B U ENOS AYRES ENGLISH DEBT. Resolutions passed at the PUBLIC MEETING of the Buenos Ayres Bondholders, held at the London Tavern, on the 23d of JUNE, 1852, DAVID ROBERTSON, Esq., in the chair. 1. That this Sleeting, though aware of the intentions of the late Government of the Argentine Republic to arran,re their English deb , and to renew its dividends, so soon as the treaty of peace with France was ratified, and peace generally restored to La elate. feels called upon to express its deep mortification and disap2ointment that the reasonable and just expectations of the bondholders were not fulfilled, and that this, the most sacred of all obligations of the Republic, was not provided for in 1851 ; more especially, when it is well known that the revenue of Buenos Ayres, which has been an annually in creasing one, has for some years past, been not less than 5,000,000 of hard dollars per annum, or 1,000,0001. sterling per annum, and that, accordir.g to their own official documents, the excess of income over expenditure amounted to upwards of 100,0001. per annum, which excess at the close of the financial year of 1850 then amounted, and had actually accumulated in the Treasury, to the sum of up wards of 500,0001. sterling, unappropriated, and at the disposal of he Government. 2. That this Meeting has heard with much satisfaction that one of the very first acts of the new Provisional Government has been to convey through her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Bnenos Ayres, Captain the Hon. Robert Gore, to Earl Granville, which has been communicated to the Chairman by Earl Malmesbury, this distinct and gratifying pledge, in the language of the dispatch :—" That the Minister of Finance will be instructed, so soon as he has arranged his financial statement, to give the British debt his first considera tion, in order, if possible, to arrive at some result that might be sails factory to all parties concerned." 3. That this Meeting begs to express its firmest confidence and fullest reliance that ene of the first acts of the new Govern ment will be to redeem this pledge, and confer this act of simple justice upon England "and Englishmen. who have long reposed confidence in the good faits and honour of Buenos Ayres, and now look upon the new Government as their sure guarantee for Its redemption. And more, that the time has come, in a national point of view, for her own sake, and the oppor tunity is now offered to that new Power to place the Argentine Re public on the same high ground of restoration and inviolate main tenance of the great principle of national faith and credit which is now occupied by her neighbours, Brazil, Chili, and Peru; and when also the Argentineßepublic is destined to take her place amongst the . . . great nations of America and Europe, who have ever found the pre servation of their national faith the keystone of the arch on which an alone securely and permanently be founded the prosperity of any nation. 4. That a memorial, embodying these sentiments, be addresset the new Government of the Argentine Republic, signed by the te bond holders, or by their chairman on their behalf, and that the sam eand handed to MeSsrs. Baring Brothers and Co., for transmissio n delivery to that Government, through the channel whic h they may consider to be the most desirable and the best ; and also to beg that b manner as house to claim at the hands of that Government, in a s s u e c of Pat agonia e fortreceffectu ally .e they may see fit, a renewal of the proposal of a le and its products, especially guano, as a cohahllerslreeiegal.:ll39 done umr aly Government, special n ot bondholders. to extinguish the debt, &c., ally in the case of Peru, and which propos " al to Messrs. Barings, on behalf of the bendhol c doubt such wi.l now be held as sacred by t i h ts e correspondence of the Chairman, the hand and be renewed accordingly. st an a n d e . e .e , s a p n e d ciall un y w lv earyi hen 'nf fin ze da l 5. That this meeting, having seen from Committee, and also having learned some and friendly conduct, valuablehaisfi, of Viscount Palmerston in their De naparensierensttedthiSbyl4tihdeshkriishing the justice of the case so . con sented to transmit, and dire President, the s e t t r k to i g l b y e Minister at Buenos Ayres, to the letter read this day, begs the acceptance by Lor d Palmerston of th eir warmest and sincerest thanks, and directs the same to be conveyed to his Lord ship by its Chairman. also much gratification In begging Earl 6. That this meetino has Granville to accept their , warmest and sin cerest thanks for the con tinuance of the same valuable and fri en dl y aid as was given by Lord P a l mer ston, and especially for his great consideration and kindness in sending, with in a tew days of his coming into office, an important dispatch to Captain Gore on their behalf, the first valuable fruits of w hich are mentio ne in the S ewed resolution of this meeting ; and that this vote of thanks be also conveyed to Earl Granville by their Chairman. 7. That a Deputation of the Bondholders and of others interested in d ie prosperity of Buenos Ayres and its commerce with England, headed by Thomas Baring, Esq., if he thinks proper and will do them the favour to do so, do wait on the Earl of Malrees bury, and beg the continuance of his good offices, in any manner of way his Lordship may think most proper, and the most likely to attain the end they have in view, and to accomplish a purpose so Important to England a s '' country, and to many Eng li shmen as individuals, as the resto rationheld;and ofs ?la'lle a sum of money, so justly due, and so long with , also to beg th e ass i s t ance o f th e British Government, and their countenance and support, and that of their Minister at Buenos _kyres, in such course and arrangements as may seem best calcu lated, at the earliest period, to make available to the commerce and agriculture of England, and to the liquidation of the British debt, the large fields of guano that are known to exist in the territories of the Argentine Republic, and especially of Patagonia. 8 . -That this Meeting begs to express its cordial and sincere thanks to Captain the Hon. Robert Gore, her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Buenos Ayres, for the mrapt and able manner in which he has begun to carry out the instructions of Viscount Pal tnerston and Earl Granville, alike creditable to a British Minister and of inestimable value to his countrymen ; and trusts that he may cantinue at Buenos Ayres to see and to contribute to this matter being brought to a favouaable termination, at an early day, under his auspices and under the instructions of Earl Malmesbury, from whom their Chairman has received the assurance " that Lord Mal mesbury hid confirmed the instructions of his predecessors, Lord Palmerston and Lord Granville, to the Hon. Captain Gore, at Buenos Ayres, in regard to their affairs," and that the above reso lution be communicated to Captain Gore by their Chairman. 9. That this Meeting, having the greatest esteem and confidence in the highly respectable house of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., the contractors f, .r this loan, and its agents throughout, as well as the agents for the late and the present Government of Buenos Ayres, begs to express again their confidence in that house, and their approval of the act of their committee in leaving the negotia tion of this matter at Buenos Ayres, In actor lance with the resolu tions adopted at their last public meeting in May, 1451, in the hands of the Messrs. Baring ; and to express a confident hope that the Messrs. Baring will be enabled, at an early day, to arrange this important matter, and to acquaint the Bondholders of the same, a result which this Meeting is saasfied will be as gratifying to Messrs Baring, Brothers, and Co., as it will be satisfactory to the Bond holders. In addition to the foregoing resolutions, the following one was pro posed by Mr. G,wer and seconded by Sir George Sartorius : That this Meeting is of opinion that, from official returns made by order of the House of Commons, the guano found on the coast and Wall Is of Patagonia (a portion of the territories of Buenos Ayres), from its quality and great abundance, will be found a useful and im portant source of revenue, applicable (as in the case of a sister re public, Peru) to the payment and liquidation of the Buenos Ayres' English debt. They narticularlc request the Messrs. Baring and the Committee to direct their e &fly and earnest attention to this, at this moment, universally admitted most important question. The abyve resolutions were all unanimously adopted. (Signed) DAVID RoBEUTSON, Chairman. _ .

Yesterday the Metropolitan Burials Bill passed brough Committee in the House of Commons, and :o-day will come on for the third time. Although he measure is by no means adequate for the removal of the enormous evils resulting from intramural in terment, it appears to us so manifestly preferable to its predecessor, that we have remarked, with no trivial satisfaction, its progress through the Legisla ture. If satisfactory in nothing else, it cannot fail to be so in reviving the knowledge of the necessity for reform in this particular direction to the public remembrance. It constitutes a wholesome reminder of the difficulties requiring dissipation. It recalls, moreover, to the consideration of the general com munity the little already accomplished in regard to the closing of the City graveyards and the opening of suburban cemeteries. As a testimony that the Bill introduced by Lord JOHN MANNERS on the 20th of May, 1852, has already acted thus beneficially in arousing the desired enterprise of the population, a prospectus can now be referred to with some plea sure, as having within the last few days been issued by the Great Extramural Ce naetery Association. It has reference to Harlesden-green, Middlesex, and would thus, if carried into operation, become a for milable rival to the Surrey project, so frequently mentioned in these columns under the authority of a company entitled the London Necro polis and National Mausoleum. Although we still conceive that the proposed site at Woking would be, perhaps, of all the very best that could be selected, we are still rejoiced to observe in the scheme relating to Harlesden.green the promise of a very consider able, and we cannot but think also a very desirable, competition. Opposed as we are by principle to monopoly of all kinds, we are more particularly so to anything like monopoly having reference to the burial of our fellow -creatures. It is indeed, among other things, with a view to break up the terrible and disgusting system cherished by the present ghoul like grave monopolists of the metropolis, that we en deavour so very strenuously, upon every available opportunity, to advocate the interference in this matter of her MAJESTY'S Government. The sanitary objections to intramural interment forms, of course, the basis of our argument for extramural sepulture ; added to this, there are in this matter considerations affecting public morality, which we would fain see recognised by the sagacity of the Imperial Legisla ture. But associated with these, there is a soli citude in our minds to see destroyed, at length, those abominable regulations by which certain parties within the boundaries of London and Westminster retain a pecuniary interest in the corpses of the inhabitants of the capital—flourishing themselves in proportion to the amount of the an nual mortality. That mortality has been generally estimated at some 60,000 in number, out of which the cemeteries already in existence give room for a little more than 12,000 annual interments. So tha 48,000 dead bodies are each year added to the mass corruption already crowding the intra mural graveyards. Against the continuance of these horrid abominations we would therefore see every energetic effort made both within and with out the walls of Parliament. Within those walls there has recently been carried through various stages the Bill introduced by Lord JOHN - MANNERS. With out those walls there are, on the other hand, those enterprises at Woking-common and at Harlesden green, the one in Surrey, the other in Middlesex, which, if carried out with a spirit proportioned to that manifested in their commencement, Would afford the inhabita n t s o f th e Bri tish metropolis for the first time the requi site ground for their annual sepulture. Every adoiC should be d one by th e pu bli c at l arge to ance the interests of companies like these, built up 011 iteeure f oundat i ons, and tending to the reali za ti on o f so n autili c'ng-despair e d- o f a d van t ages . A t l east the benev n l ene e which both schemes have originated should command .for them the serious attention and m anifestation of the community. Sup the careful 1 : 1 tod n i ifestation of this timely enterprise, inside the House of Commons, the ably look forward ab p do o vt r bo t c e o d aut b ets y sid t o ll ef e sanitary improvement may now reason of the beginning of a new epoch in c t o h n e dit il io i tetvqoieitmultitude. theßseosicdiaels perceived that other ito Burials Bill, it will be well-being of the measures affecting the physical inhabitants of the metropolis have b een submitted in the cou rse of the present session to the judgment of the Legislature. Insomuch that there is at last some probability that increased drain age and a better su pp l y of water may be inscribed before long u p on the li s t of realized improvements. Forinasnauch as h, has 4 watched ov er these changes in the e xistin g system with some degree of Ministerial anxie t y , the Chief Commis sioner of Woods and Forests has des erved well of his fellow-countrymen, and has in a great measure justified the circumstance of his selection for the con duct of that responsible office by the Noble Earl at the head of her MAJESTY'S Government. There is a reasonable hope that early in the next session of Parliament some one or more m e , sures of Church reform will be introduced, so far at least as the administration and distribution of its re. vellu6JB are concerned. Public attention bas been for some time forcibly directed to the subject, and there is a strong and almost universal feeling that speedy legislation is required. The Secretary of State for the Home Department, during the discussion on the Episcopal and Capitular Revenues Bill, distinctly and unequivocally stated " that the Government were willing to undertake the consideration of the subject with reference to capitular bodies - and cathedral insti tutions, so as to make them time extensive and more practically useful than at present." The Marquis of BLANDFORD withdrew the measure which he had in troduced on that understanding, and at the sugges tion of the Right Hon. Gentleman. There is, there fore, a positive pledge that the Government will bring forward a Bill of some description, and every member of the Church of England, and every per son friendly to the continuance of a national establishment, ought to endeavour to point out the most crying grievances, and the nature of the remedies that should be adopted. It is, we believe, generally admitted that the Church property, if properly and judiciously managed, as private persons of ordinary prudence are accustomed to regulate their own estates, might be rendered far more productive than at present. Ample funds then might be obtained for Church purposes, without any undue interference with existing interests, or re ducing the incomes enjoyed by parties now in possession. There may, and we should hope will be, a new distribution, so that as vacancies arise large benefices may be divided, and sine cures abolished. There will, unquestionably, be difficulties and impediments to be encountered. Lay patrons will naturally object to a division of the livings at their disposal. Whether the object be to provide for a friend or relative, or to sell the next presentation to the best bidder, one large, will be far more valuable, in a pecuniary point of view, than two or three comparatively smaller benefices. But the reverse is the case so far as the public are concerned. The good of the Church is diametrically opposed to the pecuniary interests of the lay patrons. There is, of course, a great objection to interfere in any way with what maybe termed the rights of property. But in such cases we should hope that a majority of those inte rested would not insist too stringently on their rights, but would rather sacrifice a portion of their privileges for the benefit of the Church, for which, after all, they can only be regarded as trustees. But were it even otherwise, and that a strong resistance were offered by a large proportion of the number, the ad vantage of the community generally must be re garded as the predominating principle, the great ob ject to be attained, rather than that an advowson or next presentation, matters which ought never to be sold, should bring a few pounds more or less by public auction. We deal with private property in many instances for matters of public utility, and where could there be a subject more fully justifying legislative interference than that above referred to, viz., the most prudent and judicious application of Church property to Church purposes ? There are, we are aware, many conscientious per sons who entertain the opinion that, what may, for the purpose of an argument, be termed the surplus re venues of the Church, should be applied to the in crease of the episcopacy. We would, however, strongly urge the claims of the hard-working and inadequately remunerated clergy to these funds. We believe that the general feeling among the most zealous members of the Established Church is, that there is no necessity for any addition to the bench of bishops, and certainly recent revelations as to the manner in which different pre lates had received, and appropriated to their own use, sums far exceeding the incomes which Parliament considered fitting remuneration for their services, has not increased the desire for additional bishops. It must also be borne in mind; that the services of twenty working clergymen, at 2501. per annum each —as little, in all conscience, as could possibly be given to a man of education and refinement, expected to maintain the position of gentlemen, and to contribute to the local charities, and to relieve the wants of the poorer members of their congregation—could be ob tained for the income assigned to a single prelate. But even greatly es the addition of such men to the working staff is to be desired, we think it even of greater importance that the stipends of the badly-paid incumbents should be raised to a degree suitable to their stations, and the important functions they are expected to discharge. On this point we would earnestly invite attention to a petition presented by Mr. HODGSON on the 9th instant, previous to the discussion on the Marquis of BLANDFORD'S Bill. This petition emanated from two clergymen, the incumbents of the contiguous parishes of Kirklinton and Stapleton, in the county of Cumberland and the diocese of Carlisle, who detailed in simple and forcible language their own cases,and there is no doubt that many similar instances might be adduced of gentlemen of high learning and unim peachable character, who, after having gone to all the expenses of a collegiate education, have spent their days on most inadequate incomes, although their labours have been of the most onerous character, and their entire time has been devoted to the duties of their sacred calling. For instance the petitioners, in speaking of their own benefices, say— " That the two said parishes consist of an entirely agricultural population, so very much scattered that there is scarcely anything in the shape of a village in either of them—s fact the more especially to be noticed, since clerical labour and superintendence are hereby so vastly increased a fact, too the more easily and practically to be understood when it is considered that the - parish of Kirklinton alone contains an area of at least 27 square miles, being 11 miles by 21, the church being pretty nearly in the centre, longitudinally, whil s t b y the roads it is more than 14 miles in a direct line, and with a population of 1,869 persons; and the parish of Stapleton contains an area of 17 square miles, being 41 miles by 4, with a population of 1,119 persona." So much for the position of the parishes, which will, we think, be considered as affording abundant occupation for persons desirous of conscientiously and efficiently discharging the functions of their office in accordance with the solemn obligations taken at the time of ordination. Now, as to the position and re muneration of the petitioners. They state that they, " Both married men, with families, have now been ministers of the Established Church—the one twenty five years, and the other thirty-one years—and thus have spent the best of their days and their strength in her service; and yet they have neither received at any time from her ample funds as much as 1001. per annum." What, not 1001. a year for a person having to at tend to a parish containing 27 square miles-11 long and 21 wide, with a population of 1,869 persons ? How, without other resources, could he maintain a wife and educate his children in credit and respecta bility ? How assist his humble parishioners in the various exigencies iu which they are accustomed to look for aid and comfort to their friend and pastor? It is really too bad that in the face of such a state of affairs there should be any discussion as to the appropria tion of the " surplus revenues of the Church." The matter, however, is so clearly and forcibly, although simply put, that we must again borrow from the petition. They add, and we think the lustice of their complaint will be universally acknow , [edged— " That your petitioners feel this a very hard case, since the income for which they professionally labour is not only insufficient for the bare maintenance of a clergyman, but that it greatly im pedes their ministerial usefulness, and deprives the poor of their parishes of much of that pe cuniary and needful assistance which they might otherwise receive at their hands; that a feeling of de gra lation to the ministerial office is forced upon them from the fact that they are unable to maintain that posi tion in society which their calling seems to lay claim to, being positively worse remunerated for their services than the ordinary agents employed in the other learned professions, in trade, in commerce, or in manufacture; and that it is an anomaly not allowed to exist amongst them; whilst, on the other hand, our venera bl e an d ex ... cellent establishment is supposed to bestow upon all her spiritual labourers an earthly competence whereby they may live in comfort, and serve her faithfully and without secular distraction or pursuit, according to the divine rule that the spiritual workman is worthy of his hire,' and that 'they who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.'" Petitioners also bear their willing testimony to the condition of many of their ill-paid brethren, showing that their own cases are by no means exceptional ones. They say— " That your petitioners do not wish it to be thought that they are the only persons thus painfully suffering from inadequate incomes in this diocese, or in the Church generally, for they are aware that there is a numerous, a respectable, and a hard-working body of their clerical brethren similarly and unfortunately circumstanced, to whom, if an act of justice and benevolence similar to that for which they themselves here humbly pray were extended by your Honourable House, your petitioners Would sincerely rejoice." Raving given so much of the petition, we once spin heartily commend to the consideration of Ministers and of candidates for sena'orial honours, but still more earnestly to that of the electors of every con stituency throughout the length and breadth of the land, the prayer of the petition:— " That your petitioners resp-ctfully and humbly be g, ech your Honourable Hous e t o t a k e th e i r c ondition i adopt such measures for th e i r pecun i ary re li ef an d sup port nto your as i n serious yonr dehberate consideration,wisdom and to be pleased to deem the most advisable." and kindness you may It is one that should receive due attention at all times, but more especially so when, discussing the distribution and management of Church property, and the proper application of any additional funds that may be received for Church purposes. It will form the best argument to those who are suggesting an increase to the episcopacy. Contrast the case of the Right Reverend Prelate who within less than after his appointment re ceived 79,01 the income assigned to his see, with that of th e h um bl e c l e r g yma n fourteen oo. years n than who,irheyears of clerical labour, finds h a wife and family.

Heartily can we commend the artist who h as so v i v idl y ca ll e d b e f ore us a scene which few who have witnessed it would forget. He ° r t n h s e has omitted nothing that could add to the verisimili tude of the picture. In the foreground is the sea, sprinkled over with boats (among which, of course, is the one from which we survey the scene). A steamer is about to land its passengers at the Chain Pier. The bathing machines are on the verge of the water, and crowds of visitors are promenading the " Pa rades" or lounging on the beach. No thing could be more exact as a reference than this " Panoramic View of Brighton." It mea sures about a yard and a half in length, and is not only very accurately designed, but is also most bril liantly coloured. The sight of it, on a sunshiny day like this, is enough to tempt one to turn from the noise and dust of London, and take a ticket for the next " down" train. Great praise is due to Mr. Grant, the news -agent of Castle-equare, for the very oppor tune publication of this very charming panorama. tirti Mbition NEWCASTLE RACES (THIS DAY.)

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export and 2,000 on speculation. The market closed firmly. The sales comprised 6 500 American, 250 Porn= and Maranham at qd. to 61d., 300 Egyptian at 60. to 71d., and 800 Surat at 31d. to 4id. per lb. — Railway Shares were flat, at lower prices. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is stated at 40s. 9d. per quarter. The arrivals from the Continent bring rather more satisfactory accounts respecting the Stook markets. At Amsterdam, on the 22d instant, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were not higher than 63* to 3.16; but all Foreign Securities were in demand, and generally at advanced rates, The Paris Bourse also did not suffer from the rumoured differences between the President and the Legislature. There are further ships dropping in from Australia, but they do not bring later dates. Even the Van Die men's Land vessels, however, have specie on board. The Windermere brings 20,0001. From a return just completed, we find that in 1851, the aggregate import into the United Kingdom of unre fined sugar, the produce of British possessions, was 5,636,230 cwts., refined sugar and sugar candy 31,490 cwts., making a total of 5,667,720 cwts.; which amount, as compared with the previous year, shows an increase of 714,032 cwts.

N w o er r e A o C p il e aLi ned ) th a is Sir A. E. COCKBURN addressed the jury in reply to the evidence adduced on the part of the plaintiff He said, in this most painful case, he could scarcely expect that religious prejudices would altogether bedivestedfrom the minds of the jury. Independent of the question, as to the falsehood or truth of the serious charge made against Dr. Achilli, there came another circumstance fcfr consi deration, vz., that gross, foul, and deliberate perjury must have been committed on one side or the other. The case admitted of no compromise whatever. It was impossible that a young girl robbed of her virtue could even, after the greatest lapse of time, forget the man who had wronged her; but it was not at all unlikely that a man might, in his general intercourse with women, forget the object of his practices in a particular instance. Either the women who had been called had spoken the truth or had wickedly invented and trumped up a cunning story. On which side. the truth laid it would be for the jury to determine; and he was ready to admit that if Dr. Achilli was to be lieved the witnesses brought forward in support of the accusations made by Dr. Newman had grossly perjured themselves. It, therefore, became necessary to ascer tain which story was entitled to credibility. The young woman Valenti swore positively that Achilli robbed her of her virtue near Viterbo. She was no subtle casuist, but tells a plain unvarnished story—that she was a ser vant in a country-house where Dr. Achilli was staying, and that, after repeated unsuccessful attempts, he sue ceeded in accomplishing his object; yet, though she had since married, and Dr. Achilli had had ample opportu nity of inquiring into her subsequent career and con duct, he had not even suggested one word against her character, which must, therefore, be taken as entirel7 blameless and unimpeachable. It might be said that this witness was under the influence of her priest—that she was told it would be for the glory of God and the Church to come forward and give evidence, and that the whole case bad been got up by the priests, in order to put down Dr. Achilli. This was the way in which the evidence against Dr. Achilli, both personal and documentary, was to be met. They would, perhaps, be told that it was a rale of the Jesuits, that where the advancement of the Roman' Catholic religion was con cerned, the sacredness of the and justified the wicked ness of the means; that so great was Italian perfidy, that these Italian witnesses ought not to be believed. But on whose oath were they to be convicted of falsehood? Was Dr. Achilli not an Italian; was he not educated by the Jesuits, and initiated in all the corruptions and artifices which were ascribed to that well-known come munity ; was he not a subtle disputant and an ingenious casuist, brought up among monks, priests, and friars? Though he was far from saying that one might judge a man's heart by his physiognomy and appearance, yet, if Dr. Achilli had come into the box wi t h a monks cowl, instead of wearing the simple garb of a Pro testant, it would, probably, have struck them that the man and the habit were not altogether unsuited to each other. He, therefore, claimed for these simple peasants just as much credit as would be given to an Italian priest like Dr. Achilli. Another test for judging the value of the evidence adduced by either party, was the interest which the witnesses bad in coming into the box. Could the young women who had been debauched have an interest in proclaiming their dishonour before the public? It might be alleged they had been suborned, but, however, the jury might differ in opinion with Dr. Newman, nothing had been shown to affect his honour or morality. Looking at the interest on the opposite side, it was apparent that every thing Dr. Achilli had in the world, was at stake, and no doubt an appeal to their sympathies would be made by his Learned Friend on that ground. Whether he had been dismissed from the Roman Catholic Church or had quitted it of his own free will, it was clear he had shut out all hope of emolument or advancement in that quarter. In this country he was now a Protestant clergyman belonging to a body whose object was to ob tain proselytes from Roman Catholicism, and who had looked upon him as a great shining light in the Protestant Church that might be the means of obtaining many conversions. To his utility in that respect his moral character was absolutely essential. If that character was injured, there was an end of Dr. Achilli in this country, and of all those plea sant prospects which no doubt stood before him. The result of the trial was to him. therefore, of the most vital and deepest importance. The other witnesses had no interest when compared with Dr. Achilli; and the jury could not, without the most serious consideratior, come to the conclusion that in swearing to the acts com mitted by him they were perjured, and disentitled to credit. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the case of Principe, who, it will be recollected, swore to being deflowered by Dr. Achilli in the sacristy of the church, and contended that every circumstance connected with the affair confirmed the truth of the woman's statement. Neither on her nor her mother bad be thrown the slight est imputation, though, if their character and lives offered any reason for disbelieving their testimony, Dr. Achilli had ample opportunities of proving it. A charge against a monk of violating a virgin child of 14 in a church was too serious a matter even to be hushed in Na ples, where it was said, as long as a man observed the ex ternals of religion the criminality and dissoluteness of his life was of little consequence. The scandal that got into circulation about the matter was so great that not even the protection of his friends, both civil and eccle siastical, could ward of, and proceedings were ac cordingly instituted before the police. But Dr. Aohilli never once confronted the parties before the commissary, and showed a pecular indifference to the chaige. His conduct led to one of two inferences, either that he evinced a gross and total indifference to decency and mo rality, or that he was so conscious of the justice of the oompla;nts made by the unfortunate girl and her injured family, that he dreaded denying the truth of the accu sation to their face. In Naples the Church stood high, and the priests were exalted, and there was naturally an indisposition by the authorities to silence calumnies against priests; but, after hearing the simple, artless tale of the girl, he was so satisfied with its truth that he sent her away, and left the ease to take its course in other tribunals. In the meantime Dr. Achilli remained silent, gave no reparation or redress to his victim, and ultimately left to pursue what he called his sacred mis sion in other places. Yet now, when she whose brow he had indelibly fixed with shame and disgrace, came into the box, be sought to brand her with the infamy and guilt of perjury. The Learned Counsel then adverted to the conduct of Dr. Achilli at Corfu, and to his con nexion with Garamoni's wife; to his establishing a Pro testant Church at Zsnte, and employing the woman Coriboni, a reputed woman of the town, as door-keeper, and her husband, who was a ohoruiesinger, as his clerk to read prayers; to these persons being servants in his own house; to his being seen taking indecent liber ties with the woman, and to his refusing to dismiss either of them from his service when the congregation complained. He next animadverted on Dr. Achilles proceedings at Malta college, observing that though the - managers of that establishment looked upon him as a valuable accession to Protestantism, and as a great gain from the enemy, they could not shut their eyes to his practices. He had been dismissed from that college for shielding from an inquiry the conduct of another converted monk who was accused of immorality and incontinence. Bat whatever might have been the conduct of Dr. Achilli abroad, it would surely be expected that he would have led a different life when he married and arrived in London. He took a house in Shaftesbury terrace, and the first thing he did was to solicit the chastity of his servant maid, but she effectually resisted his attempts. If her statement was true it threw much • light on his earlier history; for a Protestant minister who • had entered the holy state of matrimony was so forgetful of his duty as to commit adultery,they might easily imagine how strictly he kept his vows as a Roman Catholic) priest. This girl was not a Catholic, and no person would be so infatuated as to believe she had been bought over by Dr. Newman, and he thought the jury would not hesitate to rely on her testimony. Another servant, Legge, swore that Dr. Achilli had connextion with her. No doubt she had been a person of bad character, but her candour went to show that she was not a wit- • ness to be wholly distrusted. On being asked about her child, she said it was one is whom many fathers had shared; she honestly stated what she thought, and did not attempt to fix the paternity on Dr. Achilli or any other particular indivi dual. The girl Wood was the next witness, who de posed to the Doctor forcibly violating her person, but it was endeavoured to shake her evidence by t h e fact that she had been seduced at the early age, of 15, an d wa s He trusted now supposed to be a Roman Catholics , twe between however, the jury, in administering jos would not allow Protestants and Roman Cathol ics, their understandings to be c l ou ded by prejudice or the access to their intellig ence t be stopped bigotry. He cared by fanaticism and , itself, not on which side that spirit manife st e d Protestants, Roman Catholics agai nst o r Proiektants • t Roman Catholics. lie trusted that in adminis agams would hold the tering justice they seal 1 d es even y, an not permit them to be shaken by the height of religious z eal or passion. He appealedto their sense of justice, and to their feelings as men and Christians to deal fairly between the parties, remembering that however great a thing religious faith and zeal was • • , Justice was one of the earliest born and dearest emanations from God and religion. After dealing in detail with hot er portions of the evi dance, the Learned Counsel concluded his address by very eloquent and stirri ng ' peroration. He said he felt from the first th at in this case he had great disadvan tages to contend against. They bad before them two great champions o f opposite Churches, both o f whom had been and who e ndeavoure d n converted f rom t h e f a ith which they originally professed, • d to prove the excellence of the church to which they now belonged. He had hoped that the spirit of religious contention would never again be re kindled in this country; that having long slept and slumbered, it had sunk into perpetual oblivion; that the Roman Catholic with his upraised cross, and the Pro testant with his Bible, would not enter the arena for the purpose of obtaining dominion over the intellect of mankind. He said God prosper the truth on the present trial. Those 7 feelings had been recently rekindled with an energy. perhaps, unknown in our times. Religious dissension' had been, as it were, concentrated into a focus, in order, that a decision might be arrived at between the two', great conflicting principles. He could not con -, ceal from his mind that re li g i ous - op i n iow , .1 Rai& Wag the jadguaoiat $ w jug. Its
