PAItIt3, 801 DAY Evistem.

The Moniteur publishes a decree signed by the
Emperor, which, while it puts an end in all pro-
bability to the great Renan question, is so worded
as to encourage the hair-splitting which has accom-
panied the controversy on the subject. K Renan's
contention was that, inasmuch as he had not re-
signed and had not been dismissed, he still remained
a professor of the College of France. Well !be is
not after all dismissed. The Moniteur merely
says that he "remains dismissed" (demeure revoqui),
an expression which obstinately assumes the very
thing in controversy, viz., that the former implicit
dismissal was a valid one. Moreover, the Moniteur
may be told that it is an undignified as
well as useless process to slay the slain, and
defied to explain why, if K Ronan was dismissed
already, it should be necessary to get the Emperor's
signature to attest the existing fact. It is amusing
to see that, after all the pains taken to make the
government appear right in the matter, the Mo nite or
is reduced to contradict itself ; for in the summary
of the contents of this day's number, at the head of
the leading column, we read the words, " Decree
dismissing K Renan," showing that the compiler
of the index understood that K Reran was now
dismissed by the efficacity of the decree, and not
that the decree merely registered a former dismissal.
M. Renan gives up, for the sake of a principle,
an income of about 3001. a year, which was the
salary attached to the post offered him in the
Bibliothkque Impdriale. The government come,
out of the business very awkwardly, because Al.
Renan's religious opinions afford no avowable
ground whatever for dismissing him from a pro-
fessorship. Some of the Emperor's advisers are
too apt to forget that the Roman catholic religion
is no longer the religion of the state in France, and
is not legally entitled to any privilege above the
members of any other faith. There are plenty of
Jewish professors in the colleges, and at Metz there
is a Jewish school maintained by the state.
The Nation says :

The misfortune of M. Bowes dismissal is that it gives the
victory to a ooterie long desirous to anomie the free thinker.
This is the coterie which three years sinoe assembled under
If Renan's windows, shouting " Down with Ronan !"
Well, Ronan is now down, and the niolaneholy put of the
slor► is that the hatred and jealousy of free thicker. of
another shade have materially contributed to his overthrow.

I do not suppose there is any practical means of
trying the legal question raised by M. Laboulaye—
• very competent authority—whether a member of
the College of France can be dismissed without a
report from the committee of five established by
M. Duruy's decree of 1863. That decree applies
in terms to members of " superior instruction,"
aad the Constitutionnel is instructed to treat that
expression as applicable only •to members of the
"university," which professors of the College of
France are not. A consideration which adds to the
confusion of the affair is that one of the reasons
alleged against M. Renan was that the university
could not be responsible for his teaching ; and now,
in order to deprive him of legal guarantees, it is
said that he does not belong to the university at
all.

A veteran of the French army, General do My-
li us, lately offered the Acadifmie Francaise a foun-
dation prize of 500 fr. for the best annual essay
upon "Religious Toleration." The Academy having
refused the endowment, the general now writes to
the Opinion National; that he is ready to repeat the
offer in favour of any society in a position to gua-
rantee the perpetuity of his prize. Thu object he
has in view is, "to encourage unlearnl religious
toleration, and thereby to extinguish religious dis-
cord and lay the foundation of mutual bonevolence
among all peoples."
The Pays repeats what the Constitutionnel said
yesterday, that Denmark has made all possible con-
cessions, and that it is now for Austria and Prussia
to show a conciliatory spirit, and accept the com-
promise proposed by England, unless they would
incur the great responsibility of breaking the peace
of Europe.
The trite observation that every new crime is
sure to produce imitators is illustrated by the de-
tails of a trial in the Assize Court of Paris yester-
day. A livery servant, bearing the extraordinary
n►me of Arbogaste Ignatius Orthlieb, • native of
Schelestadt (Bas-Rhin), having read the history
of Maurice Roux, at Ale, conceived the idea of
robbing his master and making believe that be had
been knocked down and bound by housebreakers.
M. Deribeancourt, a merchant Living in the Rue
Rivoli, No. 150, on owning home from a dinner
party, found his safe broken open and a sum of
upwards of 16,000 fr. abstracted. The ser-
vant, Arbogaste Ignatius Orthlieb, was found
on the floor of his bedroom, groaning,
and his hands tied behind him with cords. He
had put a wet piece of brown paper in ashes, and
then dabbed it on the floor to counterfeit the marks
of footsteps. Bat the whole thing was too clumsily
done to deceive anybody, and, moreover, all the
motley was found in a garret, where Orthlieb had
hidden it ready to take away. He was sentenced to
ten years' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE ITALIAN RIFLE ASSOCIATION. —A letter,
addressed to the Volunteers of England by his Excellency
the Marquis d'Aseglis, ha. been transmitted to the secre-
tary of the National Ede fumoriatioe, stating that when
the association first received au invitation from the English
Voluutors to take pot in the Wimbledon meeting it was
not sufficiently organsied to be able to avail itself of the
opportunity to be presset ; bat that being now completely
organised, and Milan having been selected &S the plus of
their meeting, beginning out the 19th of June, and rewind-
ing on the 25th, they wish the volunteers of England to
attend. There are, the letter states, 97 prizes, open to ell
owners. The document, which la signed " D'aufor,s,*
' cowhides as follows :—" Come ! outwit Italians will joy-
fully take that opportunity of proving to yes that we are
preparing to show ourselves worthy in every respect of the
symWhy which yes, eons of Albion, have so often es-
tan to a young adios like ours."

absence ; and having done so the plaintiff sow mad to re. i
sever • sues which he claimed for medicines and attendance.
At the trial the jury found for the plaintiff for SU. but sub-
sequently there wee a rule to ester a noeault, and this rule
having been argued the eosin sow gave judgment.
Mr. Justice Bytes said that the filet point urged upon the
court wee that the plaintiff being an unregistered pre.-
Wiener, he could not recover for attending the patients of
the defendant upon the defendant's credit. But io answer
to this it wee contended that the Medical Registration Act
did not apply to contracts between medical men.
The Court agreed that the act bad no applica-
tion to an unregistered assistant suing a repaired
medical practitioner for his salary ; but it did apply where
medicines were supplied to those parties upon the credit of
• medical man. The defendant having engaged the plaintiff
to attend to hie patients, was entirely in the position of an
ordinary pa ter, and not the Las so that the defendant
was a medical man. It was further contended that the
work having been done on board a Peruvian skip
of war, the contract was not governed by the municipal
law of this country but by the law of Peru. For many pur-
poses, no doubt, a foreign ship was considered to be foreign
territory ; it would be so considered in reference to a ma-
tract made on board between members of the crew, and to
be executed on board only. Here, however, the contract
was not made between Peruvians only, and it wee not to be
performed entirely on board the vessel ; and therefore there
was no disqualification to sue in Englend. Upon the lint
point, however, there would be a rule absolute to eater a
verdict for the defendant on a mania.
Rule absolute.

APPEALS.
TUVE/MON V. TIVIIIITON.
the hearing of this case was to-day resumed by
mr H. Cairns, who referred to the question of alleged
~,,miladgment of promise of marriage by the appellant,
which turned on the construction of the wording of car-
ton letters, and argued that the whole question of acknow.
Women t was settled by an expression in one of those letten•
fLr abject was to ascertain whether there was any contract
marriage in Scotland before the 15th April, 1857, bemuse
iterthAt time the two parties emerged from Scotland,
,D,l never met in that country until after the marriage in
!Maud. If there was such • contract, it was in favour of

tle respondent ; but if there was not, it was of no conse-
,,uenos what acknowledgment or promises occurred after the
ceremony in Ireland, became they could not refer to the
contract in Scotland. This was to be shown by an expres-
soo in the respondent's letter of the date of April,
!,' 7 written from Hull, and after the alleged Scotch mar-
nape, in which she said, "Ob, no, no, don't say that it is
comfort for you to get rid of me. If it in, you know you
..re and always have been free." If a marriage had taken
I:Ace, such a statement could not have been of any avail,
1:1 it was to be presumed that she was influenced by the
lcowledge that she had no legal claim upon the appal-
faux It was, in fact, in as plain language as man
or woman could use aa a repudiation of any such claim, and
the previous expression in the same letter that she had
‘. sacrificed all for him " added to the forts of the con-
struction which was to be put upon the words of that re-
nunciation.
The Lord Chancellor—ls there an sgreement between
the partials. to the date of the Scotch marriage
Sir H. Cairns—l do not know what the other side my,
but we believe it to be accurately fixed at the 15th April,
1.i.17.
The Lord Chancellor—Before the Irish marriage
Sir H. Cairns—Certainly, that is clear to demonstration.
The statements in the case on both aides showed that the
respondent left Edinburgh in the spring of 1&57, and that
the marriage in Ireland occurred in August of that year.
The parties having gone from Ireland to Hull, were about to
go abroad, and • pamport was obtained for them, which
w.i. made out in the name of " Yelverton," and the
.o,pelLint wrote to the reepondent stating that they
were to meet for the purpose of going abroad
. .. ... .

. . ---
Lowther, and said " I send you your passport vise ; you
must sign it, and take care with the right name," which it
afterwards appeared was "Mrs. Theresa Yelverton." At
lint sight this might appear a fact against the appellant, bet
iu reality it was in his favour, for it appeared that the
respondent all that time was in the habit of using her own
name, and as the parties were to travel together
on the continent it would be a matter of convenience
that they should use the same name, and the appellant,
knowing that she wee still using her own name, reminded
her that she must sign the passport, not in that name, but
in the one under which they were to travel together. The
learned counsel then commented on the evidence of a Mr.
coodiffe, with whom Major Yelverton became acquainted
at Dunkirk, where the appellant wee awaiting the
arrival of a lady whom he spoke of as his
wife, and whom be introduced to him as
as "My wife, Mn. Yelverton." This witness had deposed
that be said to the appellant, " Well, Yelverton,
is this all right! Is it on the square!" to which
the appellant replied " Yes, she is really my wife, but we
have been married secretly ; I am obliged to keep it secret
from my family." It was then suggested that this inquiry
was made by a person who was a stranger to the appellant
only two days before—a casual acquainteaos at
an inn ; and arising out (of the very fact of
the lady having been introduced to him as the " wife" of
the appellant, and that the appellant, wishing to keep his
marriage secret, talked of it to a person with whom he was
on no terms of intimacy. Unless it were shown there were
circumstances which canoed Mr. Csiediffe te doubt the
fact of the respondent being the wife of appel-
lant, and therefore to question a comparative
stranger of the, subject, such evidence could not be
taken to bear much weight. The learned counsel
then drew attention to the last letter addressed by the re-
spondent to the appellant, and which has already appeared
in this journal, and which was written on the eve of the
antagonism which arose between the parties, and in which
for the first time allusion was made by the respondent to
any bald existing between them. He painted oat that a let-
ter sent immediately previous by the appellant had been de-
liberately mutilated, so that its first sentence stood thus:—
a' caution', therefore, in the way you rein yourself, and end
the lateen." It was argued that the mutilation of
this letter had reference to that which was written by the
respondent above alluded to, and which for the first time
preened the respondent's alleged legal claim upon the appel-
lant, the object being to show that there had been a secret
ISIOATiIe, and that, she had promised to keep it secret, on
certain conditions. It appeared that in the month of June,
185 d, one of the respondent's letters was opened by the ap-
pellant's mother, or some other member of her family, in
which sin had spoken of their marriage • and
this caused the appellant's letter above ewer: timed,
in which be urged caution and continued 'sexily ; and she,
in reply,entresteditim to take his mother into his confidence
mod tell the whole truth, adding " Yon will recollect that
I told you before I consented to keeping the marriage secret,
that this, and this alone, was the only sacrifice I could not
willingly make for you." It was conteoded that the object
of the mutilation of this particular letter of the appellant
was for the purpose of preventing and concealing its mean-
ing. There wee also a letter, the envelope of which had
best found, which bore the postmark of the 4th of
June, or thereabouts, which bad bees suppressed, and
which according to the appellant, contained a distinct re-
pudiation of any such claim on him as was made on her by
the respondent in the List letter, which it appeared that
the respondent wrote, and which ostensibly closed the
correspondence ' • whereas the appellant's letter of media-
tine, and which had not bees produced, was the last. From
that point, looking to the letters written by respondent to
Mr. Mooney for the purpose of getting up evidence, she
was preparing for the contest with the appellant in which
she had since bees engaged.

JUDOW&VT.

This wag as action to recover :he ialue of a nee howls willed
Shillelagh, injured on the defendants' line, and which had
afterwards to be killed. The case was tried at Westminster
before the Lord Chief Justice, when the jury returned
• verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1,0004, the vales of the
the horse and his segagemeata. The hone had been run-
ning with others at the Worcester near in July, 186!.. and
on the day otter the moss, the horse (with others) was
taken by the groom to the Worcester station,
and the trucks of the company were drawn up
to receive them. A quantity of iron girders to be
used in some alterations then being made at
the station were lying on the ground, and the bongs
on approaching the hone boxes had to per between them
—a apace of seven feet. The porters cried, " Now then,
London hones," and the bones were accordingly moved
forward. The first horse, Viscount Brigoall, passed
through In safety, but when is his box be
kicked out, which mused Shillelagh to draw back,
and io doing so be struck his leg against the iron girders
inflicting the injuries complained of. Subsequently a rule
was obtained on behalf of the defendant. to set aside the
verdict on the grounds first of absence of negligeaos in
allowing the girders to lie about the premium. and
secondly, under the Railway Traffic Act, which
limits to 501. the sum to be recovered foe iajury
to horses • bile being cociv”yed unless the value beyond that
amount was deolared and paid foe accordingly. lo this
case the plaintiff had not declared the value of the horse,
and the accident happened before the ticket was ob-
tained, sod before he wee is tha box to be
carried. The rule was refused as the point of negligence,
but granted on the point of damages. The rule was
argued at some length, and in ocemierpmeoe of the novelty
of the case, the accident not happsaing whilst the hone was
being " carried," their lordships took time to consider their
judgment.
Mr. Justice Mellor, who had beard the arguments, came
into wort and delivered his judgment. He considered the
act referred to all the incidents of carrying, the receipt,
delivery, and forwarding, and the value of the horse had not
been declared before it entered the defendant's yard. He
thought the rule should be be made absolute to reduce
the damages to 801.
Mr. Justice 31ackbarn was of a similar opinion.
The Lord Chief Justice wee of a contrary opinion. The
tug!' nee must be negligence as carriers, and be considered
the defendante liability as such bad not commenced when
the accident happened ; and the Carriers' Act did not apply.
His judgment was for the discharge of the rule, but as his
harped brothers were against him, the rule would be made
absolute to reduce the damages.
Rule absolute, with leave to appeal, if the leave of the
COWS was necemary.
