that the common characteristic in all their writhes is this ;
that their learning is always mooed-hand— Oases guff iseigh•

not say that because I • is secood-band it may not be
sound, or that knowledge hems. it is wooed-hand may
not be true. But this Ido say, without any fear of denial
from any man competent to give an opinion upon the sub-
jett—(laughter)—that there is something in original re-
search so invigorating to the intellect, end which Ito beams
sad disciplines the human mind, that those who have
esdergone that process arrive at their conditions with
peat caution and with great circumspection ; but whoa a
man of brilliant imagination baa to deal with a vast quan-
tity of facts which have been furnished by the labmis
of others, he is tempted too often to generalise with •
fatal [Jollity, and often arrives at conclusions which in time
he net ssly repudiates, but often has to refute. (Cheers.)
In the mend place, when I examine those who have been
the Inesters of the new school in this learning ; men who
undimbiedly have goes through the peu s s of original
messiah, mid have not found their equals for and
and erudite assiduity for many
=imerra.esholars of Germany—l find this in ate-1717rars.
Doing full justice to their qualities 1 find this Y their
labours, that there is really nothing new. (Great laughter
and cheers.) I will admit their great qualities ; as Haihraide
they are equal to the great scholars of the eighteenth, end
who flourished at the and of the seventeenth century. In
their knowledge of the Semitic dialect they are infi-
nitely superior. In the new theory, or science of language
as it is justly called, they have of course an advantage
which the old scholars have not shared with them, imams
its a *deuce that has ably been developed In elm own
time. But this Ido say, that in all important conclusions,
from the alleged materials of the Book of Genesis down to
the formation of the canon, and in every important event,
histrericed, literary, and spiritual, that occurred in that
hog interval, they have been anticipated by the peg
Hamm scholars who flourished is the eighteenth sad at
the end of the seventeenth centuries. (Cheers.) 1 know it
may be said, ad they have said it, that the suggestions of
Astro* or the investigations of Father Simon were knows
only to those who, like them, lived is their cella and their
colleges, but this is a vulgar and delusive error. The die:o-
mens of those men, unrivalled for learning in the age in
which they flourished, formed the wird and inspired the
labours of the two greatest bodies of intellectual beings that
have existed certainly does the Greek philosophers, and who
were so to the schoolmen —the freethinkers of Eng-
land the philosophers of France. Therefore the cow
elusions of those peat men—these groat scholars—mos
placed before the public mind. All that inexorableall that imeieUen rhetoric, all that the most be
wits could avail themselves of to popularise those views,
were placed before the minds of the two leading nations of
Europe—the people of England and the people of Frame.
And they produced their effect. The greatest of revolu-
tions was, I will not say, occasioned by those opinions, but
no one can deny that the promulgation of those opinions
largely contributed to that groat revolution popularly celled
the French revolution, which has not yet ended, and which
is certainly the greeted event that ever happened in the
history of emu. Only the fall of the Roman empire can
be compared to it. Bat that was going oo for centuries,
and so gradually QM it cannot for me moment be held to
have powerfully or injurioasl influenced the opinica of the
world. Now, what ? Look at the age in Midi
we live, and the time when these opinions were sucesedully
promulgated by men who, lam sure, with no intestion to
disparage the new party, I may vesture to say watt net
unequal to them. Lock at the Europe of the present day
and the Europe of tee hundred years ago. It is not the
same Europe. Its very form is changed. Whole nations
and great nations which then flourished are no longer
found. There is sot a political constitution in Europe
existing at the present time which then existed. The
leading community of the continent of Europe has changed
all its landmarks, altered its boundaries, erased ite local
names—the whole jurisprudence of Europe has been
altered—even the tenure of land, which of all human in-
stitutions most grade the character of man, has been
altered—the feudal orient) has been abolished. Not merely
laws have bees changed—not merely manner* have been
changed, but customs have been changed. And what hap-
tamed? When the turbulence was over—when the shout of
triumph and the wail of Amoy were alike stilled—when, wit
were, the waters bed disappeared, the mired heighti of
Sinai and Calvary were again revealed, sod amid the wreck
of thrones and tribunals, of extinct anions and abolished
laws, mankind bowed again before the Divine truths that
had been by the omnipotmt power of His ineffable wisdom
entrusted to the custody of and the promulgation by • chosen
people. (Loud cheering) Well, then, because all their
views are second-hand and not new; because
they have already been placed before the mind of
man with a power and spirit that it is in vain to expect
will be again equalled ; because, after so many sorrows
and purified by so mush suffering, mankind have rejected
this new learning which is bolstered up foe our edification,
I believe that the efforts of this new school, powerful se
they are and influential at this moment, and most injurious
to these diocesan societies, will fail. (Cheers.) Before sitting
down there is only one other point I will touch upon in
reference to them. We are told every day that all I
may have feebly expressed to you may be true; but
at the same time there is a characteristic of the present
age which never existed in preceding ages, and
which most be ruinous and destructive to the
church and to all religious establishments, and that is
the program*[ echoes. The teachings of science sod its
discoveries ere sot, we are told, consistent with the teach-
ings of the church. Now, I am sure there is sot ono ia
this theatre whole not prepared to do full justice to the
merits of scientific men, and who does not fully appredate
those discoveries of science which have added so much to
the convenience of life sad to the comfort of man. Bat it
is of greet importable, when this tattle shoat science is
mentimed, that we should mom to it precise ideas. (Hear.)
I hold that the highest (machos of mince is the be-
terpretation of nature—end the interpretation of the highest
nature is the highest science. What is the highest nature?
Men is the highest nature. But I most say that whoa you
compare the interpretation of the highest nature with the
most advanced, the most fashionable sod modish school of
modern sohnoe—compero that with mom other hmehhge

with which we are familiar—l am not prepared to eay that
a lecture room hi more mientific than the church. (Cheers.)
What is the question now placed before society with •
glib assurance the most astounding? The questioa is this—
Is • man an ape or as angel? (Loud laughter.)My lord, I am
oe the side of the angel. (Laughter and cheers.) I repudiate
with indignation and abhorrence those views. (Cheers.) I be-
lieve they are foreign to the consciences of humanity, and I
will say more them that, even in the strictest intellectual point
of view, I believe the severest metaphysical analysis is op-
posed to the conclusion. Bat on the other hand, what does
the church teach us? What is its interpretation of this
highest nature. it teach, as that man is made in the
image of his Creator • source of inspin.tioo, of
solace ; • source from which can flow only right
principle of meals and every divine truth. (Chess.)
I say, therefore, that when we are told that the teachings
of the church are not cossistant with the discoveries of
science, and that in that sense the inferiority of the church
is shows, I totally deny the proposition. (Cheers.) I NIT
that the scientific teaching of the church upon the most
important of all subjects is, in fact, infinitely superior to
anything that has been brought forward by any of those
new discoveries. (Cheers.) In fort, it is between those
two principles that society will have to decide. Upon oar
acceptance of that divine truth of which the church is the

It is the only security for civilisation. It is the
ruw7gn7rantee of real pogrom. (Hear, hoar.) Now, it is
to promote, to foster, sod to =Mod is this country. list
mainly, of course, to-day in this diocese, the teaching of
the church that we are assembled here. Let us, if we ma,
carry out in spirit the resolution which has been moved by
my right Loa. friend. Let us act at least with united
mere, with that cordial co-operation which, if churchmen
share, they will carry everything before them ,• and then
discarding. as we have sumeeefully &warded, all the
attempts which for some time appeared to paralyse our
efforts and circulate distrust emoopt us from those who
are the opponents of the church and the church prieciplea.
Let us squally discard those newfangled ideas of this new
party in the church, which have extended only because
persons are always captivated with • novelty, hut which I
think, as I have shown, is not extremely new ; sad let on
by our united efforts apport those measures to which I ad-
verted at the commenosmeot of my observations, and ems.
Melly the actions of them diocesan institutions. (The
right hoe. gentleman here resumed his seat amidst 'elm-
moot and protracted cheers.)

The rosolution was supported by Yr. A. J. B. HOPE, who
expressed so anxious desire that imager more systematic,

The question raised for the court was whether the amount
of the call upon the defendant's shares wee a " contingent

ruptcy, instead of being sued for is the present action.
The Court, alter hearing en argument of some lemth,

WOLVLILHAMPION LOCAL HOARD OF MULTI( O. 1111111.
This me raised an important question with regard to the
recovery of rates by local boards of heelth. In March,
1862, the board of health at Wolverhampton made a rate
upon the defendant, sad some other owner of property, to
cover the expense of paving a certain street in that town,
his proportion being 31. Bs. 6d.The defendant disputed the
amount of the proportions, complained that the total sum
levied we. excessive, and required the matter to be referred
to arbitration, seder the gentians of the Public Health
Act. The plaintiffs replied that an arbitrator could only
ester into an inquiry as to the proportions, and not as to
whether the amount wee excessive, and took out a summon.
before the justices for the amount they claimed from the
defendant. The matter came before the justices on the 4th
of Antnst, 1862, and, without entering upon the merits,
they ambeed the summons, on the ground that the
original notices to the owners and occupiers to repair the
pavement ware bad. Afterwards the Court of Common
Pleas decided that the notices were perfectly good. Upon
the dismissal of the summons by the magistrates the
plaintiffs proceeded by arbitration mdsr the statute, but
when the award was made it was objected to. TM ere
meant taken to the Court of Common pleas, who decided
that the award was bad, and set it aside, but uprooted a
strug opinion that the proceeding was vexations, Mr.
Justice Bytes observing that be thought the defendant
ought to pay. The plaintiffs were then advised that the
mode of recovering the roomy wee through the
proper
Court, there being • provision in the Local Go-
verment Act (24 and 25 Vic., cap. 61, age. 2) to the effect
that promedinp for the recovery of demands below 201.,
which local boards of health are now empowered by law
to recover in • summary manner, may at the option of the
local board be taken in the County Court as if such demand.
were debts within the cogaimace of such courts. A plaint
wee accordingly obtained against the defendant, but when
the came came on in the County Court it woe objected
on the part of the defendant that the plaintiffs having
gone before the justices, had exercised the option gives by
the atatot, as to the coarse they should pursue, and could
not go before another tribunal, and that as the justices had
dealt with the matter the County Court judge weausted of
his jurisdiction. The judge, however, thought that the
metier had pot base adjudicated upon sad disposed of by
the justices, heard the oars, and gave judgment for the
plaintiffs. During the present term Mr. Macnamara ob-
tained • rule for • prohibition to stay the proceeding in the
County Court, and it now tame on for argument.
Mr. J. J. Powell, on the part of the plaintiffs, contended
that th4oousty Court judge was not deprived of jurisdiction
by the proceeding before the justices, is they dismissed
the summons without entering upon the merits, and in
doing* so left the matter in the same position as if • nonsuit
Ibad been entered.

----Mkr.Bsi;uMartin said he thought that taking out the

Mr. Powell said if the justices had adjudicated upon the

operated as an estoppel, but they bad not dons so.

Ingptelpesred that a verdict bad bees given against the

and he now came here for the purpose of being discharged
from it, though he wan living at home in luxury with his
father. This was an abuse of the statute, which was Dever
meant for the relief of pumas from such debts as this, and
the petition ought to be dismissed. By the 112th section of
the old act (still in force), the court was forbidden to release
from custody persons against whom judgment had been
given for seduction or other VlOOll ' • and such debtors ought
sot to be discharged from the lesser oomegnenoes of their

Ur. Lewis contended that the bankrupt was entitled to
his discharge. The court had no power to punish him for
any other °fleeces then those specified in the 159th series*
but voider the 112th section of the old act the court bad
power to refuse the Meese from custody. B the 159th
section the juriediatica of the court was properl7 limited to
oceninercial offeeoss. It was said that the potation ought
to be dismissed because the bankrupt cams with only sae
debt ; as though the ewe would have been made better by the
bankrupt incurring debts in all directions. There was
nothing in the act to prevent a debtor from seeking relief
from oise debt, if he thought proper so to do. The leading
object of the set of 1861 was to assist everyone in getting
free from debt, if he could do ao. Were the court to take
cognisance of the offices which the bankrupt bed com-
mitted, and for whirls he bad been punished by another
court, it would be assuming a jurisdiction which did sot
belong to it, and which bed been expressly taken away by
the act of 1861. It was now no objection to a bankrupt ,
that be came to the court without siesta and could never'
be made a ground for dismissing the petition. The doors
of the court were now thrown open to all comers ; they

of Griffiths, had been decided by the Chancellor on a simi-
