THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING,

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,
COVENT O.IRDEN.
1)r. SPOEER.
GRAND CONCERT.
The Dine:on hive the honour to announce that on MONDAY,
11y6, a GRAND CONCEEtI wi.l be given, consisting chiefly of
.-.8 Works of Dr. Louis Spohr. and under the direction of that emi-
r.int composer, who will preside in the Orchestra.
Full particulars will be duly announced.

originally a Dominican monk, and subsequently
a secular priest of the Church of Rome.
A person of considerable eloquence and ability, be
possessed that peculiar claim upon the sympathies of
English Protestants, that he had been twice a priso-
ner within the walls of the lequisition. He subse-
quently became a convert to Protestantism,
and, as is
generally the case, attacked the doctrines and disci-
pline of the church he had abandoned, with peculiar
energy and determination. Dr. NswMAN on the
other band, had been a Protestant clergyman. A
man of great learning
and ability, and one of the
Professors of the University of Oxford, he became the
most prominent leader of the Tractarians, and author
of the celebrated tract No. 90, that produced such ex-
traordinary results among the Puseyite party. Like Dr.
Acamnr, he abandoned the creed in which he had
been educated, and having formally professed the
doctrines of Roman Catholicism, was admitted as a
priest of that Church.
It is much to be regretted that the defendant per-
mitted his zeal to induce him to make the grave and
serious accusations against the character of the pro-
secutor, of the truth or accuracy whereof he could
have had no personal knowledge. The cause of true
religion can never be promoted by coarse invective or
virulent abuse of an opponent. How could con-
flicting doctrines be tested by the morality
or immorality of an individual ? If every
one of the issues taken by the defendant had been
clearly established, if the jury had decided that Dr.
ACHILLI had been guilty of all the matters laid to
his charge, how could it have advanced the
interests of any Christian church ? The open
and unblushing infidel, or the smooth tongued
hypocrite might exult publicly or privately
at the filthy and disgusting details brought
under the consideration of the Court, and
circulated throughout the entire country, but every
man of religious feeling, whether Protestant or
Roman Catholic, must regret the melancholy
exhibition, which, whatever might be the verdict,
could not benefit any cause, sect, or party.
Dr. NEWMAN was unquestionably the aggressor.
He deliberately made the charges which, with a vast
expenditure of time, labour, and money, he endea-
voured to sustain, but which the jury (with the
single exception of the 19th charge—that relating to
the judgment of the Inquisition, so far as it went)
declared not to have been proved. And yet, we have no
doubt that Dr. NEwMAN,when preferring these charges,
believed them to have been well founded, and that
he was not actuated by malice in the ordinary sense
of the term, that is to say, against the individual
ACHILLI ; but rather conceiving—erroneously con-
ceiving—that he was serving the creed he bad adopted
by exposing a seceder from its principles, and
doctrines. That he acted rashly and indiscreetly is
beyond question, but certainly the case is very dif-
ferent, so far as the motives of the defendant are con-
cerned, from the ordinary libels that occupy the atten-
tion of courts of justice.
Again, as we would not have considered it
any defeat of the Protestant party if Dr.
ACHILL' had been found guilty of the immorality laid
to his charge, we cannot look upon his acquittal as
any great cause of triumph to Protestants, or con-
fusion to Roman Catholics. There are good and bad
men in every sect, and converts have been influenced
occasionally by unworthy as well as by laudable
motives. A man may be mistaken. He may
abandon the better and purer faith on strictly
conscientious grounds, while he may seek it for very
different reasons. His character and conduct cannot
affect the doctrines of the church he has chosen, or
that which he has deserted, for good or evil. We,
therefore, earnestly hope that henceforward such
matters may be avoided, and that, if polemical dis-
putes cannot be eschewed, care may at least be taken
that they should not be suffered to infringe the just
limits of controversy, or trench upon the sacred do-
main of private character.

An ingenious argument, advanced in the course of
a masterly article in the Telegraph of the 23d inst.,
closes with the assertion that " from Lord DERBY
immeasurably more is expected than Lord Jolter at-
tempted "—reminding us of the impracticable policy
vaguely sketched out for themselves by the members
of the present Government. Upon the utter im-
practicability of that policy no two opinions can—by
a rational' man—for a single instant be entertained.
What the ex-PREMIER attempted he failed in, alto-
gether and sometimes ignominiously. Yet, what he
did not venture to attempt Lord DERBY is
expected to accomplish. Such, in reality, is
the difficult task devolving upon the Tory
PRIME MINISTER, and which it will be
perceived our contemporary has boldly indicated on
the very eve of the dissolution. No wonder (such
being the case) that the Cabinet has refrained as long
as was at all reasonable from explicitly declaring
their intentions as to any definitive system of
administration. No wonder Ministers have shrunk
instinctively from proclaiming the precise character of
the principles upon which they have determined to
carry on the business of the Government. The enor-
mity of the things required from them by their sup-
porters was sufficient, in all conscience, to deter
them, at least during a considerable interval, from
announcing their views to the population. Little by
little the truth has oozed out, however, already,
so that the electors of the United Kingdom can con-
jecture what still remains hidden, from the nature of
those piecemeal revelations. They can judge accord-
ing to the old classic phrase, ex pede Herculenz." Or
rather they can detect the peculiarity of the entire
policy accepted by Lord DERBY for the future guid-
ance of himself and his colleagues from the little
even now actually visible—as CUVIER was enabled,
from a solitary member or a single bone, to build up
in his imagination the whole framework of some
antediluvian monster—a mastodon or an ichthyosau-
rus. At this opportune moment the Telegraph asserts
plainly enough the character of the measures which
will be required from the existing Cabinet by its
upholders, in the event of their obtaining anything
like a working majority in the ensuing Parliament.
"From Lord DERBY immeasurably more is expected
than Lord JOHN attempted." Mere of what ? The
Legislative endeavours in which the ex-PREMIER was
defeated were very, peculiar. The reason of the de-
feat demonstrates this sufficiently. That reason was
nothing less than a recognition by the Tories that
the proposed changes went too far, and by the Li-
berals that they went Hot far enough. In proof
of this—look at Lord JOHN'S outline of Parliamentary
Reform introduced by him to the notice of the House
of Commons in February. It was discarded at once :
and why ? Because the advocates of Parliamentary
Reform saw, at a glance, that it was inadequate ;
and because the opponents of Parliamentary Reform
conceived at the same moment that it was dangerous
Por a considerable time past, no trial has excited as a concession to Democracy. In what direction

LONDON. FRIDAY. JUNE 25, last

are, however, incomparably the most flagrant of all
is that evidenced in the person of Sir HENRY WIN-
STON BARRON, the present Member for the city of
Waterford. In his case the Waterford Chronicle
remarks that "we have a man who has gone
round the whole circle of political opinions." And
certainly, looking to the record of his Parliamentary
career in rela'ion to his ancestral county, it must be
admitted that the fluctuation of aspect is not a jot
more remarkable in the chameleon. It must be ad-
mitted, indeed, that his latest change as a politician has
a certain degree of consistency in the very flagrancy
of its inconsistency. As our neighbours say, On
revient toujours aux premiers amours; and so it is
not so very marvellous that the candidate who aspired
(though vainly) to represent the city of Wa-
terford in 1831, under the immediate patronage of
the BERESFORDS, should now, in 1852, "return to the
place from whence he came," there to avow himself
in 1852 a devoted adherent of the Cabinet sup-
ported by the BERESFORDS ! True that in the same
year of grace 1831 Sir HENRY came forward again
(but this time as a candidate for the county
and not for the city of Waterford), declaring
himself an open antagonist of those same
BERESFORDS being compelled to retire from
the contest because the previous compact had
been rather inconveniently and inopportunely de-
tected ! True that in 1832, he was returned for the
city of Waterford by a majority of 570, as the col-
league of the Tory Mr. CHRISTMAS, having
consented to become a joint in the tail of
O'CONNELL, and having eonsequently pro-
claimed himself an enthusiastic Repealer !
True, that in 1834, he was again re-
turned for the same place by a majority of 561.
still as a Repealer, but having as his colleague Mr.
WYSE instead of the then defeated Mr. CHRISTMAS!
True that in 1837 he was there a third time
returned as a Repealer by a majority of
602, again with Mr. WYSE and having at this election
defeated that very Major BERESFORD who is now
Secretary-at-War ! True, moreover, that, still
calling himself a Liberal and a Repealer, he was de-
feated in 1841, in company with Mr. WYSE, having
yielded ground to the successful Conservative candi-
dates, Mr. READE and Mr. CHRISTMAS, who were
nevertheless compelled, in 1842, to yield their seats
on petition to the unsuccessful Liberal candidates!
True, that in 1847, continuing to term himself an ad-
vocate of repeal, and continuing to uphold liberal prin-
ciples, Sir HENRY BARRON was defeated by the more
liberal candidates, DANIEL O'CONNELL, the younger,
and Alderman THOMAS MEAGHER! "Last but not
least" of all in this extraordinary enumeration—
True that in 1848, on Mr. O'CoNNELL accepting the
Chiltern Hundreds, Sir HENRY came forward for the
eighth time on the hustings of the city of Waterford,
and was returned by a majority of 318 against
PATRICK COSTELLO, a Young Irelander, and against
THOMAS FRANCIS Manna, an Old Irelander,
having himself coolly thrown Repeal overboard
and avowing himself to be a devoted follower of the
Whig Government ! Yet now—a Beresfordite in
1831, an anti-Beresfordite in the same year, an
unqualified Repealer in 1832, a Repealer in 1835,
a Repealer in 1837, a Repealer in 1841, a
quasi-Repealer in 1847, an anti-Repealer, or, in
other words, a thorough going Whig in 1848, Sir
HENRY WINSTON BARRON comes forward in 1852
as what?—as a colleague of that very Mr. CHRIST-
MAS he defeated in 1835, and opposed in 1841—as a
rank Tory—as a resolute Protectionist—as a declared
and enthusiastic Derbyite I " Can such things be,
and overcome us "—certainly not " like a summer
cloud," but like something much more disagree-
able—" without our special wonder ? " Can
these political pirouettes be turned with im-
punity ? Can the electors of Waterford remain
indifferent to so much tergiversation and so
many and such flagrant recalcitrations ? Let
them vindicate their character for independence!
We say this because their character will at the next
general election he at stake. Their cry should be
that of HAMLET in the scene with his mother—
" A rat, a rat, cad for a ducat I" With decision
on their part decision prompted by indigna-
tion—they may then redeem themselves from
a position most anomalous, and, in some respects,
most disgraceful—and, by so doing, hold out to the
rest of the possessors of the franchise in the United
Kingdom an example worthy of imitation.

SALARIES TO COLONIAL BISHOPS.—On Wednesday
a return to Parliament was printed showing the salaries of
the Colo❑ial Bishops. The highest salary is 3,0001. a year,
and the lowest 550/. Some are paid out of the parliamentary
votes, others out of the Consolidated Fuud. In two cases
the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel contributes a
portion, and in another case the Church Missionary Society
has to pay 6CO/. a year towards the salary of the Bishop of
New Zealand.

THE BATTLE OF THE BEES.—A curious circum-
stance occurred a few days back at Guilleville, Eure• et-
Loire. A small farmer had in a field about 250 beehives,
containing a vast number of bees. He sent a man with a
cart, drawn by five horses, to remove some earth from a wall
near which the hives were placed. The carter having
occasion to go to the farm house, tied the horses to a tree.
Almost immediately after a multitude of bees, either irri-
tated at the shaking of their hives by the removal of the
earth from the wall, or excited by the electricity with
which the atmosphere happened to be charged, issued from
their hives, as if in obedience to a given signal, and with
great fury attacked the horses. In an instant the poor ani-
mals were enrirely covered with bees from head to foot ;
even their nostrils were filled with them. When the carter
returned he found one of the horses lying dead on the
ground, and the others rolling about furiously. His cries
attracted several persons; one of them attempted to drive
away the bees, but they attacked him, and he had to plunge
into a pond, and even to place his head under water for a
few seconds, in order to escape from them. The cure of
Guillevi:le also attempted to approach the horses, but he
too was put to flight by the enraged insects. At length
two fire engines were sent for, and by pumping on the bees
a great number were killed on the horses, or put to flight.
The horses, however, were so much injured that they died in
an hour. The value of the bees destroyed was 1,500 f., and
of the horses 2,504. A few days before bees from the same
hives killed 17 goslings.

A PRESENT FROM THE "DIGGINGS."—A poor but
respectable tradesman in Gloucester, whose brother emi-
grated to Australia a few years ago, has received from him a
very agreeable token of fraternal regard in the shape of a
lump of gold. A letter which accompanied the
present stated that the brother had made his
way to the diggings, and had there picked up, among other
similar " trifles," the enclosed lump, which he begged his
brother to accept, and use its value in making the necessary
preparations for transferring himself and his whole family to
the great golden land of the south. The lump thus' sent
has sold for not less than 400/. Enabled by this princely
gift, the Gloucester tradesman is about to join his brother,
and has taken steps to dispose of his business.—Exeter
Gazette.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

UTILITY OF BATHING.—The habitual use of the
bath was found so beneficial by the Greeks and Romans, and
is now in such constant use in France and other neighbour-
..

ing countries, enjoying a climate similar to our own, that it
is surprising that so few English women, of whatever grade
of society, have recourse to bathing, except some, perhaps,
for a few weeks of the year at the seaside. The practice of
bathing is not only to be advocated on the plea of cleanli-
ness, and facilitating the removal of secretion from the body,
but it bas a direct sedative influence on the nervous system;
it seems to absorb that morbid irritability arising from an un-
due development of the mind at the expense of the body, and
leaves a feeling of comfort and repose not wholly attribut-
able to the consciousness of being clean. The bath should
be used at least every week by those who are at the change
of life, and more frequently by those who suffer mach from
profuse perspiration. The water should be sufficiently warm
to impart a grateful sensation, from 94 to 98 degrees, the
patient remaining in half an hour, and the head can be
sponged with cold water if the first impression of the bath
is to cause headache. Dr. Tilt on the Health of Women.

THE M,,OlV.—Sportsmen will be glad to bear that
there is a fair prospect of the ensuing season being a first-
rate one for the moors. We have a number o'lreports, every
one favourable, concerning the condition of grouse, since the
young birds were hatched; and every person who has been
on the hills states that there is not a trace of disease among
the old birds nor among the young broods, which are now
considered safe from all casualties of weather. They gene-
rally count eight or ten from each nest, and are already so
strong as to be taking short flights under the guidance of
the old hens. Several of the larger shootings are taken, and
from inquiries now going on it is likely that moat places will
find tenants in the course of a month.—lnverness Courier.
PEDESTRIANISM.— 368 MILES IN SI% DAYS.--At

times on Friday and Saturday considerable excitement was
visible in High-street, caused by great numbers of persons
asse?nbling to witness the progre,s through the town of J.
Tapp, to whom we last week alluded, and who succeeded in
accompli-king his arduous undertaking. On both Friday
and Saturday he was accompanied by some friends over a
great :part of his route, and on leaving Poole in the evening
of the latter day, when he had only ten miles to complete
his task, some admiring friends presented him with a hand-
some purple wish, on which were em.ilszoned in gold letters,
the words " The Conquering Hero." We understand he has
now pretty w€ll recovered from the fatigues of the week.—

ffiE CORSICAN BROTHERS.—The Court of Assizes
of Corsica, tried a tew days ago, a young man named Franchi
for manslaughter. On the Ist January last, a fête took
place at Montemaggiore, and the persons assembled
amused themselves with discharging firearms and
drinking. A squabble arose, between two brothers
named Fornelli, and a man named Poretti interfered
in it. The mother of the latter went to fetch him away,
but the accused, who was his cousin, pushed her rudely
aside. and, seizing him by the collar, said he should not go.
A struggle ensued, and both fell. As they were rising a
pistol, which Fornelli held in his hand, went off, and the ball
lodged in Poretti's breast. Death almost immediately en-
sued. The prisoner, though flushed with drink, seemed over-
whelmed with terror at view of the corpse, but atter a while,
he hurried away. The next day, however, he gave himself
up to justice. The jury declared him guilty, and the Court
ondeumad him to five years' imprisonment.

funds)a long discussion took place, but it was ulti-
mately

to. The discussion of chapters 8 and 9, relative to

shed. It shows that the annual
revenue of France is below the expenditure no less a
sum than 130 millions of francs at the least. The
budget is divided into two beads, called the treasury
service and the budgetary service. The treasury ser-
vice is only of a temporary character, consisting of
the communes, receivers-
general, syas lodged by
savings-banks, Ville de Paris, with the
the whole amounting at present to
Treasury bills, and the sums due by certain railway
companies,
693,000,000 f., leaving a deficiency of no sufficient
amount to be dangerous, if considered merely provi-
sional. It is the budgetary service, of which the cha-

cc
that the Committee had made
the proposition, rejected by the Council of State, for
cutting down demands for the embellishment of public
buildings, Sm. The report next proceeds to show
that the public revenue is derived from two sources—
direct and indirect. The former levied on lands and
houses, the latter from miscellaneous imposts. It is a
curious fact that while the indirect taxes have been
steadily augmenting, so as to give greater returns
now by 432,000,000 t. than they did thirty years ago,
the land-tax has remained stationary. The contribu-
tion fonciere, as it is called, wbich in 1817 returned
257,895,0251., gives a only to-day 258,239,8241., and
that not withstandin—
is the removal of some particular
charges. To expect increased taxation from the land
the reporter holds to be out of the question. With
the indirect taxes it is different, for according as
population increases and industry extends a steady
increase may be looked for in this branch of revenue
quite sufficient to meet the wants of the State, if only
kept within due bounds.
We read the following in Galignani :
Since the
.. , alterations in the law on the press, the
jeading articles of the Paris journals have necessarily
been more subdued in tone, and those persons who were
in the habit Of seeking excitement for the day in the
columns of the morning journals must have experienced
a sort of void in their existence. To readers of this
class the restraints on the public press must have ap
peered almost unjustifiable; but the new law has parti-
sans as well a, adversaries, for temperance in mental
matters may be
as important for the general conduct of
society as abstinence from exciting drinks is essential for
the health of the body. Notwithstanding the new law,
however, We have occasionally had articles in the Paris
journals of sufficien.,
Ispirit to lead to a conviction that
the Government was desirous of correcting not the free-
dom but the licentiousness of political writers, for hi-
therto no man has been prosecuted for expressing him-
self freely, if
he did so with propriety."
M. CABE; chief of the Icarian Socialists, has

provisional station. He states, also, that the Icarians
at Nauvoo have resolved to demand naturalization as

law recently passed by Congress, granting 150 acres
of land to every chief of a family born or naturalized
an American.
A letter from Boulogne, dated yesterday, states

Its object is to render valid the signatures to wills where the
same are not placed above the disposition or direction as to
any property. Until the law was altered, the position of a
signature was very material, and a good deal of litigation has
been caused by
the instrument. The Act, which is the result of a measure
it not being placed in a particular manner on
brought forward by the Lord Chancellor, is to extend to
certain wills already made, where administration has not been
granted or ordered on account of the defective execution of
such will',
