THE DAY'S NEWS. In the House of Lords last night several clauses in the Divorce Bill were agreed to, and an amend ment by the Lord Chancellor to the effect that instead of an action for crim con, the woman and her paramour should be brought concurrently before the court, and in the event of a di vorce being granted, that a decree should issue against the paramour for the payment of costs, in addition to the fine fixed by the court, was or dered to be inserted. An amendment, proposed by the Bishop of Oxford, to ad 4 imprisonment of adulterer, led to some discussion, and was A rried against the government, upon a division, by to 33. In the House of Commons the new member for Leeds, Mr. Beecroft, took his seat. Several private bills were read, amongst which we notice << St. Philip' Church (Liverpool) Bill." Mr. Roebuck gave notice that on that day week he should 'move that, in the opinion of the house, it is expedient to to abolish the office of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. Respecting the attack of a French man-of war upon an English schooner in the Straits of Belle Isle, whereby one man killed, Lord Palmerston said the accounts as they appeared in the newspapers was substantially correct, but that the schooner John and Edward had done wrong in entering Belle Isle without colours. Count Walewski had volunteered, of his own accordance, a most sstisfactory and handsome regret at the occurrence, and stated that orders had been given to dismiss the officer from the service who had given the order to fire into the schooner; and, in addition to this, the French government were about to inquire in what way they could mitigate the affliction of the friends of the man who was killed. Leave was given to the Lord Advocate to bring in a bill to alter and amend the laws respecting lunatics in Scotland. It will no doubt be remembered by our readers that some two years ego an alleged case of adultery, Evans v Evans, was tried at the Liverpool assizes The marriage took place on the 4th of _November, 1850, at Cheltenham, where both the parties were resident. The cohabition only continued till the following March, when Mr. Evans, who had pre viously been engaging himself in field sports in Leicestershire, proposed to return to Cheltenham and live with his mother. Mrs. Evans declined to reside with her mother-in-law in any capacity but that of a visitor, and a quarrel thereupon ensuing, a separation took place. Mr. Carrington, Mrs Evans's father, represented to her that she was wrong, and persuaded her to write a letter of sub mission to her husband. He took the letter him self to Mr. Evans, and endeavoured to bring about a reconciliation, but Mr. Evans refused, and the parties had never cohabited since. At the London Arches Court, yesterday, Sir John Dodson del!- vered judgment in the case, which had now assumed a suit of divorce, by ?eason of adultery, promoted by the husband against his wife. Sir John Dodson, in giving udgment, reviewed the case as tried at Liverpool Lt great length, and came to the decision that he must pronounce Mr. Evans to have failed in estab lishing his case, and must therefore dismiss Mrs. Evans from the further observance of justice. The divorce was accordingly refused. In local matters to-day, there is but little calling for attention in this column. Mr. J. T. Towson, Examiner and Secretary to the Local Marine Board of Liverpool, was yester day presented with £l,OOO, which consisted of " a subscription from the principal shipowners and captains of the port, chiefly those connected with the Australian trade, who had derived great benefit from the information and advice they had obtained from Mr. Towson, and to whom it was suggested that they should seiza the opportunity of making some substantial acknowledgment for the great service they admitted to have received from him." ----- At the Police Court yesterday, an attorney named Shartock, was charged with forgery. The case was adjourned till to-day. special - meetifig of the West Derby Guardians was held yesterday, to consider what steps should be taken in connection with the formation or establishment of a separate Union for the parish of West Derby, but no definite conclusion was arrived The inquest in the ease of the child poisoning in Shaw-street, has resulted in a verdict of " Chance Medley," saainst Paul Strange, assistant to Mr. Jackson, Chemist, Everton. The foundering of the ship, John Calvin, at sea, will be found detailed at full length in another column. Mr. Russell delivered his second lecture on the Crimean War, Past night, to a very respectable and well filled house. A synopsis wilt be found else where. Our intelligence from the Continent, this morn ing, is not of much importance, In France the electiona are aaaaming more and THE NORTHERN' TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, more importance. The Journal des Debate, the organ of the more respectable and intelligent part of the French netion, has declared against the policy of abstaining from taking part in the elections ; but it writes without much spirit or apparent hopefulness. Government is at present examining the progress made by the provincial press in France during the last three years, and with that view the hooks of the various journals are being examined in order to ascertain the number of subscribers possessed by each paper. This official interference is far from being appreciated by the parties interested. The Assemblee Nationale stops abusing England and the English for twenty-four hours, in order to prove in four columns, and in a most satisfactory manner, that the world is to come to an end in the year 2,000. In the meanwhile, four English pickpockets have been captured at the station of Rambouillet, and the Bourse is recovering from the slight panic of last week. The Revue Contemparaine contains an article, by St. Beuve, on that arch boaster and " fanfaron" Marshal St. Arnaud. Some unpublished letters of the Marshal's, complaining of the slowness of the English, and extolling his own metits, are given, but they are without interest or historical value. The Government measure for making a levy of 50,000 men in Spain has met with some ineffectual opposition in the Cortes. The various Credit Mo biliers and "caisses" established by French Bourse men in Madrid, have just held their meetingss The " Credit Mobilier," Pereire, after a campaign of eight months, has distributed to its share holders 14 per cent. interest. The reserve fund amounts to nearly .£120.a00. One of the directors, Count de Morny, having resigned, has been re placed by M. Goufrie. The " caisse" directed by M. Prost has been in operation only seven months, and the dividend voted was 30 francs- per share, The " Caisse" Weisweiller has given a di vidend of one per cent. The death at Vienna of the Princess Bagration; the wife of Lord Howden, our ambassador at Madrid, has been already made known to the English public. The Princess, we are informed, was a loser, by the flight of M. Thurseymarx, to the extant of 550,000 f., represented' by diamonds, which she had entrusted to his care. These jewels formed the entire property of the Princess, who had disposed of all her estates against are annuity of £12,000. Reams of official paper and cloud? of misty German have been expended in the shape of notes for a long time past between the German Governments and the Cabinet of Copenhagen on the subject of the Danish• German Duchies. Lat terly we thought the dispute was settled ; but n 3 The latest news respecting it.is such as it lase been at any time during the last twelve months. The fact is, the question is one of treaty obligations, and the interminable character of the dispute strikingly illustrates the want of an European tri bunal to decide such questions: The plan suggested some time since by Lord Clarendon as a compromise on the vexed question of the Principalities, and which consisted of as close an administrative union as possible, but rso creation of a united hereditary sovereignty, has, it is stated, found favour with the Government of Russia. France and Russia even hope to britrg, England over altogether to their views, and to agree to a complete union, in which case the oppo sition of Austria might be disregarded. The Belgian official paper denies that the Bel gian ambassador at Constantinople has been intermeddling in favour of the Union. It also denies that the Count of Flanders has ever thought of aspiring to the possible throne of the Principa lities, although it adds, the Roumans themselves have looked towards him WE may speak of the Church of Rome as a system of ecclesiastical polity without entering into any controversy respecting doctrines. How -1 ever we may differ from Roman Catholic opinions, we would speak respectfully of all who hold any earnest convictions on the great subject of religion. We have always acknow ledged Roman Catholics as our Christian brethren, and have defended and- shall continue to defend their right to entire civil equality. We , desire the ascendancy of no priesthood, sect or church, but the equality of all in-:the eye of law, and the unfettered enjoyment of civil and reli gious liberty. It is, then, in no little sectarian., spirit, that we express our satisfaction at the demonstration that has been made in Belgium against the insiduous jesuitical grasping spirit of the Romish clergy. It seems that, in Belgium, all legacies left for charitable purposes musk be administered by the civil power; and the Church, as a distinct corporation, cannot inherit property, except through the permission, and instrumentality of the civil government. This is a wise restriction, considering the immense power which the clergy must have the means of exercising over the minds of the dying. For long generations has an untold amount of wealth flowed into the coffers of the Church through the fears, superstition, or piety of men in the last act of life, with the, priest at their elbow. Liberality to the Church was believed to be a passport to Heaven, or, at the very least, to hide a multitude of sins. It is important to the State, that individuals should be protected against this insinuating and insidious influence of the priesthood, put forth at a time when the individual is least able to act for hinaself, when sinking into feebleness of mind and body, he is most apt to be swayed by the persuasion of his ghostly confessor. Governments have seen the danger of this, and have passed many enactments to limit the power and the wealth of the clergy. Society was threatened with, a sort of imperium in imperio—a power within the state growing up to outrival the state. In the middle ages this was actually consummated ; the ecclesiastical towered above the civil power, and to this day men speak of Church and state, instead of State and Church. It is generally known that in France and Belgium of late years the Church of Rome has aimed, not unsuccessfully, to control the education of the people—to monopolise it, if possible. The struggle has not yet ended. The Church has hitherto had the advantage. As the Church seeks to rule society by directing the minds of the young, through education, so it seeks to add to its wealth by acting upon the pious fears of the dying. A Charitable Bequests Bill was recently introduced into the Belgian Chambers, to enable parties bequeathing pro perty- to the Church to name their own Trustees and Managers, who, by the existing law, must he civil parties, but, by the.proposed bill,. might clerical persons The eccltsiastical party and they was in the ascendant in Parliament, were carrying everything before them, not• withstanding the determined opposition of the more liberal portion. A small spark has often lighted up a mighty conflagration. The people admitted to the galleries of the House could not abstain from testifying their approval of the conduct of the opposition. The President orders the galleries to be cleared, and the police clear them accordingly. In the streets the citizens repeat more vociferously their approval of the opposition and their resistance to the Jesuit Clergy Bill. When the Assembly breaks up the Liberal members are cheerer], the ministers are hissed, and even the Pope's nuncio hooted. Soldiers and artillery are assembled in Brussels ; cannon are conveniently placed in readiness, for which,lhappily, there has been no need, Similar demonstrations are made in other towns— , Namur, Liege, Mons, &c. The people seem determined ; the clerical party is cowed, and yields before the gathering storm ; the King exercises his prerogative of proroguing the House for a month ; the obnoxious bill is dropped ,•- the danger of serious disturbance is averted, and again, but for very different reasons, order reigns at Brussels, as well as at Warsaw. Belgium has narrowly escaped a great danger, induced by die Clergy, and averted by the sovereign. It is reported that some blood has been shed, but the consequences might have been far more serious, if the King had not known how to do the right thing at the right moment. Men's minds will cool; and in three weeks more, the smooth career of legislation will be resumed. Time is a great healer and soother. When a man is in a towering passion, if he can keep his mouth shut till he has counted a hundred, the chief danger will be past. This demonstration is dignified cant against the undue influence of priestly power. It is important European warning to the clerical party, which may Heaven grant them wisdom to profit by. The most holy Roman Bishop; as he is at this moment making a pre-arrranged progress through his dominions, where, of course r . everything will be made to seem pleasant, boasts . the unbroken loyalty of the great Catholic countries to the Chair of St. Peter. There was one " microscopic" exception—Sardinia ; another may now be added—Belgium. Enlightened _Roman Catholics will rejoice with us in the failure of this clerical attempt in Belgium to aggrandise• the order. This manifestation in Belgium may not be interpreted into a Protestant manipulation. At all events, it is evidence that even in Roman Catholic countries, the popular mind is capable of being aroused to withstand the inordinate claims-of the Clergy. It would be their wisdom to sea this, and-,set their house :in order accordingly. There is a legitimate way ,of aggrandising their. order, hat- it is not by -wealth and. titles, and association with the :powers of this world—but it is by boldness, by attention to their spiritual duties, by becoming the educators of the people in sound knowledge of the divine laws of the. universe, by practical. goodness-.and godliness, by pointing to brighter worlds, while they lead the way. HE MAJESTY'S Attorney-Genera has at length filed ex officio informations against the Directors of the Royal British Bank. Bench warrants have been issued ; some of the delin quents, the ex-Governor, Mr. ESDAILE, and Mt. OWEN, have been arrested; others of them-. are under the close surveillance of the police ; and' a reward of 2001: has been offered for the notorious Mr. HumPunEY BROWN. He and the exceedingly pious and devout manager, Mr. CAMERON, (who is reported to have had: such a fear of God. before . his eyes, that he proposed to open the Bank with prayer,) are said - to> be on the Continent, but just now their. whereabouts is unknown. Let us hope that the eagle-eyed detectives who are in pursuit of the fugitives will not be long until they pounce upon this particular brace of bank delinquents, and that they, with all their confederates who have been engaged in the huge plunder, fraud, and deception of the Royal British Bank will be, and that, too, in a few, days, within the iron grasp. of the law, pre paratory to being visited with legal retribution for their numerous transgressions against• all principles of rectitude and honesty, and their unparalleled and barefaced impositions upon the public. We admit that tire. Attorney-General is now acting with vigour and determination in the matter, Nevertheless, we cannot help thinking that his apparent reluctance to commence pro ceedings has been the means of enabling the greatest scoundrel of the lot, Mr. BROWN, to effect his escape. His complicity with the dis honest practices of all the directors was known on the 29th of April last, for on that memorable day he deposed before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD, in the Bankruptcy Court, that he became a Director in February, 1853, and gave his note of hand for the shares by which he qualified, and paid for them in no other way ; that he opened his credit by paying 18/. 45,, and the same day drew 2,000/. ; that in a day or two afterwards he borrowed 3,000/.; that he borrowed 4,0001. on the 2nd of May ; afterwards, 5,0001. were placed to his credit; and that in September, when he was only seven months a Director, the balance against him was 30,000/. ; the ultimate result being that " his account, which commenced with a credit of 181. 45., ended with a debit of . 5 5., with sets off!" The secutiti es • which' 63, fil7l this; then • holiou?able; gentleman gave, were unregistered taortgAges of ships—a docu ment constituting the entire title to ships— though the money was obtained on promises to register. In the examination of BROWN, of of which the foregoing is a brief precis, he had the audacity to tell the Court of Bankruptcy, that "it was an idle ceremony to ask him to pay the demands of the Bank." These facts came out, as we have said, on the 29th of April ; the elaborate report of the Commissioner was delivered on the 14th of May, and yet it took the Attorney -General three weeks to make up his mind to file ex-o . nicio informations. Mean time, some of the British Bank cormorants have flown, so that we are now obliged to offer 2001. for this Chief of Banking Sinners, the ex member for Tewkesbury. It is said that, although no actual steps were taken by the Attorney -General in the matter, that arrange ments were made, and a watchful eye kept upon the movements of all the parties ; and that so well has this portion of the business been performed, on the - issue of the warrants, immediate captures were made. Still, we ask—where is BROWN, and sanctimonious CAMERON ? The crime of which these men stand accused is that of the grossest fraud, and studied deception—putting into circulation the most reprehensible statements, with the purpose of bolstering up the reputation- of the Bank—inducing the public to regard it as a flourishing and stable concern when it was nothing but a monetary wreck, in hopeless insolvency and ruiii. To permit such characters to escape, and allow them to be punished only by loss of caste. To blink at the onduct in carrying off and squandering among them the hard earnings of depositors and the frugal savings of many an humble but respectable shareholder, would be a disgrace - to the country in which we lire—a disregard of law, and an utter perversion of justice. We hear the Attorney-General extolled for his- vigour and determination: in the matter, but cannot sympa thise in any such opinion. The- demands— sacred demands—of duty to his country and his GOD required it. The country, with one voice, approves the course he has taken, but it would be derogatory to any well regulated mind to extol the proceeding, as some of our cotempora ries do, as a positive act of virtue. The glaring acts of misconduct committed by Banking establishments in this country of late years, including'. the Sadlier frauds, and the deceptive and roguish doings of PAUL, BATES, and STRAHAN ) , not to mention the outrageous and dishonest deeds of ROESON and RZDPATLF, fall into the shade when compared with the Royal British Bank ; and it is not too much to expect that the law officers of the Crown will, by a vigorous prosecution, and the Judges before wham they may be tried, by the severe sentence they will pronounce, teach not only the- delinquents., but society at large, that British justice cannot—will not— tolerate such robbery, inflicting as it has done evils, pemmiary and social, upon thousands of our fellow.beings, and destroying all confi dence in man.. We shall look with anxiety to hear of the capture of the entire lot of Directors who managed the Royal British Bank. If any one of them escapes, the public at large will not be satisfied. THE Eynon/ or TUNE, 1857.—The temple of Janus is at length closed in Europe. The Grand Duke Constan tine, the personification of the Russian war-theory, visits the Tuilleries-and Osborne in-the same week. The Emperor of Austria, passing in ovation from Lombardy, proceeds to the suppneesed nationalityof Hungary, where the voices which, a few years since, hailed Kossuth governor, and Gorgei dictator, greet his Itnperial Majesty as " Apostolic King" and " Very great Lord." In Lord Palmer— ston's honourable and satisfactory peace, argosies of magic sails are thronging, our harbours, in numbers such as Sinbad dared not have prophesied, and bearing treasures such as. Aladdin never dreamed of. And yet in all this international reconcilement and material prosperity, realis ing Arabian visions, are there no traces- of a conflict, still continuing, bitterer, more irreconcileable far than ever divided Cossack and Mussulmen ? While the war.sounds which lately thundered in the Black Sea are passing away in the desultory echoes faintly heard - from Chinese•waters, who looks out on Europe, and cannot see how illusory is the cry which boastfully calls out "Peace, peace," on. ovary aide when there is no.peace. These, indeed, are startling days. And who, even as a contemplator, can keep pace with them. The morning news of a single day forms, in itself, a mats of literature, which the most diligent cannot get through, before it has already grown old and flat, by 811 A-, set. The columns of the Tiines alone terrify the eye as it glances along the rushing current of events, in which " all comprehension wanders lost." Why, the very paragraph which announces how, in a few months. the passions and feelings which agitate London will vibrate through New York thirty minutes after their conception, is charged with thoughts enough, as Tennyson has said, "to shake mankind." But, more than all, the ever-increasing store of the material results of modernism, do the present metaphysical and spiritual movements of the world affect the thoughtful mind, and cause her to stand at gaze. Scarce has the war of soldiers ended, and the armies of Europe returned to their garrisons, than all Europe is at once the battle-held of adverse passions and opposing principles. To go no further than the history of the past week, what a chaos of contrarieties does it exhibit ! Never was there a period, more than this month of June, 1857, when the old and uncotn sromising moral foes, despotism, and liberty—lying sueerstition and unfettered truth—intolerant and time - ups:owl priesteraft, and pare, simple Christianity —open but rampant humbug, and his sure detector, free tboueht—were to be seen all manifestly flourishing—all straining forward in the competitive race, and each apparently ev'th good Prospect of suocesa. From Rome we read how his Holiness goes forth on his little journey to Bologna more like a .captive than a sovereign Pontiff. The Vicegerent of Heavers moves as if he were in Pandemonium; his retinae is a guard of safety, rather than a guard of honour; he requires protection, as a Tipperary landlord needed it in 1846 ; and yet those ) guards are round him, and French and Austrian soldiers remain behind, to keep Remanisra in Rome. The san2s, day's despatch tells us of the neighbouring State, wheY freedom is victorious under the conduct of Victor Emmanuel; and where the noble Cevour, in his statesmanlike and comprehensive mind, pierces the Alps with the steam-engine, and unites the Indian Ocean to the Baltic Meanwhile, in the South, Lord Palmerston's phantom ships hare withdrawn from the Bay of Naples, and left Poerio in his dungeon. News from Constantinople ex hibits the Crescent growing pale, not before the fires of A WEDNESDAY, PINT 10, 1857' bloody crusade, but as enlightenment comes in like the day spring under the gentle rule of the successor of the Caliphs, and yet we scarce begin to dream of Christianity resting upon dome and minaret, ere we read of one of the famous Principalities, rescued so lately from Russisn violence and Austrian diplomacy, voluntarily submitting to a Papal concordat—a spiritual occupation far worse than that of Don Cossack, or Croatian trooper. From France, we read in the Univers of the miracles of Saint Colette and her frail nun ; and, while the magistrates of Grenoble denounce the imposture of Madlle. de Lamertine, that young " virgin of the yellow stocking" finds votaries by hundreds of thousands, and the waters of her holy well are sold for £12,000 a •year. Belgium, lately witneseed Ultramontane priest-tyranny driven back from its old lucrative post by the side of the death-beds, to which it had so nearly crept back. Bat, while the cry of "a bas les convents" rises in Brussels, the Primate of Hungary is worshipping Francis Joseph. Yet there is great thope for Con tinental Europe in the telegraphic message from Brussels of the first of this montl), which states "that the summer and autumn promise to be unusually prolific i❑ religious meetings and Church assemblies in Protestant Germany." We have not space to review the position of those mental and spiritual contests ih our own islands, where the discordant elements are also furiously at work, in the free land which permits a partiul development of each. Meanwhile, we rest our confidence in the Power which can elicit harmony from them all ; net , can we allow a doubt as to the ultimate result, knowing which of the adverse parties and Contending principles are warring under the auspices of Eternal Wisdom, Mercy,. and Trath . —Belfast News Leteer AN ENGLISH CALIFORNIA. The idea seems a strange one, but it is true not With. standing, The world listens with intense interest to' the operations on the banks of the Sacramento, without know ing that the same operations are going on upon the banks of the Weaver. Not that the Weaver ie a metalliferan river; its province is to receive, not to provide, the pre= clone metal. This it is doing is such a manner as to give promise of results worthy the most serious attention of the country. What is now doing to impart all the interest, and everr more than the interest and attention which attachss to the gold seeker in California, which to the commercial man, or those more immediately connected in the monetary proceeding of the country. What is now doing is of an especial interest which' cannot be overrated. The operations to which we refer are those carried on near the town of Prodsham, in Cheshire. The rock ' operated upon is in part brought from North Wales, so that the gold extracted is, in every sense of the word, English gold; but a very material part of their operations are upon rock, brought from America—from districts long celebrated for- the riches they contain—but which are not washed on the spot from the impossibility of finding labour and fuel in sufficient quantities to make the operation pro fitable. The cheapness of water carriage suggested , the idea of bringing the ore to be reduced in this country. The result has been to establish,. as I have observed, a California in England. About three • years ago, an English company, called " The Chancellorsville Freehold - Mining Company," pur chased an estate in the very best part of the quartzose auriferous distaict.. The estate in question is situated near Chancellorsville, in Virginia, near the river Rappahanock. From this place the rock is conveyed straight to the wharf of the company, on the Weaver. These works are actually on the banks of the river. The first cperation is to supply by art what nature has done without art at the Antipodes. The labourof crossing the ocean is exchanged for much less expensive and simpler toil. It is imported in casks, in fragments about the size of a man's fist. After having been twice calcined,. Dame of the rock is reduced toe coarse powder, some to a sort of ashes, and the rest, which consist of pieces more or less entire, are whitened, and extremely .friable. The matter is then placed under the operation of the stamping en gine, which reduces it>to somewhat of the state of sea, sand, the particles of quartz, being still perfectly visible. Some portion, however, is reduced to a fine powder. To obtain this, the reduced quartz is ca-rigid to an artificial stream with fivetanks. The coarser powders are, of course, first deposited. The finer are carriedon into the further tanks. Those of the two last tanks are sufficiently fine to need no further reduction, those in the first are subjected to a second grinding process, which is done by a moderate sized , roller rotating in a trough lined with iron, which reduces the matter to the required fineness. It then becomes an impalpable brown powder. In this state, being shaken in a shove/ .with a little water, :the goains of gold become-distinctly visible . . The process then commences of extracting the gold. This is done by the chemical process of smalysation- with quicksilver. The dust is Owed in an enclosed wooden trough —a stream of water carries it into an amalgamator, and in the passage it is subjected to magnetic action ; a series of about twenty rows of magnets;' each row con taining about ten separate magnets, is caused to revolve above the current. The object of this is to take up the iron, which is mixed up with the matter ; the original rock containing a large quantity of iron pyrites, and iron in other forms. The. residue flows icto the amalgamator, which contains a quantity of quicksilver, which takes up the gold. The gold is then obtained from the amalgam by the ordinary processes. It is the pyritous part of the rock which is commonly the most valuable. The rock, in, situ, consists of a talcose slate, sometimes of a deep red colour, but more commonly of a pale blue. A good deal of silver and iron is combined in the mass. The rock is usually, soft and friable. We introduce this subject at the present time because, on Saturday, decisive trials were made by Mr Harris, the company's manager, in the presence of many commercial and scientific gentlemen, including Mr. Henry, and Mr. G. F. Ansell, of the. Royal Mint. On this occasion the produce of gold from one ton of the American ore, taken from a large quantity on the company's premises was I oz. 1 dwt 7 grs. , THE COURT, &c,, The Queen, accompanied by the Princess Royal and Prince Leopold, and attended by the lion.
