A letter from Rome states that between the
months of November, 1859, and the end of October,
1862, a period of three years, the collection of
Peter's Pence has added to the resources of the Pope
the sum of 5,150,000 crowns, that is, more than

1,700,000 Roman crowns (upwards of 9,000,000 f.)
a year. The annual deficit of-the Pontifical finances
is five millions of crowns; Peter's Pence reduces it
to 3,300,000 crowns. "Notwithstanding that de-
ficit," says the letter, " the Uovernment meets the
expenses of the public service, and has at this
moment a sum of one million crowns in the Trea-

POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, Nov. 14.

In spite of the false rumours spread by the Ger-
man press to the contrary, the conscription, or
rather proscription, has become a fact, and-a sad
reality. As is customary with the Russian Go-
vernment, a regular razzia has been effected during
several nights upon the artisans and other working
population of this city. Whilst soundly asleep,
after the long day's labour, the police surround the
houses in which those men lodge, and without
any notice enter it, and carry away, in the midst
of shrieks and lamentations of the 'relatives, its
victims for the Russian army. A large number
were thus transported last night to the citadel,
where to all purposes they are already Russian
soldiers, destined to the dreary regions of Siberia,
or the mountains and passes of the Caucasus. Can
such a system of tyranny be always endured, even
by the most moderate and self-resigning part of the
population ; and is it not surprising that some in-
dividuals should be driven by despair to perpetrate
acts bordering on criminality ? In addition to the
scourge of recruiting, fresh arrests have taken place
on the ground of the discovery of a conspiracy, and
the work of this daily persecution seems to have no
end.

The counterpart of the same policy is being
enacted i❑ the other Polish provinces belonging to
Russia,—viz,, in Podolia, Ukraine, and Lithuania.
In the first, which sent the famous address from
Kiamiensie Podolski to the Emperor, the marshals
of the nobility, who were the chief movers, have
now been sent to St. Petersburg, and the whole
of the nobility, for whom there was no room in the
public prisons, have been placed under arrest in
their own houses, guarded by the military, and not
allowed to leave until further orders. Such is
the reply of the benevolent Alexander 11. to his
subjects, for representing to him in a quiet and
legal way the wishes and requirements of the pro-
vince. The Czar did not tell those nobles to go and
travel abroad as he did to Count Andrew Zamoyski,
who, as we are informed here, has been received in
France and England with so much respect and
sympathy, not only by his own countrymen but by
the most distinguished personages, a sufficient
evidence of the condemnation of the Imperial con-
duct towards that eminent Polish patriot.

The concessions which in one or two instances
hare been made, such as the establishment of a
High School in Warsaw, and the removal of a few
obiioxtous Russians from public offices, can have no
guarantee as long as oppression on the part of
Russia, and suspicion and disbelief in the conces-
sions on the part of the Poles, shall continue. The
only means left for reconciling the Polish people, is
to restore to them all the national rights throughout
the whole extent of their territory, and this should
be the first paramount duty of Russia. But how
different is the insensate policy of the Czar, who is
bent upon annihilating the last vestige of whatever
is Polish. Let the panegyrists of that monarch who
cease not to proclaim loudly his benefits for Poland,
explain the transportation of the Marshals of Podo

Tian nobility to the fortresses of St. Petersburg,
because they dared to declare openly and solemnly
that they are Poles and that they stand in need of
their national wants, or the exile of Count Andrew
Zamoyski for acting in a similar manner at Warsaw.

On the 9,h inst., at four o'clock p.m., the chief
of the Spy Department, M. Felkner, was found
stabbed to death in the hall of the house which he
inhabited, and his right ear cut off. The perpetra-
tor of this crime has not yet been discovered, and
as the deceased made himself hated by everybody
for his cruel proceeding:: while filling several public
offices, the„ cause of his death is thought to be an
act of personal and not of political revenge. He
served in the Russian army, from which he retired,
and accepted, under Muchanow (of European noto-
riety), the post of the Inspector of Education, in
which he carried out, with an extraordinary zeal,
the work of his master in suppressing every intel-
lectual enlightenment, and rendered himself so un-
popular that he was obliged to tender his resigna-
tion. He then entered the Secret Police, and was
nominated the chief of the spies, in which capacity
e
he acted up to the last moment of his unenviable
life. For all that the news of his death
hascausedvl
a very painful impression upon the inhabitants
this city.

LAW---THIS DAY.

COURT OF ARCHES.
PROSECUTION OF ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.
(Before Dr. Luqhington, Dean of Arches.)
_ _

At the sitting of the Court this morning,
Sir Robert Phillimore, the Queen's Advocate, said that
by arrangement with his learned friends on the other side
he had to mention the cases of the Bishop of Salisbury
against the Rev. Dr. Rowland Williams, and the Rev. J.
Fendall against the Rev. Henry Bristow© Wilson, rector of
Great Stoughton. The Court would remember that on the
last day of sitting Dr. Deane put, on the part of Dr. Row-
land Williams, a negative issue, which would, if persisted
in, have compelled him (Sir R. Phillimore) to prove publi-
cation and other technicalities. He had now to state that
there would be no necessity on his part to produce evidence,
and he would ask the Court to appoint next Monday week
to hear what remained of the argument. He believed that
arrangement would be convenient to all parties.
Dr. Deane suggested that a longer time would be desir-
able.

Sir R. Phillimore said he felt it his duty to press for the
decision of the Court within a reasonable time.
_ _ _

Dr. Lushington said he should be glad to make any ar-
rangement that suited all parties, but Monday week was
fixed for an Admiralty Court. Every day would be taken
up by Admiralty business for the next ten days.
Dr. Deane then suggested that Monday, the 16th of
December, should be appointed.
Dr. Lushington said it might be settled by the learned
gentlemen present hereafter, and then a day could be fixed.
Sir R. Phillimoro said he would rather take Monday,
Dec. 15, as it had been mentioned.
That day was eventually fixed for the hearing.
CARTWRIGHT AND OTHERS V. ZONES.

This was a proceeding in reference to church rates, under
Lord Blandford's Act, called the New Parishes Act. The
promoters of the suit had made a church rate in the parish
of St. Mary's, Shrewsbury, upon which Mr. Jones, the de-
fendant, urged the rate should have been levied generally,
not only upon the district of St. Mary's, but upon five other
districts in connection with it.

Dr. Lushington held that the districts alluded to had been
properly constituted under Lord Blandford's Act, and that
the rate had therefore been properly laid upon St. Mary's,
Shrewsbury, alone,

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEAL.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Justices Wightman,
Williams, and Mellor, and Mr. Baron Channel!.)
THE QUEEN V. THOMAS POYNTON.

In this case the prisoner, Thomas Poynton, was a letter
carrier, in the service of the District Post-office, at Leices-
ter, and in the course of his duti 's he received a letter
directed to Stephen Sullivan, dealer, Black Horse, Belgrave-
gate, Leicester, care of Mr. Swift, and containing two half-
sovereigns. This letter was delivered to the prisoner for
delivery in his afternoon duties. The letter, however, was
not delivered, and, on inquiries being made about
the letter, the prisoner was charged with stealing
it, when he took from the pocket of his trousers the letter,
which was unopened, and contained the two half sove-
reigns. The prisoner was then given into custody, and
tried at the last assizes at Leicester, before the Lord Chief
Baron, on the charge of stealing and secreting the letter,
and the jury found the prisoner guilty of secreting the
letter with the intention of stealing, the learned judge re-
serving the question for the opinion of the court whether
the conviction was good in law,

Mr. Merewether, for the prisoner, urged that the fact of
the prisoner having delivered up the letter when asked for
it there was no secretion with intent to steal.

The Court, however, were of a contrary opinion. Con-
viction affirmed,

THE QUEEN T. SAMUEL STANNARD-THE QUEEN V.
TEOMAS BARRETT.

The question reserved in these cases being identical, they
were argued together. In the first case the defendant
Stannard was tried at the last Assizes for Suffolk, before
the Lord Chief Jus ice Cockburn, and the defendant, Bar-
rett, at the Middlesex Sessions, before Mr. Bodkin, Assis-
tant-judge, the charge being for keeping certain houses for
illegal and disorderly purposes, and allowing them to be
used as common bawdy-houses. The defendants in both
cases were convicted, judgment being reserved, and the
question was whether the defendants, being merely the
landlords, and receiving the rents from weekly tenants,
were responsible for the acts of the tenant,
The Court took time to consider their judgment.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
GILL V. GILL AND ROGGE.

This snit, it will be recollected, was before the Court
a day or two ago, when judgment was deferred in
consequence of the want of evidence to identify the hand-
writing of the respondent. This morning the sister of the
petitioner supplied the necessary evidence.
The Judge Ordinary said there was no doubt about the
respondent and Colonel Hogge being the parties who com-
mitted the adultery at different places on the continent.
He therefore pronounced a decree nisi, with costs against
Colonel Rogge.

Z.T.7B3MLX. Y. IGU33LI.L.

This was a petition presented by the wife praying for a
judicial separation on the ground of adultery.
The respondent was clerk to a coal merchant, and was
married in 1839. A separation took place, and in the year
1857 the respondent became acquainted with a female
named Elizabeth Jane Melton, who since that time had
been living with him as his wife. Previous to the institu-
tion of the suit a meeting of the family took place with a
view of inducing the respondent to renounce his connection
with Wilson, but notwithstanding that the adulterous in-
tercourse continued.
The female Elizabeth Melton was called by the counsel
for the petitioner, and admittea that she had for some years
cohabited with the respondent.
Decree nisi granted.
SCHOFIELD V. SCHOFIELD AND TAYLOR.

This was a petition presented by the husband, a butcher,
of Birmingham, praying for divorce cn the ground of adul-
tery of his wife with his slaughterman, William Taylor.
The marriage having been proved by a person named
Barrow,
Mrs. Emma Parks, formerly in the service of petitioner,
said—Mr. Schofield always treated his wife well. I knew
William Taylor; he was a fellow servant. On one occa-
sion I went into the kitchen suddenly when I found Mrs.
Schofield eitting on Taylor's knee, and on another I saw
Mrs. Schofield and Taylor kissing each other, as I thought.
I recollect the 23d of May, 1861, when Mr. Schofield re-
turned home, about 5 minutes to 12 at night, from the
tavern. He went upstairs to go to bed,but in a few minutes
after I was called up to the room, when I saw Taylor
in his shirt coming from the bed in which Mrs. Schofield
was lying. I asked him what business he had there, and
he said he did not know. Schofield told Taylor to pack up
his things and go. The next morning Mr. Lench, the
brother-in-law of Mrs. Schofield, came. He put his hand
on the respondent's shoulder and said, " Come, Polly, is
this the first time, because William Taylor said it was not."
She replied, " It was, and that Taylor must be a scamp."
Mrs. Denston proved having seen Taylor after the cir-
cumstances became known to the neighbours, when he ad-
mitted the truth of the accusation,
Decree suspended, in order that inquiry might be made
relative to certain rules of the court being complied with.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

FRIENDLY LOAN SOCIETIES-IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER

3 AND 4 TICT.-PITT V. CAHILL.

This was an action upon a promissory note to recover an
unpaid balance, plaintiff being one of the officers of the
First City of London Mutual Aid Loan Society, and defen-
dant an attorney's clerk.
Defendant took a preliminary objection under the 3d and
4th Viet., cap. 110, sec. 13. By this section it was enacted
that the society should not grant a second loan until the
former one was repaid. Now, when defendant applied for
the present loan there was a balance due upon a former one,
and the first loan was paid out of the proceeds of the second.
A gentleman who appeared for the plaintiff, said that the
society were anxious to have his Honour's opinion upon
the point, which was a most important one to friendly loan
societies. He contended that the second loan could not be
said to be granted until the money was actually handed
over, and in this case the first loan was paid simultaneously
with the granting of the second. Again defendant could
not now dispute his liability, as he had admitted it by pay.
ment of certain instalments of the second loan.

His Honour referred to the act, and, upon reading the
clause, said that it was perfectly clear plaintiffs had no power
to grant a second loan till the first was paid. Now, one
question here was--What is granting a loan?

Defendant—The loan is granted when plaintiffs intimate
their willingness to advance the money.
Plaintiffs' representative—Not so. We can not, until
the money is advanced. The loan was a loan, and tho
balance of the first unpaid loan was deducted at the time.
Defendant—l received a cheque for £7,
cashed it in the
room, and paid out of it the amount due in the first loan.
His Honour—That makes it very clear. The second
loan was evidently granted before the first was paid, and I
must fiud for defendant.
Verdict for defendant.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A BETTING MAN CHARGED WITH FRACTURING A
MAN'S JAW.—Robert Marshall, a betting man, was
charged before Mr. Knox with violently assaulting John
Pickford, of 10, Bath-buildings, City.road, a toll-collector.
Mr. Bury Hutchinson, of Ebnry-street, appeared for the
prosecution.

It appears that there had been a betting transaction
between the complainant and defendant, and the defendant
Ineeting the complainant in Green-street, Leicester-square,
yesterday, asked him to pay him a bet he owed him. The,
complainant told the defendant to " take it out of him,''
and upon this a scuffle ensued, and the defendant struck
complainant a violent blow on the jaw, the result being that
complainant's jaw was fractured.

A certificate was handed in as follows
" Charing-cross Hospital, Nov. 22.
"I certify that John Pickford is suffering from a fracture
of the lower jaw.
" Wm. TRAVERS, Resident Medical Officer."

Mr. Knox said that until he was assured that complain"
ant was out of danger he should not go further into the
case. _ He should remand the defendant for a week.
There was no evidence to show that the man was free from
the danger of lock-jaw. He would accept bail for the de-
fendant, two housekeepers in £2O each.
Mr. Bury Hutchinson said it was a serious case, inas-
much as the defendant had threatened to settle the com•
plainant.

The defendant was then remanded.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OP HOUSEBREAKING•

—T. M'Cairns, IV. Wallace, and G. Butt were placed in
the dock, charged with a burglary at the residence of Alder.
man Allen, 6, Petersham-terrace, Gloucester-road, Ken-
sington.

George Seymour, 311 T, said—Last Thursday night, at
a quarter before twelve, I found the area door of Alderman
Allen'shouse, leading to the front kitchen, open. Thinking
that all was not right I obtained assistance and entered the
house. We went through the kitchen to the butler's pantry,
where we found all the plate cupboards and closets open,
and some plate lying about it. In a sleeping room on the
ground floor we found the prisoner M'Cairns lying on the
floor by the side of the bed bound hand and foot with cord,
with a linen cloth over his head,
Mr. Paynter—Was he gagged?
Witness—Yes , the linen cloth was forced in his mouth.
Mr. Paynter—What did you do ?
Witness—l cut the cords and removed the cloth.
Mr. Paynter—What account did he give ?
Witness—lle said that the butler had gone to the theatre,
and he was waiting up for him, when, hearing a noise, he
went with a sword-stick in his hand to the door, when be
found three men, who bound him hand and foot and robbed
the house.

Mr. Paynter—You say there was plate strewn about the
floor.

Witness—Yes, but those were some electro- plated articles,
used in the family—the silver goods were taken.
Mr. Paynter—D:d he say how the robbers got in ?
Witness—Yes. He said by the fanlight. I told him to
go and wake his master who had gone to bed, but he said It
was no use, as the plate was gone. We then waited for the
butlei, and when he came home he awoke Mr. Alderraelt
Allen. .31'Cairns told the butler that he was bound hand
and foot until the " Bobby" loosed him.
Inspector Crop, of the T division said—l was sent for 00
the night in question, and found a fanlight open over the
door of the lower part of the house. There was no appear'
ante of any violence having been used. The cord of the
fanlight must have been broken from the inside. I 0-
amined the ledge of the fanlight, and there was the accunor
lated dust of years there, which was perfectly undisturbed'
and therefore no person could have passed through there.
On the following morning the prisoner, M'Cairns gage
me a piece of string and a bit of a file which had been left
in the house.

Mr. Samuel Jacobs, 5, Park-side, Knightsbridge, proved
that Butt, after a conversation in which he asked him if b°
would buy plate, sent for a sack full of silver on yesterday
morning. He weighed it, and found it contained 400
ounces. Wallace fetched the sack of silver, while wituese
weighed some other plate brought by Butt. Witness bed
previously been in communication with the police, and can"
ing them in, gave Butt and Wallace into custody.
Evidence was given, showing an intimacy between
M'Cairns and the other prisoners, and that Butt visited
MTairns at the alderman's house on the night of the rob-
bery.
Prisoners were remanded for a week.

ROBBING A CAPTAIN AND DIVIDING THE SBOIL•'
Three Irishwomen, named Lynch, Cassidy, and Callahan,
were brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing
a purse, containing nineteen sovereigns, from the person of.

same time calling upon the landlord to assist them, but
he refused to do so, and said his placa was behind the bar.
A regular struggle and fight ensued, and one of the
woman, named Irish Moll, who was really dividing 1•13
spoil, got away. The three prisoners were seized, and after
a violent resistance the officers took from Lynch three
sovereigns and a half sovereign, from Cassidy five o.
sove-
reigns, and from Callahan five sovereigns. Their compato
escaped with £5 10s. in gold. The prisoners had been 11:
company with Captain Henry Fuller, the master of th.
Sunderland Packet, at the Black Horse, on Tower-bili;
He was stupidly drunk, and one of them managed to o°B'
his purse and money. When he discovered his loss. be..
went to a respectable house, the Red Cross, in East Smith'
field, and said he bad been robbed there. He was found,

they did so.
Mr. Woolrych, hearing that Callahan was an old 0037161:rr:
