at by Mr. Coutaroos would not fulfil
this condition. The Anglican Church in Ire-
land would retain a connexion with the govern-
ment which would not be shared by the Boman
catholic church in Ireland. It may be said that
this connexion would be nothing but a disadvan-
tage, but we are quite sure that this is not the light
in which it would be regarded by the average
Irishman. State recognition will always, in the
eyes of the multitude, confer a oertain social supe-

make the most 'of such an exceptional position.
And why are we asked to run this risk ? Only, it
appears, that we may not " have the scenes of

Fenianism and a few other recent troubles, the
possibility of having a bishop too many in some
Irish diocese or other does not seem very terrible.

THE INCATEST AT AHIOO/I.Z.

Commenting upon the unseemly proceeding at the Aber-
pie inquest, the Star remarks that the coroner seems to
be a man somewhat of the school of honest Dogberry,
plodding, perplexed, dreadfully pedantic in his way, and
yet quite undecided, full of talk and self-importance,
blundering, inconsequential, anxious to do right, and yet
even when going in the right direction getting along the
truck in a wrong sort of way. It was, however, scarcely
worth the while of a peer and a baronet and several other
personages of rank to keep up a constant wrangle with
an official whose worst pedantries or mistakes could scar-
cely lead to anything so unseemly as the means taken to
correct them.

The Herald gives the coroner credit for having done his
best to bridge over the gulf that separates the sublime
from the ridiculous.

THE LABOtla QtrE9TION.

The Peat insist& that the only remedy for the im-
poverished condition of the agricultural labourer described
to the British Association by Canon Girdleetone, is to be
found in national emigration, education, and time.

parliamentary reform. It was on the afternoon of Wednes-

CENTRAL CRIMINAL corizz—(TMlll Dar.)

A special session of the Central Criminal Court
was opened this morning for the purpose of Axing the
days for holding the sessions for the ensuing year. The
following days were appointed :—Monday,Nov. 23, and
December 14, 1868. In 1869—Monday, Jan. 11; Monday,
Feb. 1 ; Monday, March 1; Monday, April 5 ; Monday,
May 3; Monday, June 7; Monday, July 12; Monday,
August 16; Monday, Sept. 20; and Monday, Oct. 25.

NOVEL READINO.—In these days everybody
reads novels. Now and again we hear the voice of a
thoughtful or earnest man raised against this popular
recreation. Mr. Carlyle or the Archbishop of York may
endeavour to prove to us that we are dissipating our
minds, wasting our time, and encouraging laxity and dif-
fumes, in our intellectual powers : but the preaching of
the preacher is of no avail. Men are as labonous as ever
they were. Our wives and daughters are more highly
educated than were our mothers and grandmothers. We
work, and pray, and ride, and dance, and gamble, and
talk politics as assiduously as ever. But we all read
novels—lawyers, divines, merchants, soldiers, sailors.
martial, politicians, and what not. There is hardly a
man or a woman who can read who does not require
that some amount of novel reading shall be printed for
the delight of his or her leisure hours. And so much is
learned from novels—so much of good and of evil—so
very many of the details of everyday lift, are done honestly
or dishonestly, selfishly or unselfishly, in a manner Di-
vine or diabolical, as the mind of the doer may have been
operated upon beneficially or injuriously by the novelist's
art, that the production and porseenion of good novels in-
stead of bad, that is of novels that will teach good lessons
instead of novels that will teach bad lessons, is a matter
of vital importance to the nation. We think that we are
right in asserting that the novels of the day have more
effect on the national mind than either the sermons or
the poetry ; more probably than any other branch of
literature with the exemplars of newspapers—even if we
except them.—,4f. Pawl, Afarsans for Nonfalwr.

THE RIGHT WAY TO MEI! THEM.

The John BO publishes a letter from a Conser-
vative Landlord on the beet way of bringing liberals and
dissenters to their senses. "The triumph of the church
sad conservative cause may suer be secured by one
method and one method stoma, as far as can see at pre-
sent" This method is eziffenve denting rigidly carried out.
"Conservative churchman hold scene Uteen-twentieths of
the property of England, and have consequently three-
fourths of the expetare of the country us their hands
to use as they may please. Let them then have no deal-
ings whatsoever with any one but with sound senserva-
tive churchmen, and they will soon find the cemseissoes
of the venous sectaries and other liberals to be of so
pliable a character that they will unhesitatingly
accede to the wishes of their customers, and to • very
great extent let dissent and liberalism go to the dogs."
The objection is anticipated that pinions so ner
would be denounced -by the liberal pram. " Let
them howl," rays the Conservative" until
their throats are sore. They thus show, beyond dispute,
the excellency of the system I am advocating. If
I bad a thousand farms to let. or places for • thousand
workmen I would not have anything to do with any
liberal or liberty of conscience dissenter of an sect what-
soever. They would cover the land with 's eggs,
which would produce discontent, disrespect, disobedience,
reatance, and every evil work, according as each man's
liberty of conscience might desire or suggest. Let some
means be immediately adopted to ascertain the names and
residences of tradesmen of conservative church principles,
and let them be published, and I for one will engage
neser to spend • farthing with anyone else. Thus fighting
our enemies with their own effectual weapons, property,
and influence, will have their influence, and we shall
triumphantly seereed."

LILL DUDLLT AND 110. lIIIITICII MAIL

An incident which cooarrred in the trial at the Central
Criminal Court on Friday, in which twit plasma were
charged with forging an ao:eptenos with intent to &baud
the Earl of Dudley, may, the TIMM thinks, possibly help
to contort those who think that England Is shoot to be
dashed over the Niagara of democracy, and that all the
social influences which have so long maintained her
in her proud position are to be swept in ruin away.
The earl was subpoenaed as a witness, bat east a telegram

whereupon Mr. Justice Bytes announced that he should

publicly to volunteer an asesrtion of his independence is
mach as if a lady ware to users us of her chastity, or
• soldier to declare that in the neat action he was not
going to run away. By way, however, of enforcing and
practically illustrating the high-minded vie* he had
taken of his duty, the judge, later on in thecae*, fs•rlessly
ordered that Lord Dudley should be" formally railed on

his recagniminces," and h• was celled accordingly, but

to be adjourned, and the jury were locked up aid the fol.
day. When his lordship did at last appear, the judge,
instead of reprimanding him or eetreating his meg-
alma:es, find considerately reminded hie lordship that the
expenses he was prepared to incur would mooed the
entreatment, and then "playfully " eemplimented him
MI his " judicial experience." Thaekeray tells a touching
story of a college Don who burst into tears when an earl

Charles Sarag;,2l,who was convicted last sessions of

In this case, it a that the prisoner went to the
prosecutor, a pawn , of Aldersgate-street, producing
a chain, represented it to be gold, and wanted an advanoe
corresponding with its supposed value upon it. This
chain was thickly electro-plated with gold, and so well
got-up that it deceived the shaman, and he advanced a
sum of money upon it. It was afterwards found to be
only base metal, and on the prisoner's second visit to the
shop with a similar article he was given into custody. At
the trial, the jury found him guilty, and as he said be
had hitherto earned an honest tiring, the assistant-judge
deferred passing sensence, to allow inquiries to be made
about him.

Yr. F. H. Lewis, who prosecuted the case at the trial,
said that inquiries has been made since the lest session,

company's assets in Egypt.
In proposing the resolutions, the anallaust explained

sanction of • special general meeting caned for the
purpose, and confirmed at a subsequent. The or-

The complainant, who entered the vritnews-box with a
Latch of surgical planter over the left eye, and carrying
her right aim in a sling, stated that on Saturday evening,
about balf-past nine o'clock? she was with a couple of
friends in Clifton-street, Finsbury, when the prisoner
tpoke to one of them, and because she bade him leave
heta, he struck one of her friends and knocked her down.
When witness remonstrated with him he abused her.
She then pushed him away, and he struck her a fearfully
heavy blow on the eye knocking her down ; while down
he raised his heavy boot and kicked her on thVright
shoulder. On trying to get up she found she was unable
to use her arm, and a constable coming up she gave
prit.ouer into custody. Subsequently she was removed to
the hospital.
Mary Connor, 13, Long-alley, Bishopegate, corroborated
this evidence, as also did Catherine Murray, the latter
adding that she saw the prisoner kick prosecutrix several
times.

Mr. Abbott, in defence, tried to show that the woman
lint accosted prisoner, and on hie telling them to go away
they accosted him with filthy epithets, and provecutriz
Malta him twice. He tailed a witness named DeratiS
Shea, who tried to prove this, but stopped when he got
to the part where preset-atria was knocked down, and
Nail he did not see any more.
Mr. Ellison remanded the prisoner to ascertain bow the
woman progressed.
MARYLEDONE.

laiLabeth Hawk, prostitute, was charged with being
drunk and creating a disturbance at Trinity Church,
Euston-road, and &moulting Alfred Jackson, the beadle.
Jackson said that on Saturday evening he was attend-
ing to his, duty, when prisoner, who was drunk, came up
the steps and demanded to enter the church. She was
told the service was on, and she could not he allowed in.
Prisoner ,aid there was some -- woman in there she
wanted to have out. She was again told she could not
go in, when she struck complainant on the face. She
struck him again on the breast and knocked him down
and fell on top of him. As he was struggling to release
himself prisoner tried to bite his face. In putting up his
hand to defend himself she bit his finger.
Prisoner said she had been drinking.
Mr. Knox ordered her to pay a fine of 209., or b•
imprisoned for fourteen dale.

TIiAMES.

The Rev. Richard Lee, the rector of Stepney, came
before Mr. Paget to complain of a member of hie convre-
gation, a young man, named Wood, who had assaulted
him in a public street. On the evening sf Sunday, the
9th instant, the young man wee laughing and otherwise
miecouducting himself in the course of the service. He
sent one of the pew openers to him with a request that
he should behave better, and leave off laughing. After
the service wee over, he was on hie way home to the
rectory, and conversing with two parishioners, when
Wood laid hold of his arm and held it so tightly as to
discolour it, at the same time saying, " What bumnesshad
tou to have the impertinence to send a message to me in
he church?'

Mr. Paget said, upon this statement the applicant
might have a summons. At the same time he would
throw out for the consideration of the reverend gentle.
man whether a mild reproof would not have the desired
effect of Dreventing a repetition of the offensive behaviour
in church.

The Rev. Mr. Lee did not wish the young man to be
punished either by line or imprisonment, but to be made
sensible of hie improper behaviour by a reprimand from
the magistrate.
Mr. Paget did not know what course the case might
take, or what defence could be set up. If the charge just
stated was unanswered it was probable that he should
have to punish the offender. Considering the position of
the appheant, his advanced age, and the circumstances
under which the assault wile committed, he thought the
rev. gentleman wee entitled to the summons, and that the
case should be properly investigated.

THE }TENCH DEMANIM.

M. E. Girardin, in this day's LitkPrl4%, puts for-
ward the ultimatum of France in the following
demands:
Wo demand that the work of 1829 should be resumed,
and that negotiations should be opened with Prussia on
this basis:—Prussia to be allowed to incorporate the
whole of the Saxon territory, as she has incorporated
Hanover, under the condition that she will concur in and
actively promote the formation of a Franco-German state,
comprehending Belgium, Rhenish Holland, Rhenish
Prussia, Rhenish Hesse, and Rhenish Bavaria,
to be ruled over by the King of Saxony, under
the title of " King of the Rhine country." or some
such name. Again, France would have no objection that,
instead of one kingdom of about 10,000,000 of people,
there should be two—leaving the King of the Belgians as
he is at present with his 4,940,000 subjects, and creating
a new kingdom of the Rhine lands with 4,534,000 inhabi-
tants. In case Prussia should refuse to accede to this
pacific arrangement, we demand that France should no
longer hesitate in pushing the line of her actual frontier to
that of her natural frontier. We demand, in a word.
what we last year called "our share of the river."

Two valuable legal works, bearing upon the inte-
rests of the mercantile community, have just been
published by Messrs. W. Maxwell and Sons. One
of them, " A Treatise on the Law of Fraud and
Mistake, as administered in Courts of Equity," by
I Mr. W. Williamson Kerr, of Lincoln's-ion, deals
with a subject so various in form and colour as to
seem to set all systematic classification at defiance.
It should be noticed, however, that fraud has a
much more extensive meaning in equity than in
law. Mr. W. W. Kerr's work deals with frauds
in trades, frauds in sales by auction, frauds upon
creditors, &c., and with the manner of impeaching
the same. The second volume, by Mr. R. G.
Williams and Mr. Gainsford Bruce, of the Middle
Temple, entitled " The Jurisdiction and Practice
of the High Court of Admiralty," is a very com-
plete manual of the practice of the law and the
practice of the court which decides the greater
number of the questions that arise in connexion
with our vast shipping interests.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Edward Ihnuertrr, described as an agent, was brought
up on remand, before the Lord Mayor, charged with ob-
ii i l food and lodging by false pretences.
It will be remembered from the evidence given at the
last eiaminatiou that the prisoner, accompaniod by his
wife, five grown-up children, and a man servant, went to
Mr. Zuni., yvcki's private hotel, No. 10, Crescent, Mum-
ries, and requested acconnuodation, representing that
he had just come from Gibraltar in the steamship
Trent, and that he had come up from Graves-
end by railway, leaving his luggage on hoard
the vessel. On the following Monday morning,
the hotel keeper, who began to suspoc the
truth of the prisoner's statement, went to the Custom-
house and ascertained that no vessel at arrived at Graves-
end from Gibraltar, and ho then gave the prisoner' who
was unable to pay his bill. into custody. Subsequently the
prisoner admitted that he had not been out of England for
he prosecutor now stated that, since the last examina-
tion his bill had been paid.
Mr. Wood, barrister, appeared for the prisoner, and
stated that he was a man who had some property in
Gibraltar.

The Lord Mayor said that was no answer to the charge,
as the prisoner went to his hotel without a penny in his
pocket, and obtained credit by falsely representing that
he had just anired from Gibraltar. The prowcutor, how-
ever, had accepted payment of his bill. and us there was
no other charges against the prisoner ho would be dis-
ehal ged.
He was discharged accordingly.
Edward Gedge, 29, was charged with embesding various
sums of money received by him in behalf of Messrs. Powis
and Stevens, export oilmen, 9, Water-lanc,City.
Mr. Stevens deposed that the prisoner had been in his
service as traveller and collector for five months, and that
his duties were to collect orders and receive money on
account of the firm. He travelled in the country, and
ought to have remitted the money he received everyweek,

" thanking them for so soon rallying round the flag of

armies of imposture and tyranny," and preparing them-
selves to " wash out of Italy the stain which still remains
of despotism, falsehood, and treason." He reminds them
that there is " no real liberty for the body without liberty

to which a regime of priests has reduced the noblest race

THE NEW BATHING ESTABLISHILENT AT SPA.
—The inauguration of the newly-built bathing establish-
ment at Spa, in Belgium, took place on Saturday.
The King and Queen were to have been present
on the occasion, and great preparations had been
made to receive them in a becoming manner by
the inhabitants. The precarious condition of the
health of the Crown Prince, however, prevented
the royal guests from participating in the fits. Their ab-
sence, and the cauve of it, threw a gloom over the entire
proceeding's, which were confined to the opening of the
Baths and the banquet, for which invitations had already
been distributed. The Ring was represented by 11. Primes,
I the Minister of the Interior.

THE NEW INDIAN VICEROY.

The Telegraph regrets to see that the controversy about
the Earl of Mayo's " impending appointment to the Vice.
royalty of India" takes a bitter partisan tone ; and that the
dispute between Whig and tory journalists goes on without
much chance of the Telegraph arriving at anything like a
judicial decision. It contends that if his lordship do
not make the best possible viceroy, it is unfair to assume
that he will be the very worst; and that as the tones
have the nomination, the responsibility of the choice must
be left with Mr. Disraeli.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Ilazlitt, Acting ConiTiesioirr.)

Ilia honour heard several applications in which no point
of public inter,t was involved. Several trader debtor
. .

sun-mouses, which had been taken out with a view to bank-
ruptcy, came before the court, and objections were
taken upon questions of form. In one case it was
objected that the address of the claimant had
not been set out in the particulars of demand, but
the debtor attended with his solicitor, and his
Honour, being of opinion that the matter had been
sufficiently brought to the knowledge of the debtor, de-
clined to allow the objection, and notice of appeal was
given. In another case it was urged that the particulars
of demand bad not been properly served, and that the sum-
mons, though personally served upon the debtor, ought to
be • .It appeared that the " particulars " were put
under the door and taken in, but there was no evidence
by whom, and the solicitor for the alleged debtor stated
that he had never received them. His Honour intimated
an opinion that the service was insufficient, but said he
would consider thepoint further. There were also several
applications on the part of non-assenting creditors
under deeds of arrangement executed by debtors for leave
to issue execution notwithstanding the certificates of the
due registration of such deeds. The evidence in support
of these applications showed that the deeds were got up
very loosely, and that various expedients were resorted to
in order to obtain an apparent statutory majority so as to
bind the non-assenting creditors. His Honour said he
would look through the papers, and then give his decision.
