Lnsc or AOY~II CATHOLIC PICIIS T.'

Mr. Baddeley applied, at the sitting of the court this
morning, on behalf of the Rev. Peter Daley, a Roman catholic
priest of the town of Galway, in Ireland, for a role to show
canes wh • criminal information should not be Cod against
Messrs. jledbury and Evans, as the registered pub-
lishers and Zion of Punch, for a libel fam-
taped endpublished in Punch of the l9th of
April, on r of the rev. gentleman, contained
in • heeded " The Christian Hero and Lucifer
M is whisk it was stated that the rev. gentleman
had made me of seditious language, at • dinner given in
Galway, on Candffintin-day, a day of festivity in Ireland,
and reessumeded the sending over a secret band of persons
elmataimimisly to Liverpool, Plymouth, Portsmouth,
Ilbeerneek and ether ports, for the purpose of setting
are to and burning down the English fleet. In the
affidavit of Mr. Daley, in support of the application, he not
only denied that he had ever uttered the words attributed
to him, bat stated that he had always entertained such
a proposition with unqualified abhorrence and disgust ; and
he charged the libel as being • most atrocious and wanton
attack upon his sacred calling. He admitted presiding at
the dinner in Galway referred to in the libel, but the din-
nee was not a political one ; and it was on the 'sprees an-
dentanding that polities should not be discussed that he
consented to preside. At the dinner, however, • Mr. Blake,
in returning thanks to the toast " the Press," did make use
of words similar to those charged as having been uttered byMr.
Daley, but as soon as he (Mr. Blake) did so, he (Mr. Daley)
as &airman, and sup reed by the whole eomny, ex-
pressed his horror arid • at the language of Mr. Blake,
and insisted that if he di not desist he should be turned
out of the room. He, Mr. Daley, did not know of or see
the libel until the latter end of April, and he had felt bound
to leave Ireland to seek, by the aid of the Court of Queen's
Bench, reparation for so wanton and atrocious an attack on
his character. Mr. Baddeley produced affidavits of Mr.
O'Flaherty and another gentleman who were present at the
dinner, who confirmed Mr. Daley's statement.

ear, hear.) He hoped that both companies might be
made to fall in with their views, and that they could make
a fair and equitable arrangement with all, so as to develop
the resources of the three companies. (Cheers.) The report
informed them that a committee of shareholders of
the East Anglian Company had waited upon them. They
were received by the directors; but it was impossible to
enter into any negotiations with them, as that body was not
properly constituted, but more particularly because the
East Anglian Company were at that time engaged in nego-
tiations with the -Lrreat Northern. Now, belied no hesita- t
lion in saying that he was prepared to recommend, on the R.
part of the Eastern Counties Company, more advantageous 5t...,
terms than they could obtain front the Great Northern. so
(Hear, hear.) The Eastern Counties Union, leaving docks 15
at Ely, were able to put themselves in an antagonistic
position, for they could immediately place their 23
barges on the ricer, and so divert the traffic
from the East Anglian and the Great Northern lines. But tr.
he hoped that the Great Northern Company, instead of 2$
carrying on the fight with the Eastern Counties, would
come to terms of alliance which would be mutually bench- IS
vial to both companies. (Hear, hear.) As he had said, the 23
Eastern Counties Company had determined to bring back „9E
the traffic to their line, and for this purpose to adopt wise S'
and judicious measures. They proposed to encourage the in
building of villas along the line by issuing season tickets as
for 21 years. By means of their arrangement with the $24
Blackwell Railway they would be able to come 122
into Fenehureh-street, so as to give the greatest it '
facilities to persons living in London to go and 17
conic from those villas. The chairman then explained in de-
yp
tail the nature of the arrangements between the Eastern 16;
Counties and the Blackwell companies, and called on the ti-
proprietors to judge the directors by their merit, and not in tos
a hostile or carping spirit. (Hear, hear.) .1f they were 10
not able to put their railway in the soundest position, they se
yet hoped to put it in a sound and healthy one. (Cheers.)
Mr. BOX moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, which to
having been seconded and carried, the meeting adjourned.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 22nd contains, in Latin
and Spanish, an apostolic letter of the Pope, dated
the Sth of September, relative to the Concordat. It
begins by stating that the convention undertaken by
Pope Gregory XVI., of happy memoiy, did net pro-
duce the desired result, but that the present Pope,
on the player of his well-beloved daughter in Christ,
Maria Isabells, catholic Queen of Spain, he had sent
to that kingdom the venerable brother John, arch-
bishop of Thessulonica, to regulate the affairs of the
church and of religion. In the negotiations
fur the Concordat," says his holiness, "a great
consolation was given to us by the decided will
of our well-beloved daughter in Christ, in favour of
religion. We have decided that in this concordat it
should be established before all, that the catholic
and apostolic Homaii church, with all the rights
which it enjoys by divine institution, and by the
sanction of the holy canons, shall entirely regulate
and dominate, as in the past, all the kun;dom of
Spain—so that the calamities of past times cannot
cause it any detriment ; that, to the exclusion of all
other forms of worship, the catholic doctrine shall
be taught with purity in all universities, colleges,
seminaries, and public and private schools; that the
inviolable rights of the church, pi incipally in
spiritual things, shall be strictly preserved; that the
prelates and sacred ministers shall be free in the
exercise of their episcopal functions, and in the holy
! ministry especially to guide the faith, and to de-
' fend the doctrine, customs, and ecclesiastical dis-
-1 cipline ; and that setting aside all difficulties and
obstueles,'all and each shall accord the consideration
and authority due to ecclesiastical authority and
I dignity." The apostolic letter concludes by stating
' that whoever shall have the audacity and temerity to
attack that document, approved, ratified, and con-
firmed by his Holiness, must know that iu so doing
he will incur the wrath of Almighty God, and of his
Apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul. The letter is scaled
with the leaden seal.

Some of the journals contain as address of
M. Mendizabel to the people, giving his profes-
sion of political faith. Ile declares that ho is
as liberal as ever he was, and will never bo less so.
M. Gonzalez Bravo has been definitively nominated
minister of Spain to Naples. There were rumours of
further modifications in the ministry. The Herald°
remarks that the customs, which in 1P433 yielded
60,000,000 teals, rose to 116,000,000 in 16.50.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ocr. 12.
The question of the Egyptian railroad may now
be said to be satisfactorily settled. It is to be re-
gretted that a very wrong opinion with regard to the
conduct of the Porte in this question existed in Eng-
land. The Sultan's government were never at any
time opposed to the establishment of a railroad in
Egypt, all that they required was that the terms
of the treaty, which made the government
of Egypt hereditary in the family of Me-
hemet Ali, should be respected. According, to
that treaty which was guaranteed b' Great Britain,
the Pacha of Egypt could embark m no important
enterprise without having first obtained the permit'•
sion of the Sublitue Porte. There is nothing which
the present ministers in Turkey desire more than to
have an opportunity of showing that they are not
ungrateful to England for the aid site gave
them during the war in Syria, and on the
late suspension of relations with Russia. They
were perfectly aware that a railroad through
Egypt was of the highest importance to English in-
terests, and they therefore at once professed their
willingness to aid in the undertaking. But they did
not wish existing treaties to be openly violated, and
to avoid an event which seemed probable, they made
known to Abbas Pasha that he had but to go through
the form of asking the Sultan's permission
to construct the proposed railroad, and that
it would be instantly granted. Nothing could be
more conciliating than this conduct on the part of
the Porte; indeed it mast he regarded as a remark-
able concession, for according to the terms of the
treaty to which we have alluded, the Pasha by an
overt act of disobedience to the Sultan subjected
himself to be dismissed for ever from the govern-
ment of Egypt. It is only out of common justice
to the Turkish government that we make these state-
ments which are all drawn front the official documents
which have appeared upon this question. The mat-
ter is now, we are happy to say, at rest, the rail
will be established, and that without any act of
disobedience on the part of Abbas Pasha or of
any disrespect to his sovereign at Constantinople.
With regard to the conduct of Sir Stratford Can-
ning on this question, it has been in harmony
with every act of his whole life. Amongst the
Turkish people he has obtained the title of "the just,"
from the stern rectitude of his character. No one
has laboured harder, through a long career, for the
honour and the interests of England; but he would
not consent to see an existing treaty violated by
Abbas Pasha, when the object in negotiation could
be obtained without appearing to support the go-
vernor of Egypt in a rebellious attitude against his
sovereign. Sir Stratford advised the mezzo ternthde
which the Porte finally, and out of respect for the
British ambassador, adopted, and which has suc-
ceeded in settling this unnecessarily vexed question.

upsinly.
Other witnesses were r bout to he called, hut Mr. Bu-
ehannan said Mr. Smith was willing to admit that defen-
dants had purchased the fringe honi stly and in the usual
way of business, but that the cl •of the Police Act was
imperative, inasmuch as it only rendered it necessary to
show that the goods were stolen property to enable the
Magistrate to make the order for their restoration.
Mr. Norton contended that the goods in question formed
a part of the 46 pieces.
Alderman Hooper thought it was not satisfactorily proved
that the 11 cards were not a portion of the 46 pieces of
fringe restored to Mr. Milligan by Mr. Arnold's order, and
he should therefore dismiss the summons.

TIIE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The activity displayed in removal seemed yesterday
to he rather on the increase, especially in the foreign de-
partments. Allusion has often been made to the fart that
numerous sales are effected by exhibitors. Another loco-
motive engine followed that of the Great Western Company
yi:stcrduy morning. In fact the whole of that part of tho
building devoted to articles of that and a similar description
is now in motion. The sugar mill hm; nearly vanished;
the machine for printing the iffisstratiii Lwcdwa !Seim went
on Saturday.

A farewell dinner on a scale of great liberality and
splendour, was given at the London Coffee-house last
evening, by George Peabody, Esq., an American gentleman
long resident in England, to his countrymen who have con-
tributed to the Great Exhibition. There were present Mr.
Lawrence, the United States envoy; Lord Granville; Sir
Henry Dialyser, the British minister to America : Sir Joseph
Paxton; Mr. Thompson flunkey, Governor of the Bank of
Englund; Mr. Bates; the American Commissionero ; tho
Secretary of Legation; and about eighty or ninety other
gentlemen. The banquet room was appropriately decorated
with the Nags and banners of England and America, enve-
loping full-length portraits of her Majesty, Prince Albert,
and the President of the United State:. The proceedings
were of the most enthusiastic character, and the eloquent
and practical remarks of the respective envoys, the lord
commissioner, the lion. Mr. Walker, Sir J. Paxton, and
the other gentlemen, prolonged the social meeting to a late
hour, and caused all present to separate with kindly feelings
towards their liberal host, and with a warm acknowledg-
ment of the cordiality with which the American visitors
have this year been everywhere received iu this country.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLock.

The share market yesterday afternoon closed at a
decline from the prices of the morning, which to-day
is rather more strongly marked. Most of the descrip-
tions usually dealt in are quoted at a fractional reduc-
tion in value, the market being extremely quiet, with
a fiat tone generally prevailing. Great Westerns
have receded to 801; London and North Westerns, to
1131; Midlands, to 48 ; and South Eastern., to 185.
The traffic returns continue to be canvassed with a
good deal of interest, and parties appear to be hold-
ing aloof, with a view to seeing what turn they will
take after the influence of the Exhibition has quite
passed off.
The total receipts on the South Eastern Railway
for the week ending the 23th inst. amount to 13,4261.,
against 12,1211. in the corresponding week of last
year, being an increase of 1,0021. The London and

FRANKFORT.

Very little doubt can now be entertained that the
provisional central power organised at Dresden, osten-
sibly to meet a sadden emergency, is really a plan for
superseding the conferences, and the provisional cha-
racter of the institution is a mere pretext. The Frank-
fort correspondent of the Cohere Gusette writes to
the following effect, under date Jan. 27 :

We are given to understand here, from the beat-informed
circles, that the new Provisional Central Power will be
established at latest towards the middle of next month. This
interim Is to be constituted esuntially in accordance with
the ritolution of the compact (Vertrag) of the 30th Sep-
tember, 1849. It will be associated with • military
dictatorship, in order that, in ow of any menacing
disturbances in neighbouring states, all may be fully
prepared to meet them. There is hardly a doubt
that Frankfort will be the seat of the new power. His
Royal Highness the Prince of Pr%lrate, and his Anal Hi4h-

nem the Archduke Albrecht of Austria. are, we are positively
assured, to be investel with the executive authority. The
Dresden conferences will sew so soon so the Prooisoriuns
is established ; but a Diet, fully representing all the govern-
'tents, will continue the " revision " of the Band constitu-
lion in Frankfort. As the "narrower councils" have pro-
voked so much opposition, and the "grouping system " of
M. von Piordten has fallen to the ground, nothing remains
but a return to the old Diet. In perlits, the question,
we hear, has been already mooted, as to who will reps.

seat Prussia at the Diet in case Count Alvan'ellen should
decline doing so. Lieut.-Gen. Selagyneky, and Lieut.• Gen.
Reyher have been named as persons likely to receive this

The same correspondence adds that in diplomatic
circles the necessity of making Rendsburg a diet
fortress, has been much insisted on, in order dually
to extinguish the jealousies of Schleswig-Holsteia and
Denmark on this subject.

AUSTRIA.

It seems that centralisation was Schmerling's
stumbling-block. A letter from Vienna, of Jan. 26th,
says:

It is thought that the retreat or M. Schroerling betokens
some relaxation or the centralizing principle, and that some
cinceasione wtll be made to the national opinim, in adminis-
trative affairs on this subject.

Lord Campbell now delivered judgment in this ease, and
said that it had been conceded that the pauper had lived for
five years in the pariah from which hewn removed, and that
be could not be legally removed, onleu an interrorion of
such a residence had taken place. It had been assumed that
the pauper was removed from the respondent parish, the
intention being that he should return to it when he came
out of prison. The point as to the interruption of the ?Ml-
dance was then raised, and it woo argued that absence by
imprisonment was to be considered a, an in•erruption. The
court Saw no reason for taking suck a view of the cue,
whilst the danger of attempting to destroy the right by
imprisonment was no reason against such a construction.
Some of the authorities which had been referred to would
rather lead to the conclusion that .imprisonment would in-
terrupt the residence; but, when the cases were looked Into,
it appeared that such a rule had not keen laid down. If die
court were to decide that the power of removing a passer
from a parish would be done away with by every Wapiti:fit-
ment, the pauper would be too much restricted; and doe
court had come to the decision that their judgment should be
against the appellant parish under the circumstances whit*
had been stated in the argument.
Judgment for the appellant parish accordingly.

Mr. Badman, of Haswell -street, said—l was at Bums:-

which we were, and the prisoner put his band inns my

I am in a state of perfect perplexity as to what is about
to be done. lam told, on pretty rood authority, that the
1 new bridge will certainly be erected on the old site ; that
Kr. Barry has quite changed his opinion about the bridge
being injurious to the new horses; but that he wishes
the new structure to be 100 feet broad, and flatter than
the present one, allowing 18 feet only from high-water
mark to the key-stone of the arches. To this propmal, I
hear, the City Navigation Committee object, and say they
must have 26 feet clear above high•water mark. Is not the
present bridge, with three arches blocked up in the antis of
the Thames, a disgrace to the country—the centre arches of
a metropolitan bridge kept up by a wooden leg I,—Cor-

GERMANY.

The intervention of Austria in Bosnia, says the
New Prettsaische Zeit ang, appears to be definitivelyde-
eided on. Troops art already coneentered in Semlin
and .11tgradiska. They will in all probability be
placed under the command of the Ban. The *little
fleet cruising off the Dalmatian coast is also to be I
augmented. The march of troops towards Italy had'
much increased within the last few days.
The Prussian government has suffered an equivo-
cal defeat in the Second Chamber. In the debate
on the budget the following amendment of M. Simson
was adopted, and on a second verification of votes
rejected : " That the Chamber should resolve that
the government is not lawfully entitled to appro-
priate the expenditure of the financial year be-
ginning
.on the Ist of January." In the last
I ministerial council held at Berlin it was determined
that, in case Austria should refuse to admit the
parity: a return to the old Diet should
be insisted on. A declaration to this effect, with a
long setting Mrth of motives, has been sent to Vienna.
In the late plenary sitting Prussia required that all
the states should give theireousent to the nine-vote pro-
ject, thus rejecting altogether the proposal of a one-
sided signing of the protocol. Brunswick and Nassau
both declared fbr the reduction of votes. The greater
number of the other states sheltered themselves be-
hind their " want of sufficient instruction." . .

la the Nigic Preussivhe Zeitung there is an article
maintaining that Prussia's consent to the entrance of
Austria with all her states into the Blind should
be dependent on Austria's adoption of the dualistic
purity principle.

THE MURDER AT FROME.

On Monday last, three men, who were aypre- !
headed last week on suspicion of being concerned in the
murder of the daughter of Watts, at West Woodlands,
were brought befor: the magistrates of Frome for a preli-
minary examination. The names of the men are William
Maggs, William Sparrow, and Robert Hurd, and they ore
' men of notoriously bad character. Maggs is about forty- ,
five years of age, and is a convicted thief, living at a cot-
tage about a mile and a half out of Frome, on the road to
VVest Woodlands, the scene of the murder ; and, on his
house being searched by Sergeant Smith, a large quantity
of sugar, soap, and cheese, apparently stolen property, was
V discovered. William Sparrow is about twenty-three years
of age, has been twice convicted of felony, and is a returned
convict; he lived with Maggs. Hurd is about thirty-five
years of age ; he is a prise-fighter, vulgarly known as
" FlOlllllll Hob," is a frequenter of fairs, and was convicted at
the Wells &i ago of pick
ons three months in pockets.
These three men form a gang which has infested the
neighbourhood of Frame fur some time, and they had been
appeehended at Westbury on suspicion of stealing a watch,
which was found in the pwoeasion of Hurd.
The prisoners were remanded until Monday neat.

as oboes to accompany him, should be treated with all duel
consideration. The Rajah believed in the sincerity of the
professions of the Dewan, and left the fort with the female
members of his family, and some attendants, about fifty
persons in all. On entering the Dewan's camp, their
united cry was for water, as they were dying of thirst. The
Dewiest ordered that water should be supplied to them, but
they had no sooner satisfied themselves, than the whole,
men, women, and children, were made prisoners of, and
thrown into irons. This occurred on the 24th Swann, or
the Bth of August. It was believed by Hume Chund that
the remainder of the garrison' not more than 200 strong,
could not hold out longer than for five or six days.
Something seems to be stirring in Rajpootana, at
least we arc led to infer so from the fact of Colonel

THE CASE OF SWLNDLING AT PLYMOUTH.

Notices have already appeared in the E.rpreu
of the capture and examination before the magistrates
of Plymouth of a set of wholesale swindlers who passed
ander the names of Rudwell, Palmer, and Widdicombe.
Rudwell was ostensibly the master, Palmer the store-
keeper, and Widtlieombe the clerk ; but they appeared,
when cut of their peculiar business, to be pretty equal,
and " hail fellows well met." During the inquiry, new
evidence has arisen from day to day, showing the exten-
sive character of their operations during their sojourn in
Plymouth. Rudwell and Palmer, at least, had keen con-
cerned in somewhat similar avocations at Birmingham,
Portsmouth, and elsewhere.

On Monday. these three men were again brought up be-
fore W. H. Hawker, Esq., at the Plymouth Guildhall,
when additirmal evidence having been given,
The prisoners were committed upon three charges, viz.,
for obtaining under false pretences a lifting-jack from Mr.
Gladstone, a cooking apparatus from Mr. Ayall, and a
quantity of iodine. from Messrs. Howard and Kent.
