The Ventilation and Lighting by Joust LESLIE, Esq., maintains an Equal and Cool Temperature in the Hot'est Weather. A BA ND of MUSIC under the direction of Mr. WAUD of the Royal Italian Opera, Mr. James said he desired the Cardinal to be sworn. Serjeant Shee said, the Court had decided that the Cardinal could not be examined as a witness, and there fore ought not to be sworn. The Chief Baron asked what reason there could be for administering the oath, when he had ruled that the Car. dinal could not be examined ? _ _ _ THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Royal Albert's lower rigging is being rattlined down. Several smart able seamen and petty officers have entered for her during the past week, all of whom have entered for continuous service. The general re quest of these men on entering is, that they shall have six weeks' leave, as they say by that time she will be rigged and all blacked down ; they thereby get out of all the dirty work. As good A.B.'s are not easy to pro cure, they generally get their request complied with. The Centurion, 80, is ordered to be fitted with a screw propeller; she will be placed in the Devonport dockyard to-day. " Yesterday arrived from Baltschik the Cambria arid the Emperor steamers, bringing dates to the Ist inst. The fleet had returned from its cruise eff Sebastopol, which place it is resolved on attacking immediately. "The Fury, with Sir G. Browne on board, ran into the harbour of the citadel and steamed round it. She was fired at by the forts and hulled by 5 or G shot only, when she returned to the fleet outside. The Russians did not follow her, or they would have been warmly re ceived. Mr. James said, at all events he was entitled to claim the right to have Cardinal Wiseman sworn, and, what was more, he should ask for his committal if he refused to take the oath. It had been done only a few days, ago in the case of a poor woman, upon another circuit. Serjeant Shee said, surely these observations mie•ht be spared. The question of committal could not arise until there was a refusual to do something that was ordered to be done by the Court. The Chief Baron having decided that the oath should not be administered, the Cardinal left the court. Dr. Thomas Grant was then examined. He said—l am the Roman Catholic Bishop of St. George's, South wark. I know the defendant, and am on intimate terms with him. I remember going to Paris upon the subject of this libel, but I don't remember having had any ooh versation with the defendant relating to it. I had it conversation with a gentleman belonging to the Univers journal, but he did not give me any manuscript. lam quite sure the defendant never told me that he wrote thei letter signed '.'Nicholas, Cardinal Wiseman," which , is the subject of the present action. The Rev. George Spencer, known as Father Ignatitii, was the next witness. He said—l am intimately ac quainted with Cardinal Wiseman, but I don't see much of him. I remember reading the letter in the Catholic Standard, and I had a few words with the Cardinal upon the subject. All I can remember that he said was, that he had reason to know that Boyle had Gam / municated the article that appeared in the Ami 41. e 1. 4 Religion. He did not say a word about the authorship of the letter. NOTICE. L IVES of the QUEENS of ENGLAND.

" The reports current as to the loss of the Sampson steamer, or her capture, are not confirmed. She is actually in dock at Constantinople, having been ashore on the coast of Circassia. She is not much injured, but requires a thorough overhaul and to be caulked. "On Sunday last, as the steamer . Cambria had come to an anchor, a garrison order was published, ordering the 68th Light Infantry to prepare for immediate .em barkation. The regiment had long been prepared for departure, and as early as 6 o'clock a.m. of the following day the boats with baggage were alongside, and by 4 o'clock the embarkation of the men was completed.

The following summary of Indian . affairs is ex tracted from the Bombay Times of - Jury 1 : The line of policy pursued by Lord Dalhousie in regard to Pegu seems, so far. as we can judge as yet, to hove been eminently successful, for the Court of Ava no longer seems disposed to engage in new conflicts; and dacoity, to judge from the silence of correspondents in regard to it, is almost entirely put down. In fact, the news from Bur mah has ceased to excite much interest, and from Rangoon we receive nothing of greater importance than ordinary out-stations usually afford. Corre spondents do little more than tell us of the way in which the anniversary of her Majesty's birthday was observed, and of the toasts which were drunk to Sir Charles Napier and the Baltic-fleet. - Prom Cabool alone intelligence of interest con tinues to arrive, but of such an uncertain kind as to whet rather than satisfy the appetite. The quarrel which we noticed in our last summary be tween Dost Mahomed and the Candahar chiefs had turned out to be 'one of little importance, for the claim to the possession of Khelat-i-G-hilzie had only been made at the instigation of - the Persians, and was not likely to be insisted ou by the chiefs. It . s remarkable, however, as the Delhi Gazette ob serves, that the paramount authority of the Dost :las remained undisputed until the present time, when the symptoms of resistance to it may be na turally attributed to the intrigues of Russia and Persia. A letter from Cabool of the 19th of May states that the son of Mebrab Khan Belooch had visited Shikarpoor, and had arranged with the English authorities to be permitted to build stations in the Bolan pass. There had been reports that an English officer was engaged at :Candahar in drilling the infantry; which possibly may have had some foundation - in fact, for a few months ago the Candahar chiefs had agents in Bombay trying to secure the services of some European capable of conducting military 'operations. News had arrived from Balkh to the effect that the Persians have stationed themselves in Merw with a powerful force, and that the Rus sian army had possessed itself of Ak Miszid, a de pendency of Hoorgunj. The Czar was reported to have given back to Persia territories taken in former years, and the Shah was supposed to be about to -move on Bagdad on the one side, and on Heerat on the other. In a Cabool letter of the 24th of IVlay it is stated that the Russian forces had arrived at Kokan, and had taken poss ess i on of that fortress, much to- the alarm of the King of Bokbara. It was believed at Cabool that a British officer, ac companied by 100 horsemen, was about to visit that place,' in order to conclude a treaty with Dost Mahomed, but the news was not at all •acceptable to the people, who feared that an English alliance would only serve to increase the Dost's tyranny. The people .are stated to be ill-disposed towards Dost Mahomed, . and would gladly hail Russians, Persians, or English, if by doing so they could rid themselves of his tyrannical Government. A long document is g iven by the Delhi Ga z ette, p ro f ess i ng to be a copy ofa letter received by the Dost on the Bth of May, from his confidential agent at Heerat, which gives a lively picture of the intrigues now going on in Central Asia. The most remarkable fact to be gathered from it is the small repute in which British diplomacy stands at present in Central Asia. Major Jacob had returned to Jacobabad from his visit to the camp of Khelat. He met his High ness at Mustoong, about seventy miles north of Khelat. The Major was much pleased with his visit and its results. He reports the country about Mustoong to be on e o f the finest parts about Beloochistan, and he met with no obstacles from 'marauders in the Bolan pass. The commissioner at Nangpore had informed the supreme Government that the regiments composing the subsiaiary force at that place might be dispensed with, if he be permitted to officer the late Rajah's troops after the model of the Nizam's contingent. fie had paid high compliments to the soldiers in 'the Rajah's regiments, and had strongly stated his opinion that, if properly officered, they would prove highly serviceable. The electric telegraph, though liable to interrup tions during the monsoon, has been conveying Government messages between Bombay and Cal cutta ; but owing, we suppose, to the dearth of general news of importance at the former of these places, it has brought no intelligente for the use of the Bombay press. The Governor-General had shown no disposition of being about to make a move. Ho had appointed a day for humiliation and prayer, in connection with the Russian war. It i 4 confidently stated in Calcutta that Lord Dal liousio intends returning home in January next. The Calcutta papers had been rash iu informing the public that Mr. Wylie had been chosen to be secre tary to the Legislative Council of India. Mr. Morgan, of the Calcutta bar, has been appointed to the office, at a salary of 2,500 rupees per month. Experimental trains are to commence running upon the Bengal Railway about the middle of July, and it is to be overfed in the beginning of August by Lord Dalhousie. Letters from Poorie of the sth instant announce that the concourse of pilgrims this year at the shrine of Juggernath had been unusually great, and that the consequent scarcity and high price of food had produced much suffering. Hundreds of p ilgrims had been weakened from want of food, and were lying in the streets awaiting certain death. From Moorshedabad we learn that Amanally Khan had been expelled from the palace, agreeably to the expressed wish of the Governor-General, and the other eunuchs implicated in a case of murder had shared the same fate. From Madras the only items of interesting news we can gather are, that the railroad is to be laid down on the cheap system advocated by Colonel Cotton, and is not expected to cost more than 25,000 rupees per mile, and that the works on the Godavery were being vigorously carried on. It is expected that the railway will be finished by great exertions in the beginning of 1850. Among the obituaries is the death, at Kamptee, of Lieutenant- Colonel William Bremmer, of the 41st Regiment Native Infantry. The death of Mr. Liddell, for many years coroner of Madras, has been an nounced. account in our two last summaries, s Indian papers The riots at Singapore, of which of the .n we gave an have called forth interestin g remar k s i n v arious onChinese. th e peculiar Th e Er a i n e d nd en of er ii g ,d energetic character after noticing how many o f our se ttl emen t s t h ey h ave obtained a monopoly of th e re t a il t ra d e, handicraft, and agri culture, r emar k e d th at, " w i th all our undou b ted Superiority in energy, courage, and civilisation, we have failed in the art of governing Chinese." The secret societies especially have been pointed out as interfering with the legitimate influence which our authorities ought to have. In Bombay nothing has been stirring. The go vernor has taken up his monsoon residence near Poonah. The preliminary investigation before the senior magistrate of police in reference to the large deficiency —nearly three lacs of rupees —in the Aden treasury has been closed, and the papers are under consideration preparatory to the committal of the case for trial at the ensuing criminal sessions. The libel for divorce instituted by Mr. Hadow against his wife has resulted in judgment having been pronounced against the impugnant. The Commercial Bank of India has declared a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th of July, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. Very little rain has fallen as y e t, b ut in the last few days showers have been more frequent. The markets are dull. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM JUNE 20 TO JUNE 30, 1854. . _ We have little change to note in the money market for the ten days that have elapsed since the date of our last report. Money is getting easier, but is not yet abundant in the Bazaar. Government securities have continued to droop, and are now scarcely saleable at 97 for Four per Cent. Company's paper and 103 for Sicca notes. Some surprise has been excited by the Commer cial Bank declaring a dividend for the half-year just ended at the rate of only 6 per cent, per annum, and shares have in consequence declined to 18 per cent. pre mium ex div., with few buyers at that rate. In shares of the other joint stock concerns we note no change, ex cept in those of the Oriental Bank Corporation, which have advanced as high as 87 to 90 per cent. premium. Cotton Piece Goods,—The interval since our last over_ land summary extends over, so brief a space of time that there ie little to be said in the Nay of business—indeed, as is usual at this season, when our rains have set in, transactions are of a very. limited kind, and 'generally confined to local requirements. Some inouiry (assi,ithing a speculative nature) for goods "to arrive" has existed. For immediate delivery dealers will not purchase,andprices cannot, therefore, be taken as any indication of the state of the market, prospects for which entirely' depend upon the development of the monsoon, which burst in a mild form on the 7th current, and such has been its character up to within the last two days. Rain has fallen in such moderate quantities and at such intervals as to cause some uneasiness, even at this early stage of its pi t:wing a seasonable one, but we have some hopes of it turning out favourably. Cochineal —Some inquiry has existed for shipment to China, and a go )d deal of inferior has been thus disposed of, which has given a firmer tone to the market. Cotton Wool—The market has continued veryinac tire, and holders having stored their stock, are now inde pendent.of selling, and are shipping freely to China on their own account, and trifling lots to Great Britain. Prices, therefore, are much about the same. ' Opium—The receipt of the China letters on the morning of the 29th inst., has created considerable ex citement in the Bazaar (assumi ng th e f orm o f gam bl i ng), and prices have adv ance d to Rs. 912 for Indore, 925 for Mundeisir, per chest. Th e steamer to-day will take be tween 1,500 and 1,600 c h ests, mostly on importers ' own account. Exchange on London has fluctuated a good deal since last mail, and supplies of bills on the spot having been absorbed by the mail of the - 20th current, few were offering for this indirect opportunity, and rates declined to . 2s old for good local credits, and .Bank 2s 24 six months' sight. The arrival, however, of the China steamer, bringing two mails, through the wreck of the Douro, has relieved the market, .and given rates an up ward tendency. Barings' credits have been done at 2s Old six months' sight, which may be. taken as the clq,sing rate of the day. D ocumen t bill s are few, and may be quoted nominally at 2s -00, but have been done at 2s 5-16 d to 2s ogd six months' sight. .0n China, .Rs. 237 to 239 per $lOO, sixty days' sight. On Calcutta, Rs. 98 per Rs. 100, same usance. Tonnage—The supply of tonnage is abundant for ,pre sent wants, and owing to the small shipments'of pro duce to Great Britain rates are slightly lower, 4/. 2s 6d .to Si. per ton for cotton and seeds being the outside rates of the day. For China, 19 to 20 re. per candy, ac cording to the size of the vessel, but are not quite so steady since the news from China came to hand. We published the Calcutta and China news last week. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SIINDA.Y EVENING. The Niagara arrived this afternoon, with dates from New York to the 3d, and Boston, to the 2d inst. She brings $253,699 in specie.

Money to-day is easy, and the rate of interest on call is from 5 to 6 per cent. NEW ORLEANS, AUGUST 1. The news by last steamer has not affected the market, which is reported to-day as dull. WASHINGTON, AUGUST 2. In Executive Session, yesterday. the reciprocity treaty was debated for three hours, many amend ments were proposed and rejected, and the treaty was reported to the Session and engrossed. It will be confirmed to-day without further debate. There is little doubt but that the house will finally agree to the Senate's amendments to the River and Harbour Bill. -It will probably be dis posed of to-day. The house has reduced the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill to $13,000,000, and resolute efforts will be made to defeat it altogether. EVENING. The Reciprocity Bill 'was to-day ratified by the Senate. Arrived, the New York, the Indiana, the Hermann, and Wendel. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. The United States mail steamer, St. Louis (which replaces the Franklin), Asa Eldridge, com mander, arrived at Cowes, yesterday, at 6 a.m., having left New.

The session of Congress was within four days of its close, and as no progress had been made with theireciprocity treaty (Canada) fears were entertained that it would not be sanctioned this session. Telegraphic reports state that New Orleans was very healthy on the 28th ult. Baltimore was, on the 30th, exempt from cholera. " Eleven of the pear gormandisers at the alms house, says the New York Herald, are now dead ; all died with choleratic symptoms. The other inmates are as healthy as usual." The same paper publishes a message from Philadelphia of the 30th, stating that four members of one family were interred that after noon, who died from cholera on Saturday and Fri- day--father, mother, and two sons. Three children survived, two of whom are very sick. At Boston the deaths were 22 in the last week reported on. Respecting the destruction of Greytown, the New York Herald says It is reported that Marcy on Saturday was very ex plicit in his declaration s to his friends in Congress, that none of the responsibility of the instructions to Captain Hollins rested on him. It is, however, reported with equal positiv eness , on the other hand, that so far from objecting to them in cabinet council, he directly ap proved of them. A. curious fact has leaked out as to Mr. Solon Borland while at San Juan: It is asserted that he organised a militarY force to maintain the honour of the United States, concentrated in his person, as well as for his self-protection, and paid them about 12,000 dols., for which he drew on the government, but the draft has not yet been paid. Probably this amount is included in the 24,G00 dole. dem anded by zens of San Juan. Capt. Hollins of the citi- BRAZILS AND TilE PLATE. SOUTHAMPTON AUG 12. 7 AUG.

It had also ordered 60,000 patacoons to be coined . A Brazilian force of 5,000 men still . remained in the republic, which might be said to be in the enjoyment of profound peace. The Government was generally o b eyed and accredited, and great hopes at length were enter tained of a peaceful and prosperous f u t ure. From Rio we have nothing important to com municate. Two Russian merchant vessels were offered at auctionion the 10th in the E xc h ange, but found no bidders. This was in consequence of the Jornal do Comercio having published an article some days previously, stating that the sale of Rus sian vessels must have been made before the de claration of war, to exempt them from ca pture ; therefore they will probably be broken up or al lowed to rot in harbour. . _ Since our last by Lusitania about 30,000 bags of coffee have been sold at our quotations, except the finer qualities, in which an advance of 200 re's per arroba has been obtained. Good coffees are much looked for, and we expect to see them much higher, but the reverse will be the case with the great bulk of our actual stock (about 40,000 bags). Arrivals are very moderate. Exchange may be quoted firm at 261 d. Since the Lusitania about 160,0001. have been passed. Freights are higher on account of the large pur chases of coffee. We quote as follows : MONEY, AND SHARE MARKET. — Exchange on London, 26id., firm ; ditto Paris, 365 to 370 ; ditto Hamburg, 670 to 675 ; Six per Cent.

The crew of the Spiteful was paid in advance at Woolwich •by the pay clerks of the Admiralty, at twelve o'clock on Friday. On Saturday last the Hornet steam-sloop got up steam and proceeded down the Swin for trial of her machinery. It' appeared throughout to ,act well. The great and serious fault appears to be the inefficiency of her boilers to generate steam enough to keep her up to her,regular working maximum. His Netherland Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-corvette Curacoa, two lieutenants, Commander De Bronno, three days from Helvoetaluys, for.Surinam, entered Plymouth Sound yesterday morning to obtain a supply of fuel. Die Mauritius steam-transport, now fitting at South amptOn, has been taken up to convey the 34th Regiment from Portsmouth. to Corfu. She is to call at Queen. - stown to embark a detachment of the 57th for the same destination. She will afterwards convey the whole of the 57th Regiment to the seat of war in Turkey.

Berkeley, C. 8., First Naval on Lord Fri dof the Admir a lt y , v i sited Woolwich Dockyard ay afternoon to inspect the Arrow screw despatch gun -b oat and the other boats of the same olass now in progress of being fitted for sea at Wool wich. The Arrow, Lieutenant-Commander Jolliffe, was taken ou t of the basin the same afternoon, and. tried , down the river for a short distance to as• certain her speed, which was considered, in the absence of a fair trial, to be about eleven knots with the tide, and about nitre and-a-half knots against tide. The Arrow was taken into the basin again on Saturday afternoon. It would be judicious to try the new powerful oval 68- pounder guns on Lancaster's principle with live shells, between the Nore and Mouse Lights, to ascertain the effect on the vessel when a projectile weighing about 1001bs. is discharged from a large gun weighing 95 cwt., at a high angle, with a charge of 121bs. of powder, to carry the shell a distance of 5,000 yards. The Wrangler, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieut. Commander Risk, is the next farthest advanced of the gun-boats. She is now in one of the east docks, and has completed the coppering of her bottom, and her masts have been put in and the rigging put up, and the sails bent. The advanced state of these two gun-boats is owing to the crew of the Myrmidon being turned over to the Arrow, and the. crew of the Tartarus to the Wrangler. The Beagle, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieute nant-Commander Hore, is in the basin at Woolwich, under the shears, having her masts put in. The Lynx, screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant- Commander Luce, is in one of the east docks, and has completed putting the copper on her bottom. DEPARTURE OF THE HARBINGER. The hired screw steamer Harbinger having embarked Rear-Admiral the Hon. Montagu Stopford and Com mander Gordon, and specie valued at 100,0001 ., sa il e d from Plymouth for the Black Sea on Friday evening. MILITARY. • The 18th Royal Irish Infantry are under orders to relieve the 46th, now in garrison at Windsor. The first detachment of the 18th are expected, to march from the barracks at Canterbury either this day or to-morrow. According to present arrangements, the following changes will take place on the Ist of next month in the household brigade :—The Ist and 2d battalion of Grenadiers, from St. George's and Portman-street bar racks to the Wellington barracks, St. James's Park, and Ist battalion occupying Buckingham Palace and doing duty at the Magazine, Hyde Park ; the 2d battalion of Coldstreams, from Wellington to Portman-street bar racks ; and the 2d battalion of Fusiliers, from Wellington to St. George's barracks. A great many men have volunteered from the 48th Foot to join the 57th, under orders for Turkey. SERJEANTS' REDUCED GOOD-CONDUCT PAY. Admiralty, July 28, 1854. My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty are pleased to direct with reference to the regulation for good-conduct pay, dated 16th Jan., 1849, that from and after the Ist June, 1851, any serjeant, or staff-serjeant of the Royal Marines, who shall be reduced from that rank, shall be entitled to the same privileges in regard to the good-con duct badge and pay as if his previous service had been wholly rendered in an inferior rank, subject, however, to the forfeiture of one penny a day for ono year from such good-conduct pay for the offence for which he has been red übed. Provided always that such serjeant has not been sen tenced by court-martial to forfeit all or any part of the good•conduct pay which may thus occur from his former service. By command of their lordships. J. PARKER, To all Commanders-in-Chief, Captains, Commanders, and Commanding Officers of her Majesty's ships and vessels. 111ISC ELLANEOUS. The Fairy Royal steam-yacht, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, embarked the Queen and Court in Portsmouth harbour on Saturday evening at seven o'clock, on arrival from London, and conveyed them to Osborne under the usual salutes and ceremonies. By the death of Rear-Admiral Charles Hope in Frande, Commodore Henry Eden, just appointed Super intendent of Devonport Dockyard, becomes Rear- Admiral of the Blue, and Captains Patton and Ait chison become retired Rear-Admirals. An appointment as Naval Aide-de-Camp to the Queen is thus at the dis posal of the Admiralty. On Saturday Sir J. Graham was sufficiently recovered from his recent indisposition to • attend the Board of Admiralty. Assistant-Surgeon Samuel Weaver (1854) has been appointed to the Prince Regent, 90, serving in the Baltic. An experiment is to be tried on board the steam-ves sels' coal depot here, for discharging the cargoes from the screw steam 'colliers by machinery for the supply of her Majesty's steam-ships. FALMOUTH, Saturday.—The Polar Star troop-ship, Captain Walker, from London for New Zealand, has put in, owing to contrary winds. THE PARAGUAYAN NAVY.—On Tuesday last the Para guayan war-steamer Jacuare was launched from the yard of Mr. Thompson, in the River Thames. She is a paddle-wheel steamer, on the same lines as the Ban shee, Government despatch-boat, of 500 tons burden, and 140-horse power. She is to mount two pivot guns, 32-pounders, and four 24-pounder carronades. She is 166 feet long, and 23 feet beam, and will carry 100 men as a crew. The son of President Lopez is now in this country to arrange a commercial treaty, which will open up the resources cf this splendid min-. try. The Paraguayan Government is also building a small flotilla for the protection of their trade.

HOME CIRCIIIT.—GUILDFORD, AUGUST 12. (Before the Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) BOYLE V. WISEMAN. The plaintiff in this action was a Catholic priest, and the defendant was Cardinal Wiseman. The action was brought to recover damages for a libel alleged to have been published by the defendant. The only plea upon the record was one of " Not Guilty." The damages were laid at 10,0001. Mr. James, in opening the case, said, that the plaintiff in this action was Mr, Richard Boyle, and the defendant was Nicholas, Cardinal Wiseman. The plaintiff for some time had filled the office of a Roman Catholic priest in this country, and the present action was brought to re cover damages from Cardinal Wiseman for having pub lished a series of false and malicious libels concerning him—libels of a nature calculated to entirely ruin and destroy him, and for which, as it appeared to him, there was not the slightest foundation. These libels had been publi , hed in a French paper called the Univers, also in the Tablet, and in the Catholic Standard. They had been circulated in France, over the whole of the, continent, and had reached the ears of the Pope in Rome, having been also published in a newspaper which he was informed was regarded with especial favour by his Holiness. There was no pretence for a justification, and he could prove the statements were untrue, and not only untrue, but, that they w ere a l so untrue to the knowledge of the Cardinal ; that the facts referred to had been long before cleared up to the knowledge of the Cardinal, who, notwithstanding, had ventured to bring forward charges which he knew were without founda tion, for no other object, as it appeared to him, than to utterly crush and destroy the unfortunate plaintiff. The learned counsel then read the libel which formed the subject of the action. It was a translation of a letter originally addressed to the Univers, and the material portions were the following : "Yon quote in your article of May 7 a passage on the Anti de la Religion, which seems to give the key to M. Cognat's production. In it is drawn the portrait of a priest, pious and zealous, who had grown gray in the service of the altar, who perhaps had laid the fi rs t foun dation of his church, receiving all at once a notice con veyed in a simple note that he had ceased to be pastor of his flock. He was thanked in the most flattering terms for the services which he had rendered, and at the same time condemned in his declining years to languish in the depth of distress. Perhaps he was fortdtsate enough to find the means of placing himself during the week in some office in the quality of clerk : then, when Sunday came, he would reappear at the altar to celebrate the holy mysteries. This last circumstance de signates the individual in question in as clear a manner as if his name were uttered. There is here but one single priest in that position ; that is to say, who is clerk in an office all the week and who ascends the altar on Sunday. If a priest, employed in a commercial house in Paris, offered himself to give us details on the character of the French Episcopate, I think that, before accepting all that he would say to us, we should find it opportune to ask for some information about him at the secretariat of his dioces e. Let us suppose that we look at the details given, and that the result of them is to inform us that the priest who presents himself, or who is presented to the public, as the victim of episcopal tyranny and op pression, was formerly a member of a religious society, from which he was expelled ; that he was kindly given occupation in a diocese, but he was never incorporated in it ; that, instead of having grown gray in the service of the altars and of having founded a church, he was only employed for some years, and that it was in the quality of curate or assistant priest. If it were added, that it became necessary to fix a day, when his faculties were withdrawn from him, and when his place was filled up, that he refused to give up to his successor the presbytery through which was the entrance to the church, the sacristy, and the confessionals, pretending that the late bishop had granted to him that house in full property, without rent to pay (which is contrary to the titles of property); that the priest then advertised furni,hed apartments to let, and that it was not till after many months, by means of legal prosecu tion and considerable expense, that possession could be taken of the presbytery. . . . :—what would not that man have to answer to God and to the church for scan dal caused, and for calumnies propagated, on such an authority." Mr. James proceeded.—This was the libel complained of, and he would show the jury presently why it was calcu -I,ted to be so utterly ruinous to any man in the position of a Roman C,tholic priest. The learned counsel hav ing concluded a very powerful address, The Rev. Mr. Ivors was then called as a witness. He said— I am a Roman Catholic priest, and the in cumbent of the chapel of St. Alexis, Kentish-town. I remember seeing an article in the Univers of the 23d of May, signed " N , Cardinal Wiseman." The Univers is the organ of the Ultramontane, and un-English, and unconstitutional party. The articles I wrote were upon the subject of English Roman Catholic affairs. They appeared in the paper with the signature of the " Abb6 Cognat." I went to Paris on the 27th of July last upon the subject of the libel, and with the intention to find out the author. , I had heard that the Abbe Cognat had written to the Cardinal, and that he had sent a reply, and'l saw a letter in the possession of the Abb6 which I believe was in the Cardinal's handwriting. Mr. James—Did you ask the Abbci to give you that letter ? Witness—l did, but he refused to do so. I read the letter, and am acquainted with the contents. Mr. James submitted that, under these circumstances, he was entitled to give secondary evidence of the con tents of the letter. Mr. James said, here was a letter written by . 1 a de fendant to a person abroad, who refused to give %h up. He contended that they were in just th e samepo.si as if givethed a eleetotoerabry evidence bad e b v e i enl o o e f st o , andits contents.

Sergeant Shee said that his learned friend must know very well that Cardinal Wiseman could not be exa mined. Mr. James said he believed he bad a clear right to examine him, and he should have the Cardinal called on his subpiena. Sergeant Shee said, it appeared to him that his learned freind had no right to call upon the Cardinal to appear as a witness. The Chief Baron said, he could only take notice of the issue between the parties, and it appeared to him there could be only one object in calling the defendant, and he did not feel called upon to go through the cere mony of having the Cardinal placed in the witness•box, where, in his opinion, lie would be clearly entitled to refuse to answer,any question that might tend to crimi nate himself, and therefore could not be examined as a witness. Mr. James said, he excepted to his Lordship's ruling, and he should certainly insist on having the Cardinal called upon his subpasna, and then the question be rtried in another shape. the Crier of the Court accordingly c alled upon Mr. F. Lucas, M.P., was next examined—l am the editor of the Tablet, but I know nothing of the letter in question, and I have never read it. I have no manu script of it, and I know nothing about it. He went on to say that, in obedience to the subpwna he had received, he had written to Dublin to request that the manuscript of the letter might be sent to him, and he had received the roll of paper in reply which he now produced and handed to the learned counsel. . . Mr. James, having looked at the manuscript, gave it back to witness, and asked him whose writing it was ? Mr. Lucas replied that it was the writing of a Mr. Ormsby, who was connected with the establishment. He added that lie had had some conversation with the Cardinal upon the subject of the letter at his house, and although he could not recollect exactly what it was, his impression was - The Chief Baron said, the witness must not state hii impressions. Examination continued—Witness certainly under stood that the Cardinal had written a letter, and that it referred in some way to Boyle. He did not know, how ever, what letter was referred to. He should say that the letter had relation to Boyle, but not referring to any attack that had been made upon him. The plaintiff was then called and sworn, and Mr. James was about to examine him, when Serjeant Shee interposed, and said that, unless his learned friend could carry the evidence of publication further than he had, he should submit there was nothing to go to the jury. The Chief Baron—There is clearly not sufficient evi dence of publication to go to the jury, and if no more evidence on that point is to be offered, in my opinion, there is an end of the case. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. PROVING TOO MUCH. Stonor ! Lawley ! ! O'Flaherty ! ! To what are we mounting up ? In this ratio of progression, what will be the fourth ? And the worse the appointment is, the more blameless the Minister concerned is in making it. There was some little confession of error in the case of Mr. Stonor, but the choice of Mr. Lawley was fault less, and as for Mr. O'Flaherty, Mr. Gladstone shows moat clearly that if he had to do the thing over again he could not do better. The testimonials were irresistible. It does not even now seem to occur to the Chancellor of the Exchequer that the testimonials, irresistible as they were, were bad. If a tithe of what is alleged be true, proceedings ought to be taken against the authors of the testimonials, for the offence of givi a false character. But unhappily there is not this redss in the case of public servants. _ It is much to be lamented that this Ministry is always so very much in the right. Cesar does never wrong without just cause. Bad things are done with the very best motive and the very best judgment. If faults in either repent bad been admitted, hope might be enter tained for the future ; but as everything has been done just as it ought to have been done, but only with the most unlucky results, there may be repetitions of the same miscarriage by the same blameless process, with out end. As these accidents happen when Ministers mean so well, who can say what would happen if they tried not to be so very good ? As they do not with the most care ful aim hit the mark, suppose they were to make the experiment of a random shot now and then. But if that be asking too much of a Cabinet of Catoes, let them at least mistrust the best testimonials. Wh a t, testimonials the Tartuffe would have produced before hie final exposure ! To a certain class of persons, character is a stock in trade, to be turned into cash or money's worth. And there is this fallacy in accepting reports of character, that a sort of character passes in the society which calls itself par excellence good, which will not pass with the public; which has not the same indulgence or the same set-offs to influence its judgments. This is strikingly apparent in the fact that men who have utterly lost character with the pahlle,• are nevertheless received and petted as usual in " good society ;" their faults or vices being cond emne d i n cons i deration of their amusing qualities, or the more substantial merits of their casks and wine merchants. If 'the public itiould be diverted by these folks, or fed by them, the public might be as forgiving or as tolerant as the great world ; but that cannot be. After all, what is a testimonial but an ad vertisement, and what is an advertisement but a testi monial ? In the columns of the Times you read of a thousand excellencies, but you say the offers are too good, or, with the French, la mariee est trop belle. The Chancellor of the Exchequer must discount his testimo nials if he would avoid another O'Flaherty affair. By-the-bye, we are glad to see the 0 before the name, because it distinguishes the family from another race of Flahertys who properly should have prefixed the 0, but of the head of whom Jekyll said, that he had taken the 0 from the beginning of his name and clapped it to the end of his income.—Examiner.
