THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULT 23, 1860.

S:r J. Hording then proceeded to call the attention of the
Mali to the evidence, which he contended completely es-
tablished all the charges preferred against Mr. Bonwell.
There had been great sandal caused by Mr. Bet:weirs con-
duct, and the court was left entirely without any
explanation, apology, or defence. Mr. Boowell ap-
peared to be utterly innennible and indifferent to the
scandal be had caused. Mr. Bonwell had ample time and
opportunities fur defence, but substantially he offered none,
merely saying he was out guilty. The coroner's in-
quest on the child of Mies Yorath was held in
September last, and in the following month the bishop gave
notice of his intention to issue a commission. The corn-
minion was held and the comrniesioners made their report
on the 6th of February, and on the 3rd of May the articles
were issued. tin the ?end of May Mr. Haswell entered en
appearance. awl on the 13th of June the articles were ad-
mitted, and Mr. Boniest! pot in a negative issue, sal the
ewe came on for hearing on Friday Yet. Mr. Bon-
well had the most ample knowledge e( the charge,
Nosiest him. He had certainly shown himself to
be • person of considerable ability and present's
of mind, but he had contented himself with crow.
examining the witnesses merely on the irrelevant matter in
the case, without touchier/ the damning part of it. Many
of the most important witnesses he never examined at all ;
while many of the least importaat were erose-examined on
trivial prink There was nothing in the cons-examina•
tine bat a general denial of the charge, and an
sweeties the' the whole case had been concocted
against him for the purpose of extorting money.
Some of the witnesses had been asked bow much mosey
they had received for coming forward to give evidence. thi
the pert of the prosecution no witnesses had been kept
beck, and the main facts were entirely untouched by Mr.
Boowell. It would appear that at first the association
between Mr. Bonwell and Mime Yorath was of the mast
veil character, hut more lately it had been con-
dialed clandestinely. He urged strongly on the
court the fact that Mr. Boswell bat stated to Mr.
Lewis Yorath that he was engaged to his sister Elisabeth,
but that he had imt communiusted the fact to the family,
became he thought his position as a clergyman was suM-
cient guarantee of his goal faith. He (Sir J. Harding)
had known many canes in which English clergymen
haul been guilty of incontineore, but he had never
known a case until the parent in which • clergyman had
trade his proration in the church the groundwork of his guilt.
Thin position was eonetantly put forth. He (Dr. Harding)
contended the whole of the preliminary part of the ewe had
been proved materially. The charges, he submitted, had
been proved substantially, end quite sufficiently for all prac-
tical purpose.. With regard to that part of the case relating
to lo radon, he contended that the evidence of Mrs.
Gleenie, taken in connection with that of Mrs. Bon-
well's pupila, Mrs. Gunn, and others, without
any doubt conclusively established Mr. Bonwell's
guilt of the grave charge sieainst him. Even supposing
Mr. Bonwell wee innocent, his conduct was an absolute
alsution from the scandal which it had canoed and the
elation his conduct had brought upon a revised-
e family of • deoessed elerxyman, the brothers awl
relations of Miss Yorath. He (Air J. Harding) regretted
to say that, looking at the evidence and the nature of
the charge, lie felt bound to ask the court to parse a
meatuses of deprivation, for thin ease hut been
promoted by the bishop of the devisee in support of the dis-
cipline of the church, without any private motive. and he
would venture to express his opinion that the bishop would
have failed in his duty to the church if he hail not taken
these proceedings. ana asked for this severe sentence. The
learned counsel cited a numberof cases in which sentence of
deprivation haul been pronounced for for leas offences.
Mr. Best thee proceeded to address the court on the part of
Mr. Honwell, and nail that the issue of this ease was almost
as one of life and death. He contended upon the case
of "Homer sad Jones" that adultery committed out of the
diocese could not be considered and dealt with as adultery
committed within the diocese. The Icarus' counsel then pro-
ceeded to an analysis of the evidence, and forcibly pointed
out the discrepancies as to Mr. Boswell's conduct booth at
Newport and Margate. With regard to the evidence as to
what took place in Loudon, he urged that Miss Yorath
having taken the lodgings in the name of Harvey did not
affect Mr. Boswell, but was her own act. The most mote.
vial charge was that which had reference to Thornhill.
crescent and the principal witness was Mrs. Gunn, whose
evidence had been peisitively denied. Mr. Beilby had en-
gaged her. With regaroltothe prosecution be contended that
thee ought toltave put Miss Ynrath in the witness-box. They
Yuen perfectly well where to find her, and harevidence would
have been conclusive on the point. It bad not been
attempted to be shown that it was Miss Yorath who
went to the vestry room, or the school room. He
complained that Mr. Bonwell had been mat un-
fairly dealt with by some portions of the press,
be hiving been called a poisoner and a murderer, stating
that he ought to have been handcuffed, and taken off to
prison immediately. While Dr. Smethurst was lying in
wane one paper celled for his relearn while it
held up Mr. Penwell to reprobation. He cowhides'
by urging that the evidence entirely failed to prove the
charges spinet hire, and that he ought to be acquitted.
Dr. Lushincton raid the C3llO was one of such great im•
pittance that he should take time to consider hie judgment.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

muss OF CO3LMONB.—(THIS DAY.)
The Brum took the chair • tew minutes after twelve
o'clock.

CORONERS HILL

On the motion ofSW(I C. 1Z;714"., the order for the
second reading of this bill was discharged.
GUNPOWDER, &c., FALL,
On the order of the day for going into committee on
this MIL
Mr. LIDDELL said there were some clauses in the ball
materially affii=,miners, anil lie suggested that the bill
should be post to give time for those clauses to be
consilered by t. nee who were interested.
Sir G. C. LEWIS sod the postponement of the bill
would practically be to abandon it. He had been in com-
munication with the persons who were interested in this
branch of manufacture, and he had modified the bill to a
considerable extent, in deference to their suggestions. The
bill had been in print for some dsva, and had been kept for
the purpose of meeting some additional suggestions which
had been offered by the trade since the bill was revised and
reprinted.
The home went into committee, and the clauses were
agreed to on the understanding that amendments might be
made on bringing up the report.
The bill pared through committee.
ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION, &c., BILL
On the enter of the day for going into committee ou this

Sir G. C. LEWIS said at that stage of the bill, in order
to avoid discussion, he would withdraw clauacs 6,8, 9, and 11,
sad also clauses 17, lA, and 19.
Mr. SELWYN inquired of the right hon. baronet whether
he would agree to withdraw clause 36, to which he replied
in the affirmative.

Lord J. MANNERS wanted that clauses 5, 15, and 16
should also be withdrawn. He maid those clauses were
most objectionable in eonsequenew of the extensive
powers they confined on the commission, and
also the perpetuity they gave to that body. The
clauses to which he referred would give this commis-
sion, which was an irresponsible body, the mole authority
over the episcopal and capitals, property of the country
end if his suggestion were not acceded to he would offer
every impediment to the further progress of this bill.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND opposed the bill, on the
ground of the enormous expense of the commission.
Mr. E. JAREN hoped that the government, though oath.
rally anxious to pass one bill this sesaion—slaughter)—would
withdraw that before the house. The spiritual destitution
of the parish of St. Pancras bad long horn an opprobium to
the church ; yet one effect of passing this bill would be
that the sum of 46,000'. derived from the =le of property
in that parish would be applied to purposes not connected
with it.

Mr. MOWBRAY trusted the house would go into cool.
mittee, the most objectionable datum having been struck
out, and the bill being urgently needed to remedy spiritual
destitution in various places.
Mr. AYRTON thought the best mode of seeking to re-
dress grievances was to go into committee.
After some remsrlis from Mr. RIDLEY.,
Mr. WALPOLE defended the conduct of the commission,
which had, he conteeded, been very beneficial to
the church'. The postponement of legislation, he
said, would be the postponement of further ad.
vantages. If all local claims were to be admitted
on the ground that particular property belonged to the
locality, there would be no funds applicable to densely
pmulated parishes where the church had no property.
(Hew, hear.) He implored the house not to stave off
useful legislation, when it had before it all the facia neces-
sary for its guidance.
Mr. INGHAM hoped the house would go into committee,
notwithstanding the withdrawal, which he deeply regretted,
of the clauses relating to property in the hands of the deans
and cl
IVe Mr. DUNCOMBE said that was jut the period of the
eemnon.when the grossest jobs were always shoved through
that house. (Laughter.) The poor incumbents had hitherto
pined nothing.
Mr. WALPOLE-100,000f. a year.
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE—Yes, but the clerks received
120,000 f. (Hear, hoar.) The bishops and everybody else
bad a better chance of gaining than the poor.
After a few remarks from far G. C. LEWIS, the house
went into committee.

On clause 5,
Sir G. C. LEWLS explained that the object of it mui to
fix the income of the bishop, after the avoidance of the see,
at a certain amount. It was not his intention to perse-
vere with it if the noble lord (Lord J. Manners) persisted
in his opposition.
Lord J. MANNPAS said he objected to the principle of
making the income immutable.
[Left sitting.]
