HER MAJESTY,

The Prince and Princess of Wales.

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, i❑ unfortunate Poland, where the same
Catholic faith for which the holy Fidelis gave His
life is so cruelly perse-cuted ? I did not intend to
speak upon this subject 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 mild, quia tacui. A7y conscience con
pels me to raise my voice against the powerful
Sovereign whose dominions extend to the Pole.
fhtrafore lister !

" This mighty Monarch, who also ventures to
style hitrself 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."

Rev. Dr. Jenne is a Jersey man, and is

yryfoundations at Pembroke, he took a first
class in classics in 1827, and of course was elected
fellow of his college, then a college of small repute.
For four years (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 Sc'ilool, 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 hih
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. Jenne owes probably his rapid elevation to
a deanery and a bishopric to his connection with

Dean of Christ Church (Liddell), Professor Baden
Powell,
and persevering members of the commis-
sion. How it ended we all know. Dissenters are

that public schtolmen of the highest reputation
were induced to put their names on its books. Dr.
Jenne reduced the expenses of the undergraduates,
o
gave them more accommodation, offered induce-
ments to eminent public schoolmen, 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 he was by no means a mar.
tine in point of discipline.
In 1859 he was appointed Vice-Chancellor 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, es a uni-
versity official who did all he could to reconcile the
university and the city, Dr. Jenne 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. Jenne was appointed
dean of Lincoln,'ia 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 he 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 Day.

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 c4,3'
of a summons taken out in a certain cause,
when, iu 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 flue 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. Giffard showed 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 he 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
z
The Court deferred its judgment.
