The Papal Allocution on Poland.

ROME, MAY 1. •
The portion of the Pope's Allocution at the recent
Consistory relating to Poland is alleged to be as
follows :

"The blood of the weak and innocent cries aloud

before the throne of the Almighty for vengeance
upon those by whom it is shed. And do we not see
in our time innocent blood shed in a Catholic
country, in unfortunate Poland, where the same
Catholic faith for which the holy Fidelis gave His
life is so cruelly persecuted ? I did not intend to
speak upon this subjest before the next Consistory,
but I fear that if I keep silence longer I shall draw
down upon myself the punishment of Heaven with
which the prophets threaten those who permit in-
justice. Vac mai, guia tacui. My conscience coma
pets me to raise my voice against the powerful
Sovereign whose dominions extend to the Pole.
fherafore listen!

" This mighty Monarch, who also ventures to
style hie-..self Catholic, although he stands outside
the pale of our holy Church, forgets that the justice
of God will overtake him for his evil deeds. This
Monarch pursues the Polish nation with savage
cruelty. He has undertaken the impious work of
exterminating the Catholic religion in Poland, and
of introducing heresy into that country by force.
The priests of this Catholic nation are violently
torn from their flocks ; some are banished, others
condemned to forced labour or dishonourable
punishments. Happy are they who contrive to
escape, and at present wander about in foreign
lands without an asylum. The churches are dese-
crated and partially clised through the absence of
the priests. Finally, this presumptuous ruler has
assumed a power which the Vicegerent of Christ
does not even possess. After he has torn our much-
beloved son, the Archbishop of Warsaw, from his
diocese, banished him, and kept him in confinement,
he has dared to remove him from the office we had
entrusted to him.

If we express our indignation against such acts

it is not with the view to encourage European re-
volution. We are well able to draw a distinction
between a social revolution and the legitimate
rights of a nation fighting for its independence and
the welfare of religion, If we step forward against
the persecutors of the Catholic religion, we fulfil a
sacred duty of our conscience. And I have, there-
fore, communicated to you the mournful news I

have received from that unhappy country, for which
we will redouble our prayers. We declare that
we confer our Apostolic blessing upon all those
who this day pray for Poland. Let us all pray for
that country."
The New Bishop of reteitiOrough,

Yesterday the Very Rev, Francis Jeune, D.C.L.,
Dean of Lincoln,
accepted the Bishopric of Peter-
borough, which had been offered to him by Lord
Palmerston on Tuesday.
The Very Rev. Dr. Jeans is a Jersey man, and is
about
foundations at Pembroke, he took a first
class in classics in 1827, and of course was elected
the Jersey 6
soey years of age, Having entered on one of
fellow of his college, then a college of small repute.
For four yeas (1830-4) he earned a high reputation
as a college tutor, and was examiner in 1834, In
that year he was appointed head master of King
Edward's Scaool, Birmingham, and took his D.C.L.
degree. It is said that in this capacity he was
eminent. He Was removed from this post on his
his election in 1843 to the mastership of his college.
The master of Pembroke is ex officio canon of Glou-
cester, and the rev, canon and master presented
himself to the living of Taynton, worth about £450
a year.

Dr. Jeune owes probably his rapid elevation to
a deanery and a bishopric to his connection with
Oxford University Reform. He was a leading
L pioneer of Liberal opinions at a time

Naturally, in 1850, he was appointed
one of the commissioners to inquire into the state
of the University of Oxford. With him were asso-
ciated the leading Liberals of Oxford—the Bishop
of London (Tait), the Dean of Wells (Johnson), the
Dean of Christ Church (Liddell), Professor Baden
Powell, 8.7 e. Dr. Jeune was one of the most active,
energetic, members of the commis-
sion.

As head of his college Dr. Jeune earned a higher
reputation than he earned as an academical politi-
cian. He found Pembroke College unpopular; he
names on its books. Dr.
made it one of the best colleges in the university, so

ments to eminent public seboolmen, and by their
reputation raised the name of his college to a height
astonishing to any one who knew the Pembroke of
1840, He was always, it must be confessed, liberal
to poor students, and be was by no means a mars
tinet in point of discipline.
In 1859 he was appointed Vice-Chanoellor of
Oxford, and for the next three years he fulfilled
the arduous duties of that office with zeal and
energy. He was a very able man of business, and
on secular matters he was one of the most trust-
worthy authorities in the university. As a most
active member of all sorts of committees, as a uni-
versity official who did all be could to reconcile the
university and the city, Dr. Jeune deserves the
highest praise; and his graceful and dignified
treatment of the Prince of Wales, when an under-
graduate of Christ Church, has obtained a proper
recognition from that illustrious personage. To-
wards the close of last year Dr. Jeune was appointed
dean of Lincoln,-in the room of the lamented
Thomas Gamier. He voted against the increase of
Professor Jowett's salary (X4O) to the extreme
astonishment of his liberal pupils of more advanced
opinions, and he preached a sermon from the uni-
versity pulpit in which be administered a severe
and well-deserved castigation to his former friends.
He earned the highest praise for this sermon from
"Evangelical" newspapers, and incurred a vast
amount of unpopularity among the Liberals of Ox-
ford. The clergy of the diocese of Peterborough
are likely to find in him a thoroughly able ad-
ministrator of the affairs of the diocese,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Days

BAIL COURT.
JEWELL V. ASHCROFT.
Mr. M. Smith showed cause against a rule which had
been obtained by Mr. Hawkins, calling upon Messrs.
Walker and Crompton to show cause why they should not
be called upon to answer a certain statement contained in
affidavit, charging their clerk with having served
a certain paper which purported to be a copy
of a summons taken out in a certain cause,
when, in fact, such summons had not been taken out in the
ordinary way, or the fees paid.
The Court thought there was no intention to defraud.
although there had been great irregularity; and therefore
they (the learned counsel's clients) must pay the costs of
the present proceedings, and also a fine of £lO to her Ma-
jesty the Queen.

Mr. Smith at once assented to such a proposition.
Judgment accordingly.

EXCHEQUER COURT:
WILLIAMS V. JONES.
Mr. G iffard shewed cause against the rule which had
been obtained in the case by Mr. Gray, calling upon the
plaintiff to show cause why the verdict given in his favour
in the present cause being tried at the Brecon assizes should
not be set aside or entered for the defendant. The action
was brought to recover the value of a certain shed or
building which had been burnt down, it was alleged, through
the carelessness of the defendant's servant. The defen-
dant's man, it appeared, went to the plaintiff to ask the use
of a certain shed for a temporary purpose, and the plaintiff
at once accorded it. One night the erection was burned
down, the fire having, it was stated, been occasioned by the
defendant's man, he, defendant, being liable for the
damage. The defendant said the man had finished the
work for which he was engaged before ha left the premises
on the night of the fire, and therefore he was no longer in
their employ, and they were not liable for the rebuilding
of the shed.

The learned counsel went at great length into a variety
of cases to illustrate his argument, at the conclusion of
which

The Court deferred its judgment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBORO UGH- STREET.
EZTENSITE PLATE ROBBERY BY THE BUTLER TO
VISCOUNT TEMPL ETO UN. —John Archer, an elderly man,
butler and valet to Viscount Templetoun, of 27, George-

stealing a quantity of plate, of the value of £BO, the pro-
perty of George Frederick Upton Viscount Templetoun.
Mr. It. W. Lucas, solicitor, of 20, Great Marlborough-
etseet, prosecuted.
Mr. Lucas, in opening the case, stated that he appeared
on the part cf Viscount Templetoun to prosecute the pri-
soner, who had been some years in his service as valet and
butler, for stealing a quantity of plate. Mr. Lucas then
called

John Footit, footman to Viscount Templetoun,who said—.
I know the prisoner John Archer. He was valet and butler
and had charge of the plate. I saw it in his possession 12
months' ago, but he has had charge of it for the last five
years. I went with Inspector Draper yesterday to Mr.
Harrison's, pawnbroker, 95, Wardour-street, and there saw
some plate produced, and I identified it as some of Viscount
Templetoun's plate (a large quantity was here produced).
I then went with the inspector to another pawnbroker's,
Tomlinson and Richards, No. 11 and 12, Upper George-
street, Portman-square, and identified some plate. I then
went to Mr. Starling's, 68, Great Portland-street, another
pawnbroker, and there saw two silver spoons bearing the
initials of Viscount Templetoun.
Mr. Knox—Have you recovered all the missing property ?
Mr. Wood—We have.
Thos. Day, in the employ of Mr. Harrison, pawnbroker,
of Wardour-street, produced four duplicates renewed by the
prisoner on the Ist of last July, and also the property they
related to ; James Vincent, assistant to Mr. Tomlinson,
pownbroker, of Upper George-street, produced some dupli-
cates showing that the prisoner had pledged several articles
and renewed the duplicates ; and an assistant to Mr.
Starling proved some pledging, by the prisoner.
Mr. Wood—The total amount the articles were pledged
for was £62 14s.
Inspector Goo. Draper—l was called to 27, George-street,
Hanover-square, and told the prisoner he was charged with
stealing a quantity of plate, and Ithat I must take him to
the station. I then showed him the duplicates I now pro-
duce, and asked him how Viscount Templetoun became
possessed of them, The prisoner said "I gave them to one
of the servants to give to his lordship."
Prisoner—l have no questions to ask.
The depositions having been read over by Mr. Noakes, ,
the chief clerk,
The prisoner said—l have nothing to say to the charge.
He was then committed to the Central Criminal Court
for trial.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS NUMEROUS
ROBBERIES AT TAVERNS.—John Price, a tall, shabby-
looking man, who had under his arm a large cloak, was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a clock, of the value
of £2los, from the parlour of the Marlborough Head Tavern,
North Audley-street,
Thomas John Richards, a lad in the employ of Mr. John
Dawson, the landlord of the Marlborough Head, North
Audley-street, said that on the previous afternoon, while
cleaning the outside lamps, he saw the prisoner enter the
house and walked into the parlour. As the prisoner was
wearing a large cloak, and had been to the house once or
twice before that week and acted in rather a suspicious
manner, he was induced to watch him. Shortly after, the
prisoner came out of the house and was walking away,
when, thinking he would sea whether all was right in the
parlour, he stepped in, and at once missed the clock. He
then went in pursuit of the prisoner and caught him at the
corner of Princes-street and Oxford-street, when he noticed
he had something bulky under his cloak, so he stepped him
and gave him into custody, and the clock was found under
his arm.

Police-constable 121 D proved taking the prisoner into
custody, and stated that he refused his address. Several
clocks had been stolen lately from the parlours of taverns.
Mr Knox remanded the prisoner, to give the police an
opportunity of making inquiries.
ANNOYING A LICENSED VIOTLIALLER.—Thos. M'Nally,
described as a surveyor, of Water-street, Whitefriars, was
charged before Mr Knox wi, h assaulting and annoying Mr
Marshall, of the Romney Arms, Cleveland-street, Fitzroy-
square.
Mr Edward Lewis, Great Marlborough-street, appeared
for the complainant, and, in opening the case, said the de-
fendant was charged with assaulting and annoying Mr
Marshall.
From the evidence of Mr Marshall, it appeared that the
defendant went to his house the previous night, and made
use of very coarse language, and annoyed his customers.
Mr. Marshall, with the assistance of his barman and a
constable, 42 E, ejected him; in the struggle, the defen-
dant catching held of Mr Marshall by the arm and the
groin, the former was badly bruised. The defendant
was then taken to the station, and charged, and bailed out,
but shortly after he returned to the house and threatened
Mr Marshall. It further appeared that the defendant made
five or six attempts to strike Mr Marshall.
A person lamed Catchpole corroborated Mr Marshall in
many respects.
After hearing the defendant and a witness in his behalf,
Mr Knox ordered the defendant to enter into his recogni-
sance in the sum of X5O to keep the peace for six months.
