IS OPEN The tmxiotr ly-expec‘ted judgment of theiZnd;cial Committ ee of the Privy in aid appe 1 Liddell v. Westerton, w Dronouaced on &atm:- lay by Mr. Pemberton Leig), in the presentee Lo, d Wens'eyiale, Sir John Pat eson, Sir W. H. Maule, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of London. A more lucid r:tinainary of the - great pom's of a long-agitated and d , .>eply-'ntricate question, or rather string of questions, it has never been our lot to read, and we confidently anticipate that it will be received by the Church generally with sin cere satisfaction. The extreme Evangelicals will of course be chagrined, for, in so far as thy Were re presented by Mr. Westerton and his ague, they are substantially defeated, having suc:•eedeetin esta blishing only two points out of five, and those the two of least importance in the issue. But the in .jet ray of Churchmen, who do not wish to :see our parochial fabrics stripped as -bare as a Scotch con venticle, and are equally reluctant to assimilate them to a Roman Catholic chapel, will a,clinowledzo thankfully that the law leaves so much liberty in the matter of Church ornament, and will readily give up the two points on which the Court of Ap peal has affirmed the decision of the Court below. We shall probably be doing the general reader a service if we condense into a stnad compass this elaborate judgment, and present a summary of its leading pouts, dive,ted of its legal phiiyeology and technicalities. It will be remembered"that the first suit , was in stituted early in 1855 by Mr. Westerton, a b )ok seller, and Churchwarden of St. Paul's , Knigh o s ; bridge, against Mr. Liddell, and Mr. Horne, tbe other 6hurchwarden. The other suit was instituted by a Mr. Beale against Mr. Liddell and the Churchw irdens of St. Barnabas.

It appears that I am fated to participate in all the fighting the United States Government has to do. We have had a nice little skirmish with the Chinese. I will now give you all the particulars. The: English had commenced hostilities some two or three months since, and held the city of Canton in a state of siege. The Goveitnor e of Can ton requested all Americans to withdraw,-and that he would make restitution for all property destroyed from the effects of the war, belonging to them, as he intended to fight the English to the death. This snip, the Portsmouth, and the Levant, com prising the whole American squadron, were lying at Whampol, twelve mitts below Canton. On the 15th of November, Captain Foote, of the sloop Portsmouth, 'attempted to gb up to Canton in his gig by a channel that leads past four Chinese forts. As soon, however, as ho carne within reach of their guns they commenced firing at him, and compelled him. to return to his ship again. He then imme diately acquainted Commodore Armstrong of the fact.- _ On the morning of the I6th of November a boa• CITY OF LONDON.

THE MERCEIANT SHIPPING ACT. SOUTHAMPTON, MoNDAY. A public • meeting of commercial and chipping gen: lemen connected with' this port was held fit the Town-hall this afternoon, " to take int) considera tion the present state of the law.as regards the pro ceedings adopted by the Board of Trade in their in quiries affecting the counnauders of merchant ships, with the view of memorialising the Government to readjust that part of the Merchant Shipping Act which refers to this particular." - The meting 'was very numerously attended by 'captains and other officers of the various mail steam-ship companies loca.ed at this p ., rt, and other gentlemen interested in the prosperity of our mercantile marine. On the motion of Cap'ain J. R. ENGLEDUE (superintendent of the Peninsular and:_Oriental Codipany), seconded by Captain Sawyer, Captain. J. Strutt -(the examiner to the Royal Mail Com pany, and superintendent of. the Company's Offi cer's Home at this port) was voted to the chair, and introduced the business of the meeting with a few prelieinary remarks. Captain ENGLEDUE moved the first resolution, and in di:1)1g so entered in`o a statemem of the griev ances complained. of. The first p6nt contended for • was that the m ixtkant service should have the same juStiefi . extended to them-as military and naval offi cers, who, when charged with any offence, . were put upon their trial before courts constituted of their own body, and who were therefore competent to judge of the merits of the question. Another' question related to the operation of the Passenger Act, which prevent d British shipowners from fairly competing with foreigners. A Belgian steamer might arrive at this port with 500 passen gers'on board, and could take on board 100 or 200 i THE GREAT TOBACCO CONTROVERSY.

BEIMARD BURKE'S PEERAGE and 0 BARONETAGE for 1857. New Edition, correci ed to the present time from the personal • communications of the Nobility, &c "`The Peerage and Baronetage,' by Sir Bernard Burke, has acquired so extensive and secure a reputation that it is needless, almost, to say a word in its praise. It may be observed, however, that for amplitude of details, general accuracy, and excellence of arrangement, it s ands unrivalled amoral the various directories on the same subject, and that it is justly looked upon as the standard authority upon all matters relating to the lineage, personal history, family connexions, and heraldic rights of the title aristocracy of the United Kingdom. The contents of the issue of 1857 have been care fully revised." -- Morning Post. Hurst and Blackett, Publishers, successors to Henry Colburn. There were 22,000 electors in the city, but so much general apathy exists with regard to the election, that it is probable only a small number of votes will be recorded on the polling-day. DUDLEY ELECTION.—At a MEETING of influential MEMBERS of the Borough of DUDLEY, held at the Old Town Hall this day, The Mayor, JOHN RENAUD, Esq., in the Chair, the following letter from Sir Stafford Northcote, the late member for Dudley, to Wm. Haden, Esq., was read:— Pyner's, Exeter, March 22, 1857. My dear Sir—As you have expressed to me your strong opinion that my late constituents at Duclicy have a right to a further ex-, planation of the circumstances of my retirement from the represen tation of that borough than I have given in my published address, and as you state that an impression prevails among them that Lord Ward's influence was not usei to brine me to the resolution of quit ting It, I cannot object to tell yon that at the time I decided upon offering myself as a candidate for. North Devon I av,s aware that Lord Ward objected to the vote I had given on the China question, that he was no longer able to offer me the same support as he had Previously done at Dudley, and that he hoped I abould not offer myself there again, as he understood that my vote was as unpalat able to the constituency as to himself. It is due to Lord Ward to add that at the time he communicated with me on this subject, he knew that it was probable I should be • sked to stand for North Devon in the event of a vacancy occurring. Yours very faithf ll'y, STAFFORD H. NORTIECOTR. FINSBURY. Addresses wore delivered last night to the con stituenti in different Tarts of Finsbury by the re spective eandidates,—viz., Mr. T. S.

The forts opened fire on her and struck her with a cannon shof,which killed one of the crew instantly, and they had to return to the ship. Im.meiiate preparations were now made to take satisfaction for the death of one of our men and the inmults offered to the flag. As the San Jacinto draws too much water to get up any further the mist of our craw were armed and transferred to the sloops Portsmouth and Levant, and a steamboat chart red to tow them up within range of the fort% so that by three o'clock in the afternoon the Portsmouth opened a gaping fire of shell and shot upon the lower fort. The Levant got aground going up, and was of no service till nett day.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY has ever since its Introduction to the public been recognised, both by scientific teen and the trade, as the best article ever manufactured in this Country. Its claims to such pre-eminence are based upon its unri e - va ned puiity, and its closer assimi lation than any other to th flavour of the finest Champagne Brandy. There has been no Brandy,made from wine in France,-either in the present year or in the preceding one. Owing to the successive failures 'in their vintages, the French wine grower gets a higher price for his Wine. ciinsumed as such, than he can realise by its being distilled Into Brandy ; and forasmuch as the foreign Brandy of recent impor tations is hut the product of British grain and beetroot spirits, the Prestige hitherto exclusively enjoyed by French Brandy as having been distilled from a particular French wine no longer exists, and is no longer worthily assignable to it now that it is bunglingly made from other materials. The supply of wine fcr distillation into Brandy having failed, the French distiller is constrained to recur to a manu facture In which he needs the quarter of a century's experience which has been exercised upon that of BE TS'S PATENT BRANDY, to render his article r spectably competitive, and he has not had it. Under these circumstances the Messrs. Betts challenge that their PATENT BRANDY is superior to any now made abroad. It Is to the interest of the public and the Messrs Betts that these facts should be widely spread, for recent importations are of a quality so inferior as to di-grace the name they bear, and are twice the price of BETTS'S PA TENT BRANDY, which is supplied by, the trade, in capsuled bottles, to private families in any quan tity, down to the single bottle. ExciFe regulations prevent its sale from the Distillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, St. John-street, in any less quantity than two gallons.

The Royal Ma;l Company's steamer Tamar, Cap tain Jellicoe, arrived here this morning,' with th e Brazilian and River Plato mails, in charge of Lieut. Irwin, R. N., Admiralty agent. Her dates were— Buenos Ayres, Fehmary 1 ; Monte Video, 5 ; Rio de janeiro, 25 ; Bahia, March 1 ; Pernambuco, 3 ; St. Vincent, 11; Teneriffe, 16 ; -Madeira, 17 ; Lisbon, 20. The Tamar was detained for coals at St. Vincent, strong gales prevailing ; she experienced strong north-easterly gales from the line. This st"amer beings 35 passengers, and landed 34 at Lisbon. On freight she has specie fro& Buenos Ayres, value 3,8001. ; from Rio, 1,085'. ; total, 4,8851. sterling ; diamonds, value 25,800/. ; and the cargo includes 100 barrels of tapioca, 14 serons of ipecacuanha, 25 bags of cocoa, 384 bags of cochineal, and 113 packages of sundries. From Buenos Ayres our advicea state that the law respecting the differential duties had been modified by the authorities of the upper provinces now allowing vessels to discharge part of their cargo at Buenos and at Monte Video, and then proc-ed up the river w:th the remainder ; also considering Bahia, Bianca, and Castillo as foreign ports, owing to which the effect of the measure on the commerce of Buenos Ayres will be much less serioutithan was anticipated. The Buenos Ayrean Government, addressed a nets to her Britannic Majesty's Acting Consul-General, apologising for their note of the 6th of January, 1853, to the Hon. Captain Gore, enclosing him his passport, and requesting that both the note and the passport might be con sideredas withdrawn. 'ln consequence of this apo logy being accepted, the British flag was duly saluted at 1 p.m. on the Ist of February, which salute was returned -by her Majesty's ship fierier. The money market bad been very tight. Exchange opened at 725. cash on London, and subsequently declined to 715., at which it was maintained until the day of sailing of the Tamar, when some large amounts were done at 695. and a short credit. Doubloons had gradually advanced from 331 to 3411 during the, month. In freights for Englsnd and the continent large transactions had taken place, but for other quarters a!limited business had been done. To England—Salted hides, 455. to 475. 6d. ; tallow, pipes, 50s. to 555. ; boxes, 50s. 1; tobacco, 40s. to 455. ; bales, 40s. to 455. Our Buenos Ayrean correspondent writes as fol lows on.the 31st of January : " We are reduced in politics to the lowest ebb. Ministers and admirals pass and repass to and from the Parana without deigning to take the least notice of us or speaking a civil word. " Admiral Johnston was here for a few days. No public—i. e., official notice was taken of his arrival, and we are not aware that he had any interview, public or private, with any member of the Govern ment—a great change from the palmy days when Mr. Southern was the confidential counsellor of Don Juan Manuel Rosas 1 " Our internal parties are at daggers drawn with each other ; but there is a generaldetermination to allow Dr. Obligado td finish his legal term, and for tunately, the revolutionary mania is fast falling in to disrepute. . _ " Our commercial affairs are quite paralysed in view of the differential duties, aggravated,by an immense overstock of goods that persons hardly know what to do with. Our situation is far from satisfactory as regards commercial interests and prospects. " In other respects the country is prosperous, and ought to be happy." From the Brazils we learn that it was believed a new Ministry would be formed before the opening of the Chambers in May next. In the meantime there was nothing stirring in politics. Yellow fever prevailed at all the ports, and at Bahia and Rio, principally among the shipping, of a very maliguaut type. The Tamar lost two men by this epidemic. A letter from Rio, dated the 24th ult., says : "Peace reigns all over the empire. " The work; of the first section of the Dom Pedro 11. Railway are carried on with rapidity, and it is hoped that it will be opened to publio traffic either in.4.ugust or September. The second section is already marked out, and it crosses the great serra which separates tl - • Paraiba Valley from the ocean currents. The plans will be ready in February. The Cordillera offers a maxi mum declivity of 1.55 in 12 miles distance—Le:, Eng lish miles, terminating in a tunnel of 1,950 feet ; in the remaining part of it the declivities are not 'uperior to 1.80. Tenders have bee❑ called for the construction of . this section. Mr. Edward Price, we believe, will not enter in competition with any one who may appear ; the directors, on their pea, without any compromise for the first contract, give full liberty to all who may offer more advantages in such an undertaking. " Since the Failing of the French packet Byzantin to Marseilles, by which we have duly remitted the commer cial information which ought to have been taken by this conveyilnce on the 15th inst., cur markets have not pre sented much interest. Transactions have been made in exchapge upon London for this mail (Tamar) at 27i to 271 90 days' sight ; Paris, 348 90 days' sight ; and Hamburg, 657 90 days' sight. The total amount upon London is very important, and upon France and Ham burg of little consideration. _ . . `ln freighicilideiias been done, and we have to notice scarcely any alteration in the quotations per Byzantin. We have many Ehips in port, especially American. . "Coffee.--Since the sailing of the Byzantm prices have undergone no variation, and we quote—washed, 5,500 to 6,200 reis ; superior, 4.900 to 5,000 ; lot good, 4,700 to 4.800 reis; lst ord., 4,300 to 4,500 reig• Stock about 100,000 bags. "Shares.—Brazi. Bank, 107,000 reis ; Dora Pedro 2d Railway, par ; General Insurance, 50 reis premium. "Stock.—&x per Cents., 100 to 101 per cent. " Specie.—Sales of Spanish ounces have been effected at 29,800 each." The latest Bahia Price Current (Feb. 28) states that, owing principally to the heavy importations during the last month or two, the Custom House and landed warehouses were completely filled ; vessels bad been obliged to wait for weeks before they were admitted to discharge their cargoes, and great stagnation bad taken place in the import market. The stocks of beef on hand amounted to about 40,000 arrobas, selling at 4,500 reis to 6,000 reis per arroba, according to quality. In butter no sales had been effected during the pre vious week, and quotations were nominally 660 reis to 640 reis for Irish ; and 570 reis to 560 reis per lb. French. No sales had transpired in flour, and stocks in baud amounted to about 17,000 bar rels. The export market was brisk. We quote the following from the Price Current of the above date : " Sugar.—Considerable activity has prevailed during the past week, and brown sugars were eagerly pur chased at 3,200 reis per arroba in cases, with slight abatements on inferior descriptions ; for superior bags something more has been granted ; whites are less in quired atter, and sell slowly at 4,100 reis and 4,000 reis per arroba, according to quality. At 3,200 reis for browns and 4,000 reis to 4,150 reis per arroba for whites, exchange, 28d. sugars cost 30s. ld. and 375. 6d. to 38s. 3d. per cwt., free on board, exclusive of freight. " Cotton—The greater part of our stocks on hand has been bought up at 6,400 reis per arroba, at which price, exchange 28d, it stands in 6'45d per lb., free on board, freight excluded. "Coffee--In brisk demand, fair quality from the inte rior selling at 4,400 to 4,500 reir per arroba, which, at 28d exchange, is equal to 44s 4d and 45s 3d per cwt, free on board, freight excluded. " Cocoa continues to be much inquired after at con tinually ri-ing prices; last sales were at 5,200 to 5,300 reis per irroba, at which, exchange 28d, the article costs 52s to 53s per cwt. free on board, exclusive of freight. " Rum continues firm at 1,200 reis per Canada, and higher prices are demanded. " Hides much inquired after, and stocks on band in significant ; sales have been effected at 400 reis per lb. for dry and 360 reis per lb. for dry and salted, which, at the exchange of 28d, is equal to about 13 . 40 d per lb. for the former, and 11'73d per lb. for the latter, free on board, without freight. " Tapioca.—None in the market, and our quotations are nominal ; the high prices of mandioca flour prevent the fabrication of ;this article. " Pia,ssava —We have had no supplies latterly ; sales in second hands have been effected at 17,500 reis to 18,000 reis per 100 bundles of superior, and 8,000 reis to 10,01)0 reis of ordinary quality. " Coquilhos.—None in market. " Tobacco.—A small lot of closed leaf seconds of su perior quality found a purchaser at 5,400 reis per arroba; prices of regular lots without alteration. " Wood.—Arrived, 15 dozen from Porto Seguro ; sales effected, 50 dozen at 125,000 reis, and 18 dozen at 115,000 reis per dozen. " Freights.—Five or six charters have been effected this week at 40s. per ton for the Channel, Great Britain, and continent, and one at a lump sum which has not transpired, for London direct ; the Celt steamer is taken up at 455. per ton for Plymouth or Southampton, 425. 6i. for London, and 508. for Liverpool or the continent. For Bremen light freight has been engaged at 475. 6d. per ton. " Exchange has settled down to 28d., at which it closes very flat, something having been effected at 272c1., 60 days' sight on easy terms of payment." Our correspondent at Pernambuco, in his letter dated the 3d inst., writes as follows : P Our anxiety respecting the Tamar was relieved on the 15th inst. by that steamer's eafe arrival ; she pro ceeded to Bahia and Rio the following , morning, and more here .without any interference ; but an Eng lish merchant ship of the mule power would be compelled to take a very mach smaller number They had at present fitting out at this port a splen did fleet of steam-ships, - lately belonging to the General Screw Company, on whom this Act would press most heavily. There was the Golden Fleece which was about to run in conjunction - with the Teutonia and Petropolis, sailing under the Ham burg flag. They might ake passenger's on board at Antwerp, without restriction, but as soon as the Golden Fleece came here the emigration officer or Collector of Customs goes en board, and says, "You have too many persons on board, and you must land some of them." And underthe present Act the order must be obeyed. This was very un fair, and the law must be 'altered. The speaker enumerated other grevances, among, which was Lord Campbell's Act, making owners of ships re sponsible for the support of relatives of persons whose lives might be lost by accidents. He also contended that the Marine Department of the Bo trd of Trade should be composed of mercantile men, and complained of the manner in which cap tains of merchant ships who might be so unfortu nate es to lose their ships, or be subjected to any accident, were put upon their trial as though they were only common felons. Nothing could be worse or more -unjust than the mariner in which the officers and men engaged in the transport ser vice during the la'e war had begn treated, by the Government. Their services had been unnoticed, and unthanked almost, Ly any one connected with the Government of the country. He referred to the loss of the Prince and the Resolute, and cor - tended that the Government were bound in justice to give a pension to the widows and orphans of every person who had perished in those ships. The administration of the Patriotic Fund, which had been so generously contributed to by •the country, was grossly Unjust to those engaged in the trans port service, who were as unquestionably acting for the welfare and benefit of their country as the members of the army and navy were. Captain Engledue concluded a spirited and lengthened ad dress by moving the first resolution, which, with those subsequently adopted, will be found in our advertising columns. Captain.SrEwAs,r, of the European and Austra lian Royal Mewl Company, seoonclod tha roaoln tion, remarking that it was manifestly unfair for lands men to sit in judgment on naut+cal men. The resolution was put from the chair and carried unanimously. Captain FIELD (Peninsular and Oriental Com pany) moved, and Captain METIIVEN .(Peninsular and Oriental Company) seconded the next resolu tion. Referring to the late Court of Inquiry into the loss of the Madrid, Captain Metliven remarked that he could not help observing that as at present constituted such courts were composed of lands men, who received their bias from a man not practi cally acquainted with the rapid progress of naviga tion at the present day. He had no objection to magistrates or townsmen being associated with in quiries of this nature, !but he did want to see a large influence therein of men of their own class, so that men who met with an accident to their ships might be judged of by those who thoroughly under stood the whole bearing of the question. The remaind er o f th e resolutions were severally proposed and se con d e d b y Mr. p. Hedger (superin tendent of the So u th am p to n Docks), Captains Tre gear,' Christia n , an d E vans (of the Peninsular and Oriental Comp an y), M o i r a nd Curlewis (of the West India Royal M a il C ompan y), Blackmore, Benson, Bown, and B a k er ( o f t h e European and American Steam Shipping Company). The. proceedings • closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. STATE Of TRADE. There is no chan ge i n the market. The great interest taken in th e e l ec ti on not only interrupts MANCHESTER, 'Mersa 23. business here, but the wholesale houses in this city find that the same cause interferes with their cor respondence in other places. Notwithstanding this partial suspension, the prices of cloth are wet sus tained,-and the market appe tra to be thoroughly rincil business bas been in pa sound. For yarn s th ere i s a f a ir demand from the home trade, but th e yarns suited to Germany. Both 30's and 40's mule Germany. have been sought for considerably, and spinners are asking id. per lb. advance in these numbers. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report— " Ther e has been very little business done here during the last. few days, except in electioneering affairs, to which many of our large operators are thivotiog more time and labour than on almost any previous occasion. We have consequently to report 0-day a very quiet market generally, and repeat our quotations of Tuesday last." Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co. report— "The yarn market is steady, 'or rather inclining to hardneas in prices. Goods, however, are generally very inactive to-day, but without change in values. Politics are more the order of the day than busineaa." LEEDS ) MARCH 24. The cloth market has been rat herllmin:tate this morning, the excitement of electioneering proceed ings throughout the country putting a temporary check upon mercantile transactions. Fabrics suit able for summer are almost the only kinds of goods saleable. HUDDERSFIELD, MARCH 24. The market this morning has been very quiet, and it is evident that until the excitement of the election is over trade will continue fiat. There were some London buyers in, but the transactions were generally unimportant, job lots being chiefly sought for. Wool firm. Naval and 111th.taty Inteiitgence. Yesterday and the previous day a distribution of Baltic medals was made at Chatham to those officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the Chatham division of It.)yal Marine Light Infantry, who were en• gaged in the Baltic campaign of 1854-55. The number of medals distributed txceeded 170. The It troop and two detachments of the 21 Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captain E. R. Beene, received orders yesterday to proceed from Chatham to Canterbury, where they are to be stationed. Lieut. 0. F. C. Bridgman and M. J. B. Dyne proceeded to Can terbury with the detachments. The following medical officers have been attached to the Provisional Battalion at Chatham, viz. :—Staff-As sistant-Surgeons A. Reid, S. Fuller, and R. R. Scott. The following appointments were made at the Admi ralty yesterday afternoon : Commander —W. 11. Haswell to the Himalaya, vice Priest. Paymaster—H. H. Shanks (confirmed) to the Cen turion. Surgeon—Dr. William Macleod to the Melville. Assistant -Surgeon—Edward T. Morticuer to the Hesper. MasterW Assistants—Walter IL Worsfold to the Hes per, and Henry Sutton to the Rhadamanthus. MARYLEBONE WORKIIOUSE. Much sensation has been occasioned throughout the parish of Marylebone on its becoming known that Mr. and Mrs. Barnard, the re cently-appointed master and matror of the workhouse, have resigned, the great want of organisation and disci plino in the workhouse entirely precluding them from any longer conscientiously holding office. the enemy evacuated it, and we took pos , ession. Early on the morning of the 21st it was decided to take the second fort. The boats were filled with men, and under cover of the ships' batteries pnlled in for shore. When within about twenty yards of the.beach a 24-pound shot from the fort struck the San Jacinto's launch, killing one man instantly and wounding three others ; two died shortly after, but the other is fast recovering. As soon as the boats landed the men, the Chinese began to retreat from the fort, but our men rushed on them with a fury indescribable, and, maddened at the . death of their shinma es, Ravo no quarter. In the afternoon the third fort was taken. Early on the morning of the 22d the at' ack on the last fort commenced. The broadsides of the ships were accordingly brought to bear upon it, and also cover the boats while landing the storming party. There were at least 4,000 Chinamen in and about it, and it was evident they intended to make a last and desperate stand. Still our little party of about 200 pulled bravely into the shore under showers of grape from the fort, which fortunately for them were, not well aimed, and succeeded in landing without the loss of a single man. The _ _ enemy retreated as soon as we landei 7 as they - - - - - know nothing can stand the charge of a party Of sailors.. Captain Bell was as wild as anybody else ; he killed several with his own hand, grabbing them and running- his sword through them. •He nar rowly esbapei being killed himself, as a fellow made a full charge on him with a pike, but ho struck it aside with his sword and run him through. Here you see republicanism. There are Captains Bell, Foote, and Smith, of the three ships, sitting down on a log by a fire ; some of the crews are roasting some eggs or boiling a chicken on the coals, with potatoes they have foraged somtwhere. One of the men takes a chicken by the kegg : "Here, cap tain, will you have a piece ?" " - That I will, and thank you, too, as I am very hungry." So the captain takes hold of a leg and pulls for his share. This is another part of the play from the clean deck, elegant uniform, silver plate to eat off, &c. In place of Ws fine cabin, Captain Bell bas had no thing but a bunch of straw and a blanket that one of the men gave him to lie on, night after night, We have 'Mown the walls of the forts doviU with gun-powder. Our total lops is five killed and ten wounded. The walls of the forts were of the finest granite I ever saw, eighteen to twenty feet high, and six to twelve feet thick, and mounting 16 guns in all. There was one gun twenty-four feet long and ten inch ly , re—l suppose the largest in the world. We look back now surprised at our own foolhar diness in attacking foitA that in proper hands would have blown the ships out of the water. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE. OF ROM - AN POLI TICAL PRTSONSBS.-FATAL CONFLICT WITIL THE SOLDIERY. (From a Correspondent of the Daily Naos.) ROME, MARcH 19. The most exciting piece of intelligence that has presented itself since my last letter is an attempt on the part of the prisoners confined in the Castle of Palliana, chiefly for political offences, to escape, vi, et arnais, from that place of durance vile. The attempt took place about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday last, and various accounts of the occur rdnce were in circulation in the cafes and saloons of Rome on the following day, but the official nar ration appeared .on Monday evening with more exact details. It appears that the prisoners had chosen the hour allotted .to taking exercise in the court as most propitious for their attempt. Instead of returning into their respective places of confinement, some of them succeeded in forcing the doors leading to the piazza d'armi, whilst others broke through the ceiling of the prison wards . and got upon the roof of the barracks and infirmary. The first detach ment, - making use of the tools with which they are allowed to work at cerfa;n hours, broke open the door of the head gaoler's room, to get the keys from him. Thoso on the roof of the barracks un tiled the roof to gain admission int) the building, and seize the soldiers' arms, whilst the other pri soners who bad got on the roof of the infirmary endeavoured to keep the troops from ent;Ting the barracks by pelting them with tiles. Some of the rioters finally forced the door of the greit tower of the fortress, whence they molested the soldiers with showers of stones and bricks. In this state of things, having in vain summoned the prison(); s to return to their places of confinement, the com manders of the garrison of chweurs and of the brigade of gendarmes gave their men orders to fire, when, brickbats being no match for muskets, the mutineers had to submit, with the loss of four of their number killed and five wounded. One of the sOldiers and a keeper were wounded also. The official report does not give the names of the killed, but merely states that they were persons who had been condemned for wounding or robbing, "through party spirit," the damning clause which enhances threefold the beinowness of every crime in this country whenever connected in any way with poli ties]. motives. - The prisoners in the Castle of Palliano are all considered as political offenderP, and amount in number to several hundreds, confined in separate cells, each containing twelve individuals, who are only allowed to see the inmates 9f other cells dur ing the hour allotted to exercise. The plan of operations appears to have been concocted during these occasional meetings.

GitosvErroit s - id he was informed that the military bands that played in the parks on Sunday complained of being compelled to work en that day. (Hear, and cries of " No.") His duty in life was that a man on every seventh day should have a holyday, and to,compel a man under mili tary law to work on that day was nothing less than gross tyranny. (Loud cheers.) Mr. HANBURY then a'ldressod the electors, and was greeted with great applause. An ELECTOR-Will you vote for the ballot Mr. HANBratv—lf that measure be brought be fore Parliament I will vote for it. (Cheers.) A Voice—What about the 70,0001. which is to be voted to the Princes Royal on her marriage ? Answer that, Lord Robert. Lord R. GROSVENOR said he Ind heard nothing about it. All he could say was that if such a pro position was brought before the House of Commons he must ascertain the reason for propo :ing it be fore he could give any answer. (Cheers and laughter.) A Voice—Mr. Banbury, will you vote for the extension of the franchise 1 Mr. HAIVBIIRY sa'd he should vote for Mr. Locke King's motion. The next resolution wai agreed to. GREENWICH. There is now a third candidate for the represen tation of this borough. Yesterday Mr. J. Towns end, undertaker, Greenwich, issued an address offering himself to the electors. Mr. Alderman SALOMANS has issued an address, in which he declines to coaest the borough. • • BEDFORD. The Liberal patty, determined to put at end to the system of equal representation, one Wh;g, one Tory," have brought out Mr. Thos. Barnard, in conjunction with Mr. Samuel Whitbread, the Liberal member in the late Parliament., Captain Stuart, the Tory candidate, has been carrying on an active canvass. Mr. E. T. Smith, the lessee of Drury-lane, has left Bridport and put up for Bedford, as a Radical. Ile has received large promises of support. A meeting was held on Monday night at the Assem bly-rooms, which were thoroughly crowded. Mr. SKENE, who was called to the chair, intro duced "the Man of the People," and announced amid peals of laughter and loud applause, that his name was " Smith." Mr. E. T. &ma addressed the meeting. After promising to remedy the abuses of the Bedford Coarity, Mr. Smith amiounced himself in favour of the ballot and a liberal extension of the suffrage, as he maintained that every honest man had a right to the franchise. He was also for an extensive re form in the army. In obedience to the call of honest mon who had waited upon him he had de termined to come down and fight their cause at Bedfori, and bad left Brjdport, where he was cer tain to be returned. He had, however, come to Bedford ; he had nailed his colours to the mast, should came to the poll, and remain until he had polled the last man. (Cheers, and mewing in imitation of cats, probably iu reference to the an nouncement that Mr. Smith would " let the cat out of the bag.") Several pFnons who had accompanied Mr. Smith from London addressed the meeting as Radicals. They extolled Mr. Smith in the highest terms as, a pure Radical, a thorough philanthrop;st, a gene rous master over a thousand admiring dependents, and a thorough hardworker—one who always did two"days' work in one. AO ELECTOR objected to the latter qualification, on the ground that it would make work scarce in Bedford, and there was none too much to do now. A resolution, approving of Mr. Smith as a fit and proper person to represent Bedford, was moved by Mr. Dines, a Rad'cal, and seconde i by Mr. Baxter, a Tory. The resolution was carried amidst applause. SHEFFIELD. Every day furnishes fresh evidence of the severe nature of the struggle for the second seat for this borough. Tory canvassers ate in every district endeavouring to obtain split votes for Roebuck and Overend, as against Mr. Hadfield. ISLE OF WU:MT.—There are now three candidates in the field, Charles Cavendish Clifford, Esq., pri vate secretary to Lord Palmerston ;R. ynne Williams, Esq., and Thomas Willis Fleming, Esq. The first has made a successful canvas of the elec..- tors, the second has published an addreas to them, and the third has lectured them for not supporting his friend Colonel Harcourt, which has so pleased his Tory admirers that they have determined on starting him for the island. They lately held a meeting at the Tory head-quarters (the Star Inn, Newport)—Roscoe Sheddeu, Esq., in the chair— formed a central committee, and commenced a can vas of the farmers attending the market. NEWPORT. —Alderman - Willi:nu A. Rose, of Qucenhithe, bas joined his iortunes with R. W. Kennard, Esq., of Porchesterierrace, Hyde -park, and the Liberals have starts n Captain Charles Edward Mangles, and Charles Buxton, Esq. Both parties express themselves perfectly satisfied with their canvas, and profess themselves to be confident of success.

Dr. Lushington, in giving judgment, all t rWed tee communion table, which is of wood and moveable, to remain, and also the candlesticks ; but he de creed the removal of the cross, the credence table, and the cloths. With regard to St. Barnabas, a monition was obtained on the 17th January, 18i5, against Mr. Liddell and the Churehwartiees to re • move the rood. screen and brazen g a tes, together with the cross elevated and fixed on toe said screen, and also the stone altar and the cloths now - used for covering the same, and the cross ornamented with jewels elevated thereon, and fixed thereto, with the candlewicks and candles, and also the marble ere deutia, and to set up on the east end of the chancel the Ten Cemmaniments. Dr. Ltusaington, in givingjudgment on this Case, orde'ei the removal of the stone altar or table, together with the cre dence table, the trots on the screen, and the cross on the table, and the coloured cloths. Beth these suits came by appeal before the Court of 'Arches, and as they involved the same principles of law they were argued - and decided together. Tue Dean of Arches—Sir John Dodson—affirmed the judgment of Dr. Lushington r condemning the ape'.- lasts in the costs. On the subject of crosses, Sir John Dodson and Dr. Lushingtou differe 1, inas much as the former classed them under images and. the latter under ornaments, but both came to the same cenelusion as to their removal. But the Ju dicial Committee have taken broader ground. They hold that by ornaments is meant all those articles the use of which is enjoined by the Prayer-book of Edward VI. The term ornaments is not confined in ecclesiastical law to articles of decoration, but is taken pro qu,ocumque dpparato seu implemento —vestments - books, cloths, bells, organs, and the like. —vestments, the Rubric, inserted in the Prayer-book from the Statute Ist Elizabeth, cap. 2, when it speaks of such ornaments continuing in use as were in use by authority of Parliament in the second year of Edward VI., adopt'S the word orna ments as covering both the vestments of the minis ters, and the several articles used in the services, and is confined to such things as in the perform ance of the service the ministers were to use. But none of these could- have any reference to articles not used in the services, but set up in churches as decorations ; therefore their lordships have decidel that although the Rubric excludes all use of crosses in the service, the general question of crosses not used in the service is unaffected by the Rubric. No olkjecti‘m, theti, to dosses on the score ef ornament can be sustained. Are they then forbidden under the word images, as Sir J. Dodson thinks/ Tueir lordships rule that they are not, hut that, on the contrary, " crosses, as distinguished from cruci ' fixes, have been in use from the earliest periods of Christianity ; that when used as mere emblems of the faith, and not as objects of superstitious reve rence, they may still be lawfully erected as archi tectural decorations in churches ; that the wooden cross erected on the chancel screen of St. Barnabas is to be considered as a mere architectural orna ment ; and that, as to this article, they must ad vise her Majesty to reverse the judgment com e plained of." This decision, however, dos not apply to the crosses fixed upon the communion tables at St. Paul and St. Barnabas, which are afterwards dealt with. The communion table comes next under review. The Cuutt Jays great stress upon the words, alt .r and communion table, as marking a great distinction bet A een the doctrine of the Church of England and Rome on the subject of the Lord's Supper. Revert ing to ancient precedent and the history and changes of the law on this subject, their lordships are satis fied that the judgment in the well-known case of Faulkner v. Lichfield ought to remain, and, there fore, that the stone altar at St. Barnabas be removed. and a wooden one substituted, and that the 'cross fixed to it, and also to the one at St. Paul's, be re moved, as making in it such an alteration as re moves it out of the definition of a table in the ea-. cleWastical sense. On the subject of credence tables, their lordships rule that they are to remain, - as being merely unobjectionable "side tables from which the elements may be conveniently -reached by the minister, and at the proper time transf reed. to the communion table." The embroidered cloths for the communion tables are not to be interfered. with. Tne canon on which Dr. Lushington and. others relied, as requiring only one cloth, being held by their lordships to have only the intention of securing a handsome • tie, and not to guard agaiat t having one of too much splendour. The embroi dered linen and lace are to be disu,el as not faeling within the definition o/ a "flit-linen cloth." The dei-ion of the Court below as to costs is reversed. Both pat tam in both suits are to bear their own. Such is the substance of this important judgment. It will be seen that it is a victory for the appellants on all the points but two—the stone altar and. cross on it and the lace. We trust that in its effects upon the Church this long-expected decision may be the harbinger of peace. It will now be seen what is in sceordar es with the spirit of the Reformation and what is not. The hitherto uncertain state of the law—uncertain because undeclared—has embarrassed both clergy and laity. The absence of positive and direct autho rity in the matter of Church decoration, and some points of ritual observance, has thrown many upon the r.sources - of their own private judgment, and so some with an antiquarian bent have desired , the restoration of this ; others given up to archit.:ctlral inquiries have sought the adoption of that. Some have desired a florid, others a sample, celebration of Divine worship ; and the lovers of a plain and the admirers of a decorated churclt have striven together, often not in the nao_st-seem'y spirit, for victory. But the points that have h emn determined in these Knightsbridge suits ought to go far towards preventing the like want of unity and confidence in future, since A is now rulei by the highest authority in the land both what the law is and what are the ,rounds of it. It only re mains for all parties to accept this final decision w ith a good grace. Let the clergy take care how they strain its permissions too far, and the laity how they complain too readily of the adoption of this or that practice, ornament, or custom, 1.0 long as it remains sancti one d b y the law. Mr. Wester ton and his party, w h o h ave ma d e th e mselves no torious by their indecent interference on various occasions with the solemnities of Divine worship, will do well to practise for the future a less obtru sive, cours e , an d t o t a k e c are how, _under the clo t a h e c of zeal for lit urg ical pur ity, theytransgress limits of the i ee that vaunteth not itself, is not e, puffed up, and (loth not b e have itself unseemly.
