THE NAY I. The following new ships are ordered to be laid down for construction in Woolwich Dockyard On No. 1 slip, after the launch of the screw steam a 36-gun frigate, to be named frigate Dartmouth, the Blonde ; after the launch of the gunboat Sylvia, a 4-gun screw s team sloop to be commenced on that sap, No. 2 ; and on the competion of the Wolverine, on No. 6 slip, a new steam screw corvette of 22 guns to be laid down, called the Ontario. The building of the Repulse, 91, screw steamship com menced on the ith June, 1859, on No. 5 slip, has been for some time suspended. The Caledonia, iron-cased ship, laid down en slip No. 4 is progress ing rapidly. A serew steam corvette, to carry an armament of 22 guns, is also ordered to be laid down on a vacancy occurring. The fitting of the Trusty, floating battery, with Capt. Coles' shot-proof shield for experimental pur poses, at Shoaburyness, is now nearly completed. The shield consists of iron plates 12 inches thick, and the total weight, including the timber work, will be 60 tons. The shipwrights of Woolwich Dockyard have been engaged for some days in preparing the timbers from a model for the erection of a rifle tower on the upper deck of the Warrior. The preparations hav ing been completed they will proceed this morning to carry their work into execution. The tower will consist of an oval kind of gallery containing 12 loopholes for rifle-firing, and 4 ditto of larger cir cumference, one to be placed at each angle, for swivel guns. The height of the building, which will be visible about a foot above the bulwarks on the quarter-deck, will be 7 feet, length 15 feet, and width 9 feet. It will be built of blocks teak 12in. thick, and will be cased with iron slabs of 4in. thick. There will be an extra casing three-eighths of an inch thick to cover the inside. The work will be commenced this morning. Commodore-Superintendent the Hon. J. It. Drum mond, C. 8., terminated his duties at the dockyard this day, on his appointment as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and will be succeeded to-morrow by Captain Sir W. F. C. Nicholson, Bart., C. 8., formerly commander of the Pique. In a general memorandum issued from the Admi ralty it is specially ordered that in the future entry of men for the navy petty officers and able seamen only are to be received, with such first class ordinary seamen as may have previously served in the navy and as may be considered desirable men for the ser vice. Great care is to be taken in the selection of boys, so that none may be received who are not physically fit, and likely hereafter to prove valuable seamen ; and in whatever ships boys may be entered ther lordships trust that every exertion may be made for their training. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., preparing at Portsmouth for renewed service in the Mediterranean, is expected to sail from Spithead about the loth inst. This ship, for a probable c ommission of not exceeding two years, has received one of the most extensive refits ever given to a vessel even in a Royal dockyard. The alterations that have been carried out on board of her more than bear out the truth of the remarks made in an article which appeared in this journal. Brickmaking on St. Mary's Island, to supply the demand which will be created for the new works, walls, &c.. when Chatham Dockyard is enlarged, is proceeding vigorously. Capital brick earth has been found on the island, and nearly 200 of the convicts are now busy making bricks. It is com puted that, up to this day, 100,000 bricks have been made by the various gangs of convicts engaged in the labour. None of the bricks have yet been burnt. An enormous quantity of bricks will be needed for the new works. No strictly accurate esti mate can be formed of the total number which will be needed ; but it is thought probable that no fewer than 100,000,000 will be required. The following appointments were made on Satur day at the Admiralty :—Capt. Sir F. W. E. Nicol son, C. 8., to be Commodore-Superintendent of Woolwich Dockyard; R. C. Allen, master, addi tional to the Asia, for the Duncan ; Wm. T. Wilson, surgeon, to the Himalaya ; R. Purves, ussist.-surg., to the Blenheim ; Benjamin H. _Ay, actor; assist.-sung., to the St. Geo rg e ; K. H. _ C. Muller, acting assist,-engineer, to the Fisgard, as supernumerary ; J. Bowkcr, acting azsist.-engi neer, to the Cumberland, as supernumerary; C. J. 13igley, second master, to the Griffon ; W. F. Greet, master's assist., to the Griffon ; F. F. Eversfield, paymaster, additional, to the Britannia; C. H. Stone, assist-paymaster, to the Himalaya ; W. 11. Gribbell, assist.-paymaster, to the Majestic ; E. C. Knevitt, assist.-paymaster, to the Hogue ; C. Leigh, assist.- paymaster, in charge, to the Griffon ; and D. W. Wise, clerk, to the Formidable. TILE ARMY. Instructions have been issued by his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, through the Deputy-Adjutant-General, Royal Artillery, to the officer commanding Royal Artillery of the Chatham district, directing that the Half-Moon battery, at the entrance to the Medway, be handed over to the commanding Royal Engineer, in order that the contractors may immediately commence . to build the new casemated bomb-proof battery which is about to be erected on its site. The Half-moon battery has been entirely dismantled by the men of the Royal Artil lery, and the 8 inch guns with which it was armed, together with the platforms and carriages, have been removed and handed over to the Ordnance Department. The whole of the ammunition, shot, shell, and other stores belonging to this battery have likewise been removed, and deposited in the extensive magazines attached to the other works of defence. On Saturday the Royal Artillery com pleted the dismantlement of the Cavalier battery, adjoining the Half-moon battery, and the 8 inch 56 pounders and 32 pounder guns with which it was armed, together with the hollow and solid shot, shell, and other ammunition, have been removed to convenient and s ecure places of deposit preparatory to this battery also being demolished. During the time the new batteries are in progress 15 of the 100 pounder Armstrong guns, each of 81 cwt., are to be mounted on the spa defence line of fortifications commanding the approaches to the Medway, in lieu of the 68 pounders and 10 inch guns, and these will be mounted on the fortifications as soon as they have been received from the gun factory at Wool wich. Cupolas for melting the iron for Martin's shells have been supplied to all the principal bat teries of the Chatham district. Major-Gen. Sir R. Dacres, K.C.8., having re. turned from leave of absence, will resume the duties of command of Woolwich garrison this morning. The command of the garrison has been carried out during the General's absence by Col. Teesdale, R.A., the senior officer in succession. The steamer Avon arrived yesterday from Bar br.,does, whence she sailed on the 11th June. She brings Major-General Sir A. Cloete, Lady Cloete and child, Captain Bruce, Major Daizell and wife, Surgeon Bain and family, Capt. Peddle, Lieut. Sherwood and wife and child, all of the 21st Re giment ; Lieutenant Bradshaw, 14th Regiment ; Mrs. Strickland and daughter, Mrs. Major and two children,4s military invalids for discharge, 6 women, and 5 children. The following vessels have been chartered by the Hon. Council of India for the conveyance of rein forcements to India, and will embark the under mentioned troops at Gravesend on the dates named, --the Clarence, 295 men, July 2 ; the Middlesex, 3 50 men, July 10 ; the Holinesdale, 300 men, July 11 ; the Cospatrick, 311 men, July 13.

H. Wesley, deputy adjutant-gene ral, took place to-day. General Wesley arrived at the barracks about 10 o'clock. The men and their kits were first inspected, and gave satisfaction. A party were then taken to the gun-shed for gun drill. The general expressed an opinion that the drill was somewhat relaxed, as it too stringent, and might be was calculated to harass the men to an unnecessary extent. The non-commissioned officers of the divi sion were examined in the sword exercise. About half-past one o'clock the general took lunch with Col. Rea, the commandant of the division, the band playing in the square during the repast. About one third of the men of the division were drilled on the square, about half-past two o'clock.

Insiderable misconception having arisen as to the ten-shilling fee required from all volunteer com petitors for the prizes of the National Rifle Asso ciation, we publish the following extract from Rule 16 :—" At the meeting of the Association it shall be open to all volunteer corps to send a certain number of their members to compete for prizes, pro vided that the persons so sent be bona fide enrolled volunteers. No entrance fee shall be required from volunteer competitors so sent whose corps has sub scribed to the funds of the National Rifle Associa tion an annual sum of not less than £1 per company or subdivision. From all other corps the competi tors so sent shall be charged an entrance fee of 10s. each. These payments shall entitle the above competitors to shoot for all the prizes open to Volunteers only." On Friday last the annual meeting of the St. George's Rifles was held in the Board-room of the Workhouse of the parish. It appeared from the report, which was unanimously adopted, that the receipts for the past year had been £2,506, besides a further sum due of £467, the balance in hand being £530. The committee for the ensuing year having been elected, the proceedings terminated. On Tusday evening the second annual meeting of the 20th Middlesex Volunteers was held at 239, Easton-road, under the presidency of Lieutenant- Colonel Bigge, F.G.S., Commandant, for the purpose of receiving and considering the report and balance sheet for the past year, and other business. The Secretary (Mr. Hoare) submitted the report and balance-sheet from the • council, together with the report of the Band Committee. The balance avail able for general purposes had increased from £l3l 19s. 4d. to £215 10s. 7d. ; balance of clothing ac count £7 13s. 2d., making a total at present of £223 3s. 9d. The committee regretted a diminution in the amount of honorary subscriptions and dona tions, but this was attributable partly to the fact that at the first formation of the corps several full subscriptions of life members were paid, while some of their patrons had tran.r—a Larir eatropa6,- ev tormeil in their own dist r i c t s . The c eir r ic s tive strength of the corps was 1,300, which in cluded the Metropolitan and West Central Com panies, the former comprising about 600 and the latter over 100 members, but neither of whose finances had as yet been brought into the general account. The committee congratulated the members on the recent nomination of the Hon. H. Gage (an officer of experience) as Major, the appointment of an adjutant by Government, and the erection of a butt at Willesden, affording a range of 700 yards. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, remarked that if the attention of the members at drill was as successful as everything else connected with the corps, he should consider himself to be one of the most fortunate commanding officers of volun teers in the country. Captain Houghton, Ist com pany, seconded the adoption of the report, and the motion was carried by a large majority. The annual dinner of the corps took place last Thursday even ing, at St. James's Hall, when 800 sat down to din ner, and the entertainment passed off with great eclat. On Friday and Saturday a grand Volunteer fete and fancy bazaar in aid of the funds of the South Middlesex Rifles, came off in the grounds adjacent to Beaufort House, Fulham. The interior of the spacious club-room was tastefully ornamented with flags and banners. The prizes, consisting of silver cups, tankards, &c., were competed for by Volun teers, in hurdle races, Highland reels, running, high jump, siuglestick, high leap with pole, con tests with the sword against the bayonet, wide leap, fencing, sword-dance, flat races, hop, step and jump, running in sacks, &c. A silver cup was won by Mr. Macnamara, of the London Irish, at wide leap ; Mr. Wilson won a prize at a hurdle race, and also one at flat racing. The official inspection of the Ist Middlesex Engi neers took place on Thursday and Friday last. On the former day the corps paraded in Hyde Park, and executed the movements incident to a field-day and the usual battalion movements, in the presence of Colonel M'Murdo, C.B. A large number of spectators assembled, among whom were Colonel Viscount Ranelagh and the Hon. Colonel Charles Lindsay. A strong detachment of the 46th Mid dlesex, under the command of Sir J. Shelley, M.P., undertook to keep the ground, which they did in the most efficient manner. At the close of the in spection Colonel M'Murdo addressed Colonel M'Leod of M'Leod and the Engineers and expressed his satisfaction at the steadiness they had shown in the various movements. When Colonel M'Murdo arrived at head-quarters of the corps, at South Kensington, on Friday evening, the men were en gaged in the erection of a two gun half-sunken bat tery, and in making gabions and fascines required for its proper construction. After minutely inspecting the work and questioning the men on varions points such as the dimensions and height of the different parts, &-c., Colonel 'Murdo expressed himself pleased and satisfied with the work shown to him. On Friday evening last the Finsbury (39th Mid dlesex), nine companies strong, attended under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Colville, in Gray's. inn-gardens, for the purpose of undergoing the official inspection. There were about 430 members present, of whom 381 were efficient. These latter were formed into eight companies and underwent a very severe drill. After inspection, Major Nelson, the inspecting officer from the War-office, addressed the corps. He congratulated them on having the good fortune to be commanded by Colonel Colville, and commended their efficiQncv. On Tuesday evening the official inspection of the West Middlesex Rifles by Colonel M'Murdo, as sisted by Major Nelson, took place in the Regent's Park. Shortly after 7 o'clock the corps to the number of 365 of all ranks, under the command of its Licutenant-Coloncl, Lord Radstock, Captain and Adjutant Pennymore, and Captain Fenton, acting Major in the absence of Major Compton, marched into the Regent's -park, headed by its band, where they found Colonel M'Murdo and Major Nelson already in waiting. There were but a compara tively small, number of the public present on ac count of the wet and the want of knowledge that such a proteeding was to take place. Great disap- ;TIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAYS ;=EVENING, JULY 1, 1861. pointment was, however, experienced, and we be - - lieve shared in by the men, that no blank ammu nition was served out, and that consequently no firing took place. The movements were, therefore, confined to battalion drill, chiefly forming squares to receive cavalry, marching in column, line, and eschelon, and other field evolutions, and marching past at the quick and the double, skirmishing, and light infantry exercise. Colonel M'Murdo compli mented the men on the way in which they per formed one movement, which, even in regiments of the line, was looked upon as most difficult, that of forming square on the two centre sub-divisions, and also the noble lord their commander on the clear and distinct manner in which he gave the words of command. On Wednesday last a match took place at Plum stead between 10 men of the London Rifle Brigade and 10 of the First Surrey Rifles. The distances were 200, 500, and 600 yards ; five shots at each range. The total score of the former was 149 points, and of the latter 147 points. On the afternoon of Saturday, the 22d current, the Bth Essex Volunteers went by special train to Tottenham, and were at the residence of Captain Commandant Sinclair, under the command of Major Horatio Love, drawn up in review order, when, in the presence of a large assemblage, they were by Miss Campbell presented with a set of colours, the work of herself and Miss Sinclair. On Saturday, the 22d ult., about 40 members of the 2d Administrative Battalion (Hampstead, High gate, and Hornsey) met at the Range, Child's-hill, Hampstead, to compete for a Whitworth rifle, given by Mr. J. Hoare, and a gold challenge medal given by Major Wilkinson, to the best shot of the batta lion, and a Lancaster rifle, given by the other officers to the next best shot. Ranges. 200, 400, and 500 yards; five rounds at each. The Whitworth and medal were won by Sergeant J. Scott (Hamp stead), who scored 20 points, and the Lancaster by Lieut. Holford, who scored 18 points, and won the tie with Capt. Warner. The first annual meeting of the Shropshire Rifle Association took place on Friday in Hawkstone park, immediately adjacent to the residence of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, Viscount Hill. The locale, whether as regards picturesque beauty or convenience for rifle practice, can scarcely be matched in England, and these two causes com bined resulted in an enormous gathering both of volunteers and spectators. Lord Hill had made ample provision in the way of creature comforts for the volunteers, &c, No fewer than 1,114 volunteers were present, of whom 154 were artillery. The re mainder were rifles, and the whole were divided into two battalions. The first, commanded by Lord Berwick, comprised two companies of artillery and seven companies of rifles ; the second battalion, consisting of eight companies of rifles, was com manded by Lieut:-Col. Lovett. Lord Hill arrived on the ground a little before 11 o'clock, dressed in his uniform as colonel of the North Shropshire Yeomanry Cavalry, and accompanied by Major Dick, assistant-inspector of volunteers for the Mid land district, Capt. Clement Hill, the Hon. R. C. Hill, M.P., the Hon. Geoffrey Hill, &c. The volun teers went through a series of evolutions in a most creditable and soldier-like manner, at the conclusion of which Lord Hill expressed his satisfaction at having the first meeting of the association in his park. He was glad to find that Shropshire had not been behind in the movement. Major Dick then addressed the volunteers, whom he highly complimented for the manner in which they had gone through the various evolutions. Cheers were then given for Major Dick, Lord Berwick, Lady Hill, and the ladies of Shropshire, after which the shooting for prizes commenced. The following were the chief of these :-Ist Prize.—A . purse of £25 and a Whitworth rifle presented by the late Lord Berwick for the largest aggregate number of points made at the reapective ranges of 300, 500, and 600 yards. Won by Corporal Jones, 2d Com pany (Market Drayton), 17 points. 2d Prize.—A purse of £2O and a rifle, presented by Mr. Ebrall, for the next largest aggregate number of points made at the above ranges. - Won by Private Harper, 2d Company, 16 points. 3d Prize—A pnrsf. of 120 ......2 a. ail rcA . a,..., nesentea by Archdeacon Allen, for the third largest aggregate number of points made at the above ranges. Sergeant Roberts, 12th Company (Wem). 4th Prize—A purse of £2O for greatest number of points made at 600 yards (win ners of any of the foregoing prizes being excluded), Private Edward Phillips, sen., Ist Company (Shrewsbury). 9th Prize—A Challenge Cup, value £5O, open to all corners belonging to or resident in the county, whether members of volunteer corps or not ; five rounds ; range, 600 yards. There were 22 competitors, the prize being won by Private Edward Phillips, sen., Ist company, who made seven points. The shooting terminated about 7 o'clock, after which the prizes were delivered by Lord Hill, who addressed a few appropriate re marks to each recipient. The day was uncommonly fine, and the proceedings passed off without the slightest accident or unpleasantness. Nearly 20,000 persons were present, among whom were the Vis countess Hill, Earl Brownlow, Viscount Newport, M.P., Lord and Lady Henry Thynne, Lady Marian Alford, &c. On Thursday the second battalion of the North York Rifle Volunteers was reviewed on the slope before the north front of Castle Howard by Major Harman. The volunteers having been put through a series of evolutions, were addressed by the re viewing officer, who expressed himself gratified to be able to report favourably of their efficiency to the Secretary for War. The beautiful day attracted a vast number of visitors to the park, which has sel dom presented a gayer appearance. After review there was a dance to the music of the bands of the Ist and 3d companies on the sward in the front of the castle. It was 9 o'clock ere the bugle sounded the assembly. On Wednesday last a match came off between twelve men of the 4th North Yorkshire (Hang West) and twelve men of the 12th (Wensleydale) Volunteers. Ten rounds were fired at 200 yards, giving an average score for the former of 12.75, and for the latter of 10.66. The Essex County Rifle Association will hold its first annual meeting at Southend on Monday, Aug. 5. The Braintree and Colchester companies had a shooting match at Wivenhoe in the course of last week. The ranges were 200, 300, 400, and 600 yards; five shots each; and eight gentlemen shot on each side. The Braintree competitors made 99 points and the Colchesters 139, being 12 per man in one case and 17Z- per man in the other. In Lincolnshire two valuable silver cups have been , shot for by the Holland and Lindsey Battalions, the first competition taking place at Boston and the second at Lincoln. The cups were given by the Countess of Yarborough. At Boston the Boston, Spalding, Holbeach, and Donington companies competed through a limited number of their best shots, and the cup was won by Armourer Slingsby, of the Boston corps ; Sergeant Wheeler, of the same corps, was awarded an Enfield rifle ; and Private Russell, of the Donington corps, a gold watch. At Lincoln the range was 300 yards, ten rounds per man, and the three Lincoln companies, the Market- Rasen , Horncastle, Alford, Spilsby, Lou th, Grimsby, and Barton companies were represented. The cup given by the Countess of Yarborough was won by Dr. Lowe, of the 3d Lincoln. Sergeant Marshall, of castthlee e 2 o d m L p i a n n c y o n tiedan d v, t r h i Private Doctor, Wilson, octor but o thef H in o shoot ingrn ff 2d d e p s r u o ff v o e lt d Victorious . had a field-day on Fri- Thea ee ne, of Glevering hall, near Wickham•Market, commanded by Capts. Haward, Pierson, Rouse, and Long ; Lieuts. Aree deckno, Hayward, and Garrett. Th e b atta li on, which mustered in all about 4 0 0 Volunt eers , was reviewed by Lieut.-Col. Ibbetson, Inspector of Volunteers for the Eastern district, and executed in a creditable style a variety of manoeuvres. At the close of the movements Lieut. Arcedeckne, in the name of Mrs. Arcedekne, presented a silver bugle to the Glevering company. On Wednesday and Thursday there was a shoot. ing match between 113 members of "the Norwich, Aylsham, Dereham, Fakenham, Harleston, Holk ham, Loiddan, Lynn, Reepham, Stalham, Wymond ham, and Yarmouth companies, for a number of prizes provided by subscription. The competitors fired three.shots each range, at 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards ; and a silver teapot was also shot far at 700 yards. The first prize of £2O was won by Captain Holloway, of Holkham. The Ist Ca.mbfidgeshire battalion has been re viewed at Wisbech, in the presence of the Earl of Hardwick°, Lord Royston, and a large number of the elite of the district. A bazaar was held at Wisbeach at the same time in aid of the funds of the battalion, and at the close, on Thursday evening, the considerable um of £1,032 had been realised. The Earl and Countess of Hardwicke, Lady Ag neta Yorke, Lord Royston, Mr. Adene, M.P., and Lady Elizabeth Adene, and the principal families of the neighbourhood, manifested a warm interest in the proceedings. The Northamptonshire Rifle Association will hold its second annual meting at Easton, Neston park, on Thursday, July 18. A review of the Northamptonshire corps will be held on the occa sion. unfit a clergyman for the practical duties of a parish priest; because he is, in fact, in diametrical opposi• tion to his paritthioners with respect to the very basis of Christianity and the very foundation of their faith. He is in a false relation to them, which, whether clearly known by them or not, is a funda mental defect in his position ; and if he preaches openly what he thinks there is no parish in Eng land in which he could stay a week.— Times. PO , WE INTELLIGENCE—June 29. THAMES—EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF AFFILIA TION.—Mr. Charles Barnes, a man about 37 years of age, married, and the father of six children, ap peared before Mr. Woolrych on a summons which charged him with being the putative father of an illegitimate male child, and called upon him to show cause why he should not pay 2s. 6d. per week for its maintenance, and other expenses. Mr. Kenealy, LL.D., a barrister, opened the case for the prosecution. The complainant, Miss Jane Storey, was a young lady of respectable family and formerly an assistant to a draper at Sleaford. The defendant was an inspector of the Derbyshire con stabulary stationed at Matlock in that county and a married man with six children. The defendant first became acquainted with Miss Storey on the occasion of his official interference with a case of shop-lifting at her master's house in Slea ford. Miss Storey subsequently paid a visit to the defendant's wife during her confinement with her fifth child, and upon that visit, with his wife in the same house, Mr. Barnes seduced Miss Storey. The illicit intercourse existed for several years after wards at intervals, and Mr. Barnes, forgetting his vows at the altar and his family duties, frequently enjoyed himself in the society of Miss Storey. On the occasion of the Arboretum fete in the town of Derby, on the 24th of June, 1860, the gallant in spector of police engaged a private room at Mead's Temperance Hotel, and there Miss Storey visited him. The result of that interview was the birth of a male child in Chatham on the 26th of March last. There was no doubt the defendant was the father of the child. Mrs. Mead, the landlady of the Tempe rance Hotel at Derby, would be called in corrobo ration of the complaint. Since the birth of the child the defendant had used every possible exer- ; Lion to induce the mother not to swear it to him ) had sent her three letters, which he (Mr. Kenealy might have occasion to put in evidence; and had used threats, persuasions, and entreaties to induce her to quit London, and not affiliate the child; and she was at last so harassed that she was obliged to leave her apartments. There was no doubt the de fendant was the father of the child, and that he was a police inspector at Matlock, and a married man with six young children. The complainant, a ladylike young woman of considerable personal attractions, said her parents lived at Sleaford. A tender intimacy commenced between her and the defendant in 1858, when she visited his wife. She then confirmed in detail all the statements made by the learned counsel, and said she had frequently met the defendant at an hotel in Derby. The blinds of .the room were al ways down when they were there. The intercourse with the defendant continued until February last, and he said he would support the child when it was born. Mr. Barnes was the father of the child. She had received a great many letters from the defen dant relative to their connexion. She identified three letters put into her hands by Mr. Kenealy to be in defendant's handwriting. The defendant cross-examined Miss Storey at great length, and in a most extraordinary manner. She said, in answer to his questions—My father first heard of this in March last. At your sugges tion I said the child was not yours. I said the father of it was a commercial traveller. You told me to say so. My parents believed me. I never told my parents that you had not, in any instance, acted im properly by me. I was confined in my brother's house at Chatham. I told my brother Edward you were the father of my child. My brother threat ened to write to your wife, and to your chief con stable in Derbyshire. If my brother had not threat ened that I should have sworn the child to you. I left your residence at Matlock in February last be cause there were words between you and your wife about me. All the letters you sent me with your protestations of love, constancy, and eternal fidelity are burnt. The only letters of yours in existence that I know of are those before me. I know Mr. Haldam, a commercial traveller. I first became acquainted with him on Good Friday, 1860. He has not paid his addresses to me. He has taken me out as a friend. I went out with him one night and returned home in a cab with him, which he pro vided for me because it rained. Mr. Haldam has not come from B urton-on-Tren tto Sleaford on Saturday nights and Sunday mornipes, anti gum, away on Monday mornings atter seeing me. My sister Lizzy uuc may Haldam was a good chance for me. I was formerly employed in the h ouse o f M rs. Holmes. Mr. Haldam's first name is Richard. I have not christened the child by that name. Mat lock is 17 miles from Derby. You arrived on the evening of the arboretum fete at Derby, about eight o'clock. I was in the room—a private one—at the hotel, waiting for you. I told my sister I was going to chapel. I left you at the hotel, and went and joined my sister and Mr. Haldam, and took a walk in the arboretum. It rained, andiwe sought shelter under the trees. Mr. Haldam took me into a public house near the arboretum. He saw me home to the hotel afterwards, and I joined you. Mr. Holmes is not a married man. He obtained a situation for my sister. I am not aware that he will ob tain one for me. I have been living at 7, Janet terrace, Stepney, for the purpose of taking out the summons at this court. Mr. Holmes is my late em ployer at Derby. I was with him one year and three quarters. My father did rebuke me once for lolling upon you. Upon my oath you had intercourse with me at Sleaford. I never put my feet on your lap in a rude, wanton, and improper manner in presence of your wife and sister. I have not gone into your bedroom at Matlock after your wife has gone down stairs, but your wife has nearly caught you in my bedroom. The Defendant—Have I not said to you, when you have been fondling over me, Get a husband of your own, Jenny." Complainant—Never, Charles, never. The Defendant— You were good-looking enough to get a husband. Complainant—Perhaps I am. (Laughter.) The defendant continued his cross-examination for some time, imputing the most disgusting and lascivious conduct on the part of the complainant in her intercourse with him, which she stoutly denied. The Defendant-1 can ask her no more. She knocks me out of time. Mr. Woolrych (to complainant)—Did you ravish this police inspector ? Complainant--No, sir, I did not. The Defendant—l do not say that, exactly, but she would never leave me alone. Mrs. Mary Ann Mead, landlady of a hotel in Derby, spoke to the complainant and defendant frequently meeting there and having a private room. She always looked upon Mr. Barnes as a gentleman paying his addresses to Miss Storey--as her lover. Mr. Woolrych —No, according to his account she paid her addresses to him. In answer to other questions, Mrs. Mead said the parties met on the night of the Arboretum fete. They were in a private room, and the shutters were closed. There was a sofa in the room. The defendant addressed the magistrate at great length. He did not mean to deny a long intercourse with the complainant, who was the seducer, and not the seduced—(a laugh)—but he had no connexion with her for two months before the Arboretumfete at Derby, on the 24th June, 1860, and for two months afterwards. The complainant was in Mr. Hadlam's company on the anniversary of the Ar boretum, and he saw her home in a cab, and was the most likely person to be the father. He had been 17 years in his office of a police inspector, and if the child was affiliated upon him it would reduce him to beggary. The summons would never have been taken out if the brothers of the complainant , had not interfered. Mr. Woolrych said he was sorry for any grave consequences that might arise from the defendant's indiscretions. He could not help it. He had come to the conclusion that Mr. Barnes was the father of Miss Storey's child. There was full, minute, and circumstantial evidence of the intimacy between the parties, commencing at Matlock in 1858, and con tinuing until within two months of the birth of the child. He had not the slightest doubt the defendant was the putative father of the complainant's child, and he made an order upon him to pay 2s. 6d. per week for its maintenance .until it was 13 years of age, and to pay costs. Defendant—l have only £65 a year, and a wife and six children to maintain. This is not the case of a young girl, Miss Storey is now 27 years of age. Mr. Woolrych—This is not the ordinary case of a young unmarried man, but the case of a married man with six children, who is an inspector in the Derbyshire constabulary force. Besides the 2s. 6d. per week, I order two guineas law costs, 10s. for the midwife, £1 15s. for the summoning officer's travelling expenses to Matlock and back, £1 15s. to the witness, Mrs. Mead, and 4s. for the summons and order, in all six guineas costs. SOUTHWARK.—THE GREAT FIRE IN TOOLEY STREET.—In the course of the day several men were brought before Mr. Combe charged by the police with having 'in their possession seven or eight tons of tallow floated into the river and sewers from the great fire at Cotton's and Hay's wharves, Tooley-street: The majority of the pri soners had cartioads of the tallow which they were conveying away for the purpose of disposing of it. Some of the prisoners said that they had worked THE MEETING OF CONVOCATION. It must be admitted that during the present Session Convocation has displayed more than usual vitality. After liberalising the time-honoured insti tution of Godfathers aid Godmothers, and making a demonstration in favour of a revival of the Offer tory, it has proceeded to attack the great religious scandal of the day—the redoubtable volume of " Essays and Reviews." We are not disposed to cavil at this exercise of its functions. Convocation is a pretty fair exponent of the views of the great body of the clergy, and its . judgment on ques tions of this nature is, at all events, less invidious than that of any isolated Bishop who may be rash enough to break a lance with an imputed heretic in the Arches Court. The wisest course, in our opinion, would have been to leave the matter to be settled between the public and the booksellers, who, but for the timely interference of the Bishops, would have found their speculation a losing affair. The controversy, however, once stirred, must be allowed to burn itself out, and the poking which Convocation has just administered may help to expedite the process. We have no intention of burning our fingers by taking part in any theolo gical discussion which may arise upon the volume in question. But there is a practical view of the subject which must be obvious to every one who gives it a moment's thought, and upon which, as laymen, we may be permitted to make a few re marks. The orthodox gentlemen who believe in Bishop rics believe also, as a matter of course, in every thing else which is true and proper. Theirs is a wonderfully malleable creed,—just starch enough, just lax enough, just tight enough, just loose enough, with just argument enough and just sentiment enough in it, spiced and flavoured to the standard taste with great judgment and accu racy, adding here and dropping there, taking in the little floating particles of current thought as they go by, so as just to keep up with the day, and not to pass it, and be at once properly old and properly new. It is this tendency of the day which converts any honest and bold expression of religious opinion out of the established mould and type of the day into a striking phenomenon, and we may even say one which in a certain sense com mands respect. It is, at any rate, plain that those who make such a demonstration, if they are clergy men and men of ability, sacrifice their prospects to their own views of truth. But, while we give the authors of the " Essays and Reviews" full credit for their sincerity and self-sacrifice, and while we honestly think that their avowed scepticism cannot do a tenth part of the injury to practical faith that the constant spectacle of the huge mass of worldly unreal belief does, we cannot shut our eyes to the awkward fact of a certain number of able and edu.• cated men among the clergy having avowed a reli gious belief different not only from that of our clergy, but from that of our congregations. This is a very serious thing. The condemnation or quasi condemnation just passed on the book by Convoca tion will not go for much, but a collision with the religious creed of the laity is a difficulty. Some of these gentlemen are parochial clergymen ; they have to preach every Sunday, they have to catechise the children, they have to attend the sick. The ques tion is whether, holding the opinions they do, and interpreting Scripture as they do, they can consist ently minister to the religious wants of an English parish. Does not the relation of the clergyman to his parishioners require an indentity of belief in the main ? And, supposing the population of an ordi nary English parish were fairly put in possession of the ideological interpretation of Scripture ex pounded in these " Essays," of their theory of mira cles, their theory of prophecy, and their explana i o nmo %Atilt doctrines, can we think it would admit that.there was this identity of belief in case its own clergyman held these views P What would it think of him P Undoubtedly two persons with a very different belief may hold a common language, and converse in this language, and the one may teach and the other be taught, the one be the spiritual adviser and the other the advised, by the medium of this language; but if, as soon as the parish clergyman has shut the door of the school or cottage behind him, the unlucky discovery is made that his language has had one meaning to his parishioners and another to himself, their religious faith would feel a considerable shock. It must be admitted that this is not a desirable state of things, or even a state of things which would be tolerated supposing it were really known. We should need no Convocation and no Ecclesiastical Courts; a vicar or curate of a parish who got into the pulpit and proclaimed himself an ideological interpreter of Scripture, who held that the pro phecies were made after the events, and that mira cles were impossible, would to a certainty find his parish too hot to hold him. This is the test of his suitableness for a post. Would he venture to preach his views to his own flock in his own church ? If he did, this would be the result; but we do not be lieve that one of the writers of the Essays would, and that not from any cowardice or intentional disguise, but because he would really, when it came to the point, find that he respected the popular faith too much to attack it on its hearth, and in its own sanctuary of the parish church. It is all very well to write a book ; you are then only disputing in scholis ; you are addressing men as intellectual inquirers, not as believers; but it is a different thing to confront the countenance of natural and simple minded faith. But if this is avoided the awkward ness of the fact itself still remains, that the clergy man has a different belief from that of his parishioners. We know one " Essayist" will say that he gives his people the real kernel and essence of Chris tianity, all that their minds really take in, even when they listen to the ordinary teaching of the Church ; he will tell us that people are mistaken when they think it is this or that fact or particular tenet expressed in a particular way which is the true aliment of their souls, and that it is something deeper than this upon which they are really feeding all the time, which deeper thing the new teacher gives them, only in a purer form, and without the incrustations. But, if full credit is given him for really thinking this, is this the aspect in which English congregations regard matters of be lief? Or, rather, is not their belief essentially and vitally bound up with certain definite doctrines and attested facts, so that if the facts or the doctrines were cleared away there could be no manner of doubt what would become of the belief ? The faith of a mass of people, indeed the faith of a commu nion, the faith of a nation, is by no means a perfect thing ; its practical basis is habit and custom more than reason ; it is apt to be more loud and clamorous than it has any right from its own intrinsic life and genuineness to be; it assumes its own earnestness to be much greater than it is; it likes controversy, quarrelling, and disputing, because this excitement breeds a sort of artificial earnestness in the absence of that true seriousness which prefers a calmer atmosphere, and can stand the trying test of dull ordinary life ; it is wanting in fairness, it will not listen, it must Speak, and not always decorously ; it is abusive, it imputes motives, it calls names. But when you have summed up all the offensive charac teristics which attach to the temper of popular faith, what have you said more than that men are men ? If there is to be such a thing as a wide spread faith in the world, the faith of a church or the faith of a nation, it must and will be a faith to which such imperfections as these attach. It may be criticised then, and, indeed, it is abundantly ex- posed to criticism, but still this popular faith is, with all its faults of temper, a holy thing--it is the most sacred and valuable treasure we have, the sanctifier of society, and the bond of a human communion and fellowship which dares to look beyond the grave for its proper sphere, and links men together as spit itual and immortal beings. It is, then, an awkward prospect which we have before us, if we are to look forward now to a struggle of a class of philosophical clergy with the creed of their congregations. There are many minute distinctions of doctrine about which these congregations do not care, but there is one autho rity upon which they do stand, and that is the authority of Scripture. The Bible, with all its facts and its doctrines naturally interpreted, is undeniably the religion of Protestant England. Our clergy, then, have a considerable latitude allowed them, but any theory which brings them into collision with the Bible, and which forces them to adopt a peculiar mode of interpreting the Bible, depriving it of its ch aracter as a record of certain actual facts connected with th e f oundat i on o f our f a i t h , idealiz ing these facts, and, in short, making the Bible a totally different thing from what the common be lief Aupposes it to be —such a theory does appear to on the river, and collected the tallow at the risk of their lives, and they thought they were entitled to it. It was hard to be deprived of their hard earn ings by the police: Mr. Combe told them that they had no business with the tallow on the river ; it was no more their property than a piece of timber floating on the Thames. He should discharge those who had col lected it from the river, and the tallow would b e detained until claimed by the persons properly au thorised by the owners to receive it. Mr. Neale, who appeared for two men who had 16 cwt. of the tallow, said his client purchased it of the collectors, giving the market value for it. Mr. Combe told him they bad no right to pur chase the tallow, as they must know that the col lectors were not entitled to it. Had any of the parties who took it from the sewers been brought before him he should have dealt with them severely. The destruction of this property had been enor mous, and it could not be tolerated that the vast quantities of tallow should be appropriated by any thief who chose to lay his hands on it. Mr. Neale urged that some of it came from the river, and the parties who collected it were abating a nuisance. Mr. Combe said that was all nonsense. They cared nothing for the nuisance. They collected it for their benefit. He should not punish the pri soners this time, but the tallow must be detained until claimed by the insurance offices. Mr. Neale considered it very hard, as his clients had paid a fair value for the tallow, and did not know they were running any risk. An inspector of the M division informed his worship that bills had been posted in every avail able spot, cautioning the parties. The following is a copy :—" Notice—Any person found stealing tallow from out of the sewers, or receiving the same, knowing it to have come from the sewers, will be prosecuted according to law." Mr. Combe said that they must have been aware that they had no right to it. Late in the day a dealer in marine stores was charged with having upwards of a ton weight of the tallow in his possession. The prisoner said he had a perfect right to the tallow, as it came to him in the way of business. Mr. Combe—Then you justify the act of pur chasing stolen tallow ? The prisoner said he did not do that, but the tallow was brought to him and he bought it. Mr. Combe said he should not discharge him, but make an example of him for his impertinence. He must pay a fine of £5, or to go to prison for one month. The fine was reluctantly paid, and the tallow detained by the police. THE COMMERCIAL TREATY BET WEE. FRANCE AND ENGLAND. We have already availed ourselves of the Cus toms Report to give the public a general idea of the operation of the Commercial treaty in pro moting trade between France and England, but the document in question is too comprehensive to be dismissed with such partial notice. True it is, as the Commissioners themselves acknowledge, that the effects of the French treaty constitute the most important feature in the return, but a great deal more remains to be gathered from the figures before us. The Customs Report is nothing less than the great ledger of a nation of shopkeepers. It tells how much we have bought, and how much we have sold, what articles have been most in demand, and what customers most profitable. Besides this, it tells us how much toll has been taken on these transactions for the benefit of the Exchequer. One-third or so of the whole national revenue is furnished by the receipts from Cus toms duties, and the great problem of public finance is so to levy these indispensable funds as to offer the least possible impediment to the transaction and extension of business. The trade of the nation varies, according to cir cumstances, both in character and extent. Its ex tent may be affected by war, by panic, by reaction after extravagant speculation, or by the general state of affairs either at home or abroad. Its cha racter may be modified by the goodness or badness of a harvest, by the occurrence of special demands, or by legislation directly designed for this purpose. Last year, for instance, we bought extraordinary quantities of grain and flour in consequence of the failure of our own crops, while at the same time we purchased French clocks, French shawls, and French wines to a far greater extent than usual, owing to the removal of the impediments which former tariffs had placed in the way of such trade. It is hoped, on the other hand, that we shall sell the French people our coal and iron and cutlery in larger quantities than before, and that both nations will thus get the advantage not only of improved markets, but more intimate and amicable con nexion. These two items —one depending on the accidents of the season, and th© other produced by direct legislation—form the most interesting fea tures of the present report. We have been buy ing corn and wine to an unusual amount—corn because our harvest failed at home, and wine be cause it was thought politic to open and encourage our trade with France. As regards the revenue, the effects of these two proceedings have been very dif ferent. The increased imports of grain, on which a nominal duty is still placed, increased our Customs receipts, but the imports of wine having been at tracted by a large reduction of duty caused a con siderable loss to the Exchequer. In the year last past we sold to foreign coun tries British and Irish produce to the value in the aggregate of £135,842,817, to which must be added £29,827,836 as the value of foreign and colonial merchandise which we first bought and then sold again. This is an advance upon the year 1859, though that was a year of uncommon activity in the national trade. Our best customers were the United States, who dealt with us to the extent of £21,000,000. Then came the Hanseatic Towns, which, as agents for Germany and other countries, took our goods to the value of £10,000,000. France bought five millions' worth, and Brazil four. Among our own possessions India and Australia wets foremost with their demands—the former doing a business of £17,000,000 and the latter of £10,000,000. In these statistics the most notable point is not the character of the trade, but its amount. It had been apprehended, though the Commissioners did not share the misgiving, that some reaction would be experienced after the powerful impulse given to our trade in 1859. In 1857 we had been overtrading, and a total re turn of £146,000,000 was produced in some degree by enterprises of too speculative a character. The consequence was shown in the year following by a decline of the figures to £140,000,000, but in 1859 came an unexpected rebound. The sum total of our exports, home and colonial together, rose to £155,000,000,—an improvement, as was fancied, too great to be maintained The return before us, however, shows a fresh advance, instead of a de cline, for the two items we have given above will form a total of £165,000,000 and upwards. Turning now from our exports to our imports, or, in other words, from our sales to our purchases, we find that these transactions, which had fallen from £188,000,000 in 1857 to £165,000,000 in 1858, and again risen to £179,000,000 in 1859, have actually advanced in the present year to nearly £211,000,000. It is no matter of congratulation certainly that we should have been compelled to expend some mil lions of money in buying the corn which our own fields failed to yield, but we may reasonably rejoice over the events which have brought cheap and wholesome wines to our doors. There is one arti cle, however, which we can never grow for our selves, though our demand for it is enormous. Cotton cannot be produced at home. We must needs buy it either from foreign countries or our own dependencies, and the report shows to what extent and in what markets our purchases of this material were conducted in the yearlB6o. We bought cotton then to the value of nearly £36,000,000, and of this immense sum no less than £30,000,000 went to the United States—a sufficient proof of the mag nitude of the risk to which we have so often ad verted. In the general account, our dealings with France, Russia, and Egypt figure very p ro mi ne ntly, while India sells us almost as much as she buys from us. There appears to be no great decline in any of -our demands, unrefined sugar, hemp, silk, and brandy being the only four articles of any con sequence which we purchased to a less extent in 1860 than in 1859. Of silk we probably took as much as we could get; in sugar and hemp the de cline was not very material, while brandy is said to be always capricious in its variations. The actual amount of revenue derived from the Customs during the period under review was £23,165,764, and the actual amount of loss in curred by reductions of duties, including, however, the decline in sugar, &c., above mentioned, was £1,899,302. It will be seen that our receipts from this department still constitute about a third of the whole public income, although revenue has been repeatedly and largely sacrificed for the benefit and encouragement of trade. The Customs, in fact, afford excellent ground for our financiers to work upon. It is possible, as has been often shown, to reduce duties, and yet, by increased consumption, to obtain as large a revenue as before, so that everybody gains and nobody loses. It is expected that the present loss upon the wine duties may be at least partially compensated in this way, though the treaty was framed rather with political aims than on financial principles. The real object of the Convention was solo knit France and England to gether that the chances of quarrel, and, with them, the cost of national armaments, might be perma nently diminished. It was no b a d investment to sacrifice a million for such purpo se as th i s. Whether the lighter wines of France Will ever be largely consumed in this country can be matter of conjec ture only, but the liberation of trade from its shackles must at least have the effect of enabEng the two countries to find out each other's aptitudes and wants. France will very soon. learn what it is best to buy from England, and what to manufac ture at home, and we, it seems, have already disco vered that French watches and French shawls are very desirable articles indeed. Next year's report will give us ampler evidence , of the operation of the treaty, but enough has already been shown to prove that the duties recently remove d did rea ll y ac t a s barriers to a natural and beneficial trade.—Times.
