THE JAMAICA OUTBREAK.

At Bow-street police-court yesterday, bsfore
Mr. Vaughan, an application was made for a summons
against Mr. Eyre, late Governor of the Island of Jamaica,
for alleged misconduct in that office.
The prosecution was conducted by Sir R. P. Collier and
Mr. J. Horne Payne, instructed by Messrs. Sheen and
Roscoe, solicitors to the Jamaica Committee ; Mr. Rose,
of Salisbury-street, was in attendance to watch the case
for Mr. Eyre.
Sir It. P. Collier said he had to apply for a summons
against Governor Eyre for various misdemeanours com-
mitted in the exercise of his duty as governor of the island
of Jamaica, anti principally for issuing an illegal procla-
mation. He was instructed by Mr. John Stuart Mill,
M.P., and Mr. P. A. Taylor, He proposed to take
the summons under the Colonial Acts.
Mr. Vaughan said that upon the whole, and of course
remembering that all the arguments urged and facts al-
leged on this occasion would be subject to revision here.
after, he thought they ought to grant the summons. Still,
as certain proceedings in the matter had been before Sir
Thomas Henry, and he was seized of all the facts, the sum-
mons ought to be heard before him. He would sit at this
court on Tbursday next.
Sir R. P. Collier said that Mr. Philipps, an important
witness, would leave F.ngland on that day, having been ap-
pointed Queen's Advocate for Sierra Leone.
Mr. Vaughan said in that cue he would fix Wednesday.
Of course he was quite willing to hear the case, for it was
his duty to do so. Still he thought it would be better
that it oho old come before Sir Thomas Henry, who was
so thoroughly aoquainted with all the banner proceedings.
Perhaps in the interval it might be so arranged. He was
quite ready to take the case if neoessary.
Summons granted.

PARISH OF ST. LAWRENCE JEWRY.—Yesterday
afternoon &vestry meeting of the inhabitants of this parish,
the church of which has become well known for its per-
petual round of services in connection with the Pan-
Anglican Synod, and since that time to the present, was
held for the purpose of electing churchwardens, and on
other business. The Rev. B. Morgan Cowie, 8.D., presided.
It is usual in this parish, with which that of St. Mary,
Milk-street, is connected, to elect three churchwardens,
the senior of whom goes out each year. Mr. Kynaston,
the senior churchwarden of the past year, now retires, and
Mr. Sur and Mr. Pell, who had acted with him, were
elected. On the proposition that Mr. Ouseley should be
• the third churchwarden' a long and somewhat bitter dis-
• cession took place. Mr. Baker drew attention to the ex-
travagant ornamentationwhichheuid had been introduced
into the services of the church. He was told that there
had been E here advanced service, and that a compromise
had been entered into, lint compromise or no compromise,
he entirely objected to the practices which now prevailed.
Mr. R. Taylor complained that the church was opened
for the convenience of all persons who liked to attend it,
whether parishioners or not, from 11 to four o'clock every
' day. A stranger entering it would at owe goose to the
conclusion that it was a Roman catholic einveli, for most
of the persons who worshipped there now erased them-
selves and bowed to the altar when they came into chorale.
Wu that, he asked, the way of entering a protestant church?
Mr. Ouseloy was called upon to state Lis views ow the
ritualistic question, but declined to commit himself is
anything. In consequence drags refusal Mr. Lowry moved,
and Mr. Farthing seconded, an amendment that Mr. R.
Taylor should be the churchwarden. Another angry and
not very intelligent discussion took place which threatened
to be prolonged indefinitely, had not the meter shown
some firmness in not allowing any person to speak more
than half a dozen times on the same question. At last
there was a vote, and there were—for Mr. Ouseley, 13 ;
for Mr. Taylor, 13. The rector gave his casting vote for
Mr. Ouseley, and Mr. Lowry demanded spoil on behalf of
Mr. Taylor. Then came another difficulty, the rector said
be was going away, and could not attend the poll, and Mr.
Davidson, the vestry clerk, said he was under-sheriff, and
must be at the Fenian trials all next week. After a good
• deal of consideration next-Wednesday week, between 11
and 3, was fixed upon as the day of poll, and until that
• time the vestry adjourned.

fellow was drowned. The body was afterwards recovered.
