The investment of money with this Association, which was established in May, 1841, on a plan peculiar to itself, secures equal advantages to the surplus capital of the affinent, and the provident savings of the industrial classes of the community, and affords an opportunity for realising the highest rate of interest yielded by first class securities, in which alone the money is employed. Moneys deposited with the Association, for Investment, are exempt from liabilities on account of life contingencies, as well as the expenses of management, which are borne by the Life Depart ment, in consideration of the business brought to it by Investment transactions ; therefore, Depositors enjoy the entire profits yielded by their capital free from deduction of any kind—an advantage which no other Institution, either public or private, holds forth, or can afford, to its members. Interest or Dividend, is payable half-yearly, in January and July. Capital Stock, £lOO,OOO. The Capital Stock is altogether distinct and separate from the Depositors' Stock in the Investment Department. It constitutes, with the Premium Fund, a gnarautee for the engagements of the Association, and has been provided in order to render the security of the Assured complete. LIFE DEPARTMENT.

SOLICITORS. — Messrs. Hughes, Kearsey, and Masterman, London, BROKERS.—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite. The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances ; for granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi • ties ; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin cipal stations on the Overland nutes to India, and at the different establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts and credits ; and for all other legitmate banking business. The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium of deposits and ,nvestment for the Indian community, whilst the sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the bank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and profitable return upon the capital invested, and will, it is confidently expected, justify the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. The great success which has attended the operations of the exist ing • anking establishments in this country, connected with the East Indies, and of the well-conducted 1 ical banks in the different Pre sidenciec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital in similar undertakings by the extension of commerce and railways, has led to the formation of the Bank of India. The extension of banking facilities necessary to meet the growing requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and military establishments of India, and the development of the sources of wealth of that country which mast arise from its improved internal communication by the railways projected and now in progress there, will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the Bank at its different branches. The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter course now existing between these two cauntries. The certainty and rapidity of this communication will be further increased by the new lines of railway now hi progress on the conti nent of Europe and in Egypt, and by the agency of the electric and sub-marine telegraphs about to be established by powerful companies already in operation. Arrangements are in progress to secure to this Company the co operation and support of some of 'the largest native merchants of India, which will extend the operations of the Bank amongst that class of tivi oinmutiity. Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia bility of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the capital of the Company to 2,000,0001. sterling, in which event the new shares will, in the first instance, be offered' for distribution amongst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered likely to extend the business of the Bank. The arrangements nor the constitution of this Company are now nearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board of Directors, will be pablished in a few days.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearthl consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists.

Oa the 28th of May, however, I was most violently seized with that dreadful dis order, and for the first four hours was in a deplorable state ; but, thank Nod, from the precautions I had used, the noxious air had passed through my body, with very slight attacks of the cramp, and a few strong doses of the Universals soon restored me to health. All my men, except one (who was too timid to take the Pills with sufficient strength, from the fear, of being too 'violently purged, who died in a few hours), took the Pine night and morning, and were saved.

GREAT ExrunrrioN, 185 1....C1TY OF LONDON CcarmiTTEE.— We uodersta nd that the committee have con vened a meeti n g at the London Tavern , to be held on Friday , the Ist of October, a t twelve o'clock precisely, for the dis tribution of the m edals, certificates, and juries' reports, con nected with that section of the Great Exhibition. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. HERALD.—I n our article on Saturday on the proceedings of the Bishop of Exeter, we perhaps ought to have stated the fact, that Mr. Prynne had denied having received the girl in question for con fession ; but we were led away from the consideration of that point by the language of the Bishop in his judgment, in which he assumes as true the fact that Mr. Prynne did actually receive the confession which Mr. Prynne in one place " solemnly assures" the Bishop be never did receive, although certainly in another place he admits that he had once a short conversation with the girl on " the subject of con firmation and holy communion." Putting aside, however, for the present the point, whether or not the scenes, as described by the girls, really did pass at confession with Mr. Prynne; let us inquire to what extent at confession, according to his own showing, Mr. Prynne admits that he will go, a t the same time remembering that it is that same extent which the Bishop justifies and approves. " I beg to assure your Lordship," says Mr. Prynne in his written address to the Bishop, " that I never put any such questions to any one in my life as are suggested in the statement, or anything like such questions. I should deem it as corrupting to do so as lam sure your Lordship would." So far so good. We have nothing to find fault with in this general and positive denial. But then comes the qualification —" I put questions," he says, " under the circum stances which I have already stated to your Lord ship—viz., in order to assist a person to make a com plete confession of sins, which they have upon their conscience,,but have a difficulty in naming, or in order, sometimes, where they seem ignorant, to bring more fully home to their conscience the degree of their guilt." ' ll "On the seventh commandment, trust I have been most cautious not to suggest evil to the penitent, but judicious questions." Here, then, we have a deli heraM!, explanation by Mr. Prynne, addressed to his diocesan, of the ordinary rules by w hich he is guided at confession. From that explanation we learn that the seventh com mandment is a subject -matter of confession, and that although he has been " most cautious not do s uggest evil," he has, nevertheless, suggested " judi cious questions." Now, we should really be glad if Mr. Prynne would explain what possible " questions," on such a subject, he imagines can be " judi cious" without some admixture of " evil." But the preceding part of his explanation throws a pretty strong light upon the nature of these " questions. They are put, he says, "in order to assist a person to make a complete confession of sins which they have d, difficulty in naming." Now what can these sins be which those who come to confession " have a difficulty in naming" but sins of sensual impurity, which the apostle says" ought not so much as to be named amongst you " Mr. Prynne, therefore, admits that he encourages " the penitent" (accord ing to the avowed practice of the Popish Church) to make to him, in gross terms, filthy sensual reve lations, w hich one man ought to be ashamed to make to another, but which this middle-aged clergy man of the Church of England entices females to m ake to him, even when they have " a difficulty in naming them," under the foul and wretched pretence of enabling them to relieve their consciences by con fession. We do not think that we ever in our lives read a more revolting statement than this explanation of Mr. Prynne's. That a Romanist priest should be guilty of such loathsome proceedings is so far excu sable, that it is inculcated on him as a duty by the anti-Christian Church of which he has the misfortune to be a minister; but that a clergyman of our Pro testant Church should thus undisguisedly confess to practices so sinful and disgusting, betrays an obli quity in his moral sense, and an indifference to the first principles of the pure religion of Jesus Christ, which fill the mind with mingled feelings of awe and indignation. Would that we could stop here. But, alas ! alas ! this disgusting conduct is actually com mended by one of the prelates of our Church. The man who avows it is singled out by his Bishop for his special countenance and favour ! The Bishop says that " he acquits Mr. Prynne of holding doctrine not in accordance with the Church of England!" The Bishop, moreover, avers that it is a fitting employ ment for a clergyman of his diocese to sit and listen to a young girl of twelve years old, detailing " hor rors" of the most extreme impurity ; and if perchance she has any modesty left, and she experiences some " difficulty in naming," by the right names, the filthy actions of which she has been guilty, or if perchance " she seemed ignorant" how to do so with correctness, then the Bishop approves of this clergyman putting such questions to her as shall remove her " difficulty" and inform her " ignorance," so that she may " make a complete confession of her sins." " I must say," said this Right Reverend Father in God, Henry, Lord Bishop of Exeter, " I must say, from all that has been produced to-day, I entirely acquit Mr. Prynne, even of indiscretion in receiving confession. Such is the language of the Bishop of Exeter ! 'We dare not trust ourselves to comment on it. POST.—An inquiry has recently been held at Plymouth, by the Bishop of Exeter, into the conduct of a clergyman, charged with having received certain confessions in a manner repugnant to the principles of the Church of England. It would be desirable, if possible, to exclude questions of religious controversy from the daily papers. But we live in an age when the Church is passing through a severe ordeal—in an age, too, when the press is enlisted on every side of every subject. It is, therefore, not possible, greatly as we desire it, to avoid at all times the discussion of theological questions. This must be our apology for offering a few remarks upon the case of the Rev. G. R. Prynne. That gentlemen bas, it appears, been in the habit of receiving to confession certain persons in his district, and amongst them some young persons con nected with Miss Sellon's establishment at Eldad. This coming to the ears of certain parties not of the same theological principles as Mr. Prynne, an inquiry is set on foot among some of the young persons who had gone to confession. The consequence is, that two or three clergymen at Plymouth, well known as the leaders of every kind of opposition to the Bishop and to High Church principles in general, lodged with the Bishop a formal complaint against Mr. Prynne, which resolved itself into these four charges :- 1. The confessional is within the church. 2. That the confession is carried on secretly, not as in Roman Catholic churches, where the parties may be seen by the passers-by. 3. That (at least in the case of the girls belonging to the Orphans' Home) it is periodically and compulsively carried on. 4. That this compulsive and periodical system is enforced upon very young children, i. e., from twelve years of age. These charges, the Bishop decided, did not bring Mr. Prynne within the operation of any spiritual or temporal law; and he therefore adopted a purely , extra-judicial course. He fixed a day for the ac cusers and accused to appear face to face befor him in the presence of a select number of clergy and laity, and seven reporters for the press. The reason of such an arrangement is not very obvious. It surely rested with the Bishop, as Bishop, to investigate a charge against a presbyter without holding a meeting for the purpose, and that, too, under circumstances which made it utterly impossible to come to a correct con clusion on the matter. We remember a previous occasion when the same Bishop held a similar meeting to investigate charges against the management of Miss Sellon's institution, and nothing could bemore unsatisfactory than the termination of that inquiry. Not that it prejudiced Miss Sellon or her cause in the least, but it left the matter in as much obscurity as at first, with the additional disadvantage, that reports got circulated amongst the public, and went the round of the papers, which from their very num ber and vaguity could never be authentically contra dicted; and thus a cause, good, probably, in itself, was injured by unskilful treatment. So, in the pre sent case, a statement has gone forth through all the papers which does not clear up a single difficulty in volved in the inquiry. The Bishop has, indeed, ac quitted Mr. Prynne of all blame, and we are not going to find fault with the Bishop's opinion. But it is very clear that that opinion was derived from sources independent of Mr. Prynne's own reply to the charges, and therefore extremely unsatisfactory t o those who, from the irregul ar manner in which the pro ceedings of the meeting from all chance of forming the sub were conducted, are debarred a fair conclusion on with j ect. We have, therefore much fault to find, first, : the constitution of the meeting, and, th the course of its proceedings. For the first, it is very secondly, clear that Mr. Hatchard, and the clergymen who acted with him, conceived that they had at caughtlas h. t ttrness a High Churchman tripping, and with that . bitterness which they always manifest resolved upon a towards their Bishop whenever they have a chance, they public agitation in Plymouth on the question of auri cular confession, which was enforced, so they said, by Mr. Prynne, under circumstances Romen even Church. more objec tionable than in the practice of the As a preliminary, they f o rward a formal complaint to the Bishop, and w h e n the Bishop proposes a com paratively private investigation, deman Hatchard dingcomplain, that every particular should be published and the meeting be a thoroughly open one. It was the old cry over again, "The public must be satisfied." The absur- [PRICE SD. dity of "satisfying the public" as to the views and teaching of any particular clergyman on confession is transparent to every one but a bigoted Low Churchman. The public, qua public, have no right to trouble themselves about the matter. It is a Churchman's question. But that large section of the public whose feet never cross the portal of our churches, who know little and care less about the Church's principles and teaching, what have they to do with such a complaint as that made to the Bishop? We are quite aware that, in obe dience to the Apostolic injunction, "Against a Pres byter receive not an accusation but before two or three witnesses," the Bishop could not deal with the complaint without the help of his clergy, but surely that is no ground for a meeting constituted like that of which we now speak. It is neither private nor public. It is sufficiently public to stimulate curiosity and make known the charges, while it is so private as to withhold the evidence on which the truth of the complaints depend. Had the Bishop resolutely main tained his right to investigate the charges with the assistance of such clergy as he chose to cal! to his councils, and denied the right of "the public" to be " satisfied" on a question which concerns Churchmen only, we presume that no fault could have been found with his Lordship's determination. But by the meet inghe conceded a he appointed, and especially by inviting reporters, extent, andsupposed then sto ed short at the very point claim of the public to a cer tainwhich alone could the xext "satisfy" that tacitly acknow ledgedas to the proceedings at meeting. The cou rse Bishop could devise. The following was as consonant t oposed to be pursued. by the h with . natural justice as e , 6 Those who make the is the rule laid down charges,: — if they attend, will first state their case, makin g may think fit, and will theisuch "proceedobservations as they to examine their witnesses. After such examination, on be allowed to cross-examine those witne ss es,' Bishop will ask such additional quesbons as he shall think fit. y[ r.p r pl a n n e d will the " Air. Prynne will then state his case, and make any comment on the evidence which he may thi n k fit. If he produces witnesses, he will examine them , and after wards the accusers may cross-examine. " A reply will be allowed to those who make th e charges. " If either the accusers or the accused prefer con ducting the case by any friend, being a clergyman, th e y may do so." Bat it never appears to have occurred to the Bishop that he could not enforce this method. Probably he trusted to the good sense and good feeling of those who were labouring so assiduously to put him in an unhappy position with " the public." If he did, it appears that he trusted to a broken reed. Mr. Hatcher& and his friends had also a plan, and they resolved not to accommodate theirs to that of the Bishop. His Lordship wished to take each Case , singly, and decide it on its merits. Mr. Hatchard and Mr. Childs opposed this, desiring to lump the cases together, and come to a conclusion upon them. jointly. The consequence was, that a de sultory ill-managed inquiry took the place of the reasonable plan proposed by the Bishop. Several per sons were examined, and several certificates put in. At length time wore on—the day closed with nothing substantial effected. Mr. Prynne produced a written defence, which does not appear to have been ever opened. The Bishop then pronounced a judgment acquitting Mr. Prynne of all blame, to the chagrin of his accusers. Now, can anything be more unsatisfac tory than such an inquiry and such a result ? It was saiet—" The confessional is within the Church." This was. disproved, but it was admitted that there was a room used sometimes as a confessional, so that the charge substantially remains. And it has undoubtedly the great disadvantage, that the room used is not public as in Roman Catholic churches. While it is admitted that Mr. Prynne did receive persons so young as twelve years to confession, it yet does not appear that it was either periodically or by compulsion. So that, after all, the simple fact is, that Mr. Prynne received young persons to confession, and that, too, in a cer tain room in the church. The questions then arising are--Ought Mr. Prynne to receive confessions at all ? and next, if that be granted—ls there anything in the circumstances of these confessions to inculpate Mr. Pryine ? As to the first of these, we may accept the Bishop's exposition as satisfactory. There are, un doubtedly, cases in which a clergyman may receive confessions. As to the second, it would have been more satisfactory had the Bishop been equally lumi nous in an exposition of the proper mode and place of receiving them. We should then have had better grounds for believing that Mr. Prynne is free from blame. Either the whole should have been made public, or none at all. At least the outline of Mr. Prynne's defence should have been given. At present it leaves the impression that this is just one more case where principles, really right, are brought into con tempt through the indiscretion of those intrusted with their administration. IRELA.ND. THE MURDER OF ME. RYAN. DUBLIN, MONDAY.—On Thursday last the Sheriff of Tipperary, accompanied by a strong force of police, executed a habere upon three farms on the estate of the late Mr. Ryan. These farms were occupied by parties who are strongly suspected of having been concerned in the assassination of that gentleman. Racket, the holder of one of them, has been fully committed for trial. Two of the farm-houses were at once levelled to the ground, but the third, which is of a more substantial character, was left standing, for the use of a constable. There was a large concourse of persons present, but they did not express any sym pathy with the fate of the murdered landlord, nor the ejected tenants. THE MURDER OF THE SOLDIER AT FERMOY. The coroner's jury at Fermoy has returned a ver dict of wilful murder against some persons unknown. According to the evidence it does not appear that the fight which arose between the two soldiers and the country people bad any connexion whatever with the memory of the Six-mile -bridge affair. It was the result of a drunken quarrel, which arose in a petty public-house. STATE OF LEITRIM. -THE ELECTIONS. The Sligo Journal states that the county of Lei trim is relapsing into a state of sad disorder. On Tuesday night, in a district extending over twelve miles in length, all the haycocks were tossed about in the most wanton manner, and a great many of them set on fire. The same night the pound•keeper's house, near Manorhamilton, was broken into and hi s fire-arms carried off. The centre of the mischief is the land called Glenfarn, and the sufferers the re spectable farmers who voted for Mr. Montgom ery. The magistrates will, we trust, meet at once, a n d have the district proclaimed. This i s exactly the class of outrages which a proclamation can put down. quiteEhl IGR a AT r I a O g N e TO for A e U ra S i T g ß r A ti L ti l o A T; to Australia There is amongst the more affluent classes.

The crops are now completely saved. All the accounts from the country agree in representing the produce as above the ordinary average. The potatoes are bolding pretty well in many parts ; but, generally speaking, the crop is regarded as a failure. The Tipperary Guardian says : " Never, within the memory of man, has the weather been more favourable for harvest operations than during the present season. For the last month we have been visited nightly by a sharp frost, followed in the day by bright sunshine. Wheat, in almost every instance, i s safe in the stack-yard; bat oats, a greater extent of which have been sown this year than on former occasions, are rather late. The reports respecting the potato ar conflicting; but we trust, as we heretofore said , th a t w o e t - thirds will be safe." The Limerick Chronicle says : " The weather continues most satisfactory for complet ing the harvest. We are gratified to reit erate our fa vourable reports of wheat, barley, and oats ; the bean crop is also superior, and less complaint b - a out appear ance of disease in potatoes."

To persons, therefore, of limited incomes, or whose incomes are dependent on contingent circumstances, and who, from fear of being unable at some future time to continue their annual premiums, have hitherto neglected to avail themselves of the benefits of Life Assur ance, the advantages of this iastitution over any other is too obvious to require comment, Every description of ordinary Life Assurance business transacted. Policies from 101. to 5,0001., on every known principle of Life As surance. Policies not void on account of suicide. " Diseased" lives, and lives " declined" by other offices, accepted.

The Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway will be the great connect ing link between the lines of France, Belgium, and Germany at one end, and of Holland at the other, and will form a direct intercom munication with the railways of Central and Southern Europe for the inhabitants of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the llague. It is proposed to effect this national benefit by means of a railway from the Government station at Antwerp to the Meuse at Roßsart, a length of about thirty-five miles, in connexion with a steam-boat service from thence to Rotterdam, a distance of about sixteen miles, until a railway—for which surveys are in progress—is decided upon. In the interval, the steam-boat service is wholly in an inland or river navigation, passengers and goods will be transferred at a railway wharf is deep water, at Rodevart, so that the journey between Ant werp and Rotterdam will be easily and comfortably accomplished in about three hours, instead of occupying teu hours as at present—the fares bein: less than half the present cost. The district to be traversed by this line comprises the best of the Polders of Belgium and Holland, which are of a remarkable richness and fertility. Its dense population enjoys a high condition of wealth and comfort. Whilst the numbers per square mile in Belgium, Eng land, and France, are respectively—Belgium, 382; Great Britain, 231: France, 170 ; the census of the inhabitants located on the three hundred and sixty square miles adjacent to this line gives a total of 291,730 persons, or about 840 per square mile—more than double the general average of Iltd gium. The branch to Breda, in length about fourteen miles, will secure the traffic from Bois-le-Due, Tilbourg, and a large range of fertile country, from which the old and main roads converge towards and unite at Rreda. rids line has long been considered one of the most important and profitable sections of the Dutch and Belgian systems of railway, and has been the object of protracted negotiations between the two Go vernments. The concession for the portion of the line in Holland, wh , ch is about three-fourths of the whole, was signed by the King of Holland on the 21st July last. For the five leagues of the line in the Kingdom of Belgum, a convention has been signed by the Minister of Public Works, which only awaits the meeting of the Legislative Chambers to receive a formal ratification. A convention between the two kingdoms, to establish this line of communication, has re ceived the Royal assent in both countries, and was formally ex changed on the 4th of last month (see the " Moniteur Beige" of the 14th August, 1852.) The Concession is for ninety years, and the tariff for passengers and goods is similar to that of the Belgian State Railways. This Company is based upon a contract already concluded with a responsib'e contractor, Mr. George Wythes, of Reigate, by which he undertakes to purchase the land, and construct the bridges, works of art and stations for a double line ; and to execute the earthworks for, and lay down and complete, a single line of rails ; as well as to pros ide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops. Provision is also made for the payment, by the contractor, of all preliminary and incidental expenses, including the cost of the concession, and also of interest, half-yearly, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, upon the capital called up, until the opening of the line, which is expected to take place in less than two years from the date of the concession. The whole outlay of rapt' at will thus be covered by the contract price of 500,0001., or about 10,0001. per mile, for which fixed suns the shareholders will become possessed of a line of railway with most favourable gradients and curves, complete and ready for opening. As regards the prospects of traffic, it may be observed that the average gross receipts of the Belgian state railways for the year 1850, as published in the Government statistieal returns, amounted to 1,7101. per mile, which in this case, would give a profit of up wards of 10 per cent. on the guaranteed cost of 10,000/. per mile. It is apparent, however, that the receipts on this line may be ex pected to exceed the average of the 360 miles of Belgian State rail ways. First, because the local population in the district traversed is more than twice as dense as the general average of Belgium, and in a canditlon of greater prosperity. Second, because the line forms a direct prolongation of the railway from Brussels to Antwerp, which is probably the most productive section of railway in Europe—pro ducing an average receipt of about 6,0001 . per mile per annum. I Third, because this line, from its position, must command the greater part of the through tr iflic between 'Tolland, Belgium, France, and the South of Europe—the extent of which may be judged of from the fact that the value of the merchandise transported to and fro be tween Belgium and "Tolland amounted in the year 1850 to a value of 4,429,9891., which was in great part received at, and sent from, Antwerp. These statements are based upon the annual publication of the details of foreign commerce, made by the Belgian Minister of Finance. Under the form of a " Societe Anonyme," the Shareholder's liability is limited to his "holding." The capital will be represented by 50,000 shares of 101. each, of which 20,000 shares are already taken in 'Tolland, Belgium, and France. By the terms of the statutes of the " Societe," the certificates of the shares will be issued " to bearer." Applications for prospectuses and Shares may be made to Messrs. Hutchinson and Sons, 39, Lothbury, and to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad-street, and any further information may be obtained at the Company's Offices, No. 16, Cannon-street, City, No. 16, Cannon-street, London, Sept. 24, 1852. C- THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Hammersmith, on former occasions the battle ground on which the Conservatives took their princi pal stand i n th e rev i s i on o f th e Ihits of voters, for the county o f Mi ddlesex, and hoped to strike off the largest number of inimical voters, was yesterday once more the arena for the decision of the next political contest for the county. The Anion Hall, where the Revising Barrister, Launcelot Shad well, E,ci held his court, was crowded by parties claiming in right of quaUcations in the parishes of Chiswick, Fulham, Hammersmith, Kensington, and Chelsea. Mr. Thomas Alley Jones and Mr. B. Maclure appeared for the Conservatives, and were accompanied by Mr. Maclure, the surveyor, in the interest of that party. Mr. W. H. James attended for the Liberals. SWEAR NOT AT ALL.—Mr. James Ingram Locl hart, of Fulham, understood t o h e a literary man, appeared to support the claim of his brother to be placed on the register. The question having been raised by the Conservatives as to the nature of the qualification of the absent brother, Mr. Lockhart inquired of the Barrister whether, if he objected to take an oath, he (the Barrister) bad power to compel him ? BARRISTER—What is your objection to swear ? Mr. Lockhart—l don't choose to do so. Suppose I am a member of the Society of Fiiends, would you compel me to swear? BARRISTER—No. Are you " a Friend ?" Mr. Lockhart—No ; but Cnrist says " Swear not at all; and acting on that advice, I'll not take an oath Mr. Jones has here objected unnecessarily, and I must say he makes himself very obnoxious in this parish. M:. Jones—Will you swear to your brother's qualification ? Mr. Lockhart—l tell you I'll not swear at all.—(Laughter.) BARRISTER—W hat dewonination of Christians are you of, Mr. Lockhart ? Mr. Lockhart—l belong to a body of Christians who object to swearing, and I will not be sworn ; as a good Christian, following out Christ's maxims, I object to swear. Mr. James here read an extract from the Abolition of unnecessary Os'hs Act, which lays down, that in the case of Quakers, evidence might be taken on "af firmation ;" but he was not aware that it applied to any other sect. REVISING BARRISTER—I am aware that Quakers are allowed to give their evidence OD affirmation, and I believe that that form is also extended to Moravians ; but I cannot understand why Mr. Lockhart objects to be sworn. Mr. Lockhart—l am not singular in this opinion. There are several members of the House of Lords who hold the same opinion. BARRISTER—House of Lords ! That mRy be ; but You cannot convince me that you have any warrant in tcBhacolrireiipdtytuurpienonfo ther to makeyo your oath. objection; on the contrary, we have p roo f s o f i ns t ances w here persons have been Mr. L oc k hart—You may fi n d suc h instances in the Old Testament • but I defy you to find any such New,au- I; Mr. Jones —tit my rule o f faith. and as lam a Christian, that is Bailey. you w o uld be sworn at the Old Mr. James—But we are n o t et at the Old Bailey , thank God.—(Hear, beta., from a y I ot of overseers, and e laughter ß A i u n it t i h s e r E b n_ od Then as S ou are not prepared to swear to your brother's qualification, I cannot hear l ny parole evidence. The name must be expunged. Name expunged accordingly. MR. GOODHUGH AND HIS UMBRELLA. ---In the new claim list the name of Mr. George Ball was objected to by Mr. Goodhugh, the Conservative objector. A Voice—Who is this Mr. Goodhugh ? Is he the man who is said to make his appearance with an " umbrella," and then to fade away at the vanishing point, as in a parachute ? Mr. James could not say; he had never seen him. Why did he not come into court ? He (Mr. James) thought if this notorious objector, whom he believed no man ever saw, should not now come forward to prove the notices, that Mr. Jones ought to be called upon to prove that he had the authority of that person to object, or else to prove the hand-writing to the notices. A long controversy ensued, as to the existence or non-existence of Mr. Goodhugh and his " umbrella," but without anything being proven as to the fact one way or the other, and the Revising Barrister, after hearing the arguments, declared Mr. Ball not entitled to be placed on the register, the qualifica tion out of which he claimed not being sufficient in law to give him the elective franchise. Mr. James protested against the proceeding, and was of opinion that the Revisingßarrister ought to exercise his authority, and compel Goodhugh to come into court. The Barrister sat from ten up to half-past seven o'clock, and got through much business ; but, unable to complete the revision of all the parishes in the polling district, he adjourned his court to Kensing ton, at the Vestry-hall of which, on Friday next, the revision of that parish will be proceeded with. CONFLICT BETWEEN A BURGLAR AND A POLICEMAN AT HIGHGATE. One of the most desperate single-banded midnight encounters which has been known for many years, of a similar nature, occurred late on Saturday night last, between a police constable of the S division, at Highgate, and a professional housebreaker, which had well nigh ended in murder or homicide, and may yet terminate in the death of the burglar. The fol lowing particulars were collected at the Universiby College Hospital, where he is now lying, and it is to be regretted that the constable's name was not left there, as his conduct reflects the highest credit upon him. It appears that about half-past ten o'clock the con stable (233 S) was proceeding quietly along the road, near Highgate, having been only a short time on his beat, when he saw a tall, powerful-looking man approaching him, carrying a bundle, and trying to avoid him, as if in haste. This excited the constable's suspicions, who stopped him and required to know what he had, at the same time discovering a gun under his arm ; the answer given not being satisfac tory, the officer desired him to proceed to the police station, which the other demurred to, with impreca tions, and endeavoured to pass on • but t h e officer seized the property an d the man, the latter in turn laying hold of th e po li ceman, and swearing that if not permitted to go u nmo l ested the constable ' s d ays wer e numbered.

It was found to proved, ttsince been ascertained that the articles were na ily the produce of a robbery which had been com mitted at a gentleman's house in the neighbourhood assistance that very evening. On looking to both the policeman and the robber, it was discovered that they were con siderably beaten, the former having suffered exten sively about the eyes by the brutal attempt at gouging. He has been placed under the care of th e divisional surgeon, whilst his antagonist was imme diately conveyed, in the custody of two constables, to University College Hospital, one of whom remained with him ; and he will be removed, if practicable, to the infirmary of the House of Detention, Clerken well, until they can both appear before the magis trate. He has given his name as il C. J o hnson, is about 40 years of age, and says he came from Man chester._ a few days ago. It is thought by the pol ice that he is one of the gang rece n tly known as the " Northern Banditti, " consisting of sev en armed desperadoes, three of w h om were apprehended last week, one each in th e t owns of Bradfor d.

The excess in the Post-office packet service has arisen from payments for the mail service to the Cape of Good Hope, and from Ber muda to St. Thomas, not provided for in the original esti mate. The principal savings occur under the bead of wages to seamen and marines (75,0301.), victuals (150,323), wages to artificers (36,9811.), naval stores (154,2261.), new works (35,4007.), miscellaneous services (11,1301.), military pen sions (15,2247.), civil pensions (12,3151.)
