not suppress our astonishment and concern, when
we find the advisers of his Royal Highness so far
compromising the dignity of the person exercising
the functions of Royalty, as to inflame a misunder-

LAST ACCOUNTS FRON ROHR ON IRISH
ECCLINI ASTI CA L AFFAIRS.
Most Reverend Doctor Troy has had a letter
within this week from his Einitietice, Cardinal Litta
(our Avoarite Cardinal), ms lin& Ecclesiastical
Affairs, its which his Eminence writes, that the
Holy See will wet consent to Domestic Nomination,
in the appointment of Irish Catholic Bishops.
The present mode of nomination, it is observed,
has given to the Catholic Church of Ireland good,
holy, and learned Prelates, who were faithful to
their trait, amid vigilantly guarded the purity mind
integrity of religion in the most trying times. The
Holy See is the lees inclined to make any change
now, as the temper and style in which such change
is sought to be brought about, by unofficial per-
sans, manifests a spirit and teal, not for the good
awl interest of religion--not for the 'Bettering the
discipline of the Catholic Church—but for the sub-
jugating and degrading the Episcopal Body alto-
griller. The late experiments made its Ireland, of
the bosons or Domestic Nomination, and the
consequences that followed. demonstrate the pro-
priety, iiideed almost the necessity. of this last
determine( of the Holy See. Shall we elm-
merate throe consequences? The recrimination of
conflicting parties—the implacable hostility of the
friends of the several candidates the disclosure of
matters which every friend to religion should
swish to conceal—the disrespect for she Episcopal!
character throughout such proceedings—the •.y
and obtrusive interference of the Laity—the eager-
ness which some Prints betrayed to fan the II sine
of destitution, and break up onto anarchy and lode-
prudence all the sulniriliniste orders of Priest-
hood. These, and rosily other " unseemly ohs-
advantages," would go at length to give to our
Refers a pretext to possess themselves of the no-
mination of our Prelates, for the specious reason
of keeping ;trace and good order. In France.
Francis I. found she evil consequences of Domestic
Nomination, for asauining, with the permission of
Leo. X. the nomination of the Bishops of France;
and this practice of Boyalisomilistiosi continued ever
since wills the French Monarchs, the many Cannes
to the contrary notwithstanding. The Holy See is
well aware of-these things. and will not make any
alteration in the present mode of appointing Iris
Catholic Bishops. The Holy See understands,
that if our Government will have a Veto, on the
appointment of Bishops, as the manner of appoint-
ment new stands, a Veto will be demanded, usi the
nomination of Cotonou. who are to compose the
Chapter—the electors who would choose the
Bishop, should Domestic Nomination be substitut-
ed for the other mode wow in practice; and it is well
known, that a Mini/tier of State, by s majority in
the House of Commons. has the power of doing
as much mischief to the country, as if he governed
arbitrarily, and according to his own good pleasure.
Moreover, its the emit of DOMESik Nomination,
Altoirlers would, with a greater chew of reason, and
force of argument, insist on a Veto, It isle principle
of common sense, that if men will seek preesution
against appreheded danger (though but bung Mary).
sit the same proportion as the danger increases, on
the same ratio should increase the circumspect'
against danger. Now, if Ministers demand r Vero
when hut two or three manage the matter of no-
minating Bishops, will they not insist on it more
sod muse when a far greater number have the ap-
pointment of Bishops amongst them, and those of
a class and order of protons whose principles of
loyalty the British Minister affects to suspect more
than Ise sloes the Bishops? This appetite unan-
swerable. and hoot it follows. that all those who are
friend, to Domestic Nomination. without considera-
tion, inadvertently furni•li most plausible reasons
for demanding a Veto. It most be on this account
that the Pope will not agree to the °leisure of doilies-

Doctor Troy, alludes to the late report of trans.

Upon which Charges the Court came to the fol-
lowing deci-ion :
The Court having duly considered the evidence me the
part of the prosecution, nod what the Prisoner, Liessteoant-
Carlene! Thomas Abensethie had to offer in his defence, is
of opissinn, that the fiat Charge is out proved, and, there-
fore. sepsiss him of that Chsnte.
The Coati is of opinion that the second Charge is not
proved, it appearing that the Prisoner, whilst he denied hav-
ing heard the particular espressimus, reperibienlfellow, and

guage equally degrading; and that he evinced ow intensiee

therefore, 'slab him of palpable or iideutional falsehood.

[The ilurd Chew: not being cognisable before a

The Court is of opinion that the Prisoner be out guilty of

acquit him.
The Court feels imperatively milled upon to comment

he was sorry to say that Dr. James was absent front
it two or three weeks at a time. and paid not the
least attention to the poor scholars. This he was
ready to allow as a serious eccosation, but his
Client. Dr. James, had filed an affidavit denying
it. and on the contrary declaring lie was always iii

of education. as he had a respectable Vetter to coil.

absent from the school more than four days ut
time, and that was when he went to Oxford to take
out his degrees. Another affidavit to the tame
effect had been filed by his Upher. Under these
circumstances, he trusted that the prayer of the pe-
tition would he graided. He could not see how
his Lordship could refuse it, as the increase °foolery
had been made by. the Coopers' Company, the
trusters of the Charity under the will of the
founder.

salary should be wily 401. per annum. mid it *as

schoolmaster, he declined going into them ; for

charges against him. he (the Learned Counsel) hail
no doubt of procuring a host of affidavits to the

there was for the charges. He would only observe.
that he was surpi ised, under the circumstances at-

This wig' a question with respect to the settle-
ment of a pauper of the name of Edward Canning.
The ltlagimrates had decided that the pauper had
:nbtainrit a regular settlement in the parish of St.
Leonard's. Shoreditch ; —and, on a preceding day
Mr. rtmita moved For a rule to spew cause why
-the order should not be quashed, on the ground
that the real settlement of the pauper was in Glen-
"welter. The pauper, it appeared. had come up
from Gloucester sonic yeah *ago. and was employed
'in'the house of De Pouthieu and Co. 161 a clerk.
During the period he was so situated, he slept in
vise parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, which it
was cootemled, entitled him to a settlement there.
Mr. Put.i.gg argued. that the station Which the
power filled, did not give him the privilege which
the hiring For a year would impart. The pauper
bud cerium duties to perform, and prosecuted theist
awing a given number of hours io the day. Out of
those hours, his employers had 'uo control over
him—and, on the Sunday, he might go where he
pleased, and fct as he pleased. Such an employ-
ment did mit, the Learned Counsel submitted, give
him a right of 'settlement iu the parish of St.
Lennart'.
Tlhr Court was unanimously of opinion, that the
pauper having been engaged by the year, bad ac-
quired a right of settlement—which could not be
shaken, on account of his not being under the con.
tied of his employers during the hours devoted to
his meals, or to recreation.

. The Defendant, in this case, is • butcher, re-
siding iu St. Jaines's-market. The Commissioners
appointed under the Act of Parliament for con-
founding the new street, found it necessary to
take pusiessinn of his premises, but he refused to
give them isp, mid the works in consequence stood
still. The question at issue was, whether he was
0 wevkly or a yearly tenant. Ou that depended
his right to claim a certain remuneration, under
the provisions of the Act.
HAaateox yesterday obtained a rule for
proceeding to strike the Special Jury. in order that
tbr cause might this day come on for trial.
Mr. MARRY•TT, 011 the part of the Defendant,
now moved, that all the proceedings should be dis-
vharged, on the ground of irregularity. The ma-
tsve. he observed, for having recourse to • Special
Jury. was, to select persons competent to decide
on matters of vital interest—but in consequence of
the hurry which marked the proceedings on the
other side, that advantage was entirely dispensed
with, *Mee the Jury had been struck in the course
• few hours, and all examination was thus -pre-
iresited._

Mr. ScsavAre and Mr. RICHARDSON were heard
cm the same side.
Messrs. H Artatsos and GURNEY opposed the
unification, which they contended was made only
for the purpose of delaying the trial of the cause.—
The Defendant, it teas clear, wished to get over the
present 'Feral ; for the Plaintiff had agreed to go
to trial at the Sittings after Term, provided, if he
succeeded, that he should have judgment, as of this
Teruo, which offer bad been rejected. Plaintiff
give notice atrial on the ~.14th of last month, which
'Mowed the Defe►ehwt awple lime to have a Special
Jury ►truck. I-le, however, did nothing in the bu-
►iness until late ou Saturday last, whets he ►wade
his election fur a Special Jury ; and at half-past
seven o'clock on Saturday night notice was served
on the Plaintiff. bloodily was a dies non—of course,
the Plaintiff could do nothing on that day—but, at
the earliest possible moment, namely. yesterday,
lie proceeded to have the Special Jury reduced.
I Tinter these circumstances, it was hoped tl►at the
Defendant would out be suffered to reap a benefit
from his ievn wrong
The Court. was of opinion, that delay, and not
the übtai oo il ig of the ends of justice, was the De-
fendant's object—and, therefore, refused the ap-
plicatioii.
Mr. SicsaLlTT mid, as that was their Lordships'
opinion, and as the case would occupy a great deal
of lime, he would agree to the Plaintiff's propo-
sition of going to trial in the Sittings after Term,
allowing the Plaintiff, if ruccessful, judgment as
of Term.
