That this Meeting, though aware of the intentions of the late Government of the Argentine Republic to arrange their English debt, and to renew its dividends, so soon reste treaty cf peace with France was ratified, and peace generally red to La Plata, feels called upon to express its deep mortification and disappointment 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 1,000,000/. sterling per annum, and that, according 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. has heard with much s atisfaction that one 2. That this Me etin g ofthe very first acts of the new Provisional Government has been to convey through her Britannic Maiesty's Minister at Buenos Ayres, I Captain the llon. 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 satis factory to all parties concerned." 3. That this Meeting begs to express its firmest confidence and fullest reliane that ene of the first acts of the new Govern ment will be c to redeem this pledge, and confer this act of simple justice upon England rand Englishmen, who have long reposed confidence in the good faith and honour of Buenos Ayres, and now look upon the new Government as their sure guarantee for its re,dempiion. And more, that the time has come, in I 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, ani Peru; and when also the Argentinelteputeic is destined to take her plac e amongst the great nations of America and Europe, who have ever found the pre servation of their national faith the key stone of the arch on any wti a _ l l . an alone securely and permanently be founded th e prosperity of nation. 4. That a memorial , embodying these sentiments, b e addressed to the new Government of the Argentine Republic,s ame and that the be holders, or by their chairman on their behalf, for transmission and signed by the bond handed to Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., sen d which they may delivery to that Government, through the ch Consider to be the most desirable and the best t F y atag for ° th ni e a merit, in such manner as and also to beg th at house to claim fit the hands of that Governme . a f te a ra laS se e ca l i they may see fit, a renewal of the p a ro s n audits products, especially guano, they cannot bondholders, to extinguish the debt, gee., as has been done so effectn °Asalcono e special ally in the case of Peru, and which P rc raro l irrs vi , n in g l b e e l en 9, raaci - to Messrs.

That a Deputation of the Bondholders and of others interested 1 in the prosperity of Buenos Ayres and its commerce with England, beaded by Thomas Baring, Esq., if he thinks proper and will do them : the favour to do so, do wait on the Earl of Malmesbury, and beg the Continuance of his good offices, in any manner of way his Lordship ratty think most proper, and the most likely to attain the end they have in view, and to accomplish a purpose so important to England as a country, and to many Englishmen as individuals, as the resto ration of so large a sum of money, so justly due, and so long with held ; and also to beg the assistance of the British Government, and their countenance and support, and that of their Minister at Buenos Ayres, in such course and arrangemeuta as may seem best calcu lated, at the earl:est 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, hewntannic Majesty's Minister at Buenos Ayres, for the prompt able manner in which he has begun to carry out the instructions of Viscount pal_ m ersten and Earl Granville, alike creditable to a British Minister amt of inestimable value to his countrymen ; and trusts that he may centime at Buenos Ayres to see and to contribute to this matter b e i ng brought to a favouaable t ermination, at an early day, under his atuipices and under the instructions of Earl MalmesbUry , from whom their Chairman has received the assurance " that Lord M al mesbury had 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 far 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 accordance with the resolu tions adopted at their last public meeting in May, 1851, in the hands o f the m essrs. Baring ; and to express a confident hope that the alessrs. 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 satisfied 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. Gower and seconded by Sir George Sartorius : That this Meeting is of opinion that, from official returns made by order of the Home of Commons, the guano found on the coast and islan I s of Patagonia (a portion of the territories of Buenos Ayres), from its quality and great abundance, will be found a useful and im purtant source of revenue, applicable (as in the clue of a sister re public, Peru) to the pal ment and liquidation of the Buenos Ayres' English debt. They particularly request the Messrs. Baring and the Committee to direct their early and earnest attention to this, at this Moment, universally admitted most important question. The above resolutions were all unanimously adopted. • (Signed) DAVID ROBERTSON, Chairman.

Yesterday the Metropolitan Burials Bill passed through Committee in the House of Commons, and to-day will come on for the third time. Although the 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 JonN 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 Cemetery Association. It has reference to Harlesden-green, Middlesex, and would thus, if carried into operation, become a for midable 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 that 48,000 dead bodies are each year added to the mass of 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 inhabitants of the Bri tish metropolis for the first time the requi site ground for their annual sepulture. Every thing should be done by the public at large to ftl ivauce the interests of companies like these, built up on a e sec ure ier f v c:indations, and tending to the realization of be so % a _ uy long-despaired-of advantages. At least the ould sh in which both schemes have originated mud for them the serious attention and the careful i by ulenvestigation of the community.

"'Olio attention bate 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 C2pitular 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- :utiono, so as to make them more extensive and more practically useful than at present." The Marquis of BLANDronD 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 250/. 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 as 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—a 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 2i, the church being pretty nearly in the centre, longitudinally, whilst by 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 44 miles by 4, with a population of 1,119 persons." S a 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—tho 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 2i 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 in 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 justice of their complaint will be universally acknow ledged— " That your petitioners feel this a very hard case, since the income for which they professioly labour is not only insufficient for the bare. ma i n t e nance of a clergyman, bat 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; thatafeelin feeling of de gradation 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 a mongst them; whilst, on the other hand, our venerable and 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 di vine rule that the spiritual workman is worthy of his hire, and that they who preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.'," Petitioners also hoar 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 soy— " That your petitioners do not wish it to be thought that they aro the only persons thus painfully suffering from inadequate incomes in tbis diocese, or in the Church generally, for they are aware that there is a n umerous' 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 Jeer your Honourable House, your petitioners would sincerely rejoice," Having given so much of the petition, we once figttill heartily commend to the consideration of Ministers and of candidates for senatorial 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 respectfully and humbly be seech your Honourable House to take their condition into your serious consideration, and to be pleased to their s pecuniary relief and sup in and kindness you may deemap d o r o t p t a ts s i u lie c n h my measures ooustr addeivjibs ea f rb o si r et e„wi 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 with that than of the Right Reverend Prelate who within less than fourteen yea rs a f ter his appointment re ceived 79,00 it /. more the income assigned to his see, the humble clergyman who, after thirty -one y ea rs of clerical labour, finds 0 w himself with an income less than 100/. a year to sup port a wife and family- It would be well if the friends of the working clergy obtained copies of the petition, and circulated them through every com mittee-room and at the hustings, at the approaching elections. .

It requires but a small stretch of imagination to believe ourselves at this moment in a boat off the coast of Brighton, for before us we have a vivid glimpse of those three miles which, beginning at -cresce n t an d en di ng at Kemp-town, are so to all who have regarded Brighton in it s Ts and remarkable point of v i ew , from the sea. B efore us stretches out that lon g , b u t by no Af m adm os ei t ilai a ai t dr t e ractive means uniform line of houses and " mansions" of all characters and sizes , from the monumental hei g ht o f " B e llevue" to that singular l y a based domicil e which appears to have sunk one story at the least into the bosom of the earth. The many pointed tower s visible in the ba c k groun d, while in the distance the and antique spires of the Pavili on are summits of the Downs are distinguished:on the one the other the old church and the build ings on the side, and on hill. Every square and every street which intersects the main road is particularised, from Brunswi c k. s qu are to Arundel-terrace, at the li m its of Ke mp Town. Heartily can we commend the artist w ho has so vividly called before us a sce ne w hich few wh o have witnessed it would forget. H e h a s 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 la which we survey the sce n e). A steam er is about tond its passe ngers at the Chain Pier. The b f ea r Chines are on the verge of the water , and crowds onen o t w hi ds g 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 colouie& The sight of it, on a sunshiny day like this, is enough to tempt one to turn from the noise and dust of Loneon, and take a ticket for the next " down" train. Great praise is due to Mr. Grant, the news-agent of Castle-square, for the very oppor tune publication of this very charming panorama. birb biettont NEWCASTLE RACES. (THIS DAY.)

(:3ittings tit Nisi Prius at Westminster, ibefore:Lord CAMPEELL and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF ACHILL') V. NEWMAN. As soon as Ibis Coors of the court were opened this morning there was a general rush and scramble for places, end in Leis than two minutes every part was closely parked. tair A. E. CCCKBUSSN 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 be divested from the minds of the jury. Independent of the question, as to the feleehoed or truth of the serious charge made against Dr. there came another circumstance fcr consi deration, v i z., that gross, foul, an I deliberate perjury meet have b: en committed en one side or the other. The case c.dmittsd 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 tliat a man might, iu his general intercourse with women, forget the object of his practices in a particuler instance. Eib.her 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 he 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, be sue coaled 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 entirely 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 had 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 rule of the Jesuits, that where the advancement of the Roman Catholic religion was con cerned, the sacredness of the end 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 com 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 with a monk's 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 had 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. Achilii 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 Rom en 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 ltoaoinkepdrosueplyolnes him m om R es ema a n Catholicism, great shining light in the Protestant Church that might b e the mea ns o f o b ta i n i ng meny conversion a nd who had s. To his utility in that respect his moral character was absolutely essential. If that chat-Aster 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 too ttial 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 consideration, 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 hor mother had be thrown the slight est imputation, thougb, if their character and lives eff-red any reason for disbelieving their testimony, Dr. Achilli had ample eoportunhies of proving it. A charge tinniest a monk of violating a virgin child of la in a c!murch was too serious ama ter 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 hfe was of little c3nsequence. The scandal that got into circulation about the matter was so great th a t not even the protection of his friends, both civil and eccle siastical, could ward of, and proceedings were ec• cerdiegly instituted before the police. But Dr. Achilli never once confronted the parties before the commissary, and showed a pecular indifference to the charge. Ilia 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 compla i 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 case 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, ho sought to brand her with the infamy and guilt of perjury. The Learned Counsel then adverted t.) the conduct of 1)r. Achilli at Corfu, and to his con n- xion with Garamoni's wife; to his establishing a Pro testant Church at Z Aate, and employing the woman Coriboni, a reputed woman of the town, as door -keeper, and her husband, who was a chorus-singer, 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. Achilli 's proceedings at Malta college, observing that though the managers of that establishment looked upon him as a valuable accession to Protestantism, rind as a great gain fit= the enemy, they could not shut their eyes to his practices. He bad been dismissed from that college for shielding from an inquiry the conduct of another converted monk who was accused of immorality and incontinence. But whatever might have been the conduct of Dr. Achilli abroad, it would surely be expected that be would have led a different life when he married and arrived he 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 en his earlier history; for a Protestant minister who had entered the holy s t a t e o f matr i mony was so forgetful of his duty as to commit adultery,they might easily imagi ne how stric ly he kept his vows as a Roman Catholic ' priest. This girl was not a Catholic, and no person would bo so infatuated as to believe she had been boug ht over by Dr. Newman, and he thought the jury wo uld not hesitate to rely on her testimony. Another servant, L"gge, swore that Dr. Achilli had connextion with her. Nu 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 i* 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 di i B e who de dual. The girl Wood was the next y g ibe tacit hat n Vf eb i a ln p e ep ' ol3, bt , it posed to the Doctor forcibly violating y en a7e of 15, and was was endeavoured to shake her evil she had been seduced at the ear Catholic.

He appealed to their sense of justic e ' and to their feelings as Roman Catholics. men and Christians to deal fairly between the parties,rememberin g that however gr eat a thing religious faith and zeal was, justice was one of the ear hest bornand dearest emanations from God and religion. Atter dealing in detail with other port i o ns of the evi donee, the Learned Counsel concluded his address by _ very eloquent and stirring peroration. He said be felt from the fi rst t h at i n this case he had great disadvan tages to contend against. They bad before them two great champions of opposite Churches, both of whom heel been converted from the faith which they originally professed, and who endeavoured whichthat they now belonged. He had hoped the spirit of religious contention would never again be reet kindled in this country; that having long slept t a t _ d e slumbered, it had sunk into perpetual oblivion; tha hr b o. Roman Catholic with his upraised cross, and the sirens' testant with his Bible, would not enter the ar the for the purpose of obtaining dominion over ca re r intellect of mankind.
