AGRAM, Fan. 27.

A rescript of the Austrian government has arrived
here censuring the authorities for certain articles
published in the Croatian official papers. It further
declares that a dissolution of the union between
Hungary and Croatia is illusory, and that the
Emperor desires the maintenance of the union of
the two kingdoms.

RELIGIOUi EQUALITY IN IRCLANn.

Dwelling on the important addition which was
made yesterday by the House of Commons to the many
!immures of toleration which it has recently passed, the
Times observes that when we remember what was the
position of the Irish Homan catholics forty years ago, it is
certainly somewhat startling to find a proposal carried by
two to one which admits them to two of the highest
offices in the kingdom. When this bill has passed, as it
must now be sooner or later, it will be possible for a Roman
catholic to be Lord Chancellor or the representative of her
Majesty in Ireland. This is undoubtedly a complete renun.
ciation of protestant ascendancy. When a Roman catholic
nobleman receives the protestant Archbishop of Dublin at
his levies,even Roman catholic jealousy may be conciliated.
Great, however, :LS the change undoubtedly is, the argu-
ments by which it was supported seem a plain and necessary
oonsequerice from the principles of our recent legislation.
Humanism has almost wholly lost its political importance,
and ia daily losing it more and more. It is becoming
simply a religious persuasion, and in proportion as, from
its weakness or from our own strength, it assumes this
character, it acquires a claim to the same toleration as all
other persuasions.
The Star says that the English people have come to
three conclusions—first, that there is in these days no
political danger in Roman catholicism ; secondly, that if
there were, protestant Lord Lieutenants and Lord Chan-
cellors would be wholly unable to avert it ; and thirdly,
that it is not to be in the least expected that a country
can be happy or contented in which its best men enter
upon the beat career it forwards with the certainty that,
because they adhere to the religion of their own land, they
cannot enjoy its highest honours. These considerations
had weight yesterday, and it is to be hoped they will in
future be more than ever recognised.

THE HEV. THOMAN BERNEY AND THE BIOUOP OF NoHOICH,
JUDGMENT.
This case, which has been frequently before the public,
and reported in this journal, was now decided. It IC.. all
appeal f,om a sentence of the Arches Court, by which
Mr. Berney, the rector of Brecon Ash, Norfolk, was sus.
pendeil for two years, for soliciting the chastity of Mrs.
Cumming, wife of the Rev. M. Cumming, rector
of East Carlton Norfolk, an adjoining pat ib, and
that of her sister, Bliss Durrant, and was condemned
in the costs. lie appealed to the Judicial Commit-
tee, and the case was argued twice—once without
a tight rev. prelate, and again, as the attendance of •
bishop was required by the Church Discipline Act.
The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Twat., were for Mr.
Berney ; Dr. Deane and Dr. Tristram fur the Bishop of
Norwich.

Sir W. Erie read a written judgment recapitulating all
the facts which have been reported. Their lord-hip,. did
not think the evidence sufficiently strong, and therefore
reversed the sentence of the court below, but without
costs. The bishop had discharged an onerous public
duty.
The suspension was removed, and each side to pay tliec
own costs.

IN RE THL ISII'F.RIAL CREDIT ASSOCIATLON, LX PART!

MARINO. _
Miltiades Marino applied to have his name Te•
moved from the list of contributories of the
above company, under these circumstances :
the 18th of April, 1861, Messrs. lonides and Barker,
of London, received instructions from Messrs. Isca.
verden, of Smyrna, to purchase for them sonic stun.,
in toe Association. Mr. Marino, who held fifty share.,
was applied to by or on behalf of Meseta. lonide,,
and on the 2nd of 'May, agreed to sell. On the 4th La
executed a transfer, which on the ith was lodged at the
company's office for registration. The purchase mosey
was paid by Messrs. lonidee, who in their book, debited
Messrs. Iseaverden with the amount. On the 11th of M.l
the association stopped payment, and on the 12th the
winding-up petition was presented. Mr. Marino's transfer
remained unregistered, though board meetings were held
on the 11th and 12th of May.
Mr. Drum, Q.C., and Mr. A. G. Marten supported the
application ; Mr. G. N. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. Lindley
appeared for the official liquidator.
The Vice-Chancellor said the vole question was whether
the directors might have registered the transfer before
the 11th of May, and it was clear that they could have
done so. The suggestion made at the her that the trans.
fer was invalid, owing to the transfer not having been eta.
cuter! by Messrs. Issavenlen, the transferee, was an after.
thought, and did not affect the question. Mr. Marino's
name must he removed from the list.
Ordered accordingly.

(Before Vioe-Chanoellor Sir R. Malin.)
ite ovemeNti GURNEY AM) COMPANY (I.IMTED).
The Attorney-General and Mr. Swenston moved that
notwithstanding the order of the court refusing the me.
tion of Mr. Oakes and Mr. Pock, their names should be
removed from the list of shareholders.

Mt. Roxburgh said that this motion extended to the
liquidators only, and not as the former motion, to ere.
ditors.

The Vice-ehruicellor would give leave to Mr. Oppes.
helm, the creditors' representative, to appear if he thought
tit, and he must be served with notice of the motion. The
motion must, therefore, stand over till the next real,
everything in the meantime continuing RR if the motion bad
not been made. The summons in chambers as to distri-
buting the money would be proceeded with, and directions
must be given for adjourning it into court without delay.
The ground on which it was sought to obtain a re.hear.
ing was that new facts, having an important bearing upon
the shareholders' case, had been discovered since the de-
livery of the judgment.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Rammics, Pm. 27.
CROWN Comer.—(Before Bina Mott)

Francis King, a surgeon, surrendered to his bail, on the
charge of unlawfully making to the Registrar of Births for
the district of Abingdon, a false statement, causing the
words, " Fanny King, formerly Taylor," to be inserted,
whereas the words " Fanny Taylor" alone ought to have
been inserted, on the 29th of January last.
Mr. Pater conducted the case for the prosecution ; and
Mr. R. Sawyer was counsel for the defendant.
From the evidence it appeared that the defendant was a
surgeon, practising, for the past few years, in the town of
Abingdon. His wife died a considerable time ago, and about
the month of July last he took to his home a fashionably-
attired young lady, named Taylor, representing that he had
been married to her. In December last the young lady
gave birth to a male child, and Mr. Simpson, the registrar,
having heard of the circumstance, called upon the de-
fendant in January for the purpose of registering the
birth. He asked the defendant the name, and the latter
went upstairs, as the registrar believed, to make inquiry of
the wife. In a few minutes he returned, and desired the
name to be entered " Vincent Arthur." In answer to the
question, " What is your 17111RUell name!" the defendant
replied, " Fanny." The registrar, having known the lady
for years, and believing her to be married, entered in the
column for " name and maiden surname of mother,"
" Fanny King, formerly Taylor." The registrar did
not ask the defendant any other question, but
Ailed up all the columns with the required par.

FATAL APPLICATION OF CHLOROPORIL—An
inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the Bank of Ear
land Tavern, Pa, • n, by Dr. Lanke,ter. on the body
of Edward Morrell, o 4. Union-street, Berkeleyequate,
stableman, who was killed by the application of chloroform
in St. Marrs Hospital. Thu deceased, • well-nude,
healthy man, was thrown out of a gig he was &Mug last
Monday, and dislocated the thumb of his right heal He
went to the St. Marys Hospital, where the surgeons en-
deavoured without success to reduce his thumb. They
then suggested that he should take chloroform, whilst they
would make a second and more painful attempt, but the
wife of the deceased, who was with him, said be repeatedly
and emphatically said he could not take chloroform, he
could not bear it, and she implied in her statement to the
jury that ho had been compelled to take it against his will.
After her interview with him the surgeons and the chief
nurse state, deceased consented to take chloroform. Mr.
Moore stated in his evidence that he administered to
deceased for about three or four minutes, during which
time be did not inhale more than one drachm. Witness
noticed the pulse suddenly cease beating, roil in a moment
the patient was dead. During six months that vitae'.
had operated at the hospital be bad administered chloro-
form in shout a hundred cases without any fatal molt.
Deceased died from the effect of the chloroform. After
lengthened inquiry the jury returned a verdict of "Acre
dental death."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(TROY DOR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
There never was a greater fall of a public man of
whom great things were hoped than that of M.
011ivier. His old friend and comrade, Juka
Favre, who mounted the tribune immediately after
him, did nut deign to waste a word upon him, and
proceeded at once to answer M. Rouher.
The A mmir National says:

The majority allowed M. E. 011ivier to express his antis.
faction with M. Rouber and M. Granier de Cassagnac with
an indifference bordering on disdain.

The government Pays, so far from claiming
M. 011ivier u a valuable convert, thinks him a safe
subject for a sneer, and says he made a speech
" in distress."
The ()pinion Notionok says :

People were astonished to find Mutt M. Oltivier, instead
of developing the programme of the Urn path, contented
himself with a speech of eve and twenty.lint.e, in which
he expressed an unreserved adhesion to the doctrines of
the Minister of State.

The Temps says, " M. 011ivier delivered up the
head of the tiers parti."
As to the general result of the debate, the dis-
satisfaction of the liberal press is naturally great.
It is discreditable, indeed, to the public spirit of
the Chamber to think that only 25 members should
have been found publicly to protest against the
doctrine that a *ludo* eunsu/turn may override all
law, and that the Emperor has absolute power to
take back to-morrow a liberty which he gives to-
day. It is known, and nobody knows better than
the Emperor, that this figure of 25 is no
guagc of the opinion of the country, or even
that of the chamber, in which the majority is
of his own packing. But the tiers parii knew that
the abolition of the address was his personal act,
and they did not dare to say a word against it.
The Gazette de France says M. Rouher's cha-
racteristic habit is to begin by taking the hull by
the horns, but to let him go directly and effect
an adroit retreat.
The Monitore de r Arm& announces that M.
d'Espeuilles, chef d'escadron of the sth Hussars,
M. Lamle, chef de bataillon of Engineers, and M.
de Ligniville, chef de bataillon of the 35th Regi-
ment, have been appointed aides-de-camp to the
Prince Imperial, and that they will enter on their
new duties on March 10, the day on which the
Prince will be eleven years of age, and from which
time the Emperor has decided that he is to have a
separate household.
The Bourse fully recovered the slight fall of
yesterday.

Recent visitors to Fortress Monroe say that Jef-
ferson Davis's health is better than it has been for s x
months past. He is allowed free intercourse with visitors,
and the unrestricted range of the fortress.
Some curious statist has found that since 1821
Mexico has had Zi presidents, seven dictator., two em-
perors, one vice-president, and one generalissimo, or an
average of one ruler every 16 months. Maximilian has
had the longest reign of say of them.

THE IMPERIAL LAND COMPANY OP MAR-

SEILLES.-(THIS DAY.)

The first half-yearly general meeting of the
shareholders was held in the large room of Exeter-hall
this day, Mr. A. GRANT, M.P., in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
entered at great detail into the statements contained in it,
showing that the property of the company at Marseilles
was most valuable, and that the land was rapidly increasing
in price, but even if it were nut the sum at which the com-
pany had acquired it was openly stated in the prospectus,
and they were bound to carry out their obligations. The
value of most of their land, however, was vastly greater
than the original price given for it, and the moment the
concession had been obtained from the Emperor to rase
Fort Nicholas and construct the Port Catalan, the value
of the land would be raised to more than double the
original amount. He then referred to the circulars sent
out with a view of &Imaging their property, characterising
the attempts made by those who issued them as wicked,
and tending to the ruin of the company. He implored
the shareholders to rally round the directors.
The DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN seconded the motion.
Mr. CARPENTER moved the appointment of a committee
of investigation of five members, and that no calls
should be made until that committee had reported. He
made no reference to the mortgages on the property at the
time of the purchase, and that the statements contained
in it were untrue. He charged the promoters and directors
with the moot profligate waste of money in the initiation
of the scheme.
London, England, 1867-02-28

mscntAmloum TONM

The Times thinks that whether the restriction which
prevents the Indian army from being available for imperial
service generally should be allowed to continue, is a ques-
tion which Major Anson's select committee will have to
consider, and it may be examined even apart from any
special or immediate reference to present exigencies. The
actual position of the cane is certainly not satisfactory ;
for the Indian army, instead of relieving the British army,
imposes an extraordinary service on it. We first raise an
Asiatic force, and then keep a British force to watch it.
Indeed, Major Anson seemed to argue that if we could but
employ a dozen Indian regiments on foreign service, we
should relieve not only the garrisons for which they would
be substituted, but the garrison of India itself. This,
however, may form only one branch of the great military
question which will shortly be opened ; but at all events
the military resources of India have not hitherto been
turned to sufficient account for the service of the empire.
The Doily News observes that the Americans are repeat-
ing many of the financial blunders which characterised
English legislation it the close of the great war—to find
out that they are blunders much sooner than we found it
out, and to rectify them more easily than we did. The
very oppressiveness which we now hear of will excite
inquiry into the whole question of protection. The " in-
terests" are overreaching themselves. They are bringing
the subject home to every man's door. With the most
extraordinary blindness, they are taking advantage of the
preoccupation of the public mind to increase, in the sole
interest of the manufacturers, the cost of things which in
America are the necessaries of life to nearly the whole of
the people; and they are doing this to the injury of the
revenue and the destruction of foreign trade.
The Post warmly thanks Mr. Fawcett for his motion
and speech on the extension of the educational clauses of
the Factory Acts to the agricultural districts. It is to he
hoped that Mr. Walpole will not allow timid counsels to
prevent him from dealing bravely with this question. It
is simply a matter of undoubted fact that the adoption of
the half-time system in the factory districts has had the
double effect of raising the character of the people and
improving the rate of wages. There is no reason why an
equally prosperous result should not be witnessed in every
rural parish in England.
London, England, 1867-02-28

THL POSITION OP PARTIES.

The Times again comments on the conspicuous absence
of party spirit which has hitherto characterised the liberals
during the present session, and says there is every reason
to believe that if Mr. Disraeli succeeds in the difficult
task before him, it will be due to the patriotic conduct of
the opposition, and that if he fails it will be due to the
infatuation of those whom be nominally leads. The cause
of this the Times attributes to the conviction which has
been slowly maturing itself in most educated minds, that
it is no longer wise to go on trifling with reform. The
House of Common., and especially that section of it which
professes to be liberal, has gradually become conscious
that it is to some extent on its trial before the nation. The
country is fairly sick of the agitation and obstruction of
public business incident to the introduction of re-
form bills destined to be stifled, and is beginning to
suspect the sincerity of those who always find some good
reason for stifling them. Were this impatience con-
fined to extreme radicals, it would be of leis importance,
but it is shared by sensible men of all classes and opinions.
Much, however, is due to the temper and forbearance of
Mr. Gladstone, and if Mr. Bright can only convince the
house that ho exercises no influence this session other than
that which his ability must always command for him, the
bands of Mr. Gladstone will he vastly strengthened.
The Daily News instances the disfavour with which the
tory scheme has been received by the country, the deser-
tion of the Adullausites, and the altered tone of the Tim. s,
as proofs that in the path on which the conservative party
have entered there is room neither for retrogression nor for
pause. Unless they absolutely court ticket, theynnust ascer-
tain how much the country regents as essential, and be ready
to propose it, or to accept it frankly when proposed. And
when they calmly contemplate the situation, they cannot
possibly anticipate that less than what they struggled
against last year will suffice for a settlement this year.
The reunited liberal party has a clear majority in the
Commons, and is so backed by public opinion that the
Lords will not dare to resist its behests. The game rests
with the more liberal sections of the government, who
will be aided by the opposition if they determine on a
policy of progress. But what is to be done must be done
quickly. To waste a session would sow in the country a
distrust of all parties, and of the House of Cowmons itself.
Probably indeed next year a stronger measure might be
found inevitable.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Since our last notice of this establishment Mae.
Christine Nilson has appeared in a new part—new, that
is, to the London public, but one of her most successful
representations in Paris. The music of Mark is perksps
the best, inasmuch as it is the least pretentious of Flotow's
operas. Although not possessing any originality of style
or individuality of character, there is a fluency and anises.
tion throughout that keep the attention alive, es.
pecially in combination with the vivacious action
of the comedy to which it is allied—one which
has been found strong enough in its merely dra-
m►tic aspect to sustain an interest both on the Paris
and the London stage. Mdlle. Nilason's impersonation of
the Lady Henrietta was a performance of the highest re.
finement, both in singing and acting. Her lassitude and
coquettish melancholy in the first scene with Nang,
(Madame Trebelli•Bettini) was anexcellent piece of elegant
comedy, and the duet between the two was given with
much charm and grace by both.
London, England, 1867-07-01

THE REVENUE RETURN&

The quarterly revenue accounts show the vanity,
observes the Times, of the gloomy forebodings which •
superficial view of our trade this year would produce.
Estimating the revenue of the year from that of the first
three months, which usually give a fair average, the
receipts of the year may be taken as something more
than seventy millions, or a million in excess of
the estimate of Mr. Disraeli in April. An ana-
lysis of the receipts of the past three months
justifies the promise given by the magnitude of the total.
The growth in the customs' receipts has been continuous,
and there is no reason to anticipate any decline in
its rate of progress. The receipts from the excise, which
can never be depended upon with the same certainty, jus-
tify the estimate of Mr. Disraeli. The Post-office produced
80,0001. in excess of the return of 1866, and in two years
the receipts from this source in the• second quarter of the
year have risen from 970,000/. to 1,110,000/. We may
even hope that the sum of 4,6.50,0001., anticipated from
the Poet-office in 1867-8 by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer will be found more than realised at
the end of the year. The policy, the Times
thinks, of reaping so large an income from such • source
is at least open to question. Cheap as the service is, it
is plain from the profit upon it that it could be perfonued
still more cheaply, and a monopoly on the part of the
Istate ought not to be converted into a means of excessive
gain. The amazing influence which a cheap post has had
in the past quarter of a century upon the diffusion of
I knowledge and the education of the people should
encourage some of our reformers to inquire whether its
surplus revenue might not be turned to account, and
its operations made still more beneficial either by re-
duced rates of carriage or by an increase in the func-
tions of the department. In the meantime let us
bear in mind the fact that an elastic revenue
is apt to produce an elasticity of expenditure, and urge
upon the rulers of the next generation that any surplus
of income cannot be too speedily disposed of in directly
reducing the burdens of the people.

THE ROSE SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The Crystal Palace rose show of this year was
quite up to its predecessors in quality, although there was
a considerable falling off in the number of specimens sent
in. Some of the greatest of our rose-growers, such as
Turner of Slough, Keynes of Salisbury, and one of
the Paula, were wholly unrepresented, and amongst the
amateurs the falling off was very considerable. The public,
who fancy they are suffering the extreme of summer tem.
perature, will be rather surprised to learn that it was King
Frost who played such havoc among the ruses, and that
the nurserymen put the present season down so being a
full month backward in as far as warmth and sunshine
are concerned. It may be so, but the personal experience
of the promenaders at Saturday's show told a different
tale. The sunbeams, intensified by the burning glass of
the roof, and then wrapped up comfortably in the awning
over the flowers, made things anything but pleinint
in the promenade, and enthusiastic connoisseurs
emerged from their long inspection of the counters
into the open space at the end with a most unmistakeable
sensation of relief.
We were glad to learn that, thanks to the royal
patronage, and the noble liberality of the artists, who
all gave their assistance gratuitously, the receipts of the
concert will form a respectable nucleus for a restonstios
fund, which ought to be organised without delay. The
people cannot do without their Crystal Palace now, sal
we feel sure that the people's friends would not be long
in raising the "restoration fund" provided the direeeca
and shareholders of the Crystal Palace Company were pre
pared to offer a few equivalent advantages to the people.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

VICTOR HUGO IN PARIS.
(soon otut owl 001111311PONDINT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY Evtrisc.
The news, though scarcely credible, that Victor
Hugo is in Paris, seems to be true. He &vivid at
Havre two days ago, in a Southampton boat, sad
was seen sitting in front of the Caf6 Felix, in the
Place Napoleon 111., in company with his old,
friend and disciple, M. Aug. Vacquerie. He took'
a train for Paris the next morning. The object of
his visit is to witness the success of his play,
//ernani, at the Francais. There is no reason,
except his own disinclination, why Victor Yugo
should not have come to Paris long ago, for he was
not excepted from the general amnesty ; but an
impression, greatly enouraged by himself, prevailed
that the Jersey exile would not set foot in Francs
so long as Napoleon 111. reigned over it.

The pale shadows of doubts which remained yes,
terday in some minds as to the fate of Maximilian
are dispelled by the official announcement in the
Moniteer to-day that he was shot on June 19, and
that the French court goes into mourning for thirty
days.

The rumour that M. Dano, the French minister
in Mexico city, had been executed, is denied on
good authority. The government feels sure that
he reached Vera Cruz safe and sound, and em-
barked for France with all the personnel of his
mission on board the Phlegeton.
The ball which was to have been given to the
Sultan at the Hotel de Ville is countermanded, on
account of Maximilian's death. His ottoman
Majesty will not, however, leave Paris sooner than
he originally intended. The Viceroy of Egypt
goes to England to-day by way of Cherbourg.
The news of M. Rouher's granl-daughter, Count
Welles de Lavalette's little girl, is somewhat
better, but still far from completely re-assuring.
She is described as having a mucous fever, which
has entered into its second period, with a diminu-
tion of the serious symptoms.
The Bourse was less firm than yesterday, but
closed with scarcely more than a fractional change
in all securities. Italian has not fallen. A hope
is entertained that M. Rattazzi will devise a com-
bination for raising necessary funds, which M.
Ferrara failed to do.

their accounts in the some way as auimams in bankruptcy
were required to do. After examining the 197th mid other sections of the sot which bear on the. point,
his
Honour came to the conelusion that the provisions of the
129th section, with regard to amalgams' accounts, were not
applicable to the trustees under a deed, inasmuch as there
was no official unglue in the latter case by whom the
accounts could be audited. Debtors might be suoinsceed
and examined at the instance of any creditor, but the
court did not think that it had power to direct a rtgolt,
audit. This yrs, to be regretted, for the instances
which
came of trustees failing to pay over the funds which
came into their hands.

The bankrupt was described as of 31, ThresThreadneedle.street, late manager of the Oriental Commercial ilea
(Limited). The adjudication was made on the petition of
the official liquidator of the Agra and Mastermatis Bank,
who are ereditors for 7,11 W. for money advanced, and hold
as security 340 shares in the City Offioes Company. This
was the first sitting, and after several proofs of debt bed
been taken an assignee was chosen.
The proofs amounted to upwards of 200,000 k, the basis
rupt's liabilities being increased by those of the bank of
which he had not only sated as manager, but was also a
shareholder. Mr. Cooper, of the firm of Cooper Brothers,
accountants, and liquidator of one of the companies site
which the bankrupt was connected, was appointed to the
office of trade assignee.
