TERMINATION OF THE CASE OF THE
ARCHDEACON OF TAUNTON.
_.4.__

The obstacles which the Bishop of Bath and Wells
has interposed compelled the Archbishop either to forego
further proceeding. or to constitute a new court, as he was
empowered to do under the Clergy Discipline Act. His
grace's legal advisers, however, have given it as their opi-
nion that, though undoubtedly he might avail himself of
the powers couternd on him by the act, the attempt would
be so full of difficulty, perplexity, and procrastination, as to
render the further prosecution of the matter unwise. The
Archbishop hen, therefore, declined any further actin
the cue.

SUSPECTED MURDER.

On Saturday night last Mrs. Sarah May, aged 45
years, residing with her husband at No. 4, Eden-place,
Old Kent-road, left her home for the purpose of purchasing
• bl►ck-lead brush, and not returning up to 12 o'clock, bar
husband went is search of her; but though he walked
about during the whole of the night, and made inquiries of
every policeman he met, he could not obtain the slightest
intelligence about her. Early on Sunday morning a labouring
man, named Biddles,residing at Perry-vale, Forest-bill, was
crossings large field on what is known as Tagg's Farm,when
he was attracted to the violent barking of his dog, and on
going to the spot where the animal stood, he found the
dead body of • female (since identified as that of Mrs. May),
with her elotbee turned over her head, lying in a deep
furrow or watercourse, with marks of severe siolcue on the
countenance and elsewhere. Deceased appeared to have
been abused and murdered. The body was at once removed
to Camberwell workhouse, and carefully examined by the
parish surgeon, who gave it as his decided opinion that death
had resulted from violence. From inquiries silica actively
prosecuted by the police, it appears that about one o'clock
on Sunday morning deceased was teen by • policeman in
the Queen's road, Peckham, in company with a respectably-
dressed man, and both were then proceeding towards New-
cross-gate. This is the last time she was seen alive. It
was also ascertained that, on hearing of the discovery, two
gentlemen had traced the footsteps of a man from a bridge
on the Crystal Palace line of railway, and not far from the
Dartmouth Arms public-house, to where the body lay, and
traces of blood on the snow were then quite visible; but
the rapid thaw has obliterated all trace of the footsteps as
well as the blood.

The husband of deceased 'toted t ) the officers that he
did not know any friend or acquaintance of hers who could
be in her company at inch an hour as that described by the
constable, 90 P.

Sergeant Quinnear mentions that at the time the body
wu found it was stripped of both these and stockings, yet
there was lying on the bank by its tide a drawn velvet
bonnet belonging to the deceased, not in the least degree
soiled or injured; and this circumstance confirms that
officer in hie suspicions that the body must have been
carried to where ft had been found ; for had the deceased
herself scrambled a distance of three miles and upwards,
which she must have done through hedge and ditch, her
bonnet must have been destroyed or torn to pieces. His
impression ia that the violence which resulted in her death
must have been inflicted at the railway bridge, and that
the body had been carried by the remit whose footsteps
had been noticed from thence to where it had been found.
Had it not been for the accidental circumstance of the
man Biddies crossing the field, and I acing a dog with him,
the body might have lain for many days where it bed been
found, as it wu a secluded spot, and the body itself could
not have been seen from any distance.

GENERAL BOSQUETS ADDRESS TO H]
TROOPS.

The attack on the Malakhoff it has already been
stated, was directed by General Baguet. General
McMahon was the first to lead his division to the
breach, having the Zonaves of the Guard for &reserve.
General de la Motterouge led the next division, hav-
ing the Grenadiers and the Voltigeurs of the Goard '
as a reserve. This division attacked the curtain
which connects the Malakhoff to the Redan. The
following is the order addressed by General Baguet
to the troops under his command immediately before
going into action :
"Soldiers of the second corps and of the reserve.)
On the 7th of June you had the honour to strike
proudly the first blow right to the heart of the Rus-
sian army. On the 16th of August, on the Tchernays,
you inflicted a most shameful humiliation upon the
enemy's army of relief. To-day it is the coup de
grace, the coup riot*, that you are about to strike
with that firm hand which the enemy knows so well,
by carrying his line of defence at the hoff, while
our comrades of the English army and of the First
Corps will commence the assault of the Redan and
the Central Bastion.

" This is a general ammult--army against army.
It is an immense victory, with which the young
eagles of France ars this day to be orowned.
" Forward, then. enfant! Malakhoif and Sebas-
topol for us, and' Vies l'Empereur !'

The Constantinople correspondent of the Univers
has transmitted to that joarnal, under date of the
9th of the present month, the text of a message
which the first interpreter of the English Embassy
is said to have laid before the Sultan on the part of
Lord de Radcliffe. The Univers vouches for the 1
authenticity of the documents which are reproduced
in the Pattie and the Independence Beige. We give
them with all reserve. The following is the
message:

BirelLord de RedoWe has charged me to prevent his
homage and felicitation to your Majesty on the occasion of
the Bairam, and at the same time to eall your Majesty's
attention to certain reports, which are circulating with
respect to the approaching entry of Mehemet Ali into the
Ministry. Your Majesty, by thus forgettieg the promise
which you deigned to make in this respect to the ambireador,
would compromise him with his own government, and would
inflict a severe blow on your own sovereign dignity.
The Sultan is said to have replied thus :

My Dear M. Pimai,—l am muter in my own house.
My ministers are my men. Tell your ambassador that I
take twins. that I dismiss them, that I exile them, that I
pardon them, that I restore t►em and dismiss them again

A large proportion of the eloquence expended at
the Wexford tenant-right demonstration was devoted
to the question which forms the object of Mr. Lucas's
mission to Rome, namely, the right of the Roman
catholic bishops to prevent their priests from inter-
fering in violent party politics. Several of the local
priests expressed their opinions warmly on the sub-
ject, as did also Mr. M'Mahon, M.P., Mr. C. G.
Duffy, M.P., and Mr. G. IL Moore, M.P. The
following resolution, embodyingthe feeling et the
meeting, was moved by one priest, and seconded by
another, and was carried with acclamation, viz.:
That tha priests and people of Ireland have been ever
identified in their sufferings, in their sympathies, and in
their efforts to remove the mall wrunp that have been
indicted as therm, both y and *sesta/ly; that there

tained by Russia of the competition of Galata and

to England was generally from 2sh. to 3sh. per quarter
higher than from Odessa—in consequence of the time
and expense of crossing the bar, as mentioned above
—the export of grain from those ports nu much
more considerable than that from Odessa. Is the
year 1851, Galata and Braila exported no less than
8,588,824 tachetwerts of grain, and Odessa only
4,830,484. But in the year 1853, when the
navigation of the Salina bar was all bat
alma, and ships were sometimes delayed for
six and eight weeks in discharging their
cargoes into lighters, crossing the bar, and re-ship-
ping them, these proportions were reversed, and the
exports of °slate and Braila fell to 4,813,000 tschet-
werte, while those of Odessa rose to 15,482,000. In
1851 no less than 55 German vessels arrived in the
Danubian parts, viz.: 23 Prussian, 10 Mecklenburg,
9 Oldenburg, 8 Hanseatic, and 5 Hanoverian. In
1853 there were but four Prussian, and not one of the
other flags was seen. S. A.

PARIS, THUMB/A Rvaxise.
We must wait for some days before the whole truth
concerning the recent invasion of the Dobrutscha by
the Russians can be known. The weight of tale.
graphic testimony is now in favour of the hypetheek
that they have completely evacuated the territory.
Nevertheless, with the full knowledge of the most
recent news, M. Grimier de Cusagnee, the fe,
vonrite mouthpiece of the French government ft
great occasions, publishes in the Constitutions,:
a leading article, in which he treats it as a question
yet doubtful whether the affair of the Dobrutetha
may not yet be so serious as to make it import,.
dye upon Austria, under the provisions of the treaty
of the 14th June, to declare war upon Russia a 1
once.

According to the Debate, the military campfire
between Piedmont and the Western Powers is yet
to be signed, the treaty of December 10 hay.
ing left for future settlement the number
and destination of the Piedmontese contingent.
This statement may perhaps explain a rumour current
here, which I did not think sufficiently probable to
be worth alluding to, that the announcement of
Piedmont having agreed to furnish 15,000 men ern
premature. It admits that this force is agreed to
be sent to the Crimea, and that it will ba placed
under the supreme command of Lord Raglin, so that
any further convention that may be necessary is
merely a matter of form.
The official announcement in the 411oxiteur show-
ing that the prodigious amount of subscriptions to
the loan (2 milliards, 175 million) had, surpassed
even the most sanguine anticipations, prodned a
great effect at the opening of the Bourse. The Rents
was first quoted at 6W. 90c., being a rise of
lfr. 10c. It was well-known that no great mi.
(allot would get any of the loan, but it was not
suspected that the subscriptions of 500 fr. Route
would be reduced to from 290 fr. to 300 tr. The WV
tainty that an immense number of small investments
must be made by parties who sold out to take part
in the loan, gave a great stimulus to business. There
was, however, a reaction in the afternoon and the
Rents closed at d9fr. 35c., with a rise of only 6*.
Bank of France rose 25fr. Railways upon the
whole rather lower.

General de Hicard, first aide-de-camp to Prince
Jerome, and Dr. Hutin, first Physician to the Hotel
des Invatides, lett Paris yesterday morning for Mar-
seines, to await the arrival of Prince Napoleon from
Constantinople.
The English evening papers and letters had not
been received up to six o'clock. The weather has
suddenly become intensely cold, and no doubt the
Channel is rough.
Last night at twelve o'clock the thermometer of
M. Chevalier stood at 7 B.loths Centigrade (18 Fah-
renheit), and at six o'clock this morning at 9 deg.
Cent. (151 F.) At noon to-day the glass had a little
risen, being at 6 5-10 the Cent. (20 1-3 F.)
