do but lug poor JONES into the Ecclesiastical
Court for not providing the necessary bread and
wine ! Now it is set down, if we are not mis-
taken, in the Rubric, that it is as much the duty of
the parson as of the Churchwardens, or the joint duty
of both, to furnish these things. But EBENEZER
did not feel any motion of the Spirit to commence
legal proceedings against the offending minister
of Llanon ; and by some singular accident it also
happened that he omitted to direct the terrors of the
Spiritual Court against the squire, the colleague
of DA VID JONES, who, if any blame rested with
the Churchwardens, was of course fully entitled to his
share. JONES, however, was a poor man, a Dis-
senter, and a Unitarian ; his colleague rich, a
Churchman, and orthodox. That makes all the
difference in the world in clerical estimation of con-
duct, and in clerical dispensation of justice.
JONErS, in short, was made the scape-goat, and our
pious friend EBENEZER, never rested until, with
the assistance of a brother Ecclesiastic, a twin
spirit, who combines the editorship of the Carmar-
then Journal, a rabid Tory newspaper, with the
office of Surrogate of the Bishop's Court, he got
his victim lodged in Carmarthen Gaol. In this
gaol, let it not be forgotton, was then lying Jou N
JA NIES, Churchwarden of Llanelly, the other pa-
rish which rejoiceth in the spiritual superintendence
of EBENEZER MORRIS, who had taken offence at
JA m Es, first, for certain political actions deemed
liberal, and secondly, for not duly attending upon
the Sunday ministrations of him, the said 'Molar's,
by which neglect he had, as Churchwarden,
though a Dissenter, rendered himself amenable to
the Spiritual Court.
DAVID JONES, being advised that the
Surrogate, whether from ignorangc of his du-
ties—which is not • unlikely, as the Welsh
clergy are, with few exceptions, the most ig-
norant men, perhaps, in the kingdom—or
from other motives even less creditable, which we
shall not specify, had strained the law against him
by assuming an authority to which he had no claim,
commenced proceedings in the Queen's Bench, the
result of which, it will be seen by the report in ano-
ther part of our paper, is, that he has been found to
have been illegally imprisoned for six months, and
that he has a valid ground of action for damages
against his prosecutors—persecutors they ought
rather to be called. We perceive that Lord DEN-
MAN wished the matter to be compromised in a
way which we should think hardly fair to this much
injured man. His Lordship proposed to give
JONES the costs of his application to the Court,
if he would agree not to bring any action. Why
should he make such an agreement ? Is a man to
be deprived of his liberty by the arbitrary and in-
formal proceedings of such men as this Ecclesias-
tical underling—is he to lie, month after month, in
prison, to the injury of his health, and, perhaps, the
ruin of his affairs, and after all have no redress for
so grievous a wrong ? The supposition is mon-
strous. "We trust he will resist all attempts to
compromise the matter, and rest satisfied with no•
thing short of the verdict of a British Jury.

Amongst the useful institutions of the metropolis
the Lock. Hospital has long held a foremost plaCe.
We see, by an advertisement in another part of The
Sun that this valuable charity is at present ex-
posed to some peculiar expenses, and which the
charitable and humane will willingly contribute to
enable it meet. The particulars arc made known
in the advertisement, to which we solicit attention.

By the arrival of the packet-ship George Wash-
ngton, at Liverpool, yesterday morning, in sixteen
days from New York, we have received American
papers of the 7th instant inclusive. • Being but one
day later than the journals received yesterday they
add little to the stock of news already published
respecting the state of affairs in South and British
America. From the Ist of April to the 11th of
May 11,81:i passengers arrived in New York front
foreign ports. Of these 7,702 were from Liverpool
alone. The number of vessels which arrived Within
the same period. wa5..350.. _
Rumours of the rather sudden disappearance of a
Canadian functionary of military as well as civil
rank, had reached the United States, but as they
seem questionable, we suppress the particulars.
The gentleman's absence would have excited no at-
tention, but that in the hurry of his departure, he
forgot to leave behind him certain sums of money
which ought to have found their way into the
public treasury. The American journals treat such
mistakes with much facetiousness, observing that
there is no power of the mind more deceptive than
the memory, and that a man who in his hurry mis-
takes the night for the day, and forgets to take
leave of his old neighbours and friends, cannot be
expected to remember his transactions with the
various individuals who may happen to have claims
upon the contents of his pocket-book.
The most friendly relations are in the course of
being established between the United States and
Mexico. France is forming a friendly alliance with
Texas, with the ultimate view, as is supposed, of
obtaining a colonial settlement in that quarter of
the world.

A moderate business only has been transacted in foreign
exchange fur the packet ship leaving for Liverpool to-mor-
row, and without any material change on the previous rates.
S.terling bills have ruled at 91, per cent, premium, at which
rate the United States' Bank is drawing; and on France,
sf. 15c. is obtained; no sales of moment have been made
on other places.
The Cotton-market still continues to labour under the
depression caused by the Great Western's advicee, though
to-day there was some trifling revival of demand, and about
400 bales were sold, partly for shipment, at which prices
about 13- cent. under the rates current previous to the re-

LLOYDS' SHIPPING-(TIIIS DAY•

Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 16th
inst. have been received. They state that on the
10th a partial engagement, or rather a skirmish,
took place between the troops commanded by
General A vEaBE, and the Carlists under CA-
BRERA, near Alontalvan, in which the rebels were
repulsed with inconsiderable loss, though with the
advantages of ground and numbers in their favour.
A report prevailed that the important fortress of
iVlonresa, in Catalonia, had been captured by the
Carlists, but it was not traced to any authentic
source. In the capital the only topic of interest
discussed was the forthcoming elections, which were
expected to be very favourable to the ultra-liberal
party :
The Madrid paper, El Meiisagcro, of the 14th, publishes
the following letter, intercepted from the Carlists:—

received your letter, the King has be 'n pleased to act on
your recommendation, and has appointed BrigecUers For-
cadell and Llangostera to the dignity of Field Marshal.
Unfortunately we cannot boast of the same triumphs as
your Excellency ; but luckily Espartero is not iwarc c f
the infamous intrigue which has reduced us to our present
state. Our forces diminished to twelve battalions—
twelve or fifteen cannons being lost by the fault of the
unfortunate Guergue, and Balmaseda having tiken our
horses—this, together with the disorganization of the army,
is the cause of our having been compelled to repair our
losses only. On the other hand, Espartero pres,es us
closely.

" \-`e are deeply interested in your movements at
Cuenca and elsewhere ; for, notwithstanding Espartero's
habitual indolence, as long as he is obliged to watch your
motions he cannot interfere with us. It would be very
important if you could contrive to arm all your men. Per-
haps it would be possible to have arms made for the men
who are coming in to ask for them. I entreat your Ex-
cellency to pay attention to this subject. General Alaroto
has written to the King, expressing his desire that bar.
rnony should reign in the army, and entreating that par-
don may be granted to B.2!maseda, in order that if a'l
were on good terms we might co of crate more ( ff.‘ctually
for the legitimate cause. As I perfectly concur in this
opinion, I must request your Excellency will inform 13a1-
maseda of what has been going on, for I do not know
where he is at the present moment. I count on your zeal
and friendship in this affair, and pray God to grant you a
a number of years. .

The defeat of the French Cabinet on two occasions
last week in the Chamber of Deputies has led to a re-
newal of the old gossip about a change of Ministry in
France. Though such an event must take place, we
regard as too distant fur immediate discussion. The
SOULT Cabinet is composed of men more tenacious of
the sweets of office than of political principles, or even,
in some cases, of personal character, and therefore
they will cling to their places as long as it is possible
for them to hold them. The Army Staff Bill limit-
ing the power of the Crown to create more
than six Marshals of France was carried against
them on Saturday by a majority of 183 votes, but not
a word was uttered by Souvr and his friends about
resigning. Their previous defeat in the course of the
week has already been noticed in our columns. It is,
however, barely possible. that before the close of the
Session, MIER'S or GUI.ZOT, or perhaps both these
gentlemen way take office in conjunction with at least
five members of the present Ministry. The Constiln-
tionnel, M. Timins. organ, hints as much in an article
which is made the subject of some curious comments
in the Siecle;Cand Courrier Francais of Sun-
day. In fact, French patriotism has degenerated on
the part of leaders of the Coalition, into a mere squab-
ble for place. Principles, character, all that is valuable
to nations in the reputation of public men, are reck-
lessly sacrificed to the sordid ambition of figuring as
Ministers. Expensive in their habits, and licentious in
their lives, most of the leading political men of France
can only subsist by pandering to the will of the Court..
When public men, for the means of living in profusion,
look to the emoluments of office, it is in vain to expect
from them the .severe virtues essential to the character
of the true patriot. Fr(;rn the instant we learned that it
was the ambition of M. TiliEnS, for example, to rival
Princes in the,_collection of rare pictures, bronze', and
statuary, in the costliness of his furniture, and the
sumptuousness of his entertainments, we were at no
loss to conceive the extent to which the electors of
France might calculate on the employment of his great
abilities in their service.
We find the following important announcement in one
of the Journals of Sunday :—England, France, Austria,
and Russia have decided that a conference shall speedily
be opened among the Great Powers of Europe to
regulate and finally settle the affairs of the East. The
place of meeting is not yet fixed, but it is supposed that
London will be named as the most convenient."
A letter from the Spanish frontier of the 19th inst.,
reports as a fact, that in consequence of interviews
between ESPAKTERO and MmtoTo, a suspension- of
arms, for three months has been exchanged between
these cffieers. Upon this statement the Sentinel des
Pyrenees has the following observations :
This news is of such vast importance that .we do not
venture to say any thing on the subject until we have some
more certain communication. We will, however, observe
the c!)incidence of this report -with the following letter,
addressed from the Army of the North to the Eco del
Cornercio.

The following is a letter from the head-quarters of the
Army of the North, dated the 9th of this month :
" Colon2l Monteveide, belonging to the general staff,
is gone to the head-quarters of Maroto, to hold a parley.
Ile had scarcely set out when air extraordinary message
arrived from Madrid. This circumstance has given rise to
an infinite number of reports. Some persons say that the
Carlists have propos, d to terminate the struggle, by means
of certain stipulations, which have already been communi-
cated to the Government. We cannot yet give credit to
this news, but it would not be strange if the factions,
wearied out as they are, should think of laying down their
arms, especially as they see that they are combating in
vain against a nation and an army, fully resolved to
maintain the constitutional cause."—Sentinelle des Pyre-
nees, Jane 20.

BRUNSWICK, JUNE 15.—Searcely a fortnight has passed
since the departure of Duke Wiliam, whose tour is said
to be connected with his marriage, which is so gresily
wished for. It is generally reported here that his Serene
Highresi has made choice of a Princess of the House of
Leuchtenberg.
STOCKIIOI,M, JUNE 14.—The King will not he here till
to-morrow, having stopped three days at S:rornsholm.
ODESSA, JUNE 7.—The Empress Alexandra steam. beat,
which left Constawinnple on the 4th of this month, has
arrived here, hut brings no further news from the Turkish
Capital.
Hallovna, JUNE 18 —The King has returned a long
answer to the Address of the Assembly of the Estates.
It was read yesterday in the Chambers, and is fully calcu-
lated to make the most favourable impression on every one,
who is convinced that this is the only way in which the
the real interests of the country can be secured, and the
intentions of his Majesty be carried into effect.
