-~ `*""w IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS.-FP.IDAY 'IL The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat at five o'clock. LAW OF EVIDENCE The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of the Evidence in Foreign States Bill, explained that the measure was introduced at the suggestion of the Foreign Secretary, and that its object was to authorise the examination of witneQses in this country, in reference to suits pending in foreign courts of justice, The bill was read a second time.

The Grand Juries Bill, and the Survey of Great Britain &e., Bill, were respectively read a third time and pa.ted. The Small Debt Imprisonment Act Amendment (Scot land) Bill. passed through committee.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY, The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock NEW WRIT, On the motion of Mr. HATTER a new writ was ordered for Jalne in the room of the Earl of Shelburne, who has accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. INCOME TAX CLERIC 3. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Mr. T. llankey, said it was his intention to bring in a bill to alter the salaries of clerks employed in the collection of the income tax. LIABILITY OF GOODS CARRIERS Ti answer to Mr. `PADDINGTON, Sir G. GREY said that a bill that passed not long ago fixed unlimited liability upon goods carriers in regard to goods conveyed by them. A deputation had waited upon him on the subject, t amplaining of the law, and the government were laqw considering what remedy could be provided. THE BISHOPRIC OF NEW ZEALAND On the motion for adjournment of the House to Monday , !" Sir J. PAKINGTON Enquired whether it was the intention of the government to make any arrangements for restoring to the Bishop of New Zealand the moderate and necessary income of '6OO per annum, which was provided for him when he first accepted the position he had so well filled. Mr. LABOUCIIERE eulogised the conduct of the Bishop Selwyn, but declined to take the responsibility of renewing the salary, as it had been withdrawn in fulfilment of a pledge given by Sir John Pakington while Lord Derby's government held office. Every effort had been made to induce the legislature of New Zealand to provide for the continuance of the salary to the Bishop during his lifetime, but they objected to do so, refusing, as a matter of principle, to support clergymen of uny denomination to the exclusion of those of other denominations, and he did not think there was any prospect of their changing that decision. He did not apprehend, however, that the bishop woultl suffer in pecuniary circumstances, as clergy men of tb.e Church of England had been exerting them selves tv d create new bishoprics, and no doubt he would be provided for. 7.1 r. GLADSTONE considered that the pledge given by Sir John Pakington ought not to be set aside, but at the same time he admitted that Bishop Selwyn had been unfairly dealt by, and while disputing the policy of sup porting colonial bishops out of English funds, he thought in this instance the House should use its influence with the Government to procure the restoration of the salary. Mr. W. WILLIAMS deprecated a renewal of the grant. Mr. DIS'IABLI thought. that the question should be treated as concerning the individual and without reference to the maintenance n'f the church in the colonies, and argued in favour of a, renewal of the payment. Sir G. GREY anc!, Mr. ROEBUCK objected to a renewal of the grant, The subject then dropped. MILITARY PROFESSOR AT EDINBURGH. In answer to Mr. COWAN, Mr. P'EPT., said there was no intention to suppress the chair OS military surgery at the University of Edinburgh. IRISH CONSTABULARY. 'Mr. S. O'BRIEN drew attention to the compensation allowed paymasters of Constabulary in Ireland on the abolition of their offices, and complained that the allow ance was inadequate and illiberal. Sir D. NORREYS considered that the Irish paymasters had been harshly treated. Lord MoricK Said he could hold out no hope of the decision of the treasury on the subject being reversed. Lord NAAS supported the views of Mr. O'Brien. The subject then dropped. THE NEWS PROM THE CAPE. Mr. LIDDELL, referring to the reports in the public papers of disturbances on the frontiers of the Cape colo nies, enquired whether any steps had been taken to rein force the military stations there, which, up to a recent time, had been very insufficiently garrisoned. Lord PAr.IeERSTON replied that yesterday's accounts had been received from the Cape, in which no mention was made of actual disturbances, but apprehension was expressed. The authorities had taken every measure in their power to guard against any outbreak. There had been some disturbance between the Dutch settlers and the natives, and an extension was apprehended. The motion for the adjournment to Monday was then agreed to. SUPPLY. The report of the committee of supply was brought up and agreed to. CHURCH BUILDING COMMISSION BILL. The Church Building Commission Bill was read a third time and passed. PARINEESHIP LAW AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Partner ship Amendment Bill, Mr. MUNTZ moved, as an amendment. that the House should go into committee that day three months. A discussion ensued, in the course of which the motion for going into committee was supported by Mr. Biggs, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Malin% Mr. Bass, Lord Palmerston, Mr. Lowe, the Lord Advocate, and Mr. W. S. Lindsay, and opposed by Mr. Spooner, Mr. Glyn, Mr. Crossley, Mr. G. Butt, Mr. Thos. Baring, and Mr. Cardwell. The chief ground of objection was, that the bill provided limited liability without publicity, contrary to the recom mendation of the select committee. Ultimately, upon a division, there appeared— For going into committee 75 Against it hi Majority 14 w. The House accordingly went into committee P: On clause three, Mr. GREGSON moved an amendment . the object of which was to provide that, in cases of insol_ peney and bankruptcy, p ersons lending money to a com any on condition of receiving a share in the profits, shall not he able to recover till all the other creditors shall have been satisfied. This amendment, on a division, was adopted by 83 to 80. The other clauses and the preamble were agreed to, and the bill was reported. PARoctriAL sCnOOLS (SCOTLAND) The third reading of the Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill was opposed by Sir M. S. Stewart, but was carried on a divisi . m, by 149 votes to 79 —Majority, 70.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the applica- tion for the Chiltern Hundreds had been made, and it would therefore be premature to make a statement. The other business was postponed, and the House adjourned at half past one o'clock. THE "TIMES" CORRESPONDENCE AT FAULT COURT OF COMMON PLEAS 4ITII V -YtSTERDA'r ti ARRiSON This was an action brought by the paintiff, an agent and manager in the service of Messrs. Buckmaster, the army clothiers, against The Times newspaper, for an munication from the Crimea, and Constantinople, in which it was stated that the plaintiff had been dining ou had so far forgotten himself as to enter into a pugilistic encounter, upon which he was introduced to the provost alleged libel contained in "our own correspondent's " com marshal, and received 20 lashes.

BANQUET TO SIR COLIN CAMPBELL On Wednesday night Major-general Sir Colin Campbell was entertained at a public dinner in the City-hall by the inhabitants of Glasgow. It was altogether one of the most brilliant occasions which has taken place in the west. of Scotland. In all there were about 1,000 persons pre sent, including a gay party of ladies, who were accom mollated in the gallery. The Lord Provost filled the chair, supported right and left by Sir Colin Campbell, Sir Archibald Alison (the historian), Lieutenant-colonel S , Ming, the Rev. Principal Macfarlan, Sir John Maxwell, of Pollok ; Sir William Maxwell, of Calderwood, and many others. The usual loyal toasts having been given, The Lord Provost then called for a special bumper to the health of General Sir Colin Campbell. the youngest burgess. (Cheers) The toast was drunk with thQ utmost enthusiasm. Sir Colin Campbell was received with immense applause. He said—After an absence from Scotland of 52 years, T am now come back once more to receive the hithest honour which a large body of my countrymen are able to pay me. This is the most valuable reward, besides whit is felt in a man's own conscience, that it is possible to give ; and, believe me, if I cannot reply to your kind and enthusiastic reception with the skill of a practised orator, my thanks come no less true from my heart, because they are clothed in homely language. (Cheers.) I have served in all parts of the world for three-fourths of the period allotted to a man's life, but my fortune and my name have become principally known to you from the accident of my being appointed to command that glorious Highland Brigade. (Cheers.) To those valliant soldiers I owe the honour and the happiness of seeing you this day and of being your youngest burgess, for which honour, and for all your kindness, I beg to return my thanks. Sir A. Alison, in an eloquent speech, proposed the toast " Her Majesty's Allies, the Emperor of the French, and their Majesties the Sultan and the King of Sardinia." Sir Cohn Campbell then gave 4. The Lord Provost, Magistrates, Town Council, and prosperity to the city of Glasgow." He said :—From my absence in foreign countries, I have until now never seen the grandeur of Glasgow. Hearsay only told me of its growth and magnificence, but the reality surpasses the report. For the kindness shown to me by the Lord Provost, the Magistrates, and Town Council I can never be thank . _ fur enough. Even in the streets I have seen no face that did not smile a welcome (cheers) ; and no one can give from his heart, as I do now, the toast of the Lord Provost, the Magistrates, the Town Council, and all prosperity to the city of Glasgow, with greater sincerity. The toast was received with applause. Dr. Gillam proposed " Lieutenant Colonel Sterling and Sir Colin Campbell's Staff ;" to which Colonel Sterling responded in a spirited speech. The evening was spent with unsurpassed festivity. WEST COAST OF AFRICA The mail packet Gambia arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning. Her dates are as follows :—Old Calabar, May 25 ; Fernando Po and Cameroons, 26th ; Bmny, 28th ; Lagos, June Ist; Accra, 3rd ; Cape Coast, sth ; Sierra Leone, 14th ; Goree, 1 Bth ; Madeira, 26th. At Cameroons trade was biisk, and the rivers healthy. Oil is scarce at Old Calabar. The colony of Sierra Leone is healthy ; trade dull; and merchants will find great difficulty in fulfilling their contracts. A number of ships are awaiting cargoes at Bathurst. ARRIVAL OF THE GUARDS PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY MORNING. Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal has arrived, with the Scots Fusilier Guards, arid the steam transport Orinoco, with the 2nd Dragoons, and other cavalry and artillery. _ . The - Guaris land this morning and proceed in special trains to Aldershott.

Until her Majesty fixes the day the Brigade will re main at Aldershot[. MADAME VESTRIS.-This popular and highly gifted actress, who has for some time been suffering from most severe indisposition, will shortly take a farewell benefit, previous to her retirement from the stage. ROYAL BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.—On. Thursday last, whilst Edmond's (late Wombwell's) Menagerie was on its way from Leslie to Lochgelly, Fifeshire, a distance of eight mites, a lioness, in the interior of one of the vans, gave birth to four very fine cubs, by the celebrated Lion, Wallace, which are all alive and doing well. The same lioness gave birth to three cubs, two males and one female, on the Ist of Nevember last, at Doncaster, in Yorkshire, which are also doing well. POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.) SHIPPING SEAMEN WITHOUT A LICENSE.--MT Tyndall appeared on behalf of the Board of Trade in support of an information against a man named George Mackay, for shipping seamen without a license, contrary to the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act. There was a second information against him, for receiving money for the same. The defendant did not appear. It appeared that on the 2nd of this month, a seaman named John Who *as called and examined, went to the defendant's office, in It public-house in Park-lane, in search of a ship. The defendant directed him to go to the captain of the Persia, and when he shipped on board that vessel in the course of the day, and signed articles at the Sailors' Home, he returned to the defendant's office, obtained his advance note, and paid him his fee of 2s 6d. Mr. Tyndall pressed that the full penalty might be imposed in this case, as the piaaice or 6bippibg seamen without a license still prevailed to a very great extent in Liverpool. Mr. Mansfield observed,that the ob ject cf Sailors' Homes was to prevent seamen from being plundered by " crimps," and it was to be regretted that they did not always make use of the advantages which the " Homes" afforded them. In both informations the full penalty was imposed—X2o in the first, and £5 in the second case. INTERESTING TO ARCHITECTS AND B IIILDERS.—kr. Mansfield gave judgment this day in the case of the informations laid by .the building surveyor of the Health Committee against Mr. Samuel Heinle, the ,younger, and others, for laying the joists of a building (the St. Peter's Schools, now in course of erection in Everton), more than eleven inches apart, contrary to the provisions of the Building Act. Mr. Mansfield, after reviewing the circumstances of the case, said that he was of opinion that the joists were clearly more than the prescribed width apart, but that though the requirements of the act were not complied with, they were yet substantially so. The object of the act was the security of buildings, and in this instance, he considered that not only did the joists as at present laid afford full and complete security to the building, but that it was more secure than it could be made by having them now taken up and other joists placed within the prescribed and, there fore, as the defendants alleged, to compel them to do that would simply he to cause great expense and to accomplish no useful purpose whatever. According to the letter of the act, it was certainly competent for the prosecution to call on him to order the floor to be pulled up, and to have another floor substituted in its place, but after careful consideration, he had made up his mind not to be a party to such ridiculous folly. Admit ting that the case had been made out under the words Of the act, he should yet refuse to make the order, and should leave it to the prosecution to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench for a Illandcimus to compel them to Make the alteration. CHABOB OF RAPR BY A POLICE OFFICER.-=Benjamin Forsyth, a constable in the Liverpool police force, was placed in the dock charged with having committed a rape on Sarah Boardman, a middle-aged married woman, in her own house on the evening of Friday last. The prisoner lodged in the house, and it appeared from the testimony of the prosecutrix that on the evening in question he followed her into the passage and committed the alleged olience. She did not tell her husband of the occurrence jinni a week afterwards, and then under very peculiar circumstances. Mr. Block defended the prisoner. Mr. Mansfield was of opinion that the case could not be sustained before a jury, and ordered the prisoner to be discharged. , COLLISION IN THE RIVER—CLAIM FOR DAMAGE.-Mr. Henry Nicholls, owner of the Eastham Fairy steamer, applied to make a claim against Messrs. Hetherington for injury done to his boat by the steamer Ant, of which they are the proprietors, coming into collision with her. Mr. Bretherton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendants. Both boats left the landing stage on the evening of the 18th June—the Ant for Rock Ferry, and the Fairy for Eastham, and came into collision almost immediately afterwards. A large number of witnesses were examined on both sides. The bench held that the Fairy was in her proper course, and ordered that the defendants should pay £l4, being the amount of the damage, with costs. (BEFORX MR. HAMILTON.) PUBLICANS AND BEEBHOUSS CASES.—The following publicans and beerhouse keepers were summoned for various infringements of the Sunday trading act. John C. Groven, publican, Lawrence Street. This case was dismissed. Edward Griffiths, publican, Lime Street. This was for keeping his house open for the sale of spirits, after the hour of eleven o'clock on Sunday night. Mr. Rymer appeared for the defendant. As it was not proved that any sale took place after eleven o'clock, the case was dismissed. Daniel Fayle, publican, Raffles Street. This case was also dismissed. George Frazer, publican, Bolton Street, was summoned for refusing to admit the police. The case was proved and the defend ant was fined 20s and costs. Jane Rroilsworth, publican, of 34, Lime Street, was summoned for having permitted drunkenness in her house at one o'clock in the morning. At the time the police visited the house, there were eight men, and the same number of prosti tutes, all of whom were quarrelling. Mrs. Harrison, who stated she was conducting the business for the defendant, denied the statement made by the police. Fined 20s and costs. Jane Wilkerson, publican, of Copperas Hill, was summoned for permitting drunken- ness in her house at five o'clock in the morning, of the 26th ult. The offence was proved, and the defendant was fined 20s and costs. Jacob Garlick, publican, of Hygeia Street, was summoned for permitting drunken ness in his house, on the 27th ult. This case was proved, and the defendant was fined 20s and costs. James Barr, a beerhouse keeper, of Kensington, was summoned for keeping his house open after eleven o'clock. Fined 2s 6d and costs. William Randall, beerhouse keeper, of Peach Street, for the same offence, was fined in the Ile sum. William Murray, beerhouse keeper, of Bolton S . reet, was summoned for the same offence, but the case was dismissed. Peter Moore, beerhouse keeper, Edgar -street. For refusing to admit the police, was fined 108 and costs. William Nicholson, beerhouse keeper, Denbigh Street, was fined 20s and costs for the same offence. John Griffith, beerhouse keeper, Back Stanley Street (Bootle), for permitting beer to be drunk on his premises on the Sunday. Fined 2s Gd and costs.

Cardinal Wiseman has arrived in Paris, The Imperial decree declares that flax and hemp tow destined for making sails, shall be added to the list of articles allowed to be imported free. The Under-Secretaryship of State for the Foreign Office remains vacant ; but we have no hesitation in reiterating our former statement, that Mr. Layard, M.P., will be appointed.—Chronicle. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We deeply re gret to announce the occurrence of a sad accident which took plaee in the Lough, off Carrickfergus, on Tuesday. It appears that Lieutenant Donnellan and two gunners of the Royal Antrim Artillery corps, went out on the Lough to enjoy a boating excursion, when, owing to some misad venture, the boat capsised and sunk, when Lieutenant Donnellan and one of the men were drowned ; the other man was fortunately saved. THE TIPPERARY BANK,—MR. JAMES SADLEIR, M.P.— The Limerick Chronicle says that there is reason to believe in the correctness of a report which has been circulated to the effect that Mr. James Sadleir, M.P. for Tipperary, and director of the Tipperary Joint SI ock Bank, has been able to elude any criminal proceedings which his con nexion with that notorious swindle might entail. It is added that he got into a yacht near Kingstown in the presence of two detectives under whose surveillance he was, and that the policemen waited in vain for his return, as the yacht was met off Dublin harbour by an emigrant ship. in which he proceeded to America KING LEOPOLD'S VISIT TO ENGLAND.—It is said that the visit of the King of the Belgians to this country is connected with the future government of Greece. The present dynasty, according to the settlement of the treaty of the three powers, England, France, and Russia, has finished itself—King Otho has no children—his bro ther refusing to comply with the conditions of the suc cession in becoming a member of the Greek Church, or even undertaking to brine up any child he may have in that faith. Therefore, it is reported among diplomatists that a new settlement of the throne of Greece is immi nent. There has been, for some time, afloat a suggestion that the Count of Flanders, the second son of the King of ►he Belgians, should be providetl with a throne. Hence, it is stated, the appearance of his Majesty to a family conclave in this country. MURDER IN IRELAND.—A barbarous murder was com mitted near Ro.crea, on Monday evrning, a respectable farmer, named William Curran, baying been shot dead in his own house, while sitting down to supper, the assassin having fired at him through the parlour window. It appears, according to a correspondent of Saunders's News letter, that the deceased got married to a second wife a couple of months ago. Ills first, with his mother-in-law, were drowned when returning with the deceased from a Party at her father's house on the 12th of December last. The second marriage did not please his former wife's friends, and caused an unfriendly feeling. This, it is alleged, is the cause of his murder. The deceased, who was a tenant on the estate of Colonel Lloyd Gloster, was in the prime of life, and in very comfortable circumstances. An inquest was held on the body by B. Toy Midgley, Esq., coroner, when the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. COUNTY COURT.-YESTERDAY Sit. T. S. Raffles, Esq , presided in this court yesterday, in the absence of Mr. Joseph Pollock. DAVIi v. CLOUGH.—In thiS case, the plaintiff was a young woman, named Jemima Davis, and the defendant, Mr. Robert P. Clough, superintendent of the detective department of police. The action was brought to recever a sum of £2 13s, being the amount of the plaintiff's expense to and from Ireland. Mr. M‘Gowan appeared for Mr. Clough; The statement of the plaintiff, was to the effect that, aboiit ten months ago, she was robbed by a servant of £9 in gold, and £4 in silver. She applied to the detective department, and gave information of the robbery. About eight months after, she was informed by one of the detective force, that a woman had been arrested in Galway, who was supposed to be the party who had committed the robbery. She was told that it would be necessary for her to go over to identify the prisoner. She said she did not like to leave her busi ness, upon which the officer told het she had better see Mr. Clough. She went to Mr. Cforigh, and she stated that Mr. Clough told her he would pay her expenses, provided the woman in custody turned out to be the party who had committed the robb. ry. She then agreed to go, and Mr. Clough sent an officer to accompany her. She identified the woman in Galway, and the result was, that the latter was brought to Liverpool, tried in St. George's Hall, and convicted. Oti applying for her eXperiseS to and from Ireland, she was refused, and told that she had no claim to them: The present action was accordingly brought to recover the amount from Mr. Clough. A boy, named Ebenezer Thompson. who was present with the plaintiff in the detective office, stated that he heard Mr. Clough say he would pay the plaintiff's expenses, if the woman was the right party. Mr. M'Gowan stated, on the part of Mr. Clough, that the latter told plaintiff distinctly, she must pay her own expenses, but he consented that an officer should occom• pany her, inasmuch as if the woman turned out to be the right party, she should be brought over from Ireland by some officer, so that it Would amount to the same thing if a Liverpool officer went over. Mr. M - Gowan remarked that. it would be an iwolerable burthen to the public, if the expenses of every party who conceived he could identify a prisoner, were to be paid by the borough. His Honour said there could be no doubt that nothing; could be more unusual than such an arrangement, and faith his knowledge of the manner in which the business of the detective department was conducted, he could not help thinking that the action must have originated in a misunderstanding on the part of the plaintiff. Mr. Clough was examined, and dis tinctly deposed that he told the plaintiff she must pay her own expenses. She expressed some objection to going into Ireland alone, being an unmarried woman, upon which he consented to send an officer with her Upon the grounds stated by Mr. M`Gowan already. Mr. M'Clowan said that there were officers in court who could confirm the statement of Mr. Clough. Mr. Clough said he conceived that the misunderstanding of the plaintiff and the young man must have arisen from the fact of his having stated that the expense of bringing over the prisoner, if she should appear to be the right party, would be defrayed by him. His Honour said he felt no doubt that the action arose from a mis underst 'riding on the part of the plaintiff. A verdict was acecordingly given for the defence. His Honour You do not want costs, I suppose, Mr. Clough ? Mr. Clough : No, certainly not—if she were to offer them I would not accept them. A large number of unimpor tant cases were disposed of during the day, and the court rose at five o'clock.

MISSING Slurs.— On Friday a notice was posted at Lloyd's referring to three ships which had for some time been missing, an which there is too much reason to be lieve have foundered, and every soul belonging to them perished : —The ship Adams, (formerly the Stanley Cacique), commanded by Captain Fitzsimons, sailed from Bombay on the Ist of last December, with a rich cargo for London, and has not since been heard of. The next unfortusate missing ship is the City of Montreal, a Glasgow built iron vessel, 812 tons register, commanded by Captain Guthrie ; she sailed from Liverpool on the 2od of April last, for Quebec, and was spoken with on the 24th of the same month in lat. 45, long. 47, sir' which not the least tidings have been heard of her is supposed to have gone down, her crew, forty - ; she perishing in he r .

J. B. LOWE TO " VERAX !" TO THE EDITOR 07 THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—Tn your paper of July 2nd, " Observer" ago " Vertu " this question '' Does Michaelis countenance the very theory, of inspi ration being wholly distinct from infallibility, which is the churacteri,tic of lifcconaught on Inspiration 1' I ?pl7, Michaelis does countenance this theory, as may be ;en by any reader who will refer to " Michaelis' [able work," already quoted by me from p. 96, vol. I. of the edition of 1793. In dealing with the discrepancies of the gospels, Michaelis perceived that the choice lay before him, of either denying the inspiration of Mark and Luke, or " taking the word inspiration in such a sense as " not " to include infallibility." He preferred the former course ; but, by gravely proposing the alternative referred to, th.) scholar like 'Michaelis showed that his mind was for a time in doubt whether or not to include the idea of infallibility in the term inspiration. Fie considered either alternative preferable to the notion now advocated Lowe, and so he countenanced the theory which is tiiaracteristic of Mac naught on _lnspiration. . I have, thus, sir, given a plain answer to " Observer's'il question ; and if Mr. Lowe will reply with equal plaindesd to the queries I addressed to him in your impressions of the 22nd and 28th ultimo, your readers will be enabled to abate the suspicions which have been raised by Mr, Lowe's ominous silence with reference to the following points : 1. Does Mr. Lowe consider " the Spirit of the truth, i.e., the Spirit of Christ's revelation" an " uncritical" change in the translation of John xiv, xvii ? If so—will Mr. Lowe state the grounds of lis objection to this change of transla tion ? If not—why did Mr. Lowe call it an " uncritical " change in his fifth letter to the Courier ? Whether this change of translation be critical or " uncritical," will Mr. Lowe be so good as to explain how he is justified in his inference, that they, who (like Bishop Hinds, and '• every owl who understands the original") adopt this most uncritical change " in the translation, throw overboard the personality " of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter?" 2. Will Mr. Lowe state what words or sentences of llaenaught on Inspiration interpret " THE COMFORTZR to signify merely the " spiritual meaning of the Gospel 7" These questions, sir, press on Mr. Lowe's attention, not because they are the only ones of a similar character which are suggested by Mr. Lowe's seven long, and, as yet, unf• nished letters, but, because, until these questions shall be plainly and satisfactorily answered, Mr. Lowe's fairness as a critic, and his competence as a scholar, are known to be at stake. I will only add that, if " Observer," or any of your reader', will peruse Mr. Lowe's fifth letter to the Courier, it will be obvious how the strange misprint of a small letter for the capital is combined with " an absurd charge of uncritical change of translation in order to support Mr. Lowe in wilfully drawing an inference which he knew to be unjust'• —Yours, &c., VERAX. July, 1856. staten and on Mr. Russell, The Ti.,iu pondent, who was then in this country, being applied to, he could give no explanation as to how the paragraph Mr. Smith, who was in the confidential of Messrs. Buckrnaster, at a salary of £BOO a appeared employment .ear, having been sent to Constantinople and the Crimea, to look after the ordi s and clothing of the officers theres y was offered by The Times, coni- finding that no apolog ced the present action. An apology subsequently appeared by way of explana- ergeant Shee having addressed the jury on the part of the defendant, Mr. Justice Willes carefully summed up the whole case, drawing their , n to what were the real facts and whether the ekplanation or apology was sufficient to deprive the plaintiff of the right to recover damages for the libel published against him. At the conclusion of the learned Judge's summing The Jury, after being absent upwards of an hour, re turned a verdict for the plaintiffs—damages £400., with the addenda, that the jury were of opinion that the apologylwas neither timely nor satisfactory. A BISHOP PREACHING IN THE OPEN AIR.-011 Sunday week the Bishop of Sodor and Man, the Hon. H. Powys, D.D., late of Warrington, was announced to preach on behalf of the schools connected with the church of Kirk Braddan, situated nearly two miles from Douglas, in the Isle of Man. So large a congregation assembled, that a great number could not gain admit tance, and at the close of the communion service, an adjournment took place to the churchyard ; where the bishop, duly robed, mounted upon a chair on a tomb stone, and addressed the assembly. The people were delighted. INQUESTS.—lnquests were held yesterday by the borough coroner, P. F. Curry, Esq., on the body of a boatman, named Joseph Hermitage, who was drowned with two other men by the upsetting of a boat off the bar about a fortnight ago.—On the body of a boy, aged 14, named Edward Sheridan, who was accidentally killed on Thursday evening, in Old Hall-street, by being crushed between two lorries while drawing a hand cart.—On the body of a woman, aged 40, named Mary Tottey, who was accidentally killed yesterday morning, at the foot of St. John's-lane, by being run over by a cart loaded with potatoes. A verdict in accordance with the fa is was returned in each case. THE FXPORTS OF LrvEuroor..—The merchants of Liver pool will doubtless hive perceived, by the B ll of Entry, of the 3rd first., that the value of the British goods exported from this port in the half year, ended 30th June last, amounted to no less a sum than £25,941,706, so that the exports of Liverpool now reach the enormous value of one million pounds sterling per week. The statistical accounts which now continually appear in the Liverpool Bill of Entry, have rendered that publication of great interest, especially to the port of Liverpool; and as these details cart only be produced by much lab :cur, care, and attention, on the part of the customs' authorities, we have the more pleasure in ac'mowledging the source from which we derive our information. MISCONDUCT BY A. CoNSTABLE.---PoliCe officer Beckett, No 99, who was charged at the police court, by Superin tendent Ride, was fined 40s for misconduct. On the 9th June he wrote a letter to the Head Constable, reflecting on the character of Inspector Gardiner, and when reprimanded and fined by Major Greig fur this, he asked to be allowed to resign. lie was refused, and told that he should serve out his time ; and then he declared that he would perform his duty in such a manner as would lead to his resignation. He was sub seqoently found drunk in a publichouse in Vauxhall road, Not th, while on duty. He now expressed regret for his conduct, and stated that he had written the letter while labouring under a strong feeling of irritation at what lie considered was oppressive conduct towards him by Inspector Gardiner. ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL LANCASHIRE RIFLES.—Last evening, from an early hour, the locality of the London and North Western i.tation, Lime-street, was the scene of great, excitement, thousands of our population having turned out to receive this distinguished corps. It was expected that they would have arrived by the seven o'clock train, but, from some unforseen circumstances which occurred on the line, they did not reach the terminus until after nine o'clock. hinge this regiment was first embodied, they have been stationed at Glasgow, from whence they arrived, and where they, by their good conduct, have gained the universal esteem of the inhabitants of that important city. No sooner had the train emerged from the tunnel, than three most Marty cheers were given by the assembled multitude to welcome their arrival. Iu a very short time the men, numbering about 400, were formed into line, and then headed by their excellent band, and their esteemed com manding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Hesketh, Bart., they were marched to the Everton barricks, followed by a numerous concourse of perms, who repeatedly cheered them on their march. It is expected that the regiment will remain at these quarters for a few days, when they will be disembodied. The second division will arrive from Glasgow this day. MANSLAUGHTER AT MANCHESTER.—An inquest was held on Wednesday afternoon, by Mr. Herford, the coroner for the city of Manchester, on the body of a man who has not been identified, and who seemed to be about 50 years of age. The first witness was Christopher Deakin, who said he was in a tobacconist's shop in Angel-street, Rochdale Road, about 12 o'clock on Tuesday night, when his attention was drawn to a sound of blows outside, as if given with a heavy instrument. On going out he saw three men in their shirt-sleeves, about 30 yards from the shop door, who appeared to be kicking something which lay on the ground. He went to the spot and found the deceased lying on the flags with a bad cut or bruise on the back of his head ; but the three men had by that time gone away. A man who stood on the steps of the opposite house said the deceased had fallen down the steps. Mrs. M'Kay, who lives in the house referred to, stated that the oeceased knocked at her door at half-past twelve on Tuesday night, and enquired for Sarah Ogdeus. Witness told him it was in Mount -street. Two men looked out of an adjoining entry, and told deceased to break open the door ; and, at the same moment, a man named Michael Foy crossed the street, and asked witness if the man at the door was her husband. She said he was not, and thereupon Foy pulled him sharply down the steps, without throwing him, and struck him. Julia Brannon, who lives opposite Mrs. M'Kay, cor roborated the last witness, and also stated that the deceased was pulled down the steps a second time by Foy, and this time he fell to the ground. Police-constable J. Robertshaw said he carried the deceased to the Royal Infirmary, but he died on the way. The jury found a verdict of man slaughter against Foy, and the coroner issued a warrant for his apprehension, EXTENSION OP THE TELEGRAPH.—The company which has obtained the concession of the submarine telegraph between Sardinia and Algeria, will commence laying down the cable between Cagliari and Bona about the lOtti inst. IHE FORGERIES AT lIUDDERSFIELD.—Mr. Merry Lead b^ater, charged with forgeries, was again brought up on Thursday b,fore the Huddersfield bench, and a treBh charge was gone into. It was proved that the prisoner had uttered to Mr. Titus:Calverley, of Salendine :Nook, a bill for £97 145., purporting to be the acceptance of Mr. Geo. Eltoit, of Doncaster, which that gentleman declared to be a forgery. Prisoner was then fully committed for trial for forging and uttering the three bills. THE HARVEST.—We have received in our provincial cotemporaries reports respecting the harvest from Perth shire, the Lowlands, Lancashire, York . 11 ire, Nottingham shire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire. Devonshir', and Suffolk. They are all equally gittif3ing. The hay crop, now ne irly secured, is good and abundant. Wheat is pro gressing admirably, and all the grain crops are daily improving as much as could be desired under the genial weather, which appears to have set in fur a continuance. SCRAPS FROM THE CRIMEA.--011 Tuesday, the 17th ult., Sir William Codrington, accompanied by Admiral Fremantle, Lieutenant-Colonel Mane,- Major Boyle, Captain Ponsonby, and Lieutenant-Colonel Hon. L. Curzon, prcceeded in the Emperor steamer to Kertch. In the meantime the army is commanded by Lieutenant- General Windham. The Pacific has gone round to Kertch, to take on board the 71st. All the English huts are to be sold, three Jews having consented to give lOs a piece for them as they stand. As the huts are marked, they are to be given over and the money received. The obelisk at Inkerman is nearly completed, and the inscrip tion on it is to be, " In memory of the English, French, and Russians, who fell at the battle of Inkerman, sth November, 1854." On the return of the Commander-ill aea Chief from K ertc h , i t i s hi s i ntent i on to go up t h e cou ntry round by Alo uc ht a , an d fi na lly qu it th e Crimea about the 10th of July, leaving Major-General Garrett, K.H. in command of the five regiments attached to the Fourth Division, who are only delayed on account of the railway, which:it will take three weeks to embark at least. SIR W. FENWICK WILLIAMS AT WOOLWICH. At four o'clock on Thursday the newly-appointed com mandant of the garrison at Woolwich, Sir W. Fenwick Williams, entered the town for the purpose of commencing the duties of his offiae. The line of road between Woolwich and Charlton was decorated with numerous banners and devices, bearing the inscriptions of " Williams, the Nation's Pride," " Welcome, the Hero of Kars," " Honour to the Brave," &c. ; and at the entrance to the garrison a stage was erected for the accomniodation of ladies. During the afterndon the whole population of Woolwich appeared to have turned out for the purpose of giving a hearty English welcome to the gallant officer, and countless thousands were eagerly awaiting his appearance. The members of the Woolwich local board of health, preceded by the Royal Arsenal band, and wearing rosettes of red, white and blue, marched in procession from the Town Hall to Artillery place, where it had been previously arranged to present the At four o'clock Major general 1‘ illiams arrived in a covered carriage, followed by a carriage containing his gallant companions, Colonel Lake and Mrjor Teesdale. The Rev. Henrf Brown, rector of Woolwich, stepped to the side of the carriage and read the address. Mjor General Sir W. P. Williams replied as follows : ---`' I can truly say that, next to the honours which have been conferred upon me by her Majesty, the reception which I now experience draws forth the most grateful emo tions of my heart. Although not born, I received my edu cation at Woolwich, and from an early period of my life I have served in the same honourable corps in which my ances try have served for the last 120 years. Whilst I have the command of this garrison it shall be my care to foster and encourage that kindly feeling which has heretofore prevailed bAween the military and civilian poptilation of the town, and to cultivate the most friendly understanding with the local authorities. For your expressions of good feeling towards myself, and my gallant companions in arms, and likewise for the warm welcome with which you have greeted my arrival amongst you, I return you my most sincere and heartfelt thanks, and rest assured it shall ever be my endeavour to reciprocate the friendship which you have exhibited." The general was continually interrupted by the bravos and cheering of the assembled multitude who crowded the street. Mrs. Hall Graham, who was seated on th'e platform, accom panied by the two daughters of Mr. George Hudson, immediately fronting the carriage, arose with the intention of presenting a bouquet to the general, on observing which he gallantly descended and received the present from her, and thanked her for it. The following address accompanied the bouquet—" Allow me, most gallant sir, the high honour of presenting to you this simple bouquet of flowers. Their language, if it could be expressed in words, would testify how joyfully, in common with the ladies of Woolwich, we hail your arrival in our town, and how earnestly we all pray !hat you may be spared as a blessing to the nation on which your bravery has conferred so much honour. And when your work shall be done on earth, may you receive that crown which, unlike these flowers, shall not fade and die." The General then addressed the ladies. " Madam,—l know not how to express the gratitude I feel for the warm and handsome reception you have awarded me this day. If anything could add to the gratification I feel it would be the kind manne r i n w hi c h 1 h ave b een rece i ve d b y t h e ladies. Allow me to th an k y ou f or t hi s beautiful resent. I consider this as one of the happiest moments I have experienced since my return to England." He thou shook the ladies warmly by the hand, and returned to his carriage, when a considerable time elapsed before he could proceed, from the determination of the people to take out the horses and drag him to his destination. A body of police at length succeeded in forming themselves into order, and the procession commenced its line of march to the barracks amid hearty applause, headed by the Royal Arzillery band playing " See the conquering hero comes," " Home, sweet home," and " Auld lang syne," and followed by the Committee of the Board of Health. The gallant general proceeded by the north arch to the Royal Artillery Barracks, and was reeeived by a brilliant staff of officers at the mess-room, where a banquet bad been prepared. The most extensive preparations were made during the day for an illumination, and many of the devices exhibited at the public establishments and by tradesmen were of the most superb description. A GRAPPLE WITH A BURGLAR Yesterday morning, at the early hour of two o'clock, the inhabitants of Rathbone-place, Oxford•street, were alarmed by cries, in a man's voice, of " Murder," " Police," till the person who had been giving utterance to them seemed to stop from exhaustion. Upon enquiries being made as to the cause of alarm, it was ascertained that in the first floor of No. 14, which is in the occupation of Mr. Edgecombe, bootmaker, resides a French watch and clock maker named Volague, and he, about the hour above named, was sleeping in the room, where he was aroused by a rustling noise in the front apartment. Upon getting up, which he did instantly after striking a light, he proceeded to the room► and discovered a man just in the act of pulling out a drawer, which had been forcibly opened, and which con tained several watches and chains, and trinkets of great value. He at once, placing his night lamp on the table, seized the burglar, who closed with him and a desparate struggle ensued, ending in M. Volague being nearly stripped of his night dress, and eventually thrown to the extreme end of the room ; and before he could recover himself, the burglar threw up one of the windows, and leaped into the street—alighting on his feet he made off. A few minutes afterwards, five policemen (who had not been earlier at hand when wanted) made their appearance, and on hearing the statement of M. Volague, started off in different directions, with the view of effecting the capture of the desperado, who, however, as may be anticipated, had during this time made a safe retreat. From the flurry and excitement of the time, M. Volague was unable to describe the man. The burglar could not have obtained an entrance otherwise than by means of skeleton keys.

NAVAL MEMORIAL.—The survivors of the officers engaged in the Baltic are about to erect a magnificent cenotaph to the memory of their companions in arms who have died of disease or fallen in battle. It is expected that the monument will be erected in Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, or some other national institution. MR. JoirN CARDEN.—The term of Mr. John Carden't imprisonment within the gloomy walls of Clonmel gaol to the attempted abduction of Miss Arbuthnott, expired yes terday (Thursday), when, after two years' meditation, he would return to Barnane a sadder, and, it is to be hoped, a wiser man. At all events, ha has had ample time to reflect upon the follies of his past life.
