The extravagant rate was maintained until the last moment, when they were underbid by the discount establishments, and they found the business gradually slipping through - their fingers and finding its way to other quarters. Indeed, they might very properly have made a further reduction to 5 per cent. for eligible bill, such as they would require, were cashed in the general market at 5} per cent. It is, of course, the- business of the Directors to make money as dear as possible. Their interests are directly opposed to those of the industrial community. If they were merely the managers of a private establishment, they would naturally have a distinct right to "do as they liked with their The result arrived at was one that conld not be tolerated by this country, and by acting promptly and energetically, the Government removed the difficulty, and obtained redress at a tithe of the expenditure that might otherwise have been in dispensable. Besides, the question has been already disposed cf, by a competent tribunal. The whole of the Eastern policy, that relating to Persia as well as to China, has been made the subject of an Appeal to the Country, and the nation has unequivocally pronounced a decisive verdict in favour of Lord PALMERSTON and his Government. The time then for questioning the policy has gone by. Its opponents were guilty of culpable 'aches in not bringing the question before the House in the same manner as that relating to China. And having neglected the' proper opportunity, they are now debarred from obtaining the redress to which they might otherwise have been entitled. It was, as Mr. DISRAELI declared, when the- announcement was made in the Speech from the Throne, at the commencement of last Session, that the dissentients ought t ) have come forward and boldly prot3sted against the course adopted. But while so far sustaining the Ministerial policy, we think that, as in every other case of war, whether English or Indian, the expenses whereof might by any possibility fall on the British Exchequer, not an hour should be lost in laying the proceedings that had taken place, be fore Parliament, and asking for its approval. A mere tacit or implied sanction is not sufficient. There should be a direct c)mmunication, full in formation given, and a general approval asked for and obtained. This is what the British Constitution required, but this was not done. And, although the time for censure or re probation may have lapsed, we trust that not only the present, but all future Governments, will respect the constitutional principle and the universal feeling, both of Parliament and of the community, and, whenever a similar emergency shall arise, take the most prompt and effectual measures for bringing the case before the Legis lature, and obtaining its assent to what has already been done, and as to the general policy to be observed with respect to the progress of hostilities and the terms on which an honourable and beneficial peace may be concluded. own." But the unwise and ipequitable legislation that has taken place has invested them with a quasi national character. They are made the controllers of the currency—the regulators of the circulating medium, and they are enabled, by making money scarce and dear, largely to aug ment their own profits. THE A THE-ROY A.

They should not be placed in such an invidious position, or be exposed t) the temptation of hav ing their duties and their interests pulling in op- posite directions. A really National Bank is required, which should issue really national paper money, receivable in payment of taxes, and which would always be in full demand to meet the claims of those whose visits in this country are by no means like those of angels, either few or far between. The Government being respon- sible, should receive the profits arising from this issue, in place of handing them over to a trading corporation, and paying heavily for the accommo dation it requires. We are firmly convinced teat a total severance of the connection between Bank and State, would be eminently beneficial to both parties. The former would realise legitimate profits, and be enabled to distribute as large divi dends as they can under Existing circumstances, while the nation would benefit by the abolition of banking monopoly, and the establishment of a flee trade in currency, the great want of the pre lOYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE, 14) , .Le9Aeo, Mr. Alfred Wigan. sent day. " Taxation money "—based on the amount to be levied on the country, regulated by Parliament, and issued in small and convenient denominations, so as to answer for the transactions of every day life should be the great foundation of our currency. The 14,475,0001. issued on securities by the Bank, and the authorised issues of the private and joint-stock banks, may be regarded as so much "taxation-money ;" but it would be far better if it proceeded directly from a department of the Government, in which case, being secured, not only by all the accumulated wealth, but also by the thews and sinews of the people, it could not be depreciated, nor would there be any necessity for an ounce of gol4 being held against it. Private banks might also issue piper, convertible into national money—on giving satis factory security by a deposit of Consols, or other valuable securities for its redemption. The demand would in such case always regulate the supply. There would neither be star vation nor extraordinary abundance. The capitalist would get fair, but not exorbitant, interest, and the mercantile, manufacturing, and trading interests would be certain of a reasonable amount of what has been justly termed " the life-blood of industry." The use of gold would be greatly economised. It would be rendered altogether available for the foreign trade, and it would be alike the duty and the ecterest of the Government and of private money dealers to maintain a stock adequate for any emergency, and sufficient to keep the ex changes favourable to this country. The price of gold would be by no means so variable an element under such a system, as the rate of discount is under that now in operation.

We cannot approve of the course decided on yesterday, at the meeting of members favourable to the principle of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill. It was virtually truckling to the House of Llrds —confessing that the House of Commons were not the sole judges of their own privleges, and making a fifth appeal to those who have already contumeliously rejected four applications, and who will probably treat the new one with as scant ceremony t It weakens the position which they were authorised to assume, cuts the ground front under their own feet, and, to a certain extent, confesses the strict justice of the course adopted. Indeed, as we have already repeatedly stated, the great mistake was in ever proceeding by bill, in place of by resolution. Had Baron ROTHSCHILD, when he tendered himself at the bar of the House, and offered to take the oaths in the form which he considered to be "most binding on his con science," been admitted, much valuable time would have been saved to the country, and a subject that has occasioned great irritation been completely set at rest. _ _ S TRAND THEA TRE. —Lessee, Mr. T.

Yesterday afternoon her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, their Royal High nesses the Princess R Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, and attended by Lady Churchill, the Hon. Emily Cathcart, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Captain the Hon. Dudley de Rog, Colonel Biddulpb, and Lieut. Cowell, proceeded to Aldershot. • „ LONDON,- FRIDA.V, JULY 17, 1457 It is Lord JOHN RUSSELL who has again flung down the apple of discord, by the new attempt at compromise. This will be brought forward this evening, in the shape of a Bill to amend the Act Ist and 2d Vie cap. 108, entitled "An Act to remove various doubts as to the validity of certain Oaths"—the object being that each House shall have power to regulate the oaths to be taken by its own Members on taking their seats. We can scarcely doubt as to the reception which this bill will meet with from those who have already so summarily rejected the various measures carried by large majorities of the House of Commons in four successive Parliament?. To the bill so recently rejected, they were favour able in every respect, but one. They did not de sire that the blasphemous absurdity of swearing against the claims of persons not in existence should he continued, but that, orally thing was better than that a Jew should participate in the national Councils. When that appeal was disallowed, they will not be willing to take the still broader ground of permitting the other branch of the Legislature to alter or vary the test according to their own will and pleasure. When they so strenuously objected to any change in the mere form, they will scarcely place the substance itself at the mercy of their opponents. We believe, then, that the new bill will be a certain failure, and that the attempt will be highly derogatory to the honour and independence of the House of Commons ! and will go far to justify the other House in its unjustifiable assumptions. It was not thus with respect to Lord WENs- LEYDItei Nihen'he attempted to take his seat on a patent limiting the Peerage for his own life. ,There the Lords acted boldly and independently. They declared that they were the sole judges of their own privileges, and would not tolerate even 1 the slightest interference. The manly proceeding wag fully successful, and the vexed question was permanently set at rest. But those sticklers for their own rights, will not admit a similar prin ciple when asserted by the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature. They wish t 3 be judges in their own case, and also in that of the House of Com mons, and they have maintained the unwarrant able demand against every remonstrance. The present bill seems to be the nliiniatissimuni. It will go up with the significant hint, pass it, or else - ! For the Liberal party by which the Government is sustained and supported have de cided that the matter must be disposed of one way or the other before the prorogation. Sooner or laterlthe resolution 'proposed by Mr.prnLwYN must be carried. It is the only practicable so lution of the difficulty, and we deeply regret that 1 it should have been decided to make another use : less attempt to subdue the perverse obstinacy that 1 has so long been maintained under circumstances i that ought to have led to a very different line I of policy on the part of their Lordships. The Royal party quitted the private station at Nine Elms shortly before 5 o'clock, the Hon. Ralph Dutton, one of the director?, accompanying the train, the driving of which was superintended by Mr. Scott and Mr. Beattie, the traffic and locomotive mana,ers of the line. Her Majesty arrived at the Farnborough station pre cisely at holf-past 5. General Kollys and staff were in attendance to receive her, with an escort of the 4th Light Dragoons under .Maj.r Portal. From a portion of what fell from Mr. 110RetreK last night, and for which his resolutions were in tendtd to obtain the sanction of the House o f Commons, we dissent Coto co-10. We are, how ever, compelled to admit that his assertions were " partly proved," and that the appointed guar dians of the national purse had good grounds of complaint at finding their constitutional functions completely ignored in all respects save that of providing for the l'quidation of " the little bill."

From Jamaica advices are to the 26th ult. The island was healthy and business somewhat slack. The sugar crop was over, and the greater pert of the pro luce shipped, a considerable quantity of which had been consigned to the United Statei. Abun taut rains had fallen, and the canes pro rniAed. well for next year. Mining operatous were being steadily cnnducted and progressin ,, fixourably.

A Paris letter, in the .Nord of Brussels, says: —" I und.(xstaiici that M. Thouvenel has been authorised not to follow up the protest presented to the Porte against the acts of the caimacan of Moldavia. The motive of this abandonment is the me tsure adopted by the Porte of postponing from the 12th to the 27th inst. the elections of Moldavia for the nomination of the members of the Divan, in order that the electoral lists may be rectified conformably to the demands made by the commissioners of the congress of Paris. The advice of M. Thouvenel has led to this , policy of moderation. It has been appioved of by the representatives of Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and M. de Prokesch are said to have strongly opposed the concession m 'de by the Porte " . BOURSE, July 16.—The following were the last quotations : Governor D irling was expected out in the packet of the 7th inst. No news in the political world. From Barbadoes there is very little news. The Waterworks Company's' Bill had bean somewhat modified as far as the guarantee clause was con cerned.. The weather had continue I favourable for reaping, and very little sugar remained to be male. The young craps presented a healthy and luxuriant appearance. The health of the island was-good. Froria St. Thomas's, on the Ist inst., we learn that the yellow fever was on the increase, and was .making gre at ravages among the shipping in the harbour. The amount of fatal cases was beyond the usual average. The barque Kingfisher, bound to Janaaicas lost the captain, mate, and nearly all hands by this dreadful malady. Advices from Demerara sate that the contract for steam communication between Demerara, Esse quibo, and Berbice bad been taken' by Captaiii Spotton and Mr. G. Watson, an enterprising mer chant in Water-street. Her Majesty's steam transport Perseverance arrived on the 22d with 180 men of the 2d West India Regiment, and had left again with the re maining companies of the regiment. Business was dull. The weather had been showery and favour able for the growing 'canes, which were thriving well. • The colony was healthy at the departure of the packet. There bulb: en no late cases of cholera The Court of Policy was sitting engaged in giving legal form to the intentions of the Combined Court, which bad concluded its session. The report of the great success of the gold dig gers at Upata, situated on the head waters of the Cayun, a river of this colony, had excited little sensation. The labourers of Guiana have a fear of the Yankees, and would be chary iu going beyond 'the - shadow of the British flag. Mr. Drysdale, the newly-appointed Governor of Tobago, had assumed office, and was gaining the favourable opinion of all classes. The crops were nearly reaped, and 3,000 hogsheads of sugar al ready shipped. Several vessels were loading and waitingto load. The rainy season had set in mildly, and the island was healthy. The canes were look ing well for next year. Grenada continued healthy, and business was dull its consequence of the completion and shipment of the sugar crop, which exceeds that of last year by about 3,000 hhds., making the year's shipments 6,500 bhds. The encouraging state of the sugar market bad led to considerable patches of land being brought into cultivation, the weather was also favourable and the young canes were in a most healthy condition, and sanguine hopes were enter tained ,that the next year's crop will produce about 9;000 lauds. There is no political news at Martinique. Plenty of rain had fallen, and the crops were looking well for next year. Sugars had been selling from 52f. to 55f. not withstanding the falling off of prices in the Euro pean markets. The yellow fever was making fear ful havoc among the shipping. The town of St. Pierre was also affected, but not to any extent. In other French islands the drips had increased and still promised better. In all the West India islands the planters had reaped good crops, and were using every exertion to inc-ease the quantity of produce next year to meet the demand for the staple. From the Pacific there is very little news ; the Government was raising a loan of 4,000,000 dollars to complete.the Valparaiso and Santiago Railroad. .The copper mines continued to yield abundantly. New and very rich.mines hid been a discovered near Pabelloa, which promised -- to yield abundantly. Business at Valparaiso was unusually dull. From the River Plate we learn that , the yellow fever was decreasing, but Montevideo was almost deserted. The disease was breaking out in Buenos Ayres. At Arica everythin4 was quiet. Vivanco still' held out at Arequipa, but the town was surrounded by the troops of Generals San Ratnea and Treyre, about 3,000 in number.

MORBID CURIOSITY.---The dwelling-house of Mr. Smith, in Blythswood.square, has been an object of treat attraction to t'se public for sours days p Ist, On Sabbath evening last hundreds of people were col )ected at the house peering into the windows, examin ing the doors, and identifying the places referred to in "the trial of Miss Smith. Groups of people have during the week lieen constantly observed engaged in a similar manner. On Thursday the morbid feeling of a number of these fo , ilish gaping visitors carried them so far as to chip off bits• of the stone wall, - and scrape off quantities of the lime as relics. Some were actually dropping plummets of lead, fastened by a string, betwem the bars of the ground .fl.ior window, a pparently with the ludicrous idea of ascertaining bow love letters would look when lying on the same spot.

This morning, at 10 o'clock, her Majesty, attended by a hri,liant staff, reviewed the troops at present in camp at Alder=lot. Tne 14 battalion of the Coldstream Guards, the 221, 54111, and 66'h Regiments of Infantry, the Ist, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 15th Regiments of Cavalry, a troop of Horse Artillery, and one field battery composed the force re viewed. As her Majesty approached, the whole line presented arms. Colours were lowered, and the bands played the National Anthem, while the field battery overlooking the heights of the South Camp fired the Royal salute. The manoeuvres performed on ttis octa , ion consisted of a continuation of the movements which took place on the last occasion of her Majesty's visit to the camp. It will be recollected that the evolutions then gone through represented the sudden attack of a superior force before the a lvance of which the camp troops bad to retire. This morning the supposed enemy were attacked on the right position on Tystock Bridge from two point , * A strong brigade under Lord W . Paulett advanced from Elmore Farm, and crossing the BaQingstoke canal in pontoons, effected a juncture with the main body of the army under General Knollys. The enemy's advanced position was then carried, and the enemy retreated, hotly oun , ued by the Cavalry and Horse Artillery. The whole of the mar oeuvres were performed evidently to the ad.oiration of her Majesty, and the usual final salute having been given the review terminated. Her Majesty, the Prince Consort and the royal staff returned to the Pavellion. The weather was magnificent, and the attendance of company was exceedingly numerous. The Conte de Paris, the Duke D'Aunlde and several other distinguished foreigners were present at the review. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.

Admiral Lord Lyons left 'Turin on the 13th for Genoa, having on the preceding day had the honour of dining at the Royal table. The Piedmonteie cabinet experienced a slight check in the Senate ou the 11th, when the bill for a new conven►ion with the Tra,:satlantic Company of Genoa, strongly advocated by the Minister of Finance, was rejected by a majority of 32 to 21. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 13th publishes the law enacting that all prisons destined for per sons under trial shall henceforth be constructed ac coi ding to the cellular system, and those already existing be reduced to it. Persons condt-mued to a term of imprisonment not exceeding one year may also be confined iu such prisons. SPAIN. The Madrid papers of the 12th announce that the number of arrests made in that capital up to the 11th was not less than 1,049, and a letter says that in the morning of the fitti 26 others Were effected. According to seine of the journals ' the civil gover nor, M. Marfori, had declared that he could not answer for the maintenance of public tranquillity without airesting 5,000 persons in the capital and 3,000 in different parts of Spain ; but these figures were thought to be greatly exagge rated.

Accounts from Barcelona to the Bth say that all was tranquil there, though the republican conspiracy had ex tended to that city and the province of Catalonia ; he hid, however, sent out columns to scour the districts of Granollers, Villafranca, Igulada, and Vich. A letter from a ministerial source says that the cabinet means to take up the project for the sale of public property, and to propose to the Cor es in October next to "authorise the sale .f* the real property of the State, as well as the Almeiden and other mines ; but not to touch the property of the Church or of charitable establish men+s. The proceeds of the sales it will propos e to employ (says the letter) iu the extinction of the floating debt.

A correspondent, writing from Vienna to they Borsenhalle of Hamburg, professes to he acqu:tinted with the topics discussed by the Emperor of Aus tria and the King of Prussia during their recent Meeting ; he says : The Holstein question and that of the customs union form e d the principal subjects of conversation, but it is not thought that any gre it progress was made in the latter question towards the removal of the difficulties which oppose the admission of Austria into the Zollverein. It is incorrect to say that the two sovereigus conversed on the subject of the Principalities, for the views entertained by their respective governments are too much opposed to lead to any hope of an arrange ment." The Bourse Gazette of Vienna of the 11th says —" Couait Bille Brahe, the Danish ambassador at this court, has, during the last few days, had several conferences with Count de. Bun!. We un derstand that COunt Bille Brahe was charged to paint out in the clearest manner that the last Dan ish note had as much as possible taken into account the demands of the German powers, and tha-, i t was necessary to wait for the discussions in the dies of the duchies before taking any further steps.

MARKET NEW S.— (This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The quantity of English wheat arrived fresh up to-day, was very moderate, but we had several of Monday's unsold samples on offer. There were very few buyers in attend ance, and all kinds of wheat of home produce was very dull, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Nearly 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come in this week, and the show of samples was rather extensive. The trade ruled heavy, and prices were almost nominal. There was a fair inquiry for barley and malt at full cur . reams. We were but moderately supplied with oats. Good sound qualities moved off steadily, at full currencies, but damp parcels met a dull inquiry. Both beans and peas were in request at full quotations. Indian corn was in request and rather dearer.

(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q C ) SCOTT V. THE METROPOLITAN SALOON OMNIBUS COMPANY. The plaintiff in this action is a builder in New-road, and the defendants are the above welt-known company, and the action was brought to recover for damage done to a horse belonging t 3 the plaintiff through• the negli gence of defendants' servant. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the company. .. Mr. Buchanan stated the case, from which it appeared that on the 22d April last, a lad in the eervice of the plaintiff was driving a horse and cart down Castle street, City-road, and was turning into Tabernacle-row, when one of the defendants' omnibuse3 was driving along, and before the lad could draw up one of the wheels passed over the near fore foot of the plaintiff's horse. After V.a accident plaintiff had several interviews with gentlemen at the company's offic-s when he claimed 121., and he was at first offered 71 in cash, an i five 11. shares, but afterwards they proposed to refer the matter to arbitra tion, which plaintiff refused to agree to, as they had fiequently promised to pay the amount. Toe evidence as to the way in which the accident oc curred was very conflicting, and it was contended for the defence that it arose in consequence of plaintiff's boy being too hale to have a proper control over the horse he was driving. The plaintiff was examined and spoke to the several converiationv when the offers were made, and hie clerk proved that he called on several occasions and applied f"r the amount, and had been promised that plaintiff should be paid. • Mr. Pope, the secretary of the company, was called, and stated that the proposition emanated from the plait tiffand not from himself. Mr. Sleigh asked him if he had ever admitted that the company's servants were in the wrong. His Honour said that tuat had not been proved. Mr. Buchanan then addressed the Court in support of the plaintiff's evidence, and contended that the aocideut arose wholly from the negligence of the defendants' ser vants. His Honour wai very sorry to have decide the case on some points. He oonsidered that the plaintiff's boy had given , his evidence in a very proper radnner, but it appeared that the boy was not able properly 'to check the horse. There did not appear any neglect on th e part of the defendants' driver. The Englidh law; however, was stringent, that when a party had in any way contri buted to the aco:dent he could not recover damages. In this case he thought it in a great measure arose through the incapacity of the boy, and ho must therefore find for the defendants. WEIGHT V. GAME. The plaintiff in this action is an omnibus conductor, and the defendant is a butcher and purveyor to her Majesty, Cannon-street, and the action was brought to recover damages for iojuri.es sustained through the negli. gence of defendant's servants. Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, stated the case. It appesr,d that on the 15th June plaintiff was with his 'bus in the Circus, Piccadilly, and be had got off to take his fare from a gentleman who was on the pavement ; he was returning, and just off the kerb, when deten dant's man, in a cart, drove sharply by and knocked him down, and his coal, Sto„ were torn, and he received • holly ii•juries. The case was clearly made out, and his Honour gave udgMent for 3/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.) TEIA 11ES. FRAUDS ON OUTFITTERS.—John Elliott, a tall young man, of 21 Pembroke-street, Plymouth, ship carpenter, was brought up on remand, charged with fraudulently obtaining clothes and money from several outfitters by means of , alse and fraudulent pretences. It appeared that on Saturday, the 4th instant, the prisoner called at the warehouse of Shores and Brill, outfitters, Stepney, and said he belonged to one of her Majesty's ships at Woolwich, that he had been recently di-charged, and that he was to be raid off that day. He then selected a new suit of clothes, pilot jacket, nec kerchief, cap, and complete new " rig," which he put on in the shop, and requested that a messenger might be dispatched with him to Woolwich to receive the I amount of the bill 71. 55., with- change for a 101. note. A. young man, named Page, one of the por ters of the establishment was directed to ac company the prisoner to Woolwich. Oa reaching • that place the prisoner managed, to " wheedle" the porter of the money in his possession under pretence of giving • change to his captain, and went into the dock yard, the arsenal and other places, under pretence of seeking Captain Hamilton 'his commander, and nodded I to and seemed to know all the officials in the town. Alter the prisoner had almost tired out the patience of the porter he gave him the slip. Some time afterwards t the prisoner was found riding in a carriage across Wool- wich C immon. Page stopped the carriage and got inside and asked the prisoner what he meant by giving 'him the slip. The prisoner said it was all right, pointed to a large house near the Common and said that was . Captain Hamilton's residence. The prisoner and the potter alighted, and the former entered the garden and spoke, to the footman who ordered him off the grounds, . and said his master was General Barrett not Captain Hamilton. The prisoner rejoined the porter, and dim ; rectlyatterwards leaped over a fence into a field, and got into the Victoria-road, where the porter lost sight of him. The prisoner had represented himself as the carpenter of a ship, and upon this representation, Mr. Lowe, foreman to Messrs. Shores and Brill, allowed him to put on the things. • The second-charge was preferred by Mr. James Glad well, foreman to Mr. George Skinner, of Knightsbridge, clothier, who stated tha►, on the morning of the 26th of June, the day on which her Majesty distributed the Victoiia Crosses, the prisoner made a purchase of a new , suit of clothes and accessories, the cost of which amounted to 71 10s. The prisoner said he h.t.cl been in the Baltic eatopaign, at Hango, in the Crimea, and other places, a. d had 3001. He also said that he had blown up $ powder mag,zine belonging to the Russians ; and told sti great number of incredible stories. The prisoner 'then finished his story by stating that her Majesty intended to decorate him with a Victoria Cross, that he wanted: t . go to Woolwich to receive his pay, and that he would discharge the amount of his bill at Woolwich. He pro -) ceeded then with the prisoner, who managed to enter the dOckYard as the workmen were coming out, and geve him the slip. Ja.ues Willis, a police constable, No. 207 It, said the; prisoner had attempted a similar imposition on an out fitter named Cartwright, in the•Tottenham-court-roads - Wnen he took the prisoner int) custody, and told blink the charge, be said " You are decidedly wrong ; I We been in Portsmouth, and know nothing about the out fitters." The prisoner had been knocking about Wool woh some time, and was a regular swindler. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Yardley committed him for trial on two chirges. SOUTHWARK. • IMPOItTANT DECISION.—A. case of some importance to tradesmen having bagatelle , tables in their houses was decided this moruiog. Mr. Van Datnon, a tobacconist, residing at 55, Nov ington-causeway, appeared to answer a summons that had been issued against him for permitting gaming in hio house. From the evidence of a police constable, it appeared that in a room adjoining the shop kept by Mr. Ve Damon was a bagatelle table, at which several partiee were playing, and during the progress of the game several bets of five shillings were made. Mr. Soloman, for Mr. Van Damon, cOnsidered that no offence had been committed, inasmuch as he had 0 13 " tained a license for a bagatelle table. Mr. Co Mbe said he was of opinion that the statute under which the bagatelle license was granted did not roilke it an offence to bet on the game, and, acting upon 0 0 view, he should order the summons to be dismissed. CHARGE of LIBEL.—LIVERPOOL, J ulyls. —The c ricoi' nal charge of libel rgainst Mr. Odeley, editor and pro" prietur of the Liverpool Herald, for an alleged impeach' meat of the cbaitity of three Roman Catholic priests i ll the Isle of Man, has been adjourned until Tuesday week' ['be article in question set s ou t by an a ttack upon tbs Romieh institution of the celibacy of the priestooo d : i t oints to the temptation such a law engenders, an 4ates that in the pri e st' s h ouse , I s le of Man, three pries t° have three young and pretty servant girls to attend u 1 0 .4 them. The writer, after asking what necessity there l' for three domestics, says he does not impute anythia indecorous or immoral to these ge ntlemen, but be kno w* "from high authority of the Papal Church (0, ne), that ko o priest, are permitted, under certain circumstanc es, violate their vows of celibacy." After quoting, til)°, this subject, from " Dens' Theology," the writer tb o concludes :—" We hope—and know nothing to the ecf; trary—the three priests at Douglas are as pure as eon yet we tremtle for the temptation of flesh an d blocy, especially where, a 3 we have shown , one p riest can s'_!t solve another. Very few wolves can be f ound to .rct's, quietly in the same told with lambs." The three p ries . 4 are the Revs , .
