------- duty of the State, while leaving parents and their spiritual guides free to instruct children in their pe culiar religious tenets, to ensure to the children such a development of their judgment and reasoning powers as will enable them in mature years to choose among the D omerous creeds whose contending claims divide society. The undertaking no doubt is difficult. The priests and devotees of all sects oppose it. The congregations re paesented by Mr. Baines are as hostile to it as the Synod of Thnrles, or the Rev. Mr. Dennison. But their oppo sition must be defied and overcome, if common sense, sound manly morality, and true spiritual religion are to have fair play. And we believe the time has come w hen a Government clear-sighted enough to see its duty, a nd courageous enough to undertake it, would be zea lously and effectively supported by an overwhelming ma jority of the community.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC• It was again alluded to in the Royal Speech at the commencement of the present session. It seemed scarcely second even to the Papal aggression, and the public mind was wrought to the highest pitch of expectation as to the Chancery reform that should purify the " Augean stable" from the filth accumulated during successive centuries, and which had caused the Court itself to become a bye-word and reproach— "to stink in the nostrils" of the British people. Her MAJESTY said— We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays (one of the organs of the Elys6e) con tains the following announcement:— " It is affirmed that a Ministry, of which M. Odilon Barret will be the head, and of which certain members of different fractions of the majority will form part, is nearly formed, and that the Moniteur of Monday will contain the names of the new Ministers." It is said that the PRESIDENT eas been compelled by M. ODILON BARROT to give way, and that neither M. BAROEHE nor M. ACHILE FOULD will be members of the new Ministry. The Sic/e declares that the Legitimatist leaderahave received orders from the Count DE CHAMBORD to op pose any attempt to prolong the powers of the PRE SIDENT. _ _ - " The administration of justice in the several de partments of law and equity will, no doubt, receive the serious attention of Parliament, and I feel confi dent that the measures that will be submitted to you with a view of improving that administration, will be discussed with that mature deliberation which impor tant changes in the highest court of judicature in the kingdom imperatively demand." Well, at length the precious bantling has been brought to light, the mountains have been safely de livered, and we venture to say a more ridiculous abortion (the PRECIOUS BUDGET only excepted) has never appeared to disappoint the reasonable anticipa tions of the community. Not one of the evils that have been so loudly and so justly complained of are removed, or even rendered in any degree more toler able. The only one of the burdens that pressed so heavily on the Lord Chancellor as to render it almost impossible that any merely mortal man could get through the multifarious avo cations from which he is to be relieved, is the dispensation of the ecclesiastical patronage, which the Premier, with a disinterestedness worthy of the highest praise, has kindly taken upon his own shoul ders. This must have been " the last straw that broke the camel's back !"—the labour which it was imposssible to get through ! l How many weary hours must have been occupied in conning over the qualifications of the clerical claimants for the loaves and fishes! What anxious consideration must have been applied to the bestowing of the prizes on the most competent candidates ! And yet, strange to say, we never heard of a keeper of the royal conscience complaining of overtoil in that branch of his duties, nor was it in that department that heavy arrears were allowed to accumulate. No, the judgments there at least were given without procrastination ; and we are bound to say, generally speaking, with sufficient im partiality, so soon as the clerical friends and relatives of the Lord Chancellor for the time being, were pro vided for. Now, however, they are to be handed over to the Prime Minister, to be distributed by the " pa tronage Secretary of the Treasury," it being found that " the whipper-in" has not sufficient sugar-plums at his disposal to satisfy the independent representatives of the people, who, having purchased their constituencies by bribery and corruption, are inclined to make the most they can of their bargains. In this respect we must say, that bad as it was to leave the matter in the hands of the Lord Chancel lor it will be far worse to transfer it to the Treasury. Why, we ask, should not the recommendation of the Committee on Official Salaries have been at. On Saturday the Legislative Assembly decided by a majority of 44 that the proposition of M. De RAINIE and Colonel LABORDE on the subject of the construction of the Paris and Avignon Railway should be referred to a Select Committee. This decision is regarded as a victory by thoe who advocate the con struction and working of railways by the State, in stead of leaving them to private enterprise. The Committee of Initiation has reported against the proposition of M. PASCAL DUPRAT for allowing all journals to be sold i❑ the public streets, and in favour of the proposition of M. BAzE for absolutely prohibiting the sale in the streets of all political journals. Aberdeen.. •• •• •• Amborgate, Nottingham, Boston, & E.

We hope that this part of the project will be indignantly re jected, and that if the recommendation of the Com mittee is to be slighted, matters may be permitted to remain in state quo, and not be rendered far worse than at present, by the transfer of the patronage from the LORD CHANCELLOR to the Patronage Secre tary of the Treasury.

Practically, it is nothing but putting the Great Seal into Commission, a matter which was so properly ob jected to last year, with the proviso that two of the three Commissioners at least must be present in every case. How, we ask, is the Master of the Rolls to be spared from his own Court ? Are not there considerable arrears already in consequence of his necessary attendance on the judicial branch of the Privy Council, and what may be anticipated when the greater part of his time is to be expended in assisting or acting as substitute for the Lord Chan cellor ? Again, where is the common law judge to be captured while the circuits are going on ? Three or four months are thus occupied when no such assist ance could be obtained, the town judge being fully occupied at Sergeant's Inn. There is also the un questionable evil arising from the constant change in one of the chief judges, and the possibility of the two who must sit, differing in opinion, and the proceedings thus becoming abortive. We think we have said enough to show that the Bill will not answer in its present shape, that it will be by no means an amelioration of the existing sys.• tem. There will be still the junction of the judicial and political functions, the appeal from the Chan cellor, aided, and assisted by, the . Master of the Rolls and a Judge, to the Lord Chan cellor and some of the Law Lords. His time, too, will be so fully occupied, that he will be un able to attend to the suggestions for legal reforms that may from time to time be brought forward. Nothing, in fact, has been achieved,.the great oppor tunity is deliberately misapplied. The so-called Chancery reform is, in fact, a fitting associate for the precious Budget, and we may say of them, in the words of the old song— " Ah, sure a pair were never seen, So justly formed to meet by nature." ANOTHER STRIKE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE (THIS DAY).—About half-past nine o'clock this morning a great disinclination appeared on the part of the painters and carpenters to proceed with their work. On the necessary inquiries being made, it appeared that the workmen of Messrs. Fox and Henderson have been allowed one hour to breakfast; but that on Saturday the half-hours during the week were deducted from each man. No strike was contem plated by the firm, and the consequence was that nearly every man left the Exhibition by ten o'clock. The painting and carpenters' work is now beginning to be of great importance to the firm, they wishing to forward what they have to do in anticipation of the forthcoming fine weather, and the fore man was endeavouring to provide fresh hands. THE SOLICITOE-GBNERAL.—Mr. Page Wood has issued his address to the electors of the city of Oxford, so liciting a renewal of their suffrages, now that his seat is vacant by his being appointed Solicitor-General. The offer, he says, was unsought for and unexpected; and in many respects he should have preferred retaining an independent position ; but Lord J. Russell having declared that a Bill had been actually submitted to the Cabinet for the extension of the suffrage, and would be introduced in the next session, he saw no reason for refusing to accede to the proposal. Mr. Wood then states he is firmly attached to the Church of England, and describes his objections to Papal encroach ment, but he reminds the electors that those who accept office under any Government must occasionally sacrifice their peculiar views in many matters of detail. lf, he says, the electors are willing to return him on this undertaking, he will endeavour to merit their confidence by a firm adherenco to liberal principles. We believe there is no prospect of an opposition. The day of nomination is on Thursday next, at twelve o'clock. THE PUSEYITES AND TUE NEXT PARLIAMENT..-- We have good reason for concluding that whenever a general election comes—and it cannot be very remote—nearly every one of the Puseyites at present in Parliament will be turned out of their seats. Great dissatisfaction was before felt with the Tractarian tendencies of certain gentlemen ; but since their votes against the Papal Aggression Bill, their respective constituencies have lost all patience with them. Mr. Card well, we are assured, has not the shadow of a chance for Liverpool, nor has Mr. Smythe for Canterbury. Though R'pon is little better than a nomination borough, it is doubt ful whether Sir James Graham's Puseyism will not prevent his re-election. In the counties, too, the work of ejection, on account of the Tractarian predilections of certain honourable gentlemen, will be carried on without remorse. It curiously happens that the Puseyites in Parliament are mostly Free traders, so that between the Protectionism and Protestantism of the county constituencies, the Tractarian representatives can look for no quarter.—Morning Advertiser. THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF ARTS.—At a general meeting of the Royal Academicians, on, Saturday, Charles Landseer, Esq., R.A., was elected keeper of the Royal Aca demy, in the place of J. Jones, Esq., R. A., resigned. The Royal mail steam-ship Africa, Captain Ryrie, sailed from the Mersey on Saturday morning for New York, with the usual mails, a large freight, and upwards of 100 paassagers. 13 5 3 9 12 8 RKETS.

It wilt also be seen that the importations of the last six weeks, compared with the importations of the preceding six months, exhibit a very considerable decline. Our markets have now fallen so low as to exclude even the produce of the last four abundant harvests in France. The position of the Iron trade, as reported from the South Staffordshire district, is steady, but there is no briskness. There are moderato orders, and stocks are not excessive, but the competition with Wales and Scot land was very severe. It is not unfair to assume, pro bably, that iron will come into more extensive use this year for various purposes, the Exhibition having given an impetus to its application; but while production is so ample, an advance in prices is improbable. The report of the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 29th inst., states that the tendency was more favorable for Dutch Stock, and Spanish and Portuguese Bonds were animated. The negotiations for the treaty of commerce between Belgium and the Zollverein will be received in about a month, according to a loeal jour nalist. By the steamer Pacific we have accounts of the 19th inst. from New York. Business was tolerably good, and expected to be flourishing during the ensuing sea son, but the money market was tightening and the loans were not so easily negotiable, the obligations of the community having in creased faster than their means of payment. The circulation of the banks was greatlylinflated, owing to the largely-extended issue of Railway Bonds, &c., upon the strength of the presumed stimulus afforded by Californian gold. It is hardly expected, however, that any seriouus revulsion of credit will occur in the United States, as California will probably yield treasure for some time yet with comparative regu larity. The total value of merchandise exported from New York in February last was 3,171,319 dollars, the shipments to Great Britain being larger than usual, compared with the aggregate. This was produced principally by the increased ship ments of Cotton. To Havre and other Continental ports, the exports have been limited. To Chagres and the other ports of Central and South America, the ship ments have been to about the usual extent. Accounts of the Bth inst. from Havannah, represent the island as being quiet, and state that General Concha was exerting himself for the amelioratian of the colony. Complaints are made of the excessive port charges. The treasury is said to be very low. _ _ Port-au-Prince advice of late date state that business was dull there, and from St. John's, Porto Rico, we learn that there had been several shocks of earthquake during the week ending the 22d ult. The Coffee crop of Hayti will fall short of an average. The article could not be delivered on board at less than 10 to 101 cents. Spanish per lb. A great number of political Mulatto prisoners had been released, but a conspiracy had been discovered among the blacks exclusively, with persons of distinction at their head. The Tehauntepec route becomes more tangible every day. On the southern coast of that isthmus, at the Ventosa, an excellent harbour bad been discovered, where vessels of all sizes will find, it is said, a good and perfectly safe anchorage, and much safer than Vera Cruz, the south wind not affecting it. The Bay of Salina Cruz, on the Pacific shore, also afforded excel lent shelter here, as the north winds had but little effect. The English Stock Market is exceedingly quiet again, bat very firm. Consols have been marked 961 I for Transfer, and 96i i for Account. The premium on Exchequer •bills is 51s. to 545. We aro now fast approaching the time when the dividends, amounting to between six and seven mil lions, will be paid upon the English Stocks, the transfer books for which are at present closed. Be sides this there will be dividends payable upon various foreign stocks, and it will then be seen whether any of the surplus will be invested in shares or stock. East India Bonds brought 57s to 62s premium. In the Foreign Market there has en scarcely any business doing. Spanish Five per Cents. are firm at 21i /, and the Passive at 6 t. Chilian Three per Cents. have been marked 66, and Brazilian Old Bonds 92. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 98. Mexican aro about 33i ri a.

Great expectations are beginning to stimulate the ambition of the Protectionists. Under Lord STANLEY they are in hopes of securing to themselves the per quisites of place and the prerogatives of power— simply, because the formation of any other Cabinet appears to be impracticable in consequence of the di vision of political parties in the Legislature. Pre cisely for the same reasons, the Whig section of the Parliament were sanguine of measuring out red-tape in Downing-street, towards the close of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S administration. The weakness of their anta gonists gave the aspirants an opportunity, such as must otherwise have been denied to their unassisted incompetence. In either instance it promised to be only a modern illustration of the two men fighting for the jackass, the prize being purloined by a third party during the disturbance. Happily for the Whigs they were enabled to realize their dreams of office to their entire satisfaction, aided throughout by two most advantageous circumstances. The magnanimous assistance afforded them by the illustrious statesman they had succeeded imparted strength to a Cabinet which was moreover based upon public confidence in regard to its maintenance of free-trade principles. Unluckily for the Protectionists, they can enter upon the labours of administration under no such propitious and sustaining auspices. They are about as unlikely to meet with magnanimity , from their predecessors as support from the mul titude. Stung into a state of morbid irritation and fretful susceptibility by the derision cast upon them prior to their unlamented downfall, the ex-Ministers will be little inclined to deal leniently with the measures introduced by their conquerors. Upon this point there can be little cause for uncertainty. Equally secure may we feel that no influence can induce the vast mass of the population to submit tranquilly to the re-imposition of even a moderate impost upon provisions. Nevertheless, in spite of these very manifest con siderations the Country Party are beginning to cal culate pretty confidently upon the seizure of the red boxes, and not only upon this, but upon their reten tion. They are accustoming themselves to meditate so continually upon the probability of an accession to power that, like the beadle of Lansmere, they are becoming daily more and more " bumptious." Paeans are already being chaunted by the organs of the Coming Government. Maga itself leads off the charms very appropriately in its number for the first of April. Others will, no doubt, emulate the fervour of its exultation and waft the new Ministry into place upon the breathings of this most sweet applause. Certainly very little need be accomplished by the next holders of office, in order to demonstrate their superiority as administrators over the members of the departed Cabinet. For assuredly their can never have been witnessed before now such a beggarly dis play of empty projects in the way of improvement as those chronicled in the history of the Whig Adminis tration. From the first moment of its entrance into authority its system appears to have been that of per petual procrastination. A grandiloquent programme of reforms has been announced with all ceremony at the commencement of each session by the First Lord of the Treasury—promises innumerable have been made to the various aspirants for legislative improve ment throughout the United Kingdom—but invari ably, towards the close of the annual toils of Parlia ment, it has been discovered that scarcely anything whatever has been accomplished in the desired direc tion—the majority of the national hopes being de layed until the next year for their realization. Session after session, we say, this has proved the case with the most lamentable regularity. Ses sion after session the expectations of the community have been baulked. Each long looked-for innovation has melted away time after time like a Ministerial mirage in the midst of a Parliamentary wilderness. Scarcely a solitary concession of any value has been made Co the wishes of the population. Scarcely a Bill of any real importance has passed through the Legislature at the instigation of the Government, if we except, perhaps, the one relating to the encumbered estates in Ireland. This, with the Act conferring the right of the constitution upon our principal colonies; another granting an extension of the franchise in the sister island ; another regulating the laws relative to navigation ; another affecting the interests of the mercantile marine ; another gradually remitting the duties upon certain descriptions of sugar ; another referring to the health of towns ; another to metropolitan interments, and one or two minor measures of no especial inter est, or perceptible necessity—have been the meagre and paltry advantages conferred upon the country by the Whigs during the four years and a half in which they have held in their grasp the reins of the Go vernment. After remaining in power for so long a ' time upon little better than sufferance, they will at length be driven over to the benches of Opposition. Nor can their downfall be matter of regret to any beyond the range of their own immediate partizans, if we only take into consideration the conduct pursued by the Cabinet during the course of the present session ever since the 4th of February. Easter is rapidly drawing near, the Whitsuntide holidays will follow not long afterwards, and as yet absolutely nothing whatever has been effected in the way of legislation ! Nothing ! Even the Bill introduced by the Earl of CARLISLE in reference to the restriction of the sale of arsenic has only passed as yet through one of the Houses of Parliament. The Budget continues to the present moment in nubibus. The various esti mates are being bungled through at intervals in a way more slovenly than can be agreeable to the aspirants for retrenchment. Measures of all sorts and sizes are undergoing the process of transformation into enactments—some half through, some a quarter, some only a sixth, mere fceti or embryoes, that may turn out, for all that we can guess just now, the veriest abortions imaginable. And this is the position of affairs in the Legislature at a moment singularly and even lamentably inopportune, immediately before the opening of the Great Exhibition, when observant crowds from all quarters of the globe will be congre gating in our metropolis. Added to all which, ill feelings have been excited on all hands by the incom petence or perverseness of a certain section of the Cabinet, so that when the actual period of its declen sion has closed with their retirement, they will quit their seats with scarcely a semblance of commisera tion. Let not the Protectionists, however, exult over much on the prospects of power opening before them, but remember that its pleasures are now more than ever accompanied by a sense of terrible and almost overwhelming responsibilities. There is a story recorded in the classic pages of JOE MILLER respecting three Irishmen, who finding at a late hour of the evening that they had still fifteen miles of their journey unperformed, comforted them selves with the assurance " that it was only five miles a piece." The moral appears to have sunk deeply into the mind of Lord Joins RUSSELL, and to have formed the foundation of the measure of pseudo- Chancery reform which, after so long preparation and so many sonorous flourishes, was at length intro duced on Thursday evening. The measure was announced last year, and although the details were not revealed, in order to give ample time for the mature and attentive consideration which the vast importance of the subject so eminently merited, there were sufficient indications, however, that the Premier then contemplated the separation of the ju dicial and political functions of the office, and that one permanent j udge, at least, would be appointed to over the C b fb • our 0 Equity, being probable that another would be selected us chief of the appellate jurisdiction of the House preside of Lords, so a ,, s, t o remov e th e anoma l y o f an appeal not Irou a PRILir d run k to P uiLir , , sober," but from the Lord Chanc e ll or i n the Court of Chancery so2g.e in to th e the sameearned and di st i nguished per n if the mag i c influ ence of the latter position was quite sufficient to disperse any errors that might have arisen in the SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 24th have arrived. Either General CORDOVA or General PEZUELA. will succeed General O'DONNELL as Inspector• General of Infantry. The Infante Don ENRIQUE, the brother of the KING, has arrived at Aranjuez. His future residence will be fixed at either Cadiz or Valencia. MADRID BOLZL, MARCH 24.—0 n the Bourse, the Threes were at 36 35g. The Bourse would be closed on the 25th, on the occasion of the fete of the An nunciation. GERMANY. Austria has, it is said, proposed to the Germanic Confederation to purchase the German fleet. Accounts from Berlin of the 20th state that the Prussian Cabinet has presented its ultimatum to Austria on the subject of the German question. The circulation of the pamphlet, entitled " Dres den Conferences," is prohibited throughout the Aus trian dominions. The Independance of Brussels says : " A conflict, which appears likely to lead to the dis solution of the Second Chamber of Hanover, has arisen between that body, which claims the constitutional right of refusing the taxes. and the Government, which, sup ported by the First Chamber, refuses to the Second the absolute exercise of that right. It was on the occa sion of the reductions which the latter wished to make in the salaries of the members of the Supe rior Court of Appeal, and of the refusal which it gave to the notes of credits for the provin cial Administrative Councils, that the conflict as sumed it serious character. The Government has de termined on not yielding, and the dissolution of the Second Chamber may, therefore, be expected. It is M. Stuve, the ex-Minister, who appears on this occasion, to be at the head of the opposition." It may be remembered that three Constituent As semblies, elected since 1848 to revise the Constitution of Wurtemberg, have been successively dissolved by the Government almost as soon as they had met, because the Liberal party were found to be in a majority in each of them. It was to prevent such a thing occur ring a fourth time that the King of WIIRTEMBERG has just decided that the elections shall not take place according to the Constitution now in force, but ac cording to that of 1819. His ordinance on the sub ject is equivalent to the abolition by decree of the existing fundamental law, and to the return to the old institutions. The King of SAXONY had already set an example on this point to the King of WURTEM-. BERG. TURKEY. Advices from Constantinople announce the arrival in that city of KIANY PACHA. on a special mission from the PACHA of EGYPT to the SULTAN. The PACFIA has, it is said, acceded to all the demands of the Turkish Cabinet. The earthquake at Rhodes on the 28th ult. occa sioned terrible devastation, the fortifications were completely destroyed, and scarcely a house was left without a trace of the calamity. Along the Anatolia shore whole villages have been destroyed, and several even have completely disappeared. At Marmorice 500 houses were laid prostrate. At Macri all the stone buildings have been knocked down. Two hills have met and swallowed up the village of Meslakjik; and at Egendjik a mountai❑ fell into the port. The casualties are calculated at about 1,000 souls. The insurrection in Bosnia was rapidly spreading. GREECE. Accounts from Athens of the 19th state that the regency of the QUEEN was very popular, and that there was a strong desire manifested that it should continue. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.)

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO TAE MARQUIS OF GRANBY. —MILTON, MARCH 30.—0 n Thursday, while hunting in the ale of Belvoir, an untoward accident befel the Marquis of Granby, which net only for some time will prevent the Noble Marquis from resuming his Parliamentary duties, but will cast a gloom over the brilliant and numerous assemblage expected at the Castle during Croxton-park rac e s , on Tues day and Wednesday nex t. When following the hounds his Lordship, when mounted, had occasion to approach one of the field who was riding a young unbroken animal, which suddenly commenced kicking, and a stroke from one of his heels catching the Noble Marquis inside the left leg just below the knee, the calkin of the animal's shoe cut through his boot and flannel drawers, and stripped off the flesh to the bone. At first it was feared the bone had been fractured, but happily this opinion proves to have been unfounded. Alarm immediately seized the whole field, and the sport of the day was discontinued. Lord Granby was conveyed to the Castle, and having undergone the necessary surgical exa mination, was put to bed. The pain from the wound was considerable, and continued to increase during the night, and remained unabated all day on Friday; on Saturday morning it was deemed advisable to procure additional sur gical assistance from Nottingham, the more especially as during the previous night the Noble Marquis had very little rest. Last night, however, his Lordship rested well, and up to nine o'clock this morning the symptoms of the noble patient are so favourable as to warrant a hope that he will be enabled to resume his Parliamentary duties shortly after the Easter recess. Daring the last three days much sym pathy has been manifested in this town, indeed throughout the Vale of Belvoir, and in the towns of Leicester, Notting ham, and Stamford. THE SH gallways.

Our market today was but moderately supplied with Foreign Stock, chiefly in middling condition. The num bers of home-fed Beasts on offer were seasonably exte sive, and of full'average quality. Notwithstanding that the dead markets were rather scantily supplied, and that the weather had become more favourable for slaughter ing, the B3ef trade was in a very sluggish state, and last weAt's prices were with di ffi cu l ty su pported. T top figure for Beef was 3s 8d p e r Sibs. From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,250 Scots, Short Horns, &c.; from other parts of England d , 400 of various breeds; and from Scotla nd, 318 horne and polled Scots. There was a decided increase in the supply of Sheep compared with that exhibited on Mon day last; hence the demand for that description of stock was in a sluggish state at barely previous curr encies. The primest old Downs in the wool sold at 4s 8d per Sibs. In Lambs only a limited business was doing at about stationary prices. The sale for C alves and Pigs was very inactive, but we have no chang e to notice in their value. -- --. Per Bibs. to sink the offal. g. d. to EX s, d. to s. d.

(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.) THE CASE OF MISS TALBOT.—FOYLE V. WRIGHT. The arguments in this case having been adjourned from Saturday until this morning, the court was again very much crowded. Mr. ROLT, who resumed his arguments on behalf of Dr. Doyle, said ho had very shortly stated on Saturday that there was a great difference between the case pre sented on the petition of Mr. Berkeley, and that pre tented by counsel at the bar. There were two main complaints presented at the bar—first, that Dr. Doyle with the consent of the Uarl and Countess of Shrews bury, had sent Miss Talbot to a very improper school, and had allowed her to remain there, and thus com mitted a fraud upon the court; and secondly, that an attempt had been made by the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury to entrap and force her into a convent in the autumn of 1850, after she had completed her educa tion. The petitio n, o n t h e ot her head, said the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury had endeavoured to force her into a marriage with a person of the name of Rochefoucault, which was disagreeable to her, and that having refused to contract this marriage, they had, by way of threat, sent her back to:the convent, not as a pupil but as a postulant, and had endeavoured to force her to take the vows of obedience to the obligations of the convent. Now there had not been a shadow of evi dence in proof of this charge, than which a more nefa rious or serious one was never made before the court. The statement at the bar only went thus far—that a priestly domination had been exe rcised over her fro m her earliest infancy, and influences securinghis d gscrraedhuaeanrl discrepancy moneyin s instilled I betweenl forrd i t t n h h t e e ° t li h w e e f o m r n a id t n C em a t e w h n i o t t l a h i c s t a h C e m h uvaridecehw. deserved consi deration of the Court. If werete p t serious r y ae that the Earl and Countess had endeavoured to force Mr. Berkeley but if hiswalasdyinto a distasteful marriag e entitled to have theprayer of his pe- t t i h t e i n granted, ytnin g and there was not a s h a d ow o f evidence in proof assertion to that effect w as of accuracy—ho deserved the severest re prehension which the C ou rt ever v i s i te d on a person w ho presented a petition on behalf of an infant, and ought to have bis petition dismissed with costs. The Learned Counsel next adverted to the statements respecting the school at tached to the "Lodge" at Taunton, contending that it was a tit institution for the education of a young lady in her position. It was a highly respectable sch 00l ,hand was intended for the education of the children of high Roman Catholic families, and it had been considered a desirable place for Miss Talbot, considering her position, fortune, and connexions, and also the delicate state of her health, which her guardian was anxious to improve. He (Mr. Rolt) considered that both charges, viz., that this was an improper school , and that she had been continued there in opposition to the order of the Court of 1843, entirely fell to the ground. He ROW proposed to examine the charge that a priestly or had been exercised over the young lady in order to get her money, for the purpose of exten din g that priestly influence in other directions, and thu 3 to compel her to withdraw from the world. This, he might observe, was wholly inconsistent with the other charge, that a co ercive attempt had been made to induce her to enter into a marriage to which she objected. The two charges were suicidal—they might have done very well as plots two separate dramas, but to include them in one drains only showed the want of skill on the part of th toaMetist; and that this was an exhibition gotuspvhex,e,i,tiet and arouse public attention and feeling, hea ther tuly avowed, and would leave the Court to judge was not. But on what did this monstrous inconsistency depend? Mr. Berkeley, in his affidavit, quoted a passage from the works of Dr. Wiseman, to the effect that no one could enter the Roman Catholic Church ex'. cept by one gate—unconditional submission to the teach ing of the Church, and drew therefrom the conclusion that all educated in the faith were bound to submit to the dictation of priests and the superiors of convents] But that was not the only church which said that its n o r e l r i g o a a a n s ee teaching was imperative. The same doctrine was held by the Church of England and other churches.
