ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether it was the in-
tention of the government to introduce any meuure for re-
forming, or what would be better, for abolishing the eccle-
siastical courts?

Lord J. RUSSELL said that • commission bail been
appointed, which had under its con.ideration a considerable
part of the subject relating to ecclesiastical courts. It would
be desirable:to have the report of that commission before
proceeding to legislate upon the Pul ject ; but if it was likely
to be tuo long delayed, it was the intention of the govern-
ment to submit a proposition on the subject without re-
port. (lieu, bear.)

SAXON AnCIIITECTUSE.—Throughout the whole
of the Anglo-Saxon period, domestic habitations were gene-
raily constructed on a small scale, and were adapted only
to afford protection from the weather. Style in architecture
there could be nene; all must have been alike rude, inter-
nally and externaily. It is not improbable, however, the
house of the Saxon thane may have exhibited some
come decorative ft,iturcs. The partiality of the northern
natiory fur carving is well known.— Turner's Domestic

GERMANY.

It is now well ascertained that M. Prokesch Osten,
the Austrian plenipotentiary at Frankfort, during his
brief stay in Berlin, used his best exertions to induce
Prussia to concur with Austria in a declaration re-
specting Eastern policy to be laid before the Diet of
the Confederation, and that he failed. The Zeit.
remarks that, " admitting the great weight which
would belong to any expression of opinion by the
organ of the Germanic confederation, it would be
very unwise to make the action of Prussia in the
Eastern affair subordinate to a resolution of the
Federal Diet. It is obvious that the affair is not a
German one in the proper sense of the word, not one
in which all the Germanic states have an equal in-
terest."

HOME CIRCUIT.-CROTDON, AUGUST 15.
BIWA& lilt LOBO CMIII BARON AND A SPACIAL idly.
GEDOR O. MVLCUCK.

This was an artioa for libel.

Mr. E. James, Q C., Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. Hawkirss
were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C.,
Mr. We les, and Mr. Raymond were for the defendant.
From the address of the kneed mussel for the plaintiff,
it appeared that be was an attorney and solicitor, practising
in George-street, Mensien-house, and the defendant was
one of the churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary, New-
ington. The plaintiff formerly filled the office of clerk to
the board of guardians, clerk to the board of highways, and
several other offices in that parish : and the libel complained
of, it appeared, arose out of his connexion with a charity
estate in the parish, called the Walwerth Common
Estate, and was published in the form of • placard,
,e which some improper proceedings were imputed to the
plaintiff in reference to certain law costs that had been in-
curred in connection with this charity. The placard was
signed by the defendant, and the present action was in con-
sequence broughtagainat him.
Mr. Chambers, at the close of Mr. James's address, rose
and said he really thought the matter might be settled
without going any fur/her. He was ready to admit that it
was not right to publish such a placard.
The Chief Baron said he thought all professional imputa-
tions ought to be withdrawn from Mr. Gedge.
Mr. Chambers said he was ready to admit that the pla-
card was quite unjustifiable, and at the same time on the
part of his client to withdraw all professional and personal
Imputations that affected the honour of Mr. Gedge.
Mr. James said that Mr Gedge, with great honour and
credit to himself, had expressed himself perfectly satisfied
with the offer made by his learned friend.
Mr. Chambers said he was anxious on behalf of his client
to state that he had out his case entirely into his hands,
and he had no hesitation in saying that he desired to with-
draw and to deny all kinds of personal and professional
imputations as alleged in the inuendoa with regard to this
libel, at the same time saying he was only anxious to protect
what he thought was a most admirable charity.
Mr. James said Mr. (ledge had no other object in the
present proceding than to vindicate his character.
The Lord Chief Baron said this was the only object is
reality espy gentleman ought to hese, especially a gentle-
man
in Mr. (ledge's situation.
A juror was then withdrawn.

EIfiIiZZLIIIXIINT BY ♦ RILIIVINO 0171C11.
Philip Diviner', 37, was indicted for having forged an
order for the payment of money, with the intent to defraud,
and he was also indicted for having embezzled 61. 25., the
monies of his masters the guardians of the Salford Union.
The facts of the case are as follows;—The prisoner was
one of the relieving officers of the Salford union, and part of
his duty was to receive the relief money from the guardians,
and distribute it to the paupers whose names were entered
in the application and relief list. To every one of those to
whom payments wore to be made the initials of
the chairman were affixed. Some time ago the prisoner
was taken ill, and upon some one being appointed to do his
duty, it was found that some of the panics whose names
appeared in the relief list, could lot be found, and one
party had died on the 28th October, although the prisoner
had received her weekly allowance up to the 17th December.
It was then found that in order to escape detection, the
initials of Mr. Williamson, the chairman, hod been forged
in the prisoner's relief list.
Mr. Fowler, who defended the prisoner, took some ob-
jections to the form of indictment, but the judge declined to
I stop the case.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence deferred.

VAN DIEMEYS LAND.

Hobart Town and Launceston papers, received at
Singapore, state that the welcome intelligence had
been received, via Melbourne, that transports-

conveyed this gratifying intelligence to Launceston,
entered that harbour covered with flags, and, as she
rounded the bar, the League flag was run up as a
signal, and in five minutes afterwards the bellman
announced the glad tiding.) to the inhabitants. The
Launceston Examiner was e ~,,itating a repeal of the
union betwren the northern and Louthern districts of
the island by the extersion to Van Diemen's Land
of the New Zealand constitution. The misconduct
of the police force (compo-ed in a great measure of
the prisoners of the crown), and the general want of
confidence in their efficiency and honesty, was ocen.
pying a good deal of public attention. The arrest of
Mr. W. L. Smith, the correspondent of the Nt sr York
Tribune, and his detention for several days on suspi-
cion of his being a runaway, had add; d considerably
to the feeling existing on the policy question. The
influenza had made its appearance at Hobart Town,
respecting "neither persons nor p1at...71."

Dr. Featherston acceded to the requisition and de-
livered an address. There is no account of the gold

THURSDAY EvrMrtxa•
The railway market was rather fiat this morning,
on the publication of the actounts of the Midland
Company, which were unfavourably viewed in conse-
quence of the large sums added to capital during the
last six months. The supply of stock from the public,
however, is very small, and prices generally rallied
later in the day, and finally closed firm at advanced
rates in many cases. Real business in this depart-
ment does not increase, but the dealers are in want
of stock, and have names over from last settlement.
A feature of the marset wpa a rise of &Os. per cent. in
Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee. Some other Scotch
lines arc also in favour, especially Scottish Central.

THIS DAY—Two o'Cw.r.

The railway market to-day is generally firm, but
the chief " run " is on Scotch lines. Edinburgh,
Perth, and Dundee; Aberdeen; and Scottish Central
are rapidly rising. Dublin and Belfast Junction,
London and South-Western, and South• Eastern
stocks have also advanced, but Great Western is an
exception, being rather lower.

vered a few days after the ship bore up and was stopped.
It is expected the necessary repsira will be completed in
about a fortnight from the time of her arrival at Rio.
The Great Britain will then proceed on her voyage for
Panama.—Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 14. . . _

PARIS, TRURSDAT EVENING.
The Corps Legislatif met to day in the bureaux
to elect presidents and secretaries, pursuant to
the new power conferred upon the house by
the recent senatus consultum. The following
are the results of the election :—lst bureau—Pre-
sident, M. Devinck ; Secretary, NI. Edouard Dailoz.
2nd bureau—President, M. Delamarre (Crease);
Secretary, Baron Paul de Richemont. 3rd bureau—
President, M. Revell; Secretary, M. teverin Abhat-
tucci. 4th bureau—President, Count de Balsa
d'Anglas; Secretary, the Baron de Vcauce. sth
bureau—President, General Mcslin ; Secretary, M.
Geoffrey de Villeneuve. 6th bureau—President,
Count de Morny • Secretary, M. O'Quin. 7th hil-
-1
man—President:General 1100 ; &cretary, M. Al-
fred Leroux. The decidedly Napoleunist complexion
of most of these names shows that the Corps Legislatif
is not yet disposed to make an ungracious use of
their new privilege. You will remember that ac-
cording to the constitution of last March, the presi-
dents and secretaries of the bureaux were named by
the government.
Bills arc about to be submitted to the Corps Legis-
latif for altering the law relative to foundling., sav-
ings banks, banks de retraile, and trial by jury. The
latter bill will, doubtless, propose to lessen the majo-
rity, eight votes out of twelve, now necessary
to convict a prisoner.
The explanations in the Houses of Lords and Com-
mons in answer to the questions of Lord Clinricarde
and Mr. Disraeli have been very favourably received
by the government press.
By a decree of the Emperor, in this morning's
Moniteur, 99 additional persons, sentenced by the
mixed commission to various terms of imprisonment
and expulsion, are to be liberated without sureties.
Among the names are two or three ex-judges, and
about half-a-dozen mayors.
The Munikur has an article " On the necessity of
attaining, in time of peace, the readiest mode of per-
forming the administrative services of a campaign."
The funds slightly improved to-day, and business
on the Bourse was altogether more animated than at
the commencement of the week. The Three der
Cents., which closed yesterday at /30f. 45e. for cash.
left off this afternoon at SOf. 75c. ; and the Four-and-
a-Half per Cents. at 105 f. 93c. (cash); being a rise
of 30c. on the former, and 15c. on the latter stock.
There was little done in Bank stock, which again
closed at 2,805 f. In railway shares some activity
was manifested, and those of the St. Germain line
experienced a further rise of 25f. per share.
From the other continental bourses, the following
are the latest rates :—Amsterdam Four per Cents.,'

FEES IN COUNTY COURTS.

In answer to Mr. CRAUPORD,
Viscount PALMERSTON stated that a scale of fees to
be taken in County Courts had been prepared, and sub-
mitted to the Lord' Chancellor in December last; it had
since been referred to the judges at Weatesinseer Hall, who
still had it under consideratioe. After they had de-
s rmined upon it it would be published, and would take
effect on a day axed by them for that purpose.
LIGHTING AND VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.
Sir DE L. EVANS asked whether sny steps were taking
to amend the present defective lighting of the house, and
to remove the unseemly lights from the ceiling.
Si, W. MOLESWORIii said he mast admit that the

system. a lighting the Meuse was Dot *hat could be de-
airettodid that the lights from thin vows were imewint
'unseemly. He had consulted the meroben of the Lighting
Committee, and also Mr. Gurney.; whose system a lighdag
the old Muse had gives gi eat satisfaction. He thought the
preeentastbod might be improved without much dllioulty
or expense, add tie hoped 'they sbould be able to accent-
plish that object by the Easter recess.
Lord D. STUART said he should be glad to be informed
under whose control the ventilation of the house was
pieced—(bear, hear)—and whether the right hon. baronet
would snot think it proper to place the ventilation and light-
ing under one control?
Sir W. MOLESWORTH—The ventilation and lighting
of the house are under oue control. That control is Mr.
Leesom (as we understood), and he is under the control of
the Board of Works.
Mr. DEEDES complained of the ventilation of the li-
brary, and said that at 3 o'clock that day it wu intoler-
able.
London, England, 1853-02-18

METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT.

Bir DE L. EVANS moved for a "return showing the
amount of property assessed to the relief of the poor t'or the
year ending on the 25th day of Much, 1853, in each pariah
of every county, division of a county, city, or borough coin.
prised within the metropolitan police district, and contri-
buting to the payment of the metropolitan police rate;
showing, in parallel columns, the amount of rental on
which the metropolitan police rate is amused in each such
parish, and the population and number of houses therein •
according to the census of the year 1851."
Agreed to.
London, England, 1853-02-18

MINISTERS' MONEY IN IRELAND.

Mr. FAoAM asked whether it wee the intention of the
Chief Secretary for Ireland to bring in • bill for the abo-
lition of ministers' money before Easter, and if so, whether
he would do it before the Irish assizes commenced, in
order that mentben representing Ireland might be in at-
tendant*.
_______

Sir J. YOUNG said he wu quite aware that great
anxiety existed on this subject. A measure wu in forward-
ness, which he hoped to present ; but it was impossible to
du so before the Irish assizes commenced. If not before
the recess, it would be submitted immediately after. Of
course, it was a measure which required • great deal of

CONVOCATION.

An attempt has been made by a contemporary to
pick some crumbs of comfort for Tractarianism out of
the closing proceedings of Convocation. The effort,
however, involves, we are happy to say, a misrepre-
sentation of the feelings and conduct of the govern-
ment. It has been no secret for some days past, and
in all probability was known to our contemporary,
that the wiliest and most unscrupulous of all the
advocates of synodical action (we do not mean the
Bishop of Exeter) failed in an endeavour, earnestly
pressed, to extract from Lord Aberdeen the smallest
possible concession in favour of protracted dicussion.
Nor is it less well known that, on the other hand, the
government placed at the disposal of the archbishop
the peremptory interference of the Crown, should his
Grace have any doubts as to his being permitted to
exercise his power to prorogue. It is, however, to be
regretted that the government thus threw upon the
primate a responsibility which it ought to have taken
on itself. When Convocation was busily raking up
every kind of precedent, by which to strengthen its
position,—and under which to shelter itself in the
future exercise of unusual power.,—that was
not a time for the Crown to have been
advised to forego the exercise of an inter-
vention, by means of which it can maintain un-
questioned control over the deliberations and pro-
ceedings of Convocation. And the result of permit-
ting the archbishop to cope with the subtle, and in
some instances the hostile bishops who surrounded
him, has been that the Primate was placed in a
mi-
nority. It has, indeed, been said that government
and the archbishop were both deluded into the
course adopted by reliance on promises which
thi have now discovered it was more cha-
ritable than wise to have believed. Expe-
rience will, it may therefore be hoped, teach
the government in future to follow the policy
which 130 years have bequeathed to them, with-
out respect to persons. Few things have tended
to make men give a slower and more jealous support
to the present cabinet than the suspicion that it was
tainted and would be influenced by Tractarianism.
If, therefore, our contemporary wishes well to the
government, or to those of its members to whom it
appears peculiarly attached, it will cease to strive to
render them supected of Tractsrianism.

average amount of business done, at good prices, and
it closes very. firm. The inquiries are chiefly for Devon
Great Consois,Alfred Consols, Tamar Console, Herod,-
foot, Wheal Uny, Wheat Russell, Lewis, West Dam-

There was again a disposition to buy gold mining
shares, and prices experienced a further improve-
ment. Colonial Gold and Great Nugget Vein shares
were also good.
United Mexican shares are higher, closing 6; to
71.
Peel River shares were to-day for the first time
officially marked at 131 to 141. The closing price
was 81 to 91.

BENGAL AND THE NORTH-WEST
PROVINCES.

Lord Dalhousie continues at Calcutta--Sir W.
Gomm at Simla. The Duke of Newcastle is posi•
tively mentioned as the future Governor-General of
India, and Capt. Fitzroy Mundy, of the 34th 8.N.1.,
as his military secretary. Lieutenant-Colonel Low,
C. 8., now Resident at Hyderabad, is to be military
member of the council of India, and will, it is sup-
posed, be succeeded either by Sir Henry Lawrence,
or Colonel Outram. Lieut. J. G. Robinson, Oth
N. 1., has been placed on the half-pay list, he not
being considered to be perfectly sane. A man of the
blacksmith caste has been creating quite a sensation
amongst his countrymen by his having resolved on
the re-marriage of his widowed daughter ; his caste
threatened to expel him, but he defied them to do
their worst, and told them he was resolved to break
through the barbarous custom by which so much
misery is inflicted on the helpless females of his
country. At the last opium sale at Calcutta the
amount realised was 337,4751. The ship City of
Poonah has become a total wreck ; the greater por-
tion of her cargo nn as saved and taken back to Cal-
cutta.

A cue of crini. con., wherein one Ewing was
plaintiff and one Muir defendant, was tried in the
Supreme Court, Calcutta, on the Gth July, before a
lull bench. Damages laid at 3,0001. Judgment was
to be delivered on the ith. From the evidence there
would seem to be no doubt of the defendant's guilt.
The Bengal Bank has only been able to give a divi-
dend at the rate of six per cent, per annum, so the
past h►lf year s, ems to have been a bad one for
banking all over India. It is feared that the new
metropolitan college at Calcutta will not enjoy a
very long existence, its native founders and suppor-
ter. not seeming to agree very well amongst them-
selves.

SCINDE.

A grand masonic banquet had been given at Kur-
rachee on the evening of St. John's Day, at which all
the brethren of the station, as a matter of course,
were present. The weather was very hot, but there
does not appear to have been any unusual amount of
sickness prevalent. Rain had fallen in several parts
of the province, but none at Kurrachee. The steam
frigate Queen started for that port again yesterday
with a mail, her former trip having been performed
with ease—thus showing that steam communication
can be kept up throughout the year with Bombay.
Her Majesty's 64th were to move into the new
barracks immediately. Scarcely a line of news has
been received from the province now for many a day,
and none seems to he looked for. Mr. Frees seems
to be a favourite with all under him, and the good
of the country seems to be his sole study.

ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL MAIL STEAMER

NIAGARA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

This forenoon the Royal Mail steam ship Niagara,
Captain Leitch, arrived in the Mersey with the usual
mails from the United States and British North
America, in charge of Lieutenant Ward, Admiralty
agent. The Niagara left Boston on the 17th in-
stant, and Halifax on the 19. h. Besides the mails
she has brought about ninety passengers, but no
specie.
The United States mail steam ship Humboldt,
which left Havre on the 3rd instant, arrived at
Boston on the 15th.

The Royal Mail steam ship America, from hence
on the 6th instant, arrived at Halifax on the 16th.

The screw steam ship Sarah Sands, that sailed
from this port for Quebec on the 21st ult., arrived
out thence on the 12th instant.

New York was suffering under a visitation of in-
tense heat, more severe and fatal than that which
prevailed throughout the greater portion of tho union
some two months ago. Not only was business almost
suspended owing to the excessive temperature, but
above 200 persona had fallen victims to sun stroke
during three days.

Fever at New Orleans continued to rage with un-
abated, it not increased virulence, the number of
deaths reaching over 200 daily. The city was in a
state of great alarm, and numbers of the inhabitants
were leaving to escape the pestilence.

The notorious slaver Lady Suffolk, that managed
to elude the vigilance of the British cruizer on the
coast of Cuba and make her way to the Gulf of
Mexico, has escaped from Laguna. She has advanced
the one step further in her reprobate career, and now
sails a professed pirate.

The money market at New York, though slightly
improved, still continues tight, and money even on
the best paper is reported scarce.

In the cotton market there was but littlo doing ;
holders, however, did not preen sales, and former
quotations were maintained.

The market for breadstuffs was quiet, and prices
were without change.
The provision market had assumed a firmer tone
than at the departure of the previous steamer.
Freights were unchanged at tho steamer's
departure.

Exchange on London was at 1091 to 109 j, but
theso rates were not well sustained; Paris, 3.13
Hamburg, 36 to 361; Bremen, 791 to 791.

FRANCE.

PARIS, BENDAT EVENING.
The Emperor has decided that one of the first em-
bellishments to be made in commemoration of his
visit to Dieppe shall be a garden in front
of the Hotel de Ville, to be laid out accord-
ing to a design originating with the Empress
and already transmitted to the municipality. Yes-
terday their Majesties walked to the end of the
jetty without an escort. The sea was very rough,
and the Empress was a good deal splashed by the
spray, to the infinite amusement of the spectators.
The Emperor has given a service of plate to the lot-
tery for the benefit of the Rouen gardeners who suf-
fered by the recent hailstorm. There was to be a
grand dinner at the Hotel de Ville to-day.
News from Constantinople of the 15th, brought by
the Valetta, has reached Paris ; but it is without in-
terest, after the note in yesterday's Moniteur. The
Egyptian fleet had arrived on the 14th.
The Assembiee takes upon itself to say on behalf
of the Emperor of Russia that he will make no ob-
jection to the alterations made by the Sultan in the
Vienna note :

The Beane yesterday experienced a slight fall. It seems
that in the financial world some uneasiness is felt at seeing
in the Monitor that the Porte only accepted the draft note
with some changes in the wording notwithstanding that the
official journal says that these changes are unimportant.
This uneasiness we can affirm is not shared by
diplomacy. No douirt is entertained that the cabs-
' net of St. Petersburg will c.msent without bonus-
' tion to these merely formal modifications And
the evacuation of the Principalities, we cannot too often re-
peat, is the natural consequence of the definitive acceptance
of the note. For this we have, as a guarantee, the honour
of the Russian government, engaged in the eyes et Europe,
and its wall.known desire to terminate an affair which is as
onerous to it as to the other governments of Europe.
The Presse says that the news from Jassy, which
I mentioned yesterday as being published by the
Paerir, that the Russians were preparing to evacuate
the Principalities is not in accordance with its own
information.

A STATION M.SsIZIS KILLED.—A fatal accident
happen.il on Friday night, at Standish, near Wigan, on the
London and North Western Railway. The station muter,
Meredith by name, was craning the line, when an engine
cams ap unobserved ; one of the buffers struck the unfor-
tunate man, and indicted such serious injuries as to Cause
dsailt shortly afterwards.

THE CHOLERA.

STETTIN, AUGUST 23.—Last week the cholera
appeared to be on the increase: 170 patients died.
Within these few days i s ravages are again decreaq-
log, and there appears now no ground for further
serious apprehension.
KONIGSBERG, AUGUST ''2l.—An official report
from physicians to the municipal authorities states
that some cases of cholera have appeared in this
town.

COPENHAGEN, AUGUST 22.—Yesterday and to-
day the sew eases of cholera amount to 28; the
deaths to 14. Since the breaking out of the epi-
demic 7,216 persons have been saved by it, of whom
3,902 have died.

STOCKHOLM, ACC. 19.—There can be no longer any
doubt, that after an interval of 19 years, we are
visited by the Cholera. Great preparations are
making to meet this visitation. The King has been
to inspect the various Cholera hospitals. It is hoped
that the disease may be less virulent than in 1834.
Rout:, Auo. 17.—Some journals announce the
breaking out of cases of cholera at Racconigi. The
government has received no account of any such
event; but its organs do not positively contradict
the report.
