below. lie had contended in the MA instance that the
C011111118.14M0111 should only have taken cogniaauce of what
hol occorred within the diocese m 4 Loudon. and that thee
hopiohl not have entered lilt., matters, not si within it, and,
therefore, that rem article, could be folindrd on that evi.

and it could not Le timintanted that evidence of what hail oc.

much as the sentence of deprivation had bre. prinouoced
by the I eo of .trehes, atal nut by the Imediop of the diocese

miff hail tint shown -owl. Imbed, he had left the onus on the
respendeut -that there were any iastauces in which the
(intimp hail come into court and pronounced a sen-
t. live of dc;invation oo an offending clergyman.
The appellant had alluded to the practice to the
Cousino,ry t'ourt, and had argued that there most be an
aiialiev between the practice of that court and the Court
of .tonee, ant their lordships were of ripinioo that this
le.:Mood objection had completely failed. The appellant had
further appealed to their lordship+ ou the wood of the
seventy of Lis p1111661111111t, au,l hail conteukd that • sen•
teoce of deprivauon was not pronounced for a single offence
but for a aurae of misconduct. But it was clearly proved
by the evidence that Mr. Boswell, a maimed man
earl a clergyman of the eatahliehed church, hurl
been guilty of systematic seduction and adultery,
that he had to polluted the 'Moil of • young girl as to tusks
her submit to bur endear:es, and that in a room deemited to
the education of children she had brought forth the fruit of
their illegal intereourse, thus aiming a great scandal to the
whole body if the church. Mr. 800 well said he had repented,
therefore that lie ou4'it to be restored to his cure, and he
bad dared t. hung forwent the Inc.- of many of the saints as
an excuse for and palliation of his conduct, but with those
religions men there was a deep and eincere repentance,
whereas the only feeling which appeared to animate Mr.
Bramwell was the low and aortlid moue of regaining peer
eerie* of the Meows of hi. benelke. On all the points
raised their lordships would feel it to Le their duty to
revestimeod to her Majesty in council to affirm the sentence
of the court below, and to denote.. the appeal ; and their
lordships ravened that. ea the appellant sued io forma
reopens, the appeal could sot be dismissed with costa.
Judgment accordingly. There is no appeal from this
derides; so the seutence of deprivation against Mr. Bon-
ed' steads.

TILIF ENCOUNTER IN NORTIW.VBBRLANIX

STREET.

The polio, are still wont actively engaged in
minutely investigating every detail connected with this ex-
traordinary awn It is stated that they now have a strong
clue to the solution of the mystery, but it is of the last im-
portance to the end. of justice that nothing as to the nature
or direction of their sitspicions should be allowed to trans-
pire at present. Major Murray is still progressing very
f ,vourably. Mr. Roberts is not likely to be out
of danger for some time to come. From the very
lacerated nature of his wounds the danger to be feared in
his came is erysipelas setting in, which, of course, in his
present condition, would almost necessarily hare a fatal
termination.

LATIAT PARTICULAR:I.

In rorly to inquiries made this morning at Charing-erosa
Hospital of the housenurgeon, Mr. Skaggs, it is stated that
Mr. Roberta is rapidly sinking, and little hopes are enter-
tained that he will survive the day out. Major Murray is
progressing moat favourably.

SrLitiEN DEATH OT liiß. BLAND THE ACTiiR.

CHARGE or CRUELTY. —Lieut. -Colonel R. P.
Spalding. of the l'ortsmouth Division of Royal Marine
Light Infantry, on Toesday appeared before the magis-
trates at Gosport, on remind, to answer a charge of assault-
ing and cruelly treating his son, Alexander C. Spalding,
• boy of eight yearn of age, whereby his life was en-
dangered. The evidence was most conflicting. It appeared
that the boy had lived with his grandparents in Scotland
about six years, and had returned home twelve months
ago. Since this time be has played the meet extraordinary '
pranks. He threw plates down the closets, emptied jogs
of water into the beds, and tore leaves from some of the
choicest books ip hls father's possession. The boy on com-
mitting these offences bad been severed y punished and had
admitted that he was the delinquent. Dr. Wharton. who
examined him, add be cnosidered the punishment be had
receivesd to be severe. It wee not, however, of a kind, in
his opinion, to endanger life or limb. At the conclusion
of the evidence, the magistrates retired, and, lifter about
henna lour's absence, returned into entire The chairman, '
addressing Colonel Spalding, said--" We have given the
case oardeepoot and moot careful consideration, both as
reotrili the public &she; and your own as a parent, and
we are of opinion that the punishment indicted upon the
child has been very severe, but that the provocations on the
part of your son are unprecedented ; we shall therefore
dismiss the ease." The information bed been laid by a Mr.
J. Ilturv,• grocer at Aleeretoke.

THE E

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF 0031XONS.--(THIs DAY.)
The srwint took the stair at r, minutes past 12.
In committee of simpIySUPPLY., as the vote of 110,09 Rf. to com-
plete the sum of 1240UW., for the Treasury chest.
Sir H. WILLOUtiHSY eomplaitiol that for several
Fears payments had been made out of the Treasury cheat
without the knowisdie of parliament. Money was, ho be-
lieved, taken from that source fur the support of the troops
in Tien-fain.
_ _

Mr.1,71/ILLRMS called attention to the large iteni of
18,0001. lent in the with Houg Kong.
Mr. V. PEEL ohaene3 that there hal usually been a
profit on Buell tnumactioas, but in the care of the remittances
to China there wee a leas.
The vote was then agreed to.
The following votes were also agreed to :
:view. for the Expeditiee to the Zambesi SAW. for
the Niger Expedition; 2,00 U for the North-westeru Austra-
lian Expeditiou ; 21,000/. pert of the vote for the support
of captured aggress ; sad 4,751 Y. for the express of the
Mixed Consmissioa for the Suppression of the Slave Trade.
I In the vote of 124,1 Et/. for coesub, abroad.
Mr. 11,01 MON argued that • great many of the consulates
were unnecessary, mad ought to he sbdisbol, iustmeing,
among others, the cases of Ghent, Seville, Leipsic,
Milan, Momper, sad Paris. As regarded Paris, lie contended
that the consulate should be dour away with. and its tune-
tious discharged at the einhaesv. Ho could not understand
why • consul.geneml hail been recently appointed for Milan,
there beang no duties of say importanco for him to perform.
Mr. W. WILLIA3LY objected to the number of vice-
consuls, sad sail many of the (Aloes were perfect sinecures.
There were, he observed, fourteen consulates, emithigA,:iog.
a year, is the United States, with which' we had an in--
mouse trade, and rd. costing 21,000 e a year, in Turkey.
lewd J. ILUPSELL, in replying, said it was intended to
abolish the mad consulate at 'Ghent. It was intended to
give the office at Paris at the end of the term of the present
eensulate to the librarian of the embassy, who would con-
tinue attached to the embassy. Speaking generally, he re-
marked that the morernment could not obtain complete and
satisfactory iuformatiou with regard to the middle
classes M foreign countries merely from its diplo-
matic ;.gents, and to secure that object the duties
of the consuls and vice-consuls were of great int.
portauce. The consul at Moscow furnished valuable
information with agar! to Central Russia ; and a similar
remark was applimible to the consulate at Warsaw.
The consulate at Milan was not necessary as a permanent
office, but it was very useful at present in reporting the
effects of the great changes which had recently occurred in
Italy. The consulate at Seville would on the first oppor-
tunity he abolished.
Mr. WHITE Ini.relldei his disappointment at the noble
speech.
Lord If. VANE defended the vote.

Mr. W. Fi 011.STiiiTthTuiitiiZublhc very nowieo to
rrAuce the consulates io Germany in iu present political
condition.

Mr. FREELAND was in favour of a general reduction,
and oomplairad of inefficiency in some of the euinulates.
Mr. H. FITZA:ERALDremarked that the whole conned
the government for many yeah had been marked by a desire
to sweep away unnecessary appointments. while supplying
manifest tleflciencie. in the consider service.
Mr. Alderman B.IIi)MONS was
[Left speaking.)

MONEY AfAREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLocz.

The news from America has caused a fresh fall
of i tot per cent. in the funds, which continue
very sensitive to any adverse influence. Within
the last hour the receipt of the text of the Pre-
sident's message has had a discouraging effect,
The other markets are generally dull. English
railway stocks are a little flatter. The principal
speculative transactions have been in Turkish
bonds, which have experienced several flueua-
tions.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented; opened at
67fr. Vic., being without change.
The scrip of the New India Loan, after being
marked 100 a, has declined to 100 to I, and the
