P°StrISH ORPHAN ASYLUM. —The half-yearly
general meeting of the governors and eubecribera of this
charity was held ye.terday_, at the London Tavern, Bishops-
63rdMrestMr Charles Woolloton in the nhair), when the
election of children took place, there being 21 candidates,
all of whom, it appeared, were the children ef parents who bad
formerly occupied a prosperous position in the community.
Attention was called to the fact that the character of the
education received in the asylum presented a special claim to
the support of these who felt that objects of benevolence
ought properly to be associated with those principles of in-
struction which it was desirable to adopt amongst the children
of persons once in a condition of usefulness and prosperity.
Eight candidates having been elected, the HAM. Thomas
Rowse% incumbent of St. Peter'', Stepney, addressed the
friends of the charity, and distributed rewards to thoee young
people who were formerly inmates of the institution, and who
presented laudatory testimonials from their employers.
TILE BODY EXPOSED NEAR SHEERNESS.—Yester-
day the churchwardens and overseen of the parish of Minster
appeared before the county magistrates at Sittinithourne to
answer on an information laid against them wider the act
of George HT., cap. 75, sec. 7, fur not burying the body of
• man found drowned within the perish of Minster. Mr.
James Lewis, Town-clerk of Rochester, conducted the pro-
secution, the information being laid by Mr. W. Edgeournbe,
coroner's constable, by order of the Mayor of Rochester.
Mr. Joseph Henry Burley, one of the overseers, conducted
his own case, and Mr. M'Carthy Stephenson, solicitor,
attended to conduct the ease for one of the other
overseer.. The magistrates heard only two witneeser
for the prosecution, Mr. •Edgecorobe, and the pier con-
stable, Mr. Carrel, when they retired. After a short consul-
tation, on returning into court, the Rev. J. Poore, chairman,
said, as he was quite satisfied the matter would not drop there,
the magistrates were of opinion that the notice required by the
act of parliament had not been proved to their satisfaction, and
they therefore dismissed the case. Upon an application of
the plaintiff, Mr. William Edgcombe, the magistrates granted
• case to be taken under the acts of the 20th aced 21st of
Victoria, cap. 43, whereby the opinion of the Court of
Queen's Bench should be taken to set the matter at rest. Mr.
Lewis and Mr. Edgcombe were bound over in their own
rscognisanoes to appear at the Court of Queen's Bench when
called upon for that purpose. Mr. Burley applied to the
magistrates to be granted him and his colleagues and his
witnesses expenses, which request was refused by the magis-
trates.

‘' GALIGNANI " AND ITS FRENCH CONTEMPORA-
arsig,—The onetitutioentel favours us with the following
mark of attention ,—" Our recent article on the progrer of
revolutionary ideas in England, founded on a serious article
la the Berme Contemporeme has encountered on the part of
several English journals, not • refutation, which has not
even been attempted, but attacks when • simple denial
occupies the place of arguments. Even the Tint-s, which
generally been away the palm in this kind of reply, has
contented Itself this time with repeating a few heavyearaasms
published by an English journal, printed in Paris, and which
seems to countenance only the UUmers of its country."
We may distinctly observe, in reply to the letter remark, that
the strictest impartiality ever presides over our selections from
the leading articles of the Parts journals, and that we are
to our readers the task of forming an ("baton on their re-
spective merits. The great diversity of opinions cotertained
by our Paris contemporaries, on home and foreign polities,,
would impose on us this impartiality even did we not qualm
it from inclination and from duty. But we have never main-
quiebed the privilege of defending England wham undesier- •
vedly assailed nor can we, in justice to oar foreign
oarteinly cannot admit that socialism has any hold in Eng-
land. nor that "the British press designedly deceivee and
blinds its readers." Oar views Movies remain unchanged
