any of our officers know the pri soners? —Sume of the principal police-coestablks who were present said they did not know any one of them. Mr. Dunne—At the last assizes a man named Dugard was transported for life for manslaughter, and the woman who was connected with that man was an intimate asso ciate of the female prisoner. The female searcher at the Moor•lane station-house said she found some banknotes in the young woman's dress. Another City policeman said, the prisoner Starkes ran away down Bishopsgate-street when he saw me ap proach him. As he was going along he put his hand in his right-hand coat-pocket, and drew out two handfuls of bank-notes, and what I believe was silver and gold. I caught him in Sun-street. A boy came up to me in Bishopsgate- street while I was following him, and handed to me seven 101. Norwich banknotes. Inspector Hamilton—l received twelve 101. Norwich banknotes from a person who found them in the street. In consequence of the addresses given by the three pri soners, I was induced to communicate by telegraph last night. The first reply I received was, that only two men were wanted, for sheepstealing. Not being satisfied with that answer, I telegraphed again, and received in a very short time the following communication:—" It is a rob bery. Detain the parties. The police will be up by the first train." Mr. Dunne—l directed that answer to be sent, and I came up in the first train. lam convinced that the pri soners are the persons who took the money. Upon being informed of the robbery, I caused bills to be immedi ately circulated. In the bills it was stated that the money was " lost," and the loser with difficulty allowed the issue, in the apprehension that some unpleasantness might arise from the statement at home. Sir P. LAURIE—The manner in which the matter was conducted reflects great credit upon the persons engaged in the detection of the robbery, and excel lently illustrates the amazing facilities of communica tion with all parts of the country. Da the prisoners wish to say anything? The woman—All I have to say is, that I found the notes and I know nothing more about them. Wilson—l had nAhin,g at all to do with any notes. Starkes—Nor I. It's all a mystery to me. Toe prisoners were then sent back to prison, and the loser of the property was ordered to attend end identify it, immediately after which they will be com mitted for trial.
