GUILDHALL

Bernhard Behrertz, described as a merchant of 3, South-
ampton-street, Camberwell, was charged with absconding
from his bankruptcy, and with concealing and embezzling
his estate, with intent to cheat and defraud his creditors.
It appeared that the prisoner was in business in South-
ampton-street, Camberwell. until April last, when he sold
his business and disappeared with the whole of his property,
leaving liabilities to the amount of 2,000/. The creditors
communicated with Mr. Hamilton, the chief of the City
Detective Police, and Detective Sergeant Webb's services
were called into requisition, the result of which was that the
prisoner was teased to a little village near Cologne. Webb
proceeded to Cologne, and thence to Berlin, to obtain the
resistance of the Prussian authorities in the removal of the
prisoner. He then returned to Cologne, and was just
in time to secure the prisoner, who had in his absence
gone back as far as Gravesend to fetch kis wife and
family. Webb also succeeded is obtaining possession of
mosey and property to the amount of 2001., the money
having bean deposited in a bank in the name of a friend of
the prisoner.
Evidence was given to show that the prisoner had been
adjudicated a bankrupt, end that be had not surrendered,
after which he was remanded for • week. .

Monday evening a large meeting of working men was held
in the I.fatiosal School, Hartland-road. Keutish-town, for
the porno.* of calling attention to the Working Men's Club
and Institute, just formed for the districts of Camden•town,

by Lord Ebury, who was supported on the platform by a
, number of the clergy, gentry, and leading artisans of the
tonality. His lordebip, in opening the meeting, addrewied
the audience at some length, referring to the wonderful
extension of the movement for the establishment of thew
clubs, and to the way in which the clubs meet the special
requirements of the industrial classes. A report of the action
of the provisional committee was presented by H. Herber,
Eel., and the Rev. Henry &illy (secretary of the Workiog
Mau'. Club and institute Union) gave a stirring address,
which wee frequently interrupted by the applause of those
present. Amongst the other .peaken were the Rev. Edward
White, M.A.' the Rey. C. Lee, M.A.. the Rev. S. Nunn,
Mr. Noel, R. Buchan, EN., and Mr. Watkins. Resolutions

reports of the success of the Scarborough Club that appeared
in April in several of the daily journals.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
TURIN, MAT 29, Eviamo.

To-day in the Chamber of Deputies the e Minister
of Foreign Affairs laid on the table of the house
several diplomatic documents. The first series of
these documents consisted of a correspondence
between the Signori Pasolina and Visconti
and the Chevalier di Nigro, respecting the
relations between the kingdom of Italy
and the Pontifical States. The note of Signor
Visconti, dated Ist April, offers to renew the Con-
vention, concluded in September, 1861, with France
for the repression of brigandage, and claiming the
intervention of France for the removal of Francis
IL from Rome.
The second series of documents refers to the
Polish question, and shows that the instructions
given to the Marquis Pepoli were in conformity
with those of the English and French ambassadors.
The note of Signor Visconti, of the 12th May, in
reply to the note of Prince Gortchakoff (already
published), says that it cannot be the interest of
Russia that Poland should continue to be a
source of disquietude to Europe.
" The Italian Government," says the note, " is
in accord with the Allied Powers, and considers
necessary the adoption of a system which would
efface the causes of the sufferings of Poland."

The other documents relate to the Swiss affair
and the Servian question.

the Indian army to the Queen's service, and who was in •
tinpat in this country, should receive no pay whatever, in
mineequence of &mentions between the Indian-office and the
War-office, and whether the government intended to make

COOKE o, COOKS (CLERK).-:APEILEL.

The petitioner, wife of the Rai. James Young Cooke,
rector of Sewer, Norfolk, was married to him iu 1834, and
she had had by him eleven children, of whom the youngest
wee barn in 1850 ; and nine survived. The sail was to ob-
tain a judicial separatioe, on the ground of cruelty. The
husband pleaded a denial, a justification, and condonation.
The Judge Ordinary found the hones for the wife, and pro-
nounced a decree nisi, from which the respondent now
appealed.
On behalf of the appellant, 11 was argued that Mrs. Cooke
had not herself mentioned in her evidence the principal acts
alleged aa cruelty ; that she bad cohabited with her husband
during the contionance of those sets ; and that after she
had left her borne he had not attempted to compel her
to return to him. It was also pointed out that she had
avowed • mere collateral object as to her motive in bringing
the suit ; for she bad said that she felt no apprehension of
weasel ill-treatment, but she had presented her petition
because her husband bad not permitted her children to visit
her so often as be ought to bare dons.
At the close of the argaments the court rose.

"For the first time since the formation of the

Mush of England to ordain the practise of maim enter

to obey her orders ; and be earnestly besought them to
remember that they had promised to perform the ordinances
in accordance with the practice she had set forth.
Now either the law of the land respecting the
performance of divine worship in our parish
churches must be upheld, or we must submit to see
every congregation liable to become the sport of
any young man fresh from college. Such as
it is, the law is the only protector of the
parish. The parishioners may meet and
tax themselves for the washing of surplices,
but they have no control whatever over the
choice of a minister or the conduct of the services.
The only justification for this deprivation of
liberty is that it is necessary for peace, and that
Parliament, which has bound the parishioners, has
also bound the priest for a common object. It
is an ungrateful office to seem to oppose liberty,
even such liberty as that of the Rev. Mr.
DRURY and Brother IGNATIUS. But the parochial
system, which delivers over the churchmen of
a given locality to a particular clergyman, instead
of leaving them at liberty to call in a
second minister, and thus, if necessary, balance
one ecclesiastical tendency by another,
creates a necessity of strictly defining the mode
of conducting the services of the Church. It ap-
pears from the case of " Josues v. Jam'," tried
last week in the Court of Arches, that a clergy-
man has no right to read prayers, preach, and ad-
minister the sacraments in the private chapel of
his own estate, without the consent of the Incum-
bent of the parish. So much power requires to
be placed under regulation, or it becomes tyranny;
and under such a tyranny, it appears to us, the
churchmen of the parish of Claydon are now

ROUTE TO INDIA

Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India
whether her Majesty's goveremest have taken into conside-
ration the advantages that might result, politically and dean-
Melly, from using the route through Egypt for our troops
going to and returning from India ; whether any cone-
spoodenoe on the subject had passed between the Secretary
of State and any of the chief authorities at either of the pre.
at
in India • and if so, would there be any objection
to▪ lay the oorrespOndiume upon the table.
Sir C. WOOD said that his attention had beau directed to
the subject, and be had been roe (emu; with the military
and naval authorities ea to the desirability of the change of
route. The matter involved several considerations, one being
financial, and another an adverse report of a committeeof
that house some years ego. The subject, however, was at
present under the consideration of the government, and a
conclusion would probably be arrived at ere leng.

mid to me in substance what follow.:—'• You have declared

cabinet has received your despatch in a similar spirit of
peace sod of conciliation. You have told me that the re-
presentation you have made is founded upon the teals of
the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna of 1815. The Im-
perial cabinet, on its part, accepts this basis. The Imperial
cabinet is ready to enter upoe an exchange of Was upon
the ground and within the limits of the treaties of 1815."

MEXICO.

VERA CRUZ Oil Cadiz), Aria 15.
Geseral Bertbier has dispersed the forces under
Comonfort, who was on the march to Puebla with
reinforcements.

Ortega, who commands in Puebla, has offered
to capitulate on favourable conditions. General
Forey, however, demands the unconditional sur-
render of the city.
The municipality and the ladies of Puebla have
supplicated General Forey not to destroy the city.
The General answered that he hoped to obtain its
submission without firing a shot.
Ortega, with 15,000 men, has made an attempt
to force his way through the French columns, in
order to get to Mexico, but was repulsed with
considerable loss, and compelled to return to
Puebla.
NEW YORK, Arlux 24, Morino.
The New York journals publish news from Vera
Cruz to the 12th lust, vio Havannab.
French accounts stated that Comonfort, in
attempting to join Ortega in Puebla, was defeated
with considerable lies. Ortega was also repulsed
in attempting to make a sally from Puebla iu the
direction of the ca_pital. Ortega offered to capitu-
late, but General Foley refused, insisting upon an
unconditional surrender. In reply to a deputation
of the inhabitants, General Forey promised not to
bombard Puebla, as he had sufficient appliances to
compel the garrison to surrender. Provisions were
so plentiful in Vera Cruz that the French were said
to be selling them to the inhabitants and re-
shipping them to France.

NEW YORK. Arlin. 25, Arrzasoox.
The French corvette Bertholet arrived here 'this
morning, from Vera Cruz on the 7th. Her com-
mander states that the reports of a French defeat
at Puebla, are erroneous. All was quiet at Puebla
when the Bertholet left Vera Crus.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. --

(ram ova wont ootazarosmeer.)
PARIS, TIMM/AT EV13113,
The Prose seeks a motive for the omission in •
••i
Mouiteur of the Russian answer to the Aust.,
note ; and it ia, in point of fact, a curious tlt
that whereas the St. Petersburg Journal has alrti.
published all three despatches the French ;user
ment should think it advantageous, in any to
oeiveble point of view, to keep back one, for ti
very few hours which now stand between it u
universal publicity. The Presse observes that tl
suppressed despatch is the moot interesting of tk
three, on account of the double and delicate shoe
tion of Austria, who has a foot in each camp,
she protests with England and France, and at tin
same time holds Cracow by virtue of the iniquitous
partition of Poland, made by her jointly via
Russia and Prussia. As to the value of the he
despatches published, the Prease strikingly a
presses an opinion for local readers when it say,
that "had they been written by Viscount de k
Gueronniere himself they could not have beet
more vague, more ingenious, or more dilatory.'
To the Russian argument against the revolution.,"
tendencies of the epoch, the Frew opines that X
Dronyn de Lhuys will be reduced by the " logic of
the situation" to reply in the very terms usel bJ
England some years ago to France, when sbe thplo
matically attacked the right of asylum which reee
lutionists enjoy in England.

The Opinion Nationale thinks Prince Gorkha
kotre answer to France a chef d'murre of disb
matic courtesy. It is really a marvellous comci.
donee that the heart of Alexander HI, should b,
at this moment beating precisely in unison will
that of Napoleon 111. ; but at bottom it is cleat
that Russia says nothing, and seeks only to gait
time according to the rules of diplomatic art
"The question is, whether the cabinets will subm:
to be rocked to sleep."
The Petrie ventures openly to differ with el,
Moniteur's opinion that the despatches "open,
door to plans of conciliation," and says that .:
reality they contain "a refusal in measured au
polite language ; that is all."

GREECE.

The Nord of to-day says :—" If our information
be correct, the seoond conference relative to the
affairs of Greece was held yesterday in London. As
in the first sitting, which was held on April 29,
the Ambassador of France, the Ambassador of
Russia, and Earl Russell were to discuss the differ-
ent questions relative to the accession of King
George L to the throne of Greece in connexion
with the consent of the Danish court and the refusal
of King Otho to abdicate. It is thought that the
third meeting will not take plane before the 15th
inst. The Greek question may, therefore, be re-
garded se nearly settled, and the diplomatists look
upon it as almost decided."

BOUTHWAILIL

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT WEBTKINSTER•MUDGE.
Alice Selby, • good-lookiag young woman,of very respect-
•ble appearance, was brought before Mr. Combs charged
with attempting to commit suicide at Westminster-bridge.
Police-coestable 40 L said that • little after two o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, he was on duty in the Westminster-
road, when he received information that • female
had attempted to commit suicide from the bridge.
He proceeded there instantly, sod perceived the
prisoner rush off the bridge down the steps leading to the
river. He ran after her sod caught her at the bottom of
the steps, when he pulled her back and asked what she in-
tended to do. She replied she was was tired of her life,
and she meant to have drowned herself, and she begged of
him to allow her to do so. She app?ared in a very excited
slide, and cried bitterly,exclaiming, Oh. the vagabond, he
has ruined me." Wdneas then took her into custody.
Mr. Combe (to the priscasr)—What have you to say in
answer to the charge?
Prisoner (crying) —I don't know, sir. I was in great
tenable when I meditated suicide.
_

Mr. Combe—Where do you come from!
Prisoner—l belong to Bergolt, near Ipswich. in Suffolk,
and I have only been io London three days. I have not a
friend in this place, or anyone that I am soinainted with.
The oonstable here informed his worship that he had
ascertained from her that she was a married woman. and
that she had eloped from her husband with another man,
leaving three children behind. The man who seduced her
from her family brought her to London, and deserted her
the following day.
The prisoner told his wonhip that such was the fact, and
now she was so ashamed of her conduct that in a fit of
despondency she meditated committing suicide. She was
now in great distress of mind.
Mr. Combs directed the constable to communicate with
her husband and friends, and to give them sn opportunity
of knowing where she was; he should remand her to
Horseroonger-lane gaol, where she wonld be carefully looked
after.
The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler.
London, England, 1863-05-06

David Evans —1 witnessed some portion of the as cult
it was that upon the woman, who fell in consequence of a
blow given by Hutchinson with an umbrella. There was •
mob, and both defendants were very violent ; they were
fighting at everybody near them.
2SI N-1 heard • disturbance in the Hackney-road, and
reached it just as the female was knocked down ; both the
defendants were drunk.

Both the " gentlemen" when called upon to answer the
charge wished the magistrate to believe that they were en-
tirely blameless, mud that what had occurred OW consequent
upon having been molested by the woman whom complainant
called bin wife • that she had importuned them, and that
when they endeavoured to get rid of her, he came up and
grossly aimed them ; they added that it was very doubtful
whether the woman in question was hie wife.
Complainant indignantly answered thin imputation, adding
that she was not only his wife but the mother of eight chil-
dren. As regarded the defence set up it wan totally without
foundation. _

Mr. Cooke remarked upon the shameful and dustardly
nature of the case, which he and all who heard it must feel
satisfied was aggravated by the defence set U. He should
order that each defendant per a fine of 40a., and 20§.
coats, or in default 21 days' imprisonment in the House of
Correction.

The "gentlemen" were locked up for a considerable
time, but ultimately the amounts mentioned were forth-
coming sad they were then liberated.
