PARIS, EONDLY EVENING.

In :..% veal cafe's of the Quartier Latin last night
the sit:dents made a manifestation of sympathy
Qi with B. Henri Rochefort, who is prosecuted for not
itwertina, in the Lai,troir tho unwieldy" communi-
cated t,, te" served upon him by M. Pined. In
„lan) ;t -t slices they mounted the tables, and, clink-
ing beer-glasses, drank to the health of M.
Nadal, It. It is very extraordinary that M.
ho has now made the law on comma-
dieuloua awl impracticable, said lately in
a eireu:ar to the plef,•cts, that those government
tuft.ta ions of erroneous statements should bo
short, and to the purpose, and never degenerate
into long yarns.

,nsicur le Ministre d'F.tat —I find by the Mositeur of
. morning that in answer to M. Jules Fsvre, who
,_d me the honour to mention my name front the
tribune, you spoke of me in terms of which I am
obliged to take notice. If you as a minister are
enhtled to respect, every citizen has a right to
r expect common politeness from you. I beg to say that I
care no more for your disdain than I fear your vengeance.
I have published a series of articles on the Mexican
xpedition which you have neither dared to refute nor
to prosecute because I was supported by the truth and
written proofs. Since that publication I have been silent.
But if you will consent to guarantee the full liberty of
my crn I am prepared to tell the country all
that I yet know concerning both the begin-
.
Ding and the end of your Mexican policy,
and you know as well as I do that France has the greatest
interest in knowing the truths that I could tell. Ro-
t, ceive the assurance of my respectful consideration.

to encourage me than such a manifestation otjour re-
gard. Relative to these questions I have but thin io say,
that I entertain a confident hope that they will be so dis-
posed of as to remove whatever embarrammentst they
may have occasioned, and secure to both governments an
enduring and honourable peace. Both nations, wrest
in power and alike influenced by a Christian civilisa-
tion, neither should look on the other with a jealous,
hostile rivalry, or fail to see that the interests of both
greatly depend upon the prosperity of each. Speaking
the same language, inheritors of the same common re-
nown, possessing to a great degree the same political prin.
ciples—derived from a common ancestry, essential to the
security of property, liberty, and life—sharing equally in
the admiration of their poets, their orators, their states-
men, and their philoeophere, endowed with the same love
of rational enterprise, they must see that Providence
~.signs them to be friends, not enemies, and to this end
7!..~t it is the duty of each nut to do, or to suffer to be done,
tliout full redress, wrongs to the other."

2HE ATHERSTONE larrAz CASE.

COURT OF ARCHES.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Right lion. Sir Robert Phantom, Dean of
Arrhce.)
r, nOILDINOLET.-317DONVNT.

This was a suit joy the Rev. Mr. Melling's, the
incumbent of St. Mary. Atherstone, in Warwickshire,
against Mr. Cordingly, one of the churchwardens, for
fircilile removing a taper, altar and ornaments used in
divine worship, and introduced by the incumbent. The
answer was that the decorations had leen illegally placed
ix the church', and that the defendant had acted on a reso.
lotion passid at a vestry meeting. It was admitted on
1... th sides that the articles had been placed in the church
'without a faculty or permission and had been removed
s about a faculty.
His lordship lucidly narrated the facts of the case, and
then proceeded to consider the law as well tic the duties
n-sponsibilities of thurehwaidens, whether acting
.p ioily or otherwise. He laid it down as one of the first
J., inciples of ecclesiastical law that no addition should be
u ad,. la a church or rculoved without proper authority.
The bishop, i 4 the ordinary, would give his sanction for
Mu introduction, but no vestry meeting could authorise
tl.c churchwardens to remove any deerimtion or ornament
w hit h had been introduced. Neither could ene churchwarden
proceed to act in the manner Mr. Cordingley bad done.
The Dean of Arches drew a vivid picture of scenes which
right occur in these days of religious cisitement if such
things were permitted. The prayer that the articles
should be restored was not pressed, and he had to consider
a hat punishment he had to inflict. Considering that on the
part of the defendant a statement of fact was offered to
1. agreed upon but refused, he should in admonishing
thc deferdant, which he did, order him to pay IOW. ex.
)-I.ses of the suit.
Judgm, lit accordingly.
