ARCHES COURT.—MAY 14.
(Before the Bight Hon. Dr. Lushtniton.)

TEE BISHOP OP NORWICH O. THE HEY. THOHAS RENNET.
For the defendant several witnesses were called. It ap-
that on Trinity Sunday (after the alleged miacon-
rcrt) ithe defendant administered the Holy COl/11121/131011 to
Mrs. Cumming and others. Evidence was given as to two
" pic-nits" which had taken place. Mrs. Cumming and
her sister stated that on the 22nd of May (Trinity Sunday)
Mr. Heaney did not administer the seeratuest, but be par-
took of it. The misconduct of the defendant towards Mrs.
Cumming took place on the 10th and 21st of May and she
did not tell her husband until after her sister had informed
her of his behaviour towards her. The evidence of Miss
Durrant was, that the defendant tried to kiss her. On the
14th of Tune the defendant asked her to sit on the sofa
with him, and took hold of her. She told him if he
did not let her go she should scream. On the next day
Miss Durrant told her sister, and Mrs. Cumming told her
husband, and hence the proceedings in the case. It ap-
peared that Mr. Benney was about 50 years of age, and
Miss Durrant about 18.

(575:: ;adressed the court, and contended
that the offence bad been clearly established, and for his
lordship to punish the defendant.
Dr. 'Twiss reserved his reply until the next court day,
which his lordship said would be appointed as soon am
possible.
Mr. George H. Brooks was proctor for the Bishop.

over.

We learn from our Sydney advices that an
attempt had been made in the New South Wales
Parliament to secure a permanent appropriation
out of the consolidated revenue fund of the colony
of 28,000 L per annum towards defraying the ex-
penses of public worship. The motion for going
into committee was moved on the 27th February,
and the debate was adjourned until the 16th
March, when the supporters of State aid had a
majority in the house. The minority, however,
determined that they should not gain a step in
consequence of their industry and foresight in
collecting their forces, and the contest resolved
itself into a trial of physical endurance and talking
power. The house sat from 3 o'clock on Friday
afternoon, with short adjournments for refresh-
ment, until 1 o'clock on the following day, when
the debate was adjourned. It is said that there
is not the slightest chance of a bill passing this
session, or indeed of the question being finally
dealt with in any way.

1118CELLANEOUti TOPICS.

As we are in an entirely neutral position, the Times
presumes that Admiral Denman did right in abstaining
from the employment of force to prevent the cowardly
attack by Spain upon Valparaiso. What the Spanish go-
vernment has done is not so much a violation of the law of
nations as of the common instincts of humanity. Bat, though
our property may have been sacrificed without any means
of redress, we do not doubt:that the proceeding which we
have described will be fertile in consequences of a nature
most injurious to Spain and her government. Such acts
tend to place • nation beyond the courtesies and con-
siderations of civilised life. They impress upon it •
brand of inferiority which no empty declamation about
historic nobility and dignity can ever remove, and they

Affairs whether the government had received information
of the bombardment of Valparaiso ; and whether in such
information it was stated that the English admire], having
received an offer of assistance from the American admiral
to enable him to prevent that act, declined that Resistance,
and retired from the scene of the conflict, allowing the
defenceless city to be bombarded.
Mr. LAYARD replied that her Majesty's government had
received despatches upon the subject referred to, and he
believed the facta were as they were stated by the hon.
gentleman, but he must ask the hon. gentleman to repeat
his question to-morrow.

URBAN AND RURAL CONSTITUENCIES.

Lord CRANBORNE asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer whether the government were in possession of any
estimates tending to show the relative extent to which
urban rind rural populations enter into the composition of
each constituency under the new bills, and the number of
electorswhich each franchise will add to eachconstituency.
Tie CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said her
Majesty's government had received no information on the
subject of such a character as could be laid before the home.
COMPULSORY CHURCH-RATE ABOLITION BILL.
Mr. F. SURTEES asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, if the Compulsory Church-rate Abolition Bill passed
into law, whether it would have the effect of depriving •
vicar of a parish of certain moneys arising out of the
church-rates, and which moneys were settled on the vicar
for the time being by an act of parliament passed in the
reign of Queen Anne.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if the
hon. gentleman would furnish a statement in writing of
the particular caw to which he referred, he (the Chan-
cellor of the E...choquer) would be happy to answer his
question.

terday at Lord's. The day was cold and dull, and no
doubt prevented a large company from attending. The

BOAT RACE.—A smilers' race took place yester-
day between Joseph Sadler, a landsman, of Putney, and
Thomas Hoare, a waterman, of Hammersmith, for 1001.
%Nide, from Putney to MnrtlOce, hnt turned out a mast
hollow affair. Both men have earned considerable reputa-
tion IS scullers, and betting was nearly even until shortly
before the start, when the odds were G and 7 to 4 on Sadler.
Henry Kelley, the champion of the Thames, took up Sadler,
George Drewitt doing the same for Hoare. Mr. Ireland
was the referee. Sadler had the choice of stations, and took
the Middlesex side. Hoare dashed away with the start,
but it was only momentary. In a quarter of a minute
they were level, and in a minute and a half more Sadler
had drawn himself clear and went in front of his opponent.
No change whatever occurred. Hoare never had the least
chance of success. Sadler went right away, was four lengths
ahead at Hammersmith-bridge, and won with the most per-
fect ease by half a dozen lengths, occupying 24min. 45 sec.

ITALY BEFORE AND AFTER A WAR.

M. L4on Say, the eminent political economist,
in an article (in the Debats) on the financial aspects
of the impending war in Italy, writes as follows :

it is
If war breaks out, and if prolonged, Italy is ruined,
and all that can be asked of her is to recover from ruin
after the war is over as promptly as possible by dint of '
hard work and economy. Ruin is never irremediable for '
a people. France came out of the wars of the Empire
ruined ; she began to grow rich again under the Restora-
tion. England, which was, if not ruined, at least ex-
hausted by those same wars of the Empire—wars
which she had sustained by means of a forced
paper currency (le mural force), as Italy is doing now, had
a brilliant recovery, and the United States of America,
whose ruin dates from yesterday, have undertaken without
discouragement a liquidation out of which they will emerge
with honour. The circulation of Italy is lost, but the
industry of the Italians may restore it. There can be
no sort of doubt of the depreciation of the bank note 4
lours force if the state employs it to pay its war expenses ;
but we may trust that if this be a malady it is not a mortal
• one. The friends of Italy have not lost all hope, even
from a financial point of view, and, it is but just to say,
they have no reason to lose hope.

LONDON DIOCESAN HOME MISSION.—The annual
meeting was held yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, the Arch-
bishop
of York presiding, in the absence of the Bishop of I
London. The Hon. A. Kinnaird, Mr. B. Shaw, Dr. Miller,
Rev. J. Podmore, Rev. Mr. Pattison, Rev. D. Wilson,
Rev. J. Freemantle, Rev. D. Moore, and the Bishop .
Designate of Nelson were also present. The report, which
' was read by the Rev. J. Bardsley, states that there are
now 44 missionaries at work in connection with the society,
the number last year having been 27, the increase being
due to additional grants made by the Bishop of London's
Fund. These ts, the council add, although they have
vastly inc the society's usefulness, have in no degree
diminished its liabilities. all the grants being made on the
distinct understanding that they are for new work. For
the stipends of ten missionaries, the superintendent,
assistant-seeretarf, and expenses of management, the
Diocesan Home Mission is responsible, while 34 of the
missionaries are supported by grants from the Bishop of
London's Fund. The council report a falling off in the
society's income during the past year of 500 f., and after
detailing various instances where the mission met with
marked success in metropolitan • andenclued with
an earnest appeal to public (lance support.

THE LATE MONET CRISIS.

The panic, the Times remarks, may be said to have
passed sway as suddenly as it arose. Commerce has had
its crises before, but it must be confessed that none has
ever come upon us so sharply and so suddenly as that from
which we are now escaping. While disposed to make every
proper allowance for the conduct of the London
bankers, the Times severely reprehends those whose
culpable abuse of the facilities of credit led to
the frightful reaction of last week, and who
so far forgot the first duties and their position as
to leave themselves unable to meet the most ordinary de-
minds of their creditors. If private and joint-stock banks
keep cash balances amounting to little more than 5 per
cent. of their liabilities, they have no right to expect that
they can escape the consequences of their recklessness and
improvidence by resorting to the Bank of England with
bills to be re-discounted. In any case, if they do rely upon
I such assistance, they ought to be prepared to pay the
famine prices consequent upon such a general competition
for what is after all a limited supply. The Times believes
what the government did was inevitable under the circum-
stances, and proceeds to contend thattließank Charter Act
keeps in reserve an amount of credit which is capableonan
emergency of being applied to support the reputation of those
who are unjustly suspected. The act alleviates a panic
and is not the cause of it. A reservoir of water is formed
to supply the inhabitants of a town, in which soon after a
fire breaks out. The water is intended to be drunk, and it
would be better that the fire should exhaust itself than
that the inhabitants of the town should the of thirst ; but
if there be more than enough of water in the reservoir to
satisfy their daily needs, the surplus may properly be de-
voted to the unlooked-for contingency. The fire is put
out ; but the existence of the reservoir is not the cause of
the fire—it is the secret of its extinction.

The Post says we ought not to rest satisfied with a
mere escape, and it may be well to consider whether the
dangerous proportions of the one kind of circulation to
the other—of the comparatively inconvertible to the abso-
lutely convertible—cannot be rectified ; and whether or
not a beneficial effect in this direction might not be pro-
duced by a permanent enlargement of the powers of the
Bank of England.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MAT 14, Evarrnm.
On Saturday evening a conditional treaty of
alliance was signed between Prussia and Italy.
One of the articles stipulates that neither Prussia
nor Italy shall contract a separate treaty with
Austria in the event of either of them being at-
tacked by that Power. Rumours of a peaceful
character circulated here to-day. It was stated that
the Archduke Rayner had arrived here from
Vienna, and that the government had suspended all
warlike preparations. These rumours are without a
foundation. No announcement even has been re-
ceived here from Vienna that any special envoy had
left for Berlin. A decree has been hailed, declaring
that all persons convicted of selling munitions of
war or firearms similar to those used in the army,
without a permit from the Minister of War, will
be liable to two years' imprisonment. The Bauk
of Pramia is said to have received fFoni the Trea-
sury ten million thalors in specie.

FLORENCE, MAT 14, E!txpio.

The Opinion of this evening says :--:" No formal
proposal for a Congress has yet been made by any
European power. Only semi-official communi-
cations have been exchanged on the subject ; but
if a formal proposal should be made, we think that
Italy should accept it, upon two conditions, namely,
that she may remain armed and continue her arma-
ments, and that the cession of Venetia be included
in the programme of the Congress. These con-
ditions are essential." The same journal states
that the powers who have united their
efforts to bring about a Congress are France and
Russia, and they have agreed to ask separately
those States, whose international questions threaten
the peace of Europe, whether they would accept
the arbitration of a Congress. In the event of
these preliminary steps having a favourable result,
France and Russia would make a formal proposal
for a Congress, of which the programme would
be settled before the meeting took place.

A royal decree has been issued, ordering all
soldiers of the second category of 1844 to be forth-
with incorporated with the regular army. They
had already been called together for two months'
drill. The Senate has approved, by 70 to 6
votes, the bill granting the executive extraordi-
nary powers to provide for the public safety.
According to news received here from Rome, it
was rumoured in that city that General Kanzler
had tendered his resignation as Minister at War,
and that he would be succeeded by Mgr. do
Merode.

INDEMNITY BILL.

Mt. BAINE9, on behalf of the hon. member for Shef-
field, asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment whether, as the Parliamentary Oaths Amendment
Bill had been passed, and the Qualification for Offices
Abolition Bill had passed both houses of parliament, he
would consider it necessary, in this or any future session,
to bring in a yearly Indemnity Bill ; or whether he con-
sidered such Indemnity Bill would be unnecessary when
the royal wment was obtained to the Qualification for Offices
Abolition Bill.

Sir G. GREY said the principal object of the Indemnity
Act was obtained by the palming of the measures referred
to, but before any final determination could be come to it
would bo necessary to investigate several acts of paths.
ment, and such investigation was about to be instituted.
THE JAMAICA INQUIRY.

Mr. M'CULLAGH TORRENS asked the Secretary et
State for the Colonies whether, having before him the re-
port of the Jamaica Commissioners of Inquiry, he had
advised her Majesty to disallow the Bill of Indemnity
passed by the colonial legislature for acts done in repress-
mg the disturbance-, Gf October last.
Mr. CARI)WELL said it was true that he had received
the report of the commissioners appointed to conduct the
inquiry referred to, but he had not received the whole of
the evidence on which that report was founded, therefore
he did not think it would be right for him at present to
take the course indicated by the hon. gentleman.

THE BELGIAN REFORM BILL.

The reform bill for Belgium continues to excite
public feeling in that country. A large meeting
in favour of reform was held in Liege. The.bureaux
of the Chamber !ejected the proposition of K
Gamey, and several of them also rejected, as leading
to imiversal suffrage, that clause of the government
bi►l which proposed to confer the franchise
without regard to income, on persons possessed of
a diploma.

THE ELECTION OF MAZZINI AS DEPUTY.
On Monday last the official documents relating
to the election of Bimini for Messina were laid
Wore the committee of the Italian Chamber of
Deputies, of which Bertelli is chairman and An-
Mucci vice-chairman. When the packet of papers

relating to the election was opened, there was found
to the great astonishment of all, a copy of the sen-
awe of the oourt of Genoa which con-
demned Mazzini to death. The discussion
a the question of eligibility which was
raised by this document was postponed till
Friday (yesterday), but the preliminary ques-
tion of Mazzini's oendemnation by the French
tribunals was raised by Audrenoci, upon which
a very animated discussion took place in the
committee. Signor Macchi strongly protested
against this objection, which was supported by no
official document coming under the notice of the
committee, and the proposition of Andreucci was
defeated. Signor Paneltuni, a Tuscan deputy, who
generally votes with the government in the chamber,
went with the majority. The discussion on this
a/action will take place next week in the Chamber
of Deputies, and it Is said that the ministry will
stake existence on the issue. A great Mazzinian
demonstration will be made on Monday, which is
the festival of St. Joseph.

dates are admitted into those colleges. The noble lord
said that this.ioquh7 was necessary, not only on account of

painfully manifest, flora outbreaks daring the lag few

Mr. ACLAND whited to express his gratitude to the
noble lord foutha manner in which he had brought the
subject before the house.
Eir J. PERGUSSON expressed an opinion that the dii-
ctipline of these colleges was not too strict, but pointed
out several grievances which the students bad to eompleia
of in the dissimilar oltsraeter of the examinations they Mel
lo pees for entrauos and promotion, and the isadequate
distribution of commiseioos without purchase.
The Marquis of HARTINOTON objected to the appoint-
ment of • commission, es the present system wee based on
mein! and ostensive inquiries made by a War-offies opra-
tension in 1857. He st.ted that all the cases of insubordi-
satiate had been carefully inquired into, and the report
always had beeo that there was no real ground for
them. He pointed out the fallacy involved in comparing
these colleges with the universities, and defended the
system of examination, contending that the Council of
Military Education was quite competent to deal with all
the difficulties which might arise.
General PEEL argued in favour of one military college,
and mentioned circumstances which inducted him to
believe that Lord Paumure and Lord Herbert had in-

taxied to consolidate the two.
Captsin VIVIAN made some observations, and tits
motion, on a division was negatived by 152 to 132.

THE LATE SON OF THE RING OP ITALY.

The Paris correspondent of the Nord, writing on
the 23rd, says :—" The death of the Prince Oddone, the
youngest of the children of Viotor Emmanuel, had been
expected for a long time, on account of the alarming con-
dition of the young and unfortunate prince, whose life
may be described as a long agony of 20 years, for Prince
Oddone was infirm from hi birth. The news of his death,
which arrived in Paris yesterday morning, has caused deep
grief to the Princess Clothilde, his rioter, who loved him very
much, partly, perhaps, in oonsequeace of his severe suffer-
ings. The mourning at the Pails Royal will, as was noti-
fied yesterday to all the members of the household, last for
two months. Gener•l Franoonniere, first aidedwcamp of
Prince Napoleon, will represent their highnesses at the
funeral of Prince Oddone."

ECCLESIASTICAL PARTIES IN MUNN.

The Daily News observes that the Wines on which the
general election was decided in Ireland were very different
from thee" which determined the result of the contest in
England and Scotland, and that it is hard to say how
men will act on purely political questions who were
returned mainly to represent ecclesiastical interests.
Aooording to the Dublin Review, it is not possible for good
catholic. to be the natural allies of the liberal party ; and
such words should induos government and ►he parliament to
consider in reference to any Irish request which involves
what is expedient rather then what is right who it is that
makes the demand ; for there is neither honesty nor po-
ligy in placing power in the hands of a class which proclaims
its intention of using that power against the very party
from which it asks it. The policy of • wisely•liber►l
government must be to strengthen in Ireland the Roman
catholic. who are not priest•ridden. By doing justice
between the rival churches—by establishing equitable
relations between the catholic peasantry and the protestant
oligarchy—a liberal catholic party may be formed
in Ireland. The policy of the higher clergy is
to make Irish representatives purely and solely
catholic, holding aloof from both the great parties in the
state, so that on critical occasions they can command either.
To this complexion Irish politics will inevitably come, if
mixed education is abandoned, while the temporalities of
' the Irish establishment are maintained, and the feud of
i protestant landlord and catholic tenant remains unhealed.
The Herald characterises the proposed scheme for en-
dowing the Irish Roman catholic priesthood as about the
maddest and most foolish suggestion that could possibly
have been put forward. The idea has been constantly and
steadily opposed by the catholic clergy, who would now less
than ever be likely to accept the "Saxon shilling," which
the laity would regard as no better than " blood money."
