IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.. HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 23. COLONI AL CHURCH. • (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) lir. HORSMAN said they ought to proceed with great caution in this matter. The principles must be shown to be clear and unambiguous, but ho was sorry to say he was at a loss to discover what really was the abject 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 DO 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 epeech 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 of—it was a dangerous and encroaching party, whose tactics could he gathered from the fact that its organ had made a speech on such a day and at such a 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 manly and straightforward, and it must be gratifying to the House 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 good could possibly result from the adoption of this reso lution, but the Right Hon. Gentleman wanted it to pass, to print his Bill and send it out to the colonies. That might Ise the avowed object, hut•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 system the colonies, in the hope that they mightobtenthnOwteletj..ecefrcahwntuwrici, enabled to introduce it at home. Their re a l to destroy the free spirit and pure simplicity for the purpose of substituting in its c, edifice and the worst and most hoped, how laoueioaus' form g of episcopal and priestly domination.and pr ever, Parliament would continue on its guard event this. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said that the bishops of d s e w q h u a e i n the colonies had been deterred from meeting consequenceownpenal e s. sai o d course the Right Hon. Gentlemande the liberty of disbe lievingbut he (Mr. Horsman) it altogether. would t?ps . had already met in synod, as everybody in the lohzes knew. Who was then , for so doing, to prosecute ior under while e a be prorecuted? He certainly law were they to this Bill, and objected protested against its beingdreeisraitted to the colonies in its present ehape. Considereeg the dangers and difficulties which now sur rounded the Cdinrch, any legislation for the distant colo _ies oug ht to be attended with great car e a n d caut i on . i te thou ght this was a proposition most dangerous and absurd, and he hoped that when the Government came next year to redeem the pledge which he understood they had given, to legi s lat e on this subject, they would do so on principles clear, defined, and intelligible. Sir W. P. WOOD regretted that the Hon. Member for Cockermouth should invariably impeach the motives of any Hen. Member who might chance to differ from him in any opinion, and impute to him sinister and dis honest reasons for such differences.—(Hear, hear.) The other day it was himself (Sir W. P. Wood) who had been impugned with reference to the view which he bad 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 i!s real object was to establish eta 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. Tne Hou. 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 bishops had done great good, Many of them had been sent to a heathen 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 ender the colonial bishops had increased threefold, from.soo to 1,600, and in the Cape of Good Hope they had increase sixfold. The 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 foroe, energy, and vitality which it possessed when duly organized. In effecting this object, he hoped the Hon. Member for Cockermouth would join, laving aside his prejudices for once, and endeavour to aid the causeof Christian truth by adhering to Christian charity. Mr. BUTT strongly objected to this Bill, to the intro-1 daction of which ho 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 be had felt greatly grievefiby the tone which the Right Hon. Gentleman. the. Secretary for the Colonies had adopted in his speech• on the second reading of the former Bill. The language, however, which the Right Hon. Gentle man had used to-day had convicted him (kr. Gladstone) that the expressions he then used lay within the fair' _limits of debate; and hrwished sponetneously to Say that ho eniirely withc_lrow atytliing which he might have said when lebouring ntSlety'his first impression, and re gretted ever having used thtm. Sir J. PAKING TON . said he most cordially accepted the Right Hon. Geetletrearda epelogy. The resolution was then Agreed to, end the Ch airman being directed to reeve for loam to bring in a Bill to sweeud the lewsdelating to the Colonist Church, the House resurnaii, and leav , was to brin; - .; in the Ed ?yis fROPOLi rAN BUitIALS BILL. The !loos° then went into Committee on this Bill, commeociem o with c:4use 38. The retuaininx . clluses of the Bill were agreed to. • Mr. T. DUNCOMIiE proposed a clause exempting . from tar.ltion horses and carriages kept for funeral pur poses only. The CHA.NCJELLOR 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 . eary to go into a Committee of the whole House, and move a speoial resolution with regard to this parti cular tax. The amendment W 39 then withdrawn. Sir W. MOLESWORTH• moved a clause providing • compensation for the owners of burial growl& which might be closed by the operation of this Bill. The CHAIRMAN said the same objection would ap t 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 brief dislussion the clause was added to the Bill. The pre amble was afterwards agreed to, and the House resumed. • The r.-port w,s ordered to be received to-morrow. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (AMEND.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. On, the motion for. the third reading of this Bill, Arr. PETO said that he had the honour of being , called to the C omm i ss i on l a st a pp o in te d on the subject 'of the metropolitan sewers, and with him. were asso ,ciated .M.r. Stephenson, Mr. Ikeda, Sir W. Cubitt, end sivt - ral other gentleman connected with the public: warns of the kingtioa. It :va3 distinctly understood on the part of the Govzrument and the Commission that the attettioa of the Commioioners wa to he directed un realittingly,to the consideration .of. plans for the sew e ra g e of tacino:ropolis.

They done s 3 i 7 on this ground, that them , had 0 , they n• n -ctled, had good faith WO viiitt . thgallti did 11 ' 4 Ule44 ion tho part of the pre sent Govennmeet—he entirely exonerated them—but by -the4ate Government. The Commissioners were appointed to perform a great public duty, and so far as they were concerned they had entirely fulfilled it. When they took;office they found the whole affairs of the Commission, from a misunderstanding that had existed on the part of the former Commissioners, in a most disorgauized state, and ho would mention one circumstance to show the mode in which the business of the Commission bad been carried on. A confidential paper ad dressed to one of the late Commissioners, occupying a place also in the ne w C omm ission, although i headed " private and confidential," had found its way into the public papers, and the first time he saw it was in the public press. He and his colleagues felt that an office in such a state of di sorgan i za tion did requiretobe: re-or ganiz2d, and th a t d u ty they had fulfilled. h They also matured plans for the sewerage; but, having don e so , they found they were not in a position to borrow money. The Act under which they were performing their the oef imposition Commissioners of a small f a o l r i duty was so imperfect that, although h he bad ent ere d into negotiations on t he par theloan of three-quarte rs of a million, to be returned in about thirty years by h rate on the metropolis, it C7a3 found that no party could safely make the loan. They felt they were placed to a most onerous position, which only those who ere • ass a , ork s no to prospect which h e were ac quainted with the state of the metropolis could o f or m an ocinion of; and feeling how urgent was the ne ofh had t er c 3s sit y of fi carrying adi ng that t there the u e7ng re ferred, and ca rried out, they had felt it th e i r d u ty t o res i gn; for however 371XiCUS they were to fulfil a public duty, yet they were not prepared to remain in an invidious po sition, and to be pointed et as not carrying out works with which the interests and morality of the metropolis were so much connected. The drainage of the metro , polis would req • uire at least 1,000,0001., and that amount cou ld not be acquired in any other way than by loans for a period of about thirty years, and to be repaid by a rate not higher than 6d. in. the poand. It had been said that the plan propospd by the Commissioners was to maks 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, cut 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 HOD. Fiend 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- Jig Bills, to.which their Lordships had agreed:— Passengers' Act Amendment. Poor-law Commission Continuance (Ireland). Representative Peers for Scotland Act Amendment. Adams's Estiee. Differential Dues. Cork Improvement, without amc'ndment. Great Western, Shrewsbury and Birmingham, Shrews bury and Chester, Shrewsbury and Hereford, Birken head, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction, and Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester Railway Companies.

Viscount JOCELYN moved for copies of the evidence and report of a Commission appointed to inquire into a charge preferred against his Highness Meer Ali Monad, Anse:it..of 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 correspondence on the Indian Records con nected with the charge; tend, of the report on Sinde of Sir Geo rge C ler k , K.U.B. late Governor of Bombay, dated th e 2 4th day of April, 1848. The Noble Lord, in making the 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 ego the Sinde question was supposed to have been finally disposed cf; but since then many new matters had come 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. Is 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 for. The papers had not been returned to the secret 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 reed to the recollection of the House the incidents and results of the campaign in Shade, which began in 1838, and terminated is 1842. In 1841 Sir Charles Napier came upon - the Sinde scene, and immediately concluded en alliance with Ali Morad, which so alarmed Meer Koostun that he threw himself upon the mercy of the British General. £ho British General, however, instead of rendering him assisiance, referred him to his brother, to Ali Morad, and in 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, esp,used his cause, and a terrible battle ensued between them and the British forces. The natives were defeated, and then it transpired that Ali Mond, through the instrumentality of a forged alteration, which he had introduced into a treaty, had secured property which belonged by conquest to the British Government. A Commission was then appointed to investigate this charge, which was made at the instance of Meer Koos tan, and the forgery was proved. Is Was also established that the charges which had been preferred against Meer Koostun of conspiring, with the Court of Lahore, against the British Government, were wholly withcint foundation, and the evidence upon which they were attempted to be supported to be pure fabrication. Subsequent e ve n ts , and after discoveries, had only tendea to confirm the innocence of Meer Koostun, and it was only au act of justice to that unfortunate prince that he now asked tor the production of these papers, which would redound alike to 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 tin Iu 1842 the opinion of the Governor- General was entirely in favour of the unfortunate Meer Koostun. But a few years later that unfortunate prince had been a homeless wanderer. He (Lop Jocelyn) Lied' received innumer a bl e l et t ers f rom o ffi cers w h o h a d long d 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 re &aced to :settle' distress. Tho wives of these princes had remained at Hyderabad, whore they lived in a hovel without even a mat on the floor, and scarc e ly protecte d f rom t h e weather. 'Tip 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 into 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 ho felt it to be an honour and pleasure to second the motion of his Hon. Friends 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 !lon. Friend. Mr. BAILLIE considered that the speech of the Noble Lord had very little reference to the motion which be had submitted to the House. He was surprised teat 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 stanetionad the acts of which the Noble Lord complained, and of which he was, notwithstanding, a member. • Six 'o'clock having arrived, the discussion was ad journed tiltto-morrow. FRANCE. Viscount Edouard Walsh, a Legitimist, has writ ',en to the newspapers from Vienna to state that he has declined to receive the sum of 22,000 F. awarded to him by the Directeur des Beaux Arts, for the re storation of his chateau of Chaumont, on the banks of t n t_L .. cir_ . ,e . which is considered an historical monu- Cr tne bits reason is, he states, that his acceptance of Political point was 'malevolently misrepresented in a . point of view ; and that he is anxious to prove that he he has defended not ceased to be devoted to the principles A afended all his life. , adci er:t a phie dispatch from Constantine, of the 13 th announe, a e t ,ad. to the Governor-General of Algeria, put do rt the insurrection of the Haractas has The principal part of the insurgents bad comet 4 4i Pitched their tents near the French efo d rCe 'l s tit i e ll 'a X t ra pps, hay' delegates to ask for the Aran. t e re who has taken the command of spot.

STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Advices by the Cambria inform us that there was a giving way in cotton of A -c. per lb. at New York, oa the 6th inst., after the Great Britain had left that port; but that the market recovered its tone in some degree, partially rising 4c. on the re ceipt of letters to the 25th ult. from Liverpool, yet clos ing heavily, with a very small amount of operations. The southern markets continue dull. The accounts of the growing crop were no less favourable than before. These ad vices had a somewhat unfavourable effect yester day upon the Liverpool market, which was spiritless, the sales being only 4,000 to 5,000 bales, with a slight 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 hes 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 depaitment, 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 small adv ;nee latterly contended for is no less than before a bone of contention. Some purchases of the lower qualities of shirtinga for India have been made to-day; tne better sorts, however, but little inqaired after. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.--We have had a brisk demand for pieces, at former 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 guods. 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 flat in the warehouses during the week, and not much As been doing to-day. 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 theirGovern meat with Mr. Lord, but, on the other hand, they may b 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 tame dividend is a singular example of loose account keeping, that we should imagine to bo 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' fur 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 3i. per cent., and for interest on the Deferred at 1 per cent., the sum of 495,554 24,; on account of errear dividends 200,000; and it was al tered as above in the Senate. The former of the just mentioned sums was composed of interest on Active Debt, at 3fr per cent., 64,048,164 at 6/ d0115.=400,305 delis.; ditto on Deferred at 1 per cent., 15,2391. 17!. 3d.; ditto ditt0=95,249,26—t0tal dolls. 495,554,96. . , But as the latter commences from Ist Ootober, 1852, clear it is that the half-year's interest due on Ist 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 again trouble him with my remonstrances, unt.l I receive fresh instructions from the Committee so to de. "On the 22i Mews. 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 Hath and Co. It was to obviate, as I thought I should do, the possibility of any mistake of this sort, that.l furnished the Minister in May of last year with full particulars of the debt (vide my letter of 24:h May, 1851, to the Committee), but it seems no at tention whatever has been paid to my information. (Signed) " H. J. LORD." The following is a translation of the Finance Minis tet's letter addressed to Baron de Goldsrnid and the order 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 satisfying the just claims of the British creditors, and whilst means are being obtained t o ar r a nge this busi ness satisfactorily for both parks, has resolved to ap point Messrs. Frederick Huth and Co. as financial agents for this Republic, authorising them henceforth to apprise the holders of the Venezuelan 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 Huth 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 hsvo the honour to remain, &c., (Signed) " PEDTtO C. GELLINEAU." THE REV. J. E. GLADSTONE AND THE BISHOP OF LO.NDON. 'We have been requested by the R3V. 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 hare 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 cares; 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 is sure to be obeyed. The contest in which I have been engaged with your Lordship has been (as I conceive) on behalf of the liberty of presbyters against the irreeponaible 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 prep judico, 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 ono 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 for his procedure, it does not seem to me to constitute meeduty to carry the matter any farther. 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 doe trine and righteous discipline of the Church of England, I shall ever, so far as God shall enable ms, 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 bo 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. "1 :male, my Lord, faithfully yo,urs, " JOHN E. GLID3TJNt. " To the Right Hon. and Right Rev. Lord Bishop of London."

THR ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL TRUSTS. 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 De.' Lushington 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 case, 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 bad 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 be had put forth in his pamphlet. The Learned Gentleman who had just sat down had in dulged in 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 he bad made, affecting, on their proof, his honour, his character, and his credit as a man, he hsd 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. Ho then ook a survey of all the facts connected with himself and thealean 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 ho was required to a pp ear 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 leave put that fact forward in his pam phlet? The dean and chapter were the patrons of the Leper Hospital at Chatham, from which the present dean had drawn no less a sun/ than 5,6721. from its , funds. Mr. Ersell knew that do money bad been re ceived, and with the full knowledge of all that, bow could he be charged with male fides? A 3 to the sup pressions of the three minor canons, it was distinctly stated in the deed of foundation. that there should be foe ever. six minor canons, and by the statute " Da Visi- Winne" dt 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 tha; was the true story and history of the sup pression of these minor canons. Tneir 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, AD., one of tho present members of the chapter, objecting to the suppression of the great canonries, in which it seal contended that such a system was " wrong in principle, and involved the subversion of ancient foundations;" that, in fact, it was wrong to do what they had themselves done only nine months before. It went on to 6v farther, that it was a " violation of the statutes, and also as regarded the oaths which were taken as well by visitors as by other mem bers of cathedrals." At that time they had been vio lating these principles, and bad 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. LIISHINGTON wish©d to know if the Crown neg lected to appoint to the vacancies, was there any other way under the statutes to apply the amount? Mr. Whiston said if the canons took no care to inform the Crown of the vacancies, the dean and chapter 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 the dean and chapte r they would expose them to ob loquy. Ho submitte d that their Lord s hi ps 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 had a certain alternative, but when he men tioned the fact that their relatives and friends had re ceived no less a sum than 215 0004 out .of the revenu es the Church of Roc hester, he did not think they would csnsider it so disagreeable as to adept that alternative. Irrespective of the rent charge, the boys were to be maintained out:of the cathedral revenues, and this pros vision wa s much ag gravated 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 prepared 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, bona 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 jars would have returned a verdict in his favour. Mr. Whiston having read a lengthened extract from his pamphlet, to show that be had endeavoured by all peaceable and gentle means to obtain justice from the Bishop of Rochester and the detuf e 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 iu suoh 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 publica 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:—" The visitor is to be guided by the inten tions of the founder, so far as they can bo collected from the statutes, or the design of the institution." So says the Bishop of Lincoln—"ln exercising my.visito rite,. authority lam bound to confine myself within th e POLICE INTEtLIGENCE. limits proscribed by the founder for its exorcise, as well as MANSION-HOUSE. constantly to keep in view the purposes for which he • ohn Wilson, Mary` Ann Stagg, about 18 years old, J . con-(erred it—that of carrying into execution hii intentions as aged 23, and Charles Starhes,.aged g w brought exhibited in the statutes which he gave for the yon before Sir P.

If I have done this imprudently—if With any impropriety or for getfulness of my position, call not this en aggravated sin, visit not such a fault with anything like cruelty, approach it not with anything akin to partiality or via dictiveness-r-leave all that to others. Do you rather, far rather, regard it with favour, be it only for the geod• 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, if you will not follow your own better feelings, and bestow even a reluctant and taint• 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 mo not, I say, that equity which is granted to the meanest criminal who elects "to be tried by Gcd and his country;" remembering, in the words of a groat 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 Inure spirit than prudence, of more sincerity than caution, of warm, eager, impetuous temper; sot that if we adrieseretoetwpaeitrt,toerf improvement till the cool, the calm,the mankind begin, till church governors solicit, or Minis ters of State propose it, I will venture to pronounce, that without His interposition with whoni nothing is impossible, we may remain as we a re till th e renovat i on of all things." My Lords, have done. May your judgment be such as the universal acclaim of England will at once r a tify, an d t h at " still small voice" which whispers in the unseen tribunal of your own hearts will never condemn; and I have no fear or misgiving as to what that judgment will be. The Bishop of Re.czrEsTßa;—We will consider what judgment we will give. stantly increasing revenue©; while the stipends of other objects of their bounty remained without any aug mentation in amount, and were constantly dimin ishing in value? No, indeed; but as they tell old a e ' s t red Of ta ißoale n the name of th a t L or d w h o b ro k e. th e bonds "That with y t ou iline lm s necessary igb tbeliberally trained, for living, and ses of alms to the liberal l arges ge fostered poor in Christ, and reps 'ens of roads and bridges and other offices of piety te eming over f rom them might thence flow abroad and wide to all the hbo •ng places to the glory of Al mighty God, and tho neighbouring common welfare and happiness of the subjects of the 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 wore 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 objecte would have been, must have been, fully realised, and the founder would not (to use his own words) have been defrauthd of tho expectation and wish with which, and for which . alone, ho 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 flowing over with all generous and kindly offices. When the ear heard of them, it would have blessed them; when the eyo saw them it would have given witness of them. In stead of this, we find a bishop oven in the olden times, complaining to the Queen of England, not without deep sighs, that the good offices required of cathedral chap tent 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 ono M.P. 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, 'senile an other said to the same assembly, "You see wherefore the lands were granted unto deans and chapters; what their statures are, and their oaths . to keep them. It might be thought that those. 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 over 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 as their excuse—the invariable practice 'of their predecessors, 'for, only twelve years ago, said the Bishop of " very fleetly of the eathedral statutes • are notoriously disrege rded, alp 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 perform duties which they have not performed for 300 years, while only a few months ego but one voice was heard in the Commons of" England against a measure conceived and accepted in the spirit of the Bishop of Exeter'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 Church,but her open weakness and her uncovered shame, until her very 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 deny 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 breathe upon me the most subdued wbieper of the faintest censure, for endeavours—hearth 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 those 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 deliequeecy—a gross violation of moral integrity; end 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 Lords, 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 commomorato triumphs un mingled with sorrow, unpolluted by blood, and gained over the worst enemies of the human race—ignorance and her progeny,.vico. To lahoer in such I esel 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 str uggle I am to suff er more than I have already done— if this suffering is by Tsui judgment and through your agency (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 bsffld oft, yet ever win "—with the approval of rriy own conscience, and the deep and wide-spread sympathy of my fellow countrymen, in the endeavour to regain for others advantages like those for which I em myself indebted for the princely living of the same founder, and to which many of the chiefest of England's intellectnal sold 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 doing so I have sometimes spoken with more plainness than prudence, w ith more zeal 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 mo 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 stroag conviction, are not criminal; they are not immoral, they are not even blameable; they may he irresistible; and, as . they alone, humanly speaking, enable a man both to do and to suffer, et facere 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 es he tells the truth. My Lords, that is what I have clone. 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 wil' she prevail, whatever power be arraigned agains her. I have pleaded for. justice, and assuredly w-' she stopped him; and mired him whether he would not give her something to drink, and that he was ahint to !nave her when the two in..de prisoners immediately came up, one on each side of him, took hold of hira by t" arms , an d as k e d hi m w h at b us i ness heliad to sp, - ?ak to th e i r woman, t h at t h o woman t h en t o ok hold of him, and instantly after went off, and that the' rneu, after having again questioned him about speaking to their woman, followed her. He said that very shortly after they decamped he missed his purse, containing a 501. and five 101. Bank of England notes, a number of 101. notes of Gurney's bank, a cheque upon the East of England Bank for 891. 103., a cheque upon another country bank for 301, and th ree or four sovereigns. The amount of property which, it appeared, had been in the purse a minutes before he met the woman was Up wards of 5001. He described the woman and nien by whom. he had been robbed, and the description corre sponded Kith that of the three prisoners. Sir P. LAURIE—Du you know the prisoners? Wit ness—l know these to be common thieves, who go about to fairs for the rurpose of committing rob beries. Sir P. LAIIP.IE—Were there any other persons . near the spot at the time this took place? Witness—No; but scam afterwards several parties came np; and advised the farmer to apply at once to the Norwich police. Mr. Josiah F. Rooters, of 75 Houndsditch, vtaymaker , said- , --Between halepa3t eight and nine o'cicck yester day evening, the female prisoner came into my shop to purchase a pair of stays. She examined several, stating that she wanted a pair tor warm weather. I had never seen her before. She said she had just come from the country, I think from Cambridge. Atter about 10 minutes she selected a pair, and offered a 101. Bank of Norwich note iu 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 Bishopsgate-street , and I crossed over to the station-house, and mentioned my suspicion to policeman 655, who followed them, with me, to Mrs. Raymond's shep,'No. 18, Bishopsgate-street Within. • Mrs. Mary • Raymond, bootmaker of • Bishopegate street; said— rhe female prisoner came to ine to purchase bonnet. She selected one, and presentedlo me • note ofGurney'sbank, 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 tis I fulled 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 cell 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 young woman, after a deftly of about half an hour .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 Shoreditch. In the station-house th'e girl dropped a bundle of banknotes on the floor. Sir P. LAURIE—Do any of our officers know the pri soners?—Some of the principal police-constables who were present said they did not know any one of them. Mr. Duane—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 woo 'elate inf'the female prisoner. • The female seemlier 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 BLhopsgate-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—Freceivud 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 io 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 every 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. 1)3 the prisoners wish to say anything? The womaa—All I have to say is, that I found the notes and I know nothing more about them. Wilson—l had nothing at all to do with any notes. Starkes—Nor I. It's all u mystery to me. The prisoners were teen sent back to prison, and the loser of tho property was ordered to attend and identify it, immediately after which they will be com• milted for trial. THE CO (IN v A KKET S.
