THE WORMED CHURCH OP PARIS.

In their resolution of the 23rd of March, carried
by a majority of 24 to 3, the Consistory of the Reformed
Church of Paris say :—" But it is not merely the disci-
pline and the internal order of the church which have been
thus gravely affected by X. Martin-Peachond. By his
acts, by his language, by writings published in his own
name, or under his auspices, he has given his adhesion and
support to negations which are destructive of Christian
faith and history. He invited to his pulpit and
upheld by his influence pastors who publicly diaavowed
the divinity, the miraculous birth and resurrection of
Jeans Christ, and any kind of supernatural intervention to
the life of man and the world—that is to say, the historical
tens and fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion
as they have been proclaimed and professed in the reformed
church of France and by the discipline of that church
which the consistories are expressly appointed by law to
maintain. In presence of such attacks against faith, such
, infractions of discipline, and such inability to discharge re-
primly and exactly pastoral functions, the eonsistory
could not remain inactive without failing in their
duty to the church which they represent, and
from which they bold their powers. They are religionely
and legally bound to put an end, as far as they can, to this
disorder and peril to the religion end protestant Christian
society of France. They continue to believe that if the
new laws are silent with regard to the pensioning of
pastors, the ancient discipline and traditions of the re-
formed church of France give consietories the right of
acting in this regard. They have, moreover, full eons
donee in the principle admitted and proclaimed in one
time by the civil power that on questions of pure religions
belief it is for the religious authority to dedde. At the same
time they defer to the right of the government remedies
the relations between the state and the church, and to
the scruples which prevented the Minister of Worship
from accepting the resolution of the oonsistory which re-
moved M. Ifartin•Paschoud with a pension of 6,000 fr. Ia
the situation in which this decision of the minister plead
the emoistery, they are sonvineed that they are fublDing,
their duty and discharging their reeponsilidity towards the
church in formally pronoming tie dionisealef M. Maeda-
Pasehand, and laying before the government tics resolu-
tion ea well as the motives on whisk it is heaped."

before the fire I met Kemp in the court, and was
speaking to him. He went into the machine-room
with Latham. That was before I went with the
Firmer to have some spirits and came back before
the prisoner, and left him at the public house. I waited
for him at the lodge door, and when he came back I went
into the machine room where I saw Kemp and Latham.
It was possible for ;he pioneer to go up into the

us two distinct staircases. He was at the bottom of the

That was not more than five minutes after I left the pet.

before I heard the alarm of fire.
Kr. Lewis said—lt is impossible that the man can speak

that the place is safe at 4 o'clock, and thatbetween that

it must have been set on fire in the interim. We sa that

OPINING OF Mt NNW LINE OM THII LONDON
CHATHAM, AND Doran NAILWAT.THIS Dar.)—This
=y) morning the new line of railway between the
crab-road station of the London, Chatham, and
Dower Railway to Clapham Junction was opened for public
traffic. By this new line, a want which has long
been felt, has now been gratified, and there can-
not be any doubt of its ultimate success. Passengers
an now book themselves at the Ludgate-hill
station for almost any of the western and southern
suburbs, and for persons raiding at Richmond,
Kingston Twickenham, Bashey-park, Kew, and Houns-
low, and It will prate a great boon. The Ara train left
Kingston this morning for Ludgate-bill at 8 o'clock, and it
performs the journey in about an hour. The down train
to Kingston was booked to leave Ludgate-hill at 9.10 and
arrive at about half-past 10. During the Feast month
there will be no Sunday trains.
A PAUPER CHILD SCALDED TO DEATH. —ln
another column we notice the death of a ehild at the Maid-
stone Union Workhouse, under circumstances which
certainly call for serious comment. The fads, as dis-
closed at the inquest held on Saturday, appear to be
briefly these. Some little time since, a pensioner, named
Hook, with his wife and the child in question--a fine
little boy—were obliged to seek temporary shelter at
the union. The deceased, though not three years old,
was at once taken from the mother, and placed under
the control of a girl under 12 years of age named
Deck. The ochoobtras states that she had general
supervision over the children, numbering about 80 ;
but this supervision was so slight that, without the
mistress being at all aware of the circumstance, the
girl Deck, on the morning of the 4th of March, went to
the washhouse, drew a pailful of scalding water from
the copper, and, taking it upstairs, thrust the poor little
fellow into it. The child, it seems, was given to dirty
habits, and Desk smarts that her only intention was
to wash it, and that she first put her hand into
the water, to ascertain whether it wee too hot.
However that may be, the child was so severely
scalded that it was found necessary to remove it to the
the mwhere it died on Thursday last. Mr. Stokoe,
edical officer of the union, deposed to its death
having arisen from the scalding, 'though he added that
in all probability the injury would not have had a
fatal termination but for the fact of the child having
a scrofulous liver. The father, however, stated that
the child had never had a day's illness in its life, and
it had a very healthy appearance. The jury returned
a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony,
adding their opinion that panne person should be ap-
, pointed to superintend the giving out at water for
washing the children. We think, however, that they
should have gone further than this. If the law does
permit of children of such tender age being taken from
their natural protectors, the authorities are at least
bound to see that persons of sufficient age are appointed
to take proper care of them, and that they are not
entrusted to the charge of young and inexperienced
girls. There are, too, other matters connected with
this ease which call for strict investigation by the
guardians. As we are told, the parents of the deceased
child were not informed of its having been injured until
several days after the occurrence, and even then the mother
wee not allowed to attend upon her sick offspring, but could
only see it occasionally; while at the inquest it was stated,
without contradiction, that on the parents requesting a half-
day's leave of absence to see some friends about the funeral,
both of them were absolutely refused this • on,
on which thew at once took their discharge. We confess
that the whole circumstances appear to us very harsh and
unnatural—the hardship of the case being aggravated by
the fact that it was the loss of an arm at a pottery in the
neighbourhood which compelled the father to have recourse
to the workhouse.—Sorts Eastern Gazette.
SUSPECTED MIIRDZIL IN SCOTLAND. A ease,
involving a strong suspicion of murder, occurred at the
farm of Mount Stewart, situated about midway between
the villages of Bridge of Fern and Forgandenny, near
Perth, on Friday evening. Shortly. before eleven o'clock
on Friday evening a messenger arrived in Perth with a
letter from the tenant of Mount Stewart,. addressed to the
Procurator-Fiscal. The letter stated that on Mr. Hender-
son's arrival home from Perth market on Friday evening
he found his house locked up, and was obliged to enter
the premises by a window. Having gained access to the
house he went into the kitchen, where he found the
dead body of his sister lying in the midst of a pool of
blood. Immediately on receipt of the letter Mr.
Young, assistant Procurator for the county, accompanied
by several police officers, proceeded to Mount Stewart.
Here a horrible spectacle met their view. On the floor of
the kitchen lay the dead body of Henderson's sister ; her
head, which wag almost cleft in two, lying in a pool of
blood. The walls and roof of the apartment, as well
as the articles of furniture, were all bespattered with
blood, and close
by the body an axe—such as is com-
monly used for rough work about farm staadings—was
found with the handle and head also covered with
blood. Henderson, on being questioned by the Fiscal,
said that on his return home from Perth market on
Friday afternoon about six o'clock, he found his sister
dead on the kitchen floor ; but the truth of
this statement was doubted by the Fiscal, from the
fact that when he reached Mount Stewart, a little before
midnight, the body of the deceased was still warm, which
could not have been the case had she been deed six hours
before, as alleged by her brother. This circumstance,
coupled with the fact that Henderson was the only in-
mate of the house besides the deceased, caused the Fiscal
to order him to be watched by the police, which was ac-
cordingly done, and at the same time the premiees were
taken possession of by them. On Saturday morning Mr.
WLean, Procurator-Fiscal for the county, accompanied by
Sheriff Barclay, Dr. Abeolon, chief constable Gordon,
Mr. Smart, architect, and other officials, visited the
scene of the sad occurrence for the purpose of
collecting information and holding a post-mortem
examination of the body. Of coarse the result of their
inquiry has not transpired, but meanwhile Henderson is
under surveillance of the police, and there good reason
for supposing that a most foul and cold-blooded murder
has been perpetrated. The deceased, who is about fifty
Taus of age, woolly resided in the neighbourhood of Stan-
ley, and was only reading with her brother for a few days
to aisle" him in some particular work about hie farm. She
has left a husband and large famil of children to mourn
their bereavement. The ruapee person is about sixty
years of age and unmarried. He is of a most penurious
disposition, and of strictly temperate habits. Various
rumours are afloat as to the motive for the crime, but, as
they are not as yet verified by evidence, we refrain in the
meantime from giving them publicity.—EdinburgA Corr

Cher for their trip."

This committee resumed its sittings this morning
at 11 o'clock, Mr. E. Adair in the chair.
Mr. Rodwell proceeded with his address on behalf of the
sitting member, Sir R. Clifton. He commenced by com-
menting upon the evidence of the witness Lawton, who
made the statement with reference to the butchering and
cayenne-peppering of Paget and Morley's voters,
which words he alleged Sir R. Clifton made use
of. That statement was not only entirely uncor-
roborated but he should prove it to be an entire inven-
tion. He next touched upon the evidence of Cox, who
I showed such hostility towards Sir R. Clifton, and called
him a lying vagabond, and would call him so still. The
fact was that Mr. COX was extremely unpopular, more un-
popular than Jemmy Sweet. The accuracy of his state-
ment might be gathered from the fact that he stated
that on the omission of the riot spoken to, be saw
the blinds of Sir Robert Clifton's committee-
room pulled up and down, when he should prove eon-
elusively that there were no blinds at all to the windows.
He should call Mr. Prads, who was there to prove the in-
accurasy of the witness, who was led away by his extreme
hostility to Sir R. Clifton to overstate the circumstances
of the case. He should show that in the course of that
day there was a violent attack on Mr. Martin's committee-
room by the lambs of Padget and Morley, a fact which
up to the present time had been entirely kept in the dark.
He admitted that there were acts of extreme violence and
insubordination at the late election for Nottingham. It
was dear that Mr. Marton complained that Sir Robert's
voters were prevented from going to the poll, and one of
the witnesses deposed to a cry that Sir Robert's
voters were locked up or blocked up. It was on
the polling day, and it was no wonder that in
the state of excitement in which the town was Sir Robert
honestly believed that they were locked up, and indulged
in the violence of language attributed to him. The learned
counsel referred to the polling sheets of the Byron ward
to show that almost the whole of the voters who polled
early in the day, in the fret hour or two, polled for et
and Morley, which was prima facie evidence that
Robert's voters were prevented from mining up to the poll.
The Chairman said that the learned counsel could not
prove the hours of polling from the poll-book.
Mr. Rodwell said that he should be prepared with an
analysisof the polling, whichwould show that out of the first
100 then, was a very large proportion of the voters whopolled
for Paget and Morley as compared with the votes for Clif-
ton. He would give one instance which would be a fair
example of the whole. In the Exchange polling-booth
there were 24 who polled for Paget and Morley, 1 for
Martin, and none for Clifton. They had the evidence of
Adcock to show that the moment way was made
for Sr R. Clifton's voters, five went up and polled one
after the other for Clifton, as recorded in
the poll book. He should call three or four
oonetables to show that the poll-booths were unfairly
packed by Paget, and that the voters of Clifton could not
get in. He should call one of the witnesses, who would
prove rather a singular incident, and that was, that when
some of the Clifton voters could not get in, one of them
cried out, " Let us in, we cannot get in ;" when one of
those who were obstructing the way said, " I will answer
you in the words of St. Paul,' You cannot enter here without
the keys.'" Now that was a very curious expression and
not very likely to have been invented. He should show
by the evidence of Mr. Hedington that so far from
Sr Robert inviting the mob to acts of violence he really
did all he could to stop anything like violence and he
should give the statement of the " lambs" that
had been called, and who had stated that
Sir Robert told them that they must go in sad
smash the committee room of Morley and Paget, in
St. Ann's ward, the flattest contradiction. That there was
very great excitement in the town was quite evident from
the statement of one witness, who charged the mayor with
, being half-drunk. Supposing Sir Robert had made use of
such an expression, would it net have been
said that be was trying to bring the authorities
• , into contempt with a view to serve his own interests The
learned conned then proceeded to comment at length upon
the evidence of Enowland and Reeves, in order to show
that they had contradicted themselves, and that no reli-
ance was to be placed upon their testimony, and was pro-
ceeding with his address when our report left.

Although the continued influx of gold and the
firmness of the exchanges, which is likely to be
increased by the apprehension of war in Germany,
point to the probability of a further fall in the
value of money, it is doubted, considering the un-
favourable character of the movements shown in
the last return, whether a reduction in the Bank
rate will be made before next week at the earliest.
It seems reasonable to expect that the Bank
directors will wait to see the effect of the payment
of the April dividends, which will commence on
Monday next, the 9th inst.
At Hamburg, on Saturday, the rate of discount
was 4I per cent., showing an advance of I per cent.
The amount of gold purchased by the Bank yes-
terday was only 3,0001., but some considerable sums
out of the recent Australian arrivals are expected
to be sent in during the next few days.
The Lanarkshire has arrived from Melbourne

The steamer Douro, from Brazil, has arrived at

The report of the direators of the Bahia and
San Francisco Railway Company (Limited), to be
presented at the general meeting on the 10th inst.,
describes a steady increase in the traffic of the
line, resulting in a balance in favour of the oom-
nycof 59,9051. for the half-year ended the 31st
December last. The directors recommend that
" from this balance a dividend for the half-year
be declared of 12s. per share, making a total divi-
dend for the year of 6 per cent.,_ and
over 5,9061. 7s. lid., part of which is wired
for the completion of the bridges and culverts
damaged by the inundation mentioned in the last
report, and part for unsettled claims, against which
the directors feel bound to make a reserve.'
A general meeting of the City of Milan Improve-
manta Company (Limited) will take place on the
10th inst., when resolutions will be submitted con-
firmatory of those which were passed at the meet-
ing of the 10th March, 1866, if the necessary steps
for the reorganisation of the company are then suffi-
ciently advanced. If that should not be the case,
similar resolutions to those passed at the previous
meeting will be proposed.
It is understood that Mr. J. F. Wilkinson, late
managing director of the Joint Stock Discount
Company, has found it advisable to resign his seat

Annexed is the substance of the report of the
directors of the London Bank of Mexico and South
America (Limited), to be presented at the second
annual meeting on the 10th inst. :
The directors, in presenting their report for the
yearhalf-
ending 304 h December, 1865, have to congratulate the
shareholders on the successful progress of the bank during
that period. From the annexed statement of accounts it
will be seen that the gross profits of the bank from lit of
July to 30th December, 1865, amount to 52,5611. 113 s. 7d.,
and after deducting the current expenses, writing off bad
debts, and carrying the sum of 10,2431. Os. 3d. to profit
and loss new account for rebate on bills, there remains a
net profit for the half-year of 27,860/. 19e., which, with
13,5851. 7s. 7d. brought forward from last half-year, gives
an available total of net profit of 41,4461. 6s. 7d. The
directors recommend that 15,000/. of this sum be appro.
Cited to the payment of a dividend of 158. per share,
• at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum ; 2,1331.
12eOd. to the reduction of preliminary expetioes ; and
that 20,0001. be carried to the reserve fund, which will
then amount to 21,000/. • and than the balance, 4,3121.
13s. 9d., be carried forward to the current half-year sub-
ject to the reduction of payment of directors' and auditors'
remuneration and inoome-tax.
With reference to the English Convention Bonds

wasin the mixing of which even Lord Hartington
and E;l7le7ie lent their inexperienced hands in beating
up the eggs—a part of the preparation, by the way, which
requires no little skill, and is, moreover, intensely labo-
rious ; and when, lifter several hours of merriment, we
separated at a late hour, both of them agreed that camp
life was, after all, not so unendurable. On the morning of
the 30th our pasta paid a visit to General Lee, where I
joined them, and we rode off together to Moss-Neck, Jack-
son's headquarters, a distance, as has been mentiosed, of
twelve miles. We arrived about midday, and were re-
ceived in a small pavilion attached to the main building,
where the general had been prevailed upon, at the urgent
request of the owner, to take up his abode. Old Stonewall
so fascinated his English visitors by his kind and pleasant
manners and the resources of his conversation, that, quite
against their previous intentions, they accepted his invita-
tion to dinner, and instead of a visit of twenty minutes,
many hours were spent under :the general's roof—hours
that sped so rapidly, that when Lesley bethought himself
to look at his watch, it was discovered to be very near the
hour when we were all expected beck to slipper with Gen.
Lee. Away we Warted at full gallop ; but though our
horses were urged to their topmost speed, we reached head-
quarters far behind our time, and the general bad long
since taken his simple meal. To Lawley's excuses for our
unintentional unpoliteness he laughingly replied, " Gen-
tlemen, I hope Jackson bas given yon a good dinner, and if
so, I am very glad things have turned out as they have, for
I had given the invitation without knowing the poor state
of my mess provisions, and should scarcely have been able
to offer you anything." The 31st was quietly spent at
headquarters in the discharge of our camp duties and the
enjoyment of the bright warm sunshine with which for the
space of a few days the winter in Virginia favoured.
Our guests accommodated themselves with admirable fad-
lity and good humour to the discomforts of a soldier's life,
and insisted that we should not make any change for them
in our ordinary routine, but let them fare as exactly as the
rest. Accordingly Lord Harlington and Lawley might at
one time be seen, ,their sleeves rolled up, burly washing
their pocket-liandkere.hida, and not far off Colonel Leslie

To carry on thew the most ingenious devices were resorted
to, at some of which I was vastly amused. On reaching
the river we beheld quite a little fleet of small boats, from
three to four feet in length, under full sail, with flying
pennants, weaving backwards and forwards between the
shores of the river, conveying tobacco and Biedunond
newspapers over to the Stafford side, and retrain loaded
in exchange with sugar and coffee and Northern journals.

him at the corner of Eaton-square. He at first said be did
not fire the rifle. His comrade's rifle had the muzzle

Colonel Baring, of No. 1, Chester-place, then came up, and
prisoner acknowledged firing the rifle, saying he was very
sorry for it; it was a blank cartridfe.
Prisoner said when be left Brighton, there was some-
thing the matter with the nipple of his rifle, so he put caps

SNIPWNACIL AND NAILSOW ESCAPE Of A LITZ-
Bon's CarW.—During Sunday night a severe gale blew
upon the Northumberland coast from the &N. 8., with a
fearful sea breaking. At tideanie yesterday morning, the
mloto and others on the look out swain the grestat alarm
ler some of the vessels which were running for the Tyne
for shelter should be driven ashore, and about 4 o'clock
the reports' of three guns, one following the other rapidly,
indicated that a vessel had gone whore on the south
of the Tyne, and Galled up the life brigade to rescue the
crew. The Tynearouth and South Shields brigades mus-
tered rapidly, said men might be seen running towards
the mast in all directions. The vessel that bad gone
ashore bad dons so at the south side of the south pier,
and the violent sea had driven her well up. The South
Shields brigade had the apparatus soon out, and a line
was directly thrown out to the rend. A hawser was
paned to the ship aed a senile wee rigged upon it, and the
crew, Ave in number, with the master's wife and child,
were speedily landed, the South Shields brigade winning
the first laurels in saving life, in oonnenon with the
crew and popular volunteer fore. The South Shields
life brigade on duty was largely composed of South Shields
pilots. As soon as the signal was given, another
=,of the South Shields pilots manned the Tyne
and were taken in tow of • steam-tug. Un-
fortunately, in riving down the eatery of the Tyne,
the lifeboat was struck by two or three heavy was,
which
broke the tow line, and, before the men could ship their
sere, the boat was driven with tremendous force upon the
inner pi*. The men were either pitched out or had to leap
for their lives, and scramble as best they could amongst the
stones out of the reach of the res. They were in great
peril for some time, for if the same kind of heavy sees
had broken on the piers, or struck the boat, they would
inevitably have been winked off and drowned. As it was,
they happily escaped this great danger, and reached the,
shore, some of them badly bruised. The bottom of the
boat is stovo in. The vessel that is wrecked is the
Tenterden, of and from Dundee, in ballast for Sunderland.
Her master's name is Mr. )Way. Her Crew were will
taken care of, and there are some hopes that if the weather
moderats the vessel may be saved.
