SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAT.—The Severn steam-
ship, Captain Vincent, left the river this afternoon, out-
ward-bound, with the West India and Mexican mails.
She took out 14 passengers,
some specie, and a freight of
merchandise consigned to various islands. The Severn
was in excellent condition, and excited the admiration of
her passengers. The Teviot is expected home with the
next mail. From the prevalence of westerly winds
during the past fortnight, it is very possible she may
arrive earlier than usual—probably in the course of to-
morrow. The Euxine, from Constantinople, is expected
in a day or two.

To close the eyes, and give a seemly comfort to the
apparel of the dead, is poverty's holiest touch of nature.
To hasten from the quivering soul, and in dark chambers
pour out the tears of sensitive regret, while stranger
hands prepare the weeds of sepulchre, is; the course that
affluence assigns'to solemn sorrow—Eliza CooA's Journal.
We have authority to state, with reference to the
case of the Rev. Charles Rookes, that the Lord Bishop
of the diocese has commenced proceedings, under the
Act for better enforcing church difcipline, and that Mr.
Rookes has already been served with notice thereof.—
Exeter Flying Post.
BEES.—A correspondent of the Dumfries Courier
says :—The present has not been what is called a great
swarming season; but the probable quantity of honey,
nevertheless, is all guess•wcrk. We have rarely seen a
greater abundance of white clover in Borgne (par creel-
knee, the Hybla of Scotland); the recent mild but cloudy
weather retards its withering. The bee•men of great
experience say that in propitious seasons the finest of the
honey i 3 gathered frem the middle of July to the begin-
nine of September. Early in the season honey is nearly
as elk tx as spring water, bu', £uss( qlenly, by some in-
comprchen•ii,l2, ulchtml of industrious insect, it ac-
quires, not only a delicious iLvour, but the truly beau-
tiful sea-green hue.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ARCHES' COURT, Aug. 2.
(Before Sir HEY.BERT JENNER FUST.)
GORHAM V. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.
The arguments in this case were concluded in the
Easter term, and judgment was given to-day.
The Learned JUDGE stated that this question con-
cerned the religion of the Church, and had excited
therefore more than ordinary interest in the public mind,
besides imposing great responsibility upon him (Sir H.
J. Fut). The case had been claiiiorately argued, and it
was deeply to be regretted that any misunderstanding
between a clergyman and his diocesan should ever
occur. Toe facts of the case were—that Mr. Gorham
had been presented by the Lord Chancellor to the living
of Sc. Just in January, 1340, and in cont,equence of the
testimonials of which Mr. Gorham was possessed, the
Bishop did not think it necessary to examine him.
Subsequently Mr. Gorham was presented by the Lord
Chancellor to the living of Bampton Spoake, in the
county of Devon. This was in November, 1847. Mr.
Gorham wrote to the Bishop, and several letters passed
bete eun him and Mr. Barnes, the secretary of the
Bishop. Whether rightly or wrongly the Bishop sus-
pected that Mr. Gorlieon did not entertain sound doc-
trines on the subject of baptism; and after an exinnina-
lion of Mr. Gorham hid taken piste, the Bishop was
of opinion that be did not entertain sound doetrines
on the subject of bsptism. Upon his translatien to
it e living of 13arnptor. Speaks, three bilet-lei-A clergy-
men certified to the Lord Chancellor that Mr. Gor-
ham entertained sound doctrines; and the testimonials
of these three clergymen were forwarded to the Bishop,
wh e after the examination of Mr. Gorham, etitlensed
upon the testimonials that he was of opinion that Mr.
Gorham did not entertain sound doctrines. Tee testi-
monisls were then forwarded to Mr. Gorham, and the
Bishop communicated the circumstance to the Lord
Chancellor, and his Lordship wrote to Mr. Gorham,
sitting that he would still sign the fiat for the presenta-
tion, notwithstendirog what had been written by the
Bishop, because he could riot take upon himself to give
any opinion as to the doctrine of Mr. Gorham, and
in doing so the Lord Chancellor had acted with pro-
priety, and upon that there could be no doubt whatever.
Whether the Bishop exceeded his authority or exercised
his discretion soundly, eas not fur the Court at present
to enter into. It may be doubted whether he did net
go somewhat farther than was usual, but be that es it
might, Mr. Gorham wes subsequently examined on
several days for a considerable period, and on the 20th
of March, 1648, the Bishop delivered a ct rtificate to Mr.
Gorham of unsoundet ss of doctrine, and the matter
rested until June, 1848, when Mr. Gorham stated that
he was willing to tnh.icribe the three articles rrqitired
by the 36th canon, and a monition to that etre,:t
was presented to the Court, and requiring the
Court to admit Mr. Contain to the; living. The
Bishop appeared by his Proctor te that monition, and
both parties having been hoard by the Court, it now
stood for its decision. As the case CAD,' before the
Court it was impossible for the Cous t to offer an opinion
as to the manner in which the ex.:ruination of Mr. Gor-
I ham had been conducted, or to decide whe'h•ir or not
the doctrines he entertained were according to the doe-
trineA of the Church of England. On the part of the
Bishop a book was laid before the Court whieticontained
the doctrines of Mr. Gorham; that was a most iecoave-
nieut course, and left the Court to find its way through
the book as it best could. The proceeding should have
been by plea and proof instead of the course which had
been adopted by the Bishop, and the same irregularity
had been followed on the part of Mr. Gorham. In the
petition of the Bishop the averments were loose and
vague. In tie course of the discussion a question had
been raised as to who was to be considered the originator
of the proceedings, and on whom the enus prohandi
Now, although Mr. Gorham was nominally the origi-
Da' or, still Mr. Gorham had made out a prima facie case,
which the Bishop was bound to answer; and the onus
prohandi therefore lay upon the Pi,shop. Upon exami-
nation it appeared to the Bishop that Mr. Gorham held
unsound duetrinea on the point of baptism, which I e did
not consider to confer regetieratien, and the Bishop,
therefore, refused to institute hien rind he had already
decided that that was a ground of refusal to admit Mr.
Gorham. Now in tie proceeding* the Court had not
pointed out to it what the doctrines of the Church of
England on that point were, and the Court was left to
gather them for itself. Mr. Gorham stated that he had
been a member of the University for eighteen years, and
a priest of the Church since 1312, and had held livings
in six several dioceses, and that was a prima facie case of
qualification. The B:sbop maintained that in the c xa-
mination of Mr. Gorbera drat gentleman held unsound
doctrines on the subject of baptism, and Mr. Gorham, on
the ether hand, contended that he did rot do so—and en
that point they were at issue. Both the charge and de •
rail were, however, loose and vague. The particular
doctrines which were unsound should have been specifi-
cally stated, and the answer would then have been spe-
cific also. He thought the Court had a right to com-
plain that the case had not been so specifically laid be-
fore it. The arguments of counsel had, however, thrown
considerable light upon the points between the parties,
and great learning and ability had boen displayed by the
learned counsel on both sides. A good deal was said
upon the conduct of the Bishop in requiring an
examination at all; and it certainly was not
a common course to pursue with respect to a gen-
tleman who was removed from one living to another in
the same diocese, but such a course might be necessary,
and instances of it had occurred. Mr. Gorham denied
that the Bishop had the right to make the examination,
and complained of the mode iu which it had been con-
ducted; but that was a matter in the discretion of the
Bishop, and upon which the Court was not called upon
to give any opinion, nor was it for the Court to deter-
mine whether there was a greater or lesser degree of
courtesy shown on the one side or the other in the course
of the examination. It was riot for the Court to give
any opinion upon en expression attributed to Mr. Gor-
ham, as to whether or not the Church was the National
Church, nor to expressions attributed to the Bishop with
respect to Tractarianism in the course of his charge.
The real question was as to the efficacy of baptism in the
case of infants only, and had no relation to the question
of the efficacy of baptism generally, or in the case of
adults. But although that was the real point, still,
in the examination the efficacy of baptism in the case
of infants and in the case •of adults, had been so
much mixed up, that it was difficult to separate them.
He was not going to give an opinion upon the
theological question, since that was not the duty of the
Court—the duty of the Court was to ascertain what the
Church had decided upon the point, and to be guided by
that decision. The first question, therefore, was,
whether or not the Church had pronounced any opinion
upon the point? And that gave rise to a second ques-
tion, which was, how that was to be ascertained? Mr.
Gorham founded himself upon the articles of the Church,
and beyond that he would not go. L pon that, and that
alone, he took his stand. The Learned Judge com-
mented at gnat length upon the questions put to and
and answered by Mr. Gorham. The Bishop asks,
" Doss our Church hold, and do you hold, that every
infant baptised, by a lawful minister with water in the
name of the F.,ther, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost, is made by God in such baptism a member of
Christ, and an inheritor of the kingdom of Heaven?"
" Does our Church hold, and do you hold, that such
children, by the laver of regeneration in baptism are
received into the number of the children of God, and
heirs of everlasting life?" "Does our Church hold,
and do you hold, that all infants so baptised are born
again of water and the Holy Ghost?" To these
questions Mr. Gorham did not give a direct answer,
but refers to the thirty-nine Articles; and it was used
in argument, that this was sufficient with the
services performed. Mr. Gorham says:—" In reply to
these propositions, being stated in the precise words of
the Ritual Services, or of Catechism, undoubtedly must
be held by every honest member of the Church • to con-
tain in these nothing contrary to the Word of God, or to
sound doctrine, or which a godly man may not with a
good conscience use and submit unto, or which is not
fairly defensible--if it shall be allowed such just and
favourable construction as is common equity ought to
be allowed to all human writings, especially such as are
set forth by authority ; " and said that the first impor-
tant point which was raised was, that Mr. Gorham was
of opinion that in placing a construction upon the
articles and formularies of the Church it was necessary
to consider their meaning with reference to the °pillions
of the Reformers by whom they were framed. Now all
the writers who had been quoted went to say that the
doctrines of the Church were to be found in the Thirty-
nine Articles alone; but if they were silent upon any point
then they were to inquire to what authority they were to
refer, end he found that Bishop Burnett laid it down that
they were to refer to the formularies of the Church and
the officers of the Church. Several other writers laid
down the same doctrine. He thought that doctrine was
the doctrine of common sense, and it was the doctrine
laid down in a decision of Lord Brougham's in the
Judicial Committee of the Privy Council ; they were
not therefore to lay any stress or weight upon the
opinion of any private individual, however eminent. He
thought that by the 25th article no one could receive
baptism efficaciously who had it not by worthy reception;
and then they had to consider what worthy reception
was, and the article said in was by faith and repentance;
but young children could have neither faith nor repen-
tance at the time, although they might have them after-
wards. Mr. Gorham admits that children who die before
they commit actual sin may be saved, but they must be
regenerated by a prevenient :act of grace ; he denies
that the regeneration is conferred by the act of baptism.
After going through the whole of the service of bap-
tism, the Learned Judge said that what the child was to
receive by it was spiritual regeneration according to the
plain construction of the language used. He was of
opinion, therefore, that Mr. Gorham was wrong in dis-
puting that regeneration was effected in and by baptism.
Has then the Bishop shown sufficient cause for not in-
stituting him in the living of the Church. He (the
Learned Judge) considered the Bishop had, and in
consequence was entitled to be dismissed with costs.
Notice of appeal was then given.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Inspector Mitchell, of the City Police, was summoned
before Alderman Gibbs to show cause why he cbitained
in his possession a gold watch, the property of Mr.
John Inman. The circumstances were remarkable.
Mr. De Jersey, who attended as solicitor to the com-
plainant, briefly stated the case, which was borne out
by the following evidence:—
Mr. John Inman, of No. 40, Cloth- far, said—On the
19th of July I purchased for 101. a gold watch, which
was made by Messrs. Widenham and Adams, at the
auction rooms of Messrs. Debenham and S!orr, in York •
street, Covent-garden, to whom it appeared to have
been sent as an unredeemd pledge, and I took it on
the same day to the makers, in Lombard-street, to
be repaired. I told Mr. Widenham that I should
call again on Tuesday, and I accordh:gly d'd call, 7,11 d
paid him 12s. for the repairs. 1; hen he handed me
the watch, I asked him the value of it, and he said
it had cost 35 pounds or guineas there. I ob-

served that at that rate I should not be a loser by it. He
smiled, and I was on the paint of departing, when a •
policeman (Storey) stood by my side antraeked me 1
where I got the watch. I told him where I had pur-
chased it, and what amount I had paid for it, and he then •
informed me that it was stolen property and that I must
accompany hire to the station-house. I went with him,
considering myself to be in custody, and the charge was
regularly enteted into. The watch was taken from me
by Storey, and it was given by him to Inspector
in whose possession it still remains, for it was never re
turned to me. I had to go with him to Covent-garden,
to Messrs. D.-benham and Stores, whence he took me to
the shop of Mr. Attembarough, the pawnbroker, in Pim.
lice. We then went to the house of Mr. Cubitt, in Bed-
ford-square, and then returned to the station-house in
Bow-lehe, where I was diechaezed and told that I should
hear from the police the following dey.
lespnttor Mitchell here handed to Aldermen Gibbs
the wetch which Storey bad taken from Mr. Inman, and
plated in his possession in the course of his duty.
Mr. Widiam B. S.'torr, cf the house of Debenhatn and
Storr, auctioneers, of York street, Covent garden, said,
—On the 19. h of July we sold a watch (lot 131) by
public sale. It was a gold lever watch, made by Widen-
ham and Adams, and we received for it the sem of 101.
It was the fourth day's sale of valuable forfeited and
other property, as expressed in the catalogue. The
watch care.' into our possession from Mr. Attenhorough,
of Pimlico, as an unredeemed pledge, and we put the
10/. down to the credit of his account,
In answer to questions from Mr. De Jersey, Mr.
Store. said, " The money has not been paid to Mr. Atten-
boreugh. We cot inquire whether property is an un-
redeemed pledge or net. No ticket was produced. We
have a list of the goods furaished by the pawabre her
for sole—the original manuscript of the catalogue. Ido
not know the watch. It irs marked es sold fur money,
not by name and Mr. Debenleem sold it."
George Lawes am in the employment of Mr.
James Attenborough, pawnbroker, of Pimlico. I bought
a watch of a lady on the 25_i of 11Lreh. I believe it to
be the watch produced. It seas very much like this
wand). Ido not like to swear :hat it is the same, but
I believe it is. It was given over to the auctioneers in
my presence. Mr. Atte nborough has it entered as pur-
chased for 71. He entered it, I having bought it for
that sum. Sometimes I enter things in the bock. Mr.
Attcnborcugh eves out at the time I made the purchase.
Alderman GIBBS—Do you frequently purchase things
in this way ? Witness—No, not frequently. We some
times do. The catch was given to Mr. I)ebenham by
Mr. Attenborough to be sold.
_I should not think it wss
given as an unreacemed pledge. It was given along with
others which were unredeemed pleeges to be sold. They
all go together inns catalogue headea " Forfeited goods,
and other effects." lam n A aware that there was a re-
served price.
Aldermen GIBBS—F, Om whom do you say you pur-
chased the watch ? Witmss—From a lady.
Alderman GIBBS—New take care what you say.
Have you seen any one sit ce about his watch? Wit-
ness—l have seen Mr. Cubitr's female servant since the
inquiry was instituted. The inspector teok me to Mr.
Cubist's house in Bedioid-squaro, and I there saw that
gentleman and the servant girl.
Alderman GIBBS—Ihd you seen that woman before?
'Witness—l firmly believe that I never saw her before.
Never to my knowledge.
Alderman Gezns—Was she the lady who sold you the
watch ? Witness—No ; she certaicly was not. She
was is perfect stranger to me.
Alderman GIBBS—What were tie name and address
of the ;ady who sold you the watch? Witness—She
told me that her name was Courtney, and that she
wanted to sell the watch for a friend of here, her late
governess, Mademoiselle Charton, who was in distress,
and she said her friend resided in "Lee River-lene," in

Paris.

Alderman GIBBS—What was the address of the lady
herself ? Witness—She did not like to give her address,
but she said she was a perfect lady.
Aldermen GIBBS —Was there anything attached to
the watch ? Witncss—Yes ;I believe there was a gold
guard .chain attached to it.
Alderman GIBBS—What became of that gold chain ?
Witness—lt was sold with a miscellaneous lut of jewel-
lery to a jc.v.
Alderman GIBBS—And the gold chain was included
with the watch in the price of 71. ? Witness—Yes ; but
I am not sure it was gold.
Alderman GIBBS—Did you give the lady any ticket ?
Witness—No.

Mr. Lewis Cubitt, of Balford-square, brother to Mr.
Cubbit!, M.P. for Andover, said, this watch belonged to
my daughter Agnes. On the 26th of March she missed
it, and we supposed it was lost, and I went on the fol-
lowing day to the watchmaker in Lombard-street, got
an accurate description of it, and offered a reward of 5/.
for its restoration. (Mr. Cubitt here real the descrip •
lion, which agreed in every respect with the watch )
About five years ago it was purclia)efl 'by my brother,
and presented by him to my daughter. I more particu-
larly identify it by the dial, which, being silver, became
black, to alter which I got it gilt. We have had reason
to suppose, since the witch was missed, that it was not
dropped in the street, as was at first conjectured, for two
or three thirg have been missed since. There was, at
the time it was lost, a gold chain, about two yards in
length, to which was appended a small chain, with a
seal, for which I had. pai:l 8/. 17s. in Cornhill.
Alderman GMBS—My impression is, that the conduct
of Mr. Attenburough's assistant was anything but what
it ought to have been, and that therefore Mr. Attenbo-
rough ought to sustain the loss; that the watch should
be returned to Mr. Cubitt, and that Mr. Debeaham is
bound to give up the ten pounds he received from
Mr. Inman. I advise the parties to abide by that opi-
nion. It is my view of the question; but if those who
are interested do not submit to such an arrangement,
another course must be adopted.

The solicitor who attended to watch the case for Mr.
Attenborough declined, upon the part of his client, to
Lccecle to such terms.
Alderman GIBBS —Then I trust the case will be car-
ried as far as possible; and I shall grant any summonses
which Mr. Cubitt may require for further investigation.
Mr. De Jersey and a professional gentleman who at-
tended for Mr. Cubitt said that nothing could be more
equitable than the view which the Alderman had taken
of the whole transaction.

Mr. Cubitt said, that when the officer (who had made
extraordinary exertions in the investigation) brought
Mr. Attenborough's assistant to his house in Bedford-
square, there was something very remarkable in the con-
duct of the latter. When brought into the room in
which the suspected women was he held his hand before
his face, and would not look towards her; and, upon
being spoken to on the subject of her identity, he said
that he bad instructions not to say a word unless Mr.
Attenborough was indemnified from any loss. The idea
of indemnification in such a case was, as a matter of
course, altogether rejected; and the young man sidled
cut of the room without once looking at the woman.
Inspector Mitchell—Mr. Attenborough's assistant re-
fused to give us any name or any information we con-
sidered sit cessary.
Alderman GIBBS—I agaia repeat that my advice to
Mr. Attenborough ought to be taken by him.
No answer baying been given to the Alderman, sum-
mouses vstre ordered to be issued, at the desire of Mr.
Cubitt, requiring the attendance of Mr. Attenborough
and other persons to give evidt.nce, and private direc-
tions were given to the inspector, in whose hands the
watch is to be kept until the inquiry shall have assumed
a still more serious complexion.
LAMBETH.

Henry William Dewhurst alias the Rev. Dr. Dewhurst,
who was stated to be a clergyman of the Church of Eng-
land, was brought before the Hon. G. C. Norton for
final examination, charged with stealing two blankets,
two tumblers, and other articles, the property of Thomas
Beavan, residing in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, at
whose house he lately lodged. He was also charged
with obtaining money from a vast number of individuals
all over the country by means of begging letters.
Captain Hood, R.N., Secretary, and Mr. Parsons,
Assistant Secretary to the Mendicity Society, were in
attendance to watch the case, and Mr. Solomons de-
fended the prisoner.
Mr. NORTON inquired of Romaine whether ho had
any further evidence to offer besides that already taken
down?
Romaine replied in the negative. Since the last exa-
mination he had been to a number of places where the
prisoner had lodged, and ascertained that be had robbed
them all, but the persons declined to come forward. One
woman who had promised to come forward had been
robbed of a looking-glass, which the prisoner pledged for
28s. It had since been redeemed, and returned to her,
and the Rev. Mr. Geary, of Salem Chapel, had engaged
to pay that sum for the prisoner. The woman, conse-
quently. refused to appear.
Mr NORTON remarked that since the last examination
he had received an immense number of letters from all
parts of the kingdom, which showed that he had carried
on a great game, and had robbed everybody:
The prisoner, (with some vehemence)—lt is all false.
Mr. NORTON (holding up a large bundle of letters)—
Do you mean to say these are all false? I have a letter
from a banker at Wakefield, from whom you have ex-
torted money, and attempted to get more. Your letters
to him were that you had published a religious work,
and would forward it on receipt of the money. You have
never kept your promise.
The prisoner—l sent it, and if he did not get it, it is
not my fault.:
Mr. NORTON—They are principally clergymen from
whom you have extorted money by your begging letters.
You stated ip your communications that your wife was
lying dead, and that you were suffering from ill-health,
and that you merely wanted to raise a few pounds to
purchase desks, stools, &c., to enable you to open a boys'
school. Such is all a tissue of falsehood:, and made use
of to carry on your nefarious system of plunder, under
the assumed garb of religion.
Prisoner—l am really suffering very acute pain from
disease.
Mr. NORTON—Yes, I have no doubt you are suffering
from a swindling complaint.—(Laughter.)
Prisoner (rather sharply)—That may be your opinion.
Mr. NORTOV—I want to hold no conversation with
you, as I have many letters before me that lam en-
tirely disgusted with your villanous conduct. The hanker
whom I have alluded to have forwarded me three letters,
supposed to be rent by your sons to his family. Now, I
have no doubt they were written by yourself. I have
received a letter also from a solicitor in Bedford•square,
attempting to extort money. Another letter had been
sent to his mother, and whin he arrived at his office he
feu; d two other letters, addressed to his partners, mak-
ing four beggine- letters to one family. There was no
end of lettere from all pens of the country since the ease
had been reported in the newspapers, many complaining
of books not being sent after forwarding to him the
cash; and what disgusted them more than anything was
the supsrscriprien being marked " private" and "
tied nnpeid letters.
Mr. Ferguson, of the Me.ndicity Society, it;ferna-d the
magistrate that they had received u pwares of 200 letters
from the country respecting the prisoner, and exposing
his nefarious system.

Mr. &lemons said that the letters had nothing to do
wi,ll the present charge. The prisoner had acknow-
ledged pledging the articles, and had stated his intention
of redeeming them. There was nothing to show false
pretence, as many had received their books. __ _

Mr. NORTON--But a vast many have not, which you
see by the huge pile of letters before me. lam really
sorry I cannot punish him for the latter, although he has
swindled a number of people all over the country. I
have no doubt his hitherto thriving trade is now put an
end to by the publicity given by the press.
Mr. Solomons—l don't think it very thriving.
Mr. NORTON-But I do. This week, since ho has
been in custody, a sovereign has been sent to his lodg-
ings. Li the woman Mrs. Meavan in attendance, as I
can punish him for robbing her? Romaine—She has
been taken vtry ill with the cholera, end is not able to
be examined. I have therefore sent her home in a cab.

Mr. l'ConToN said that, as such was unfortuuately the
case, he shouid not send him for trial, although he so
richly deserved it. He could punish him uuder the
P.twabrolters' Act by iiflicting a fine fur unlawfully
pledging the prosecutor's property, but he would pay
that: and be immediately set at liberty to carry on his
begging system with impunity. He should, therefore,
t,:ke advantage of the Police Act, by committing him
to prison, with hard labour, for two months.
