allegations were proved, they would not bo sufficient to
deprive the Bishop of his power to revoke the licence.
He must, therefore, reject the allegation.
Mr. GLADSTONE would venture to protest against the
decision, which he believed was opposed both to law and
equity. He would appeal, therefore, to her Majesty in
Council.—(Loud cheers.)
Dr. BATFORD submitted that, as this was a proceed-
ing under the Church Di,cipline Act, Mr. Gladstone
could not apical without th. 3 sanction of the C ,urtoand

England, and had
retired for • security into the arms of dissent. That was
not what he (Mr. Gladstone) bad done. He was no
schismatic. Let the Church of England become Popish,
end he would be a schismatic the next day, but so long
as she retained her principles which were her glory and
strength, so long-no power on earth should willingly on
his part put him from her ministry. He was in holy
orders, and, God enabling him, so he would continue.
In '• Smith v. Lovegrove," and "Freeland v. Neale," no
license had been granted; these cases, tbarefore, had no
application to the present. The nearest case to the
present was " Hodgson v. Dillon," but he pro-
tested against his name being coupled with that of
Dr. Dillon. He bad already sustained some in-
jury from the association. He (Mr. Gladstone) was
condemned without having committed a crime, and was
sentenced not to preach the gospel, not only without a
reason being given, but, as acknowledged by the counsel
of him who now prosecuted and persecuted hire' without
having in any degree failed in his duty. If he bad been
a rector or a vicar, instead of a curate, the same ma-
chinery would have been put in motion against him. If
the decision in " Hodgson v. Dillon " was held to be
binding in the present case, he must submit to it; but
he contended that that judgment was founded on a fal-
lacy. No one had ever yet been able to point out the
law which justified the Bishop':in revoking his licence.
In the case of " Hodgson v. Oakeley," the Bishop had
dealt very tenderly, and thought it necessary to proceed
with great regularity. The Rev. Gentleman then read
the promises made by a bishop at his consecration,
and contended that the Bishop of London had failed
to fulfil them, by not driving away erroneous doc-
trine. Had he (Mr. Gladstone) been a deeply
dyad malignant offender, guilty of the blackest
crimes, the Bishop could not have visited him with
more summary eternal ruin. For seven years he had
worked hard, and given himself with unremitting care
and diligence to the study of God's word. He had never
received anything but a scanty pittance, and now, by the
sentence of the Bishop, he was driven to unlimited beg-
gary and ruin from the highest position which a man
could occupy. For he affirmed that he would not give
up the blessed privilege of preaching the gospel to sin-
ners for all the crowns in the world if their glory could
be fused into one. The Rev. Gentlemen then cited the
three articles inserted in the 36th
_.Canon, and the 1i 26
Article, and maintained that the Bishop had violated
them by adopting the proceedings , he had taken against
him. He believed that the question
rests of the whole nation. _ Toofirst of these three arti-

governor Of this realm; but he
believed that there was
at this moment a deeply ramified con: piracy going on
against the supremacy of her Majesty.
The Learned JUDGE inquired *sq..

was now before him?
Mr. GLADSTONE thought it was connected with the
present subject.

the case of " Hodgson v. Oakeley, ' the Bishop had not
merely revoked the licence, but there was a serious charge
made against that gentleman of maintaining Roman
Catholic doctrines, and the sentence of the Court was
founded upon it. The fourth article pleaded the prohi-
bition, and Mr. Gladstone contended that it was not a
godly but an ungodly monition which he had received,
The Rev. Gentleman, however, by the ordination sere
vice, was bound to obey the lawful commands of his
diocesan, ar,dlthe question again would be whether he had
received a lawful command or not. When that Service
was framed there were no proprietary chapels, and no
person could be incumbent of any place without the li-

could not be revoked without good cause being shown.
The law bearing on the question had been settled in such
a way that he (Sir John Dodson) waanot at liberty to
overrule the decisions which had taken place. er

The Noble CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the bu-
siness of the meeting, letters of apology were read from
Earl Fitz williara, Colonel Angerstein, Lord Beaumont,
and other gentlemen.
W. L. BIRKBECS, Esq., the Honorary Secretary, read
the report of the committee for the past year, of which
the following is an abstract:—
The report commenced by expressing satisfaction at
ythtehemmost
vitality and vigour evinced by the association, under
somewhat discouraging. circumstances, and when one-
and-twenty years had elapsed since Poland was deprived
of
solemnthe fragmentre
atl s justice, stipulated b

nity, and the policy of England, have, through the t

ex-
ertions of this society, never been allowed to sink en-
tirely into oblivioa, and the sufferings of her children,
driven to seek a refuge among us by the tyranny of her
oppressors, have never been permitted to remain wholly
unmitigated by sympathy or succour. The sword of the
late General Bern, lying on the table, was noticed as
one of the precious relics of Polish heroes. The report
then referred to the extraordinary genius dis-
played by the sons of Poland, notwithstanding
the obstacles in their way, and it was peculiarly re-
marked, that of the six refugees who exhibited, five re-
ceived prize medals. In reference to the oppressors of
Poland, the report said that Prussia had made further
attempts to denationalise the Grand Duchy of Posen.
Her Puttkammer, formerly a chief of police, a German,
of little education and unworthy manner, previously dis-
tinguished for his democratic and anti-monarchical prin-
ciples, whose only recommendation to the Government
consisted in hostility to the Poles, author of a pamphlet
entitled Finis Poloniae, was last year appointed Presi-
dent of the Duchy of Posen. On the 7th of September
he opened, in violation of the Prussian constitution, the
provincial diet, and declared that they mast impart to
their councils a character of pure and genuine Prussian
patriotism, that first and highest of national ideas, to
which all others must be subordinate, if they would not
forfeit their claim to recognition. On a subsequent day
Prince Sulkoweki, in a most dignified and patriotic man-
ner, moderately, but firmly, protested against the doc-
trine laid down by the President and against the revolu-
tionary system of changing nationalities by an arbi-
trary decree. Her Puttkammer, in accordance with his
opening speech, has suppressed the only remaining Polish
newspaper, and closed the only source from which books
could be obtained. Among the members of bureaubracy
are always to be found the most violent revolutionists,
men who are equally ready to destroy the institution of
property, the distinction of rank, and the privilege of
birth. The Polish landed proprietors of Posen, and of
other parts of ancient Poland, struggle, with fortitude
and judgment, against the difficulties of their position,
and devote themselves, as far as they are permitted, to
improving their estates, and ameliorating the condition
of the peasantry. Their efforts, in spite of adverse in-
fluences, have been crowrsed with no inconsiderable suc-
cess. The report expressed much gratitude for assist-
ance in recruiting the funds of the association from dif-
ferent parties, for enabling refugees to go to America,
and for the much required purposes of relief in sickness
and absolute destitution. The conduct of the Poles has,

England is about 820. Of these 200 receive assistance
from the British Government. 16t) refugees left the
country, of whom 92 proceeded to America, and 13
were removed by death. There is an increase of 60
refugees over the number of last year, and during the
year there were nearly 1,000 refugees in England. The
report concluded with an energetic appeal to Europe in
general, and England in particular, on the policy and
necessity of preserving inviolate and sacred the rights of
individuals and of nations.
The Rev. Dr. WORTHINGTON moved the adoption of
the report in an able address.
W. PRITCHARD, Esq., the High Sheriff of Southwark,
seconded the adoption of the report, and it was carried
unanimously.
The Earl of HARRINGTON moved the second resolu-
tion—" That this Association has observed, with satis-
faction and pride, the determination of public men of
all parties, as evinced recently in the debates of both
Houses of Parliament, in the discussion made by
Lord Beaumont on the sth, and Mr. Monckton
Milnes on the Ist of April last, regardless of
the remonstrances of foreign despots, to con-
tinue to extend to political refugees that protection and
hospitality which it has long been the boast and the
glory of this Country to afford to all persons requiring
them. And this Association tenders to Lord Beaumont
and Mr. Monckton Milnes its best thanks for the service
rendered to their country and to humanity, by their
opportune motions, and by the judicious and able manner
in which they were brought forward."
WYNN ELLIS, Esq., seconded this resolution, and it
was also carried nem. con.
R. MONCKTON MILNES, Esq., moved the third resolu-
tion, of thanks to the Corporation of London, for the
grant of the Guildhall for the Concert and Ball in aid of
the Polish and Hungarian Refugees. The Hon. Gentle-
man expressed his satisfaction at the general feeling of
sympathy which pervaded all parties in the country,
whether in the Houses of Parliament or out of it; and
his earnest hope that the day might not be distant when
the nationality of Poland would be revived.
Mr. PINNEY, M.P., seconded this resolution, and it
was carried unanimously; as were also resolutions
moved by Mr. Weio.cox, M.P., the Hon. Fox STRANG..
WAYS, and Mr. ,MOWATT, M.P., seconded by Mr.
STEWART, thanking the professional ladies and gentle-
men at concerts at Guildhall and other places, on behalf
of the association.-
EDMUND BEALES, Esq., moved the next resolution:—
" That the Right Hon. Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart,
M.P., be re-elected president of the association for the
ensuitig year."
T. C. BANFIELD, Esq., seconded this resolution, which
was carried unanimously amidst loud applause.
Lord DUDLEY STUART, in returning thankveremarked
that although at times be had much feared the benevos
close for want' of funds to alleviate the distresses of the
lent objects of that association would be brought to s
poor unfortunate Poles who have been driven from their
country into exile, still it was now twenty years since
they first assembled in that room to carry out so noble
and benevolent an object.—(Hear, hear.) It was oneh.
gratifying fact to him (the Noble Lord) that look will
ever way he would, there was no small amount of. t_enne tof sympathy in England for Poland. It was still, how
ever, to be regretted that those despotio powersnd the

This Institution was originally established under a different title
in the year .839, on the plan of admitting the fraured to participate
in four-fifths only of the profits ; but the Society has since been re-
modeled so as to become a strictly " Mutual Association."
The whole of the funds and property belong to, and are accumu-
lated for the exclusive benefit of the assured.
Tae profits are divided minuet. among the policy-holders, and
applied in reduction of the current year's premium ; thus constitut-
ing, in effect, an immediate cash payment to the assured.
Half-credit policies are granted on terms unusually favonrable to
the holders, the amount for which credit is given being gradually li-
quidated out of the profits.
Two Tables of Rates have been computed ; one entitling the as-
sun d to participate In the profits after pa: meat of five annual pre-

boar, and combated the idea of some, that they were
likely to lose their patriotism, and to be too far off to
take a part on behalf of their country, in the event of
a chance cccarring, by emigrating to America. They
must be poor patriots indeed who would thus lose their
patriotism. America would open a field of labour, and
in the event of a chance they would have the moans of
ree,ching their country to take up the sword in her do •
fence. Iu the course of his remarks, the Noble Lord
stated that the Polish visitors to the Exhibition last
year hal subscribed 8001, towards the wants of their
fellow-countrymen, and there had been forwarded for
their support, in Paris and other places, no less than
7,0001. The Noble Lord resuar,d his seat amidst loud
applause.

Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, M.P., moved the next re-
soluti,;n, " That the following Noblemen he elected
vica•presidents for the ensuing fear:—His Grace the
Duke of Sutherland, the Most Noble the Marquis of
Breaialbane, the Right lion. the Earl of Scarborough,
the Right Hon. the Earl of ilerrowby, the Right lion.
the Earl of Harrington, the Right Hon. the Earl Fitz-
william, the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury, the
Right Hon. the Earl Forte:cue."
THOMSON HANKEY, jun., Esq.. Governor of the Bank
of Englsnd, seconded the resolution, which was also car-
ried unanimously.

The members of the council fir the ensuing year
were then elected, and a vote of thanks having been, on
Ehe motion of the Chevalier WIERCINSKI, seconded by
pieUt. CHARLES SCZULCZEWSKI, carried to W. Lloyd
Birkbeck, EN., the: hon. secretary, that gentleman re-
sponded, and a similar compliment having been paid to
the Noble Chairman, the proceedings terminated.

THE FRENCH .REPUBLIC.

._.We•have received the Paq*liiiiitrovyasittaily:
Several of them bestow expressions of admiration
on the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the
tact, eloquence, and ability manifested in his finan-
cial statement.

M. LEBEAU, member of the Council General of the
Pas de Calais, has refused to take the oaths to the
PRESIDENT of the Republic.
The Pays has a long article, under the head of
"peace or war," which, under the appearance of dis-
cussing a general question, really points to the one
inquiry, whether France, declaring herself an empire
under Louis NAPOLEON, would thereby provoke the
powers of Europe, parties to the treaties of 1815, to
make war ? The Pays concludes that so long as
France does not menace any other country she may
do as she pleases at home, and that she will not
menace or invade her neighbours is confidently
assumed by the writer, who affirms that it is the am-
bitiOn of Louis NAPOLEON to merit the title of the
NAPOLEON of Peace. The article, nevertheless, is one
calculated to prepare the public mind for another
change in the form of government.
The Siècle takes up the question of the Orleans
property for the purpose of protesting against the
threatened absorption by the State of the judicial
powers. This paper professes not to feel any inte-
rest for the Orleans family, but looks to the matter
with reference solely to the principle involved. It
argues that if the State may in this instance take a
disputed question out of the hands of the ordinary
tribunals, and make itself judge and jury through the
interference of the Council of State, it will to-
morrow or next day take libels charged against the
press from the jury, and suppress the offending jour-
nal. In fact, it says, there is no telling to what
lengths such an encroachment by the State on the
judicial power may not be pushed, and it therefore
♦iews with alarm the step that has been taken on the
subiect of the Orleans property.
We read in the Debats on the subject of America
and Japan—
" The English and the Americans are not simply con-
querors; they are the missionaries of civilization, of
humanity, of the right of nations, or, in a word, of
Christianity. At the bottom, it is still and always was
the struggle of the old and the new world, of old reli-
gions and the Christian religion. The Chinese and the
Japanese will not recogniz3 the rest of the human race;
foreigners are regarded by them as barbarians and
enemies; they close their gates against them and mur-
der them whenever storms drive them on their coasts:
it is the principle of the Jews who would not recognize
the Gentiles; it is that of the Pagans, who designated
foreigners and enemies by the same name. On the
other side is the principle, which says that all men are
the children of one family, and owe each other mutual

assistance; that no nation can shut its doors to
the shipwrecked, or refuse them assistance; that
hospitality is a duty, as asylum is a right; that no nation
has a right to isolate itself from general society and
common responsibility; that all have duties to fulfil one
towards another, which all may mutually claim and de-
macd the accomplishment of. This is the Christian prin-
ciple, the principle of charity, fraternily, and sociability.
This is tho real struggle that exists— in the old Asiatic
world; it is the struggts of progress against immobility,
of the spirit against-the letter, of grace against the law.
How can tho iesue of it be doubtful? What is now
doing by the Americans is the realisation of the dream
of Christopher Columbus."
A Bill on public education, which is at present be-
fore the Council of State,_is shortly to be presented

to the Corps Legislatif. The following are the heads
of this Bill :—France is to possess fifteen academies,
viz.—at Aix, Besancon, Bordeaux, Caen, Clermont,
Dijon, Grenoble, 'Lille, Lyon, Montpelier, Paris,
Poitiers, Rennes, Strasburg, and Toulouse. The
number of rectors is to be limited to one for
each academy. Each department is to have an
inspector placed under the direction of the rector.
Each rector is to he assisted by an academic
council, over which he shall preside. The council
will be composed of departmental inspectors, deans of
faculty, and of the clergy, of the municipal and legal
authorities, and the Council General. Independently
of the Academic Council there is to be a Council
established in each department, which will be composed
of the Prefect, the Bishop, an ecclesiastic, a member of
the non-Catholic Consistories, of Inspectors of the
Academy, of two Members of Public Instruction, and
of two members of the Council General. There is to
be no change made in the mode of primary instruc-
tion. The masters are to receive the yearly salary of
400 f. in towns where the population is less than 1,000
souls; 600 f. where the population is above 1,000 and
not exceeding 3,000; and 800 f. where the population
is above 3,000. A previous permission is necessary
for the opening of secondary schools. Numerous
changes are to be made in the establishment of Se.
condary Instruction. No candidate can receive
the rank of Bachelor of Letters or Bachelor of
Sciences until he shall have attained the age of 18

years.
Tho Bourse was dull, which was accounted for by a
statement currently reported that the Emperor of Russia
had given orders to sell his French rentes, and that the
operation bad been commenced. The Five per Cents.
