by law in Scotland, under the successive forms of John
Knox and Andrew Melville, from the year 15(30 till
1610. The Presbyterians rejected, as belonging to Popery,
all consecration of bishops, and all ordination by bishops
of priests or deacons. The name of " priest" they Ie•
jetted altogether. The name of " deacon" they applied
to lay officers having duties similar to those of church-
wardens in England. The name of " bishop" was en..
tirely abolished by Knox, and having been restored
under the Regent Mar, chiefly for temporal reasons
(without any consecration or proper episcopal jurisfiic-
tion of the officers so named), it was succesgully
opposed by Melville, under whose discipline the Presby-
terian system in Scotland first assumed that decided
attitude of resistance to every form of ecclesia.t.inl
prelacy which it has since maintained. The expression
" holy orders" has never been known to the Scottish
Presbyterian Church. The term " ordination" was not
used by Knox, and was introduced by Melville and his
followers only to signify the solemn institution of a
pastor chosen by the people to a benefice or a parochial
cure. In all these respects the Presbyterian Church,
while established in Scotland, was fundamentally at
variance with the Church of England ; and (besides
many other important points of difference) the Presby-
terians also rejected the royal supremacy in matters and
causes ecclesiastical. The Court below had held that
the intention of the testator was to have young men
educated according to the Episcopal system in England,
and to secure their appointment to the Episcopalian
ministries in Scotland, and that the trust fund must be
administered on that principle. The appellants appealed
against that decree.
Mr. James Russell and Mr. Rolt were heard for the
respondents on Thursday, and
.2/I.r. L. Wigram with whom was Mr. Roundall Palmer
resumed his arguments which he commenced on Thurs-
day on the behalf of the respondent.
The arguments had not concluded when our Afternoon
Edition went to press.
The cases of Farmer v. Farmer and Fulham v.
M'Carthy, stood on their Lordships paper for judgment
to-day, but up to the time of our going to press their
Lordships had not given their judgment on either case.
Should their Lordships pronounce their judgment to-day
we shall give them in our Third Edition.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
John Burgess and David Nisbet, two lade about 14
years of age, were placed before Mr. Bingham, the for-
mer charged with stealing several valuable diamond
rings and pins, the property of his father, and the pri-
soner Burgess with having received a portion of the
property, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. David George Burgess, jeweller, 11, Castle-street,
East, said the first-named prisoner was his sun, and as-
sisted him in his business. About a week ago witness
missed a va'uable diamond ring and a gold pin set with
amethysts. This circumstance led him to examine his
stock, when he found that 24 rings and 13 pins had been
'abstracted from the jewel cases. His son having once be-
fore robbed him, caused him to suspect that he was
the thief. He called Nina into the shop and then
taxed him with the robbery. He at once admitted being
the thief, and said that he had given the property to a
boy named Burgess, living close by. Witness then sent
for a constable, who went with the prisoner to Burgess's
house, and took the latter into custody.
Police constable 151 E, said, on Saturday night he was
called by the prosecutor to take his sou into custody for
robbing him. On going into the shop the prisoner,
without the least persuasion, made a full confession. He
subsequently went with witness to Burgess's house, and
called him out, when witness took him into custody.
The boy Nisbett said he hud taken the rings and pins,
and gave them to Burgess.
Burgess denied this assertion in tote, and protested his
innocence of the charge brought against him.
Nisbett was remanded for a week, without bail, and
Burgess for the same period, but admitted to bail.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
George Clark, a young. man, was charged with having
caused the death of a horse and seriously damaged a cab,
the property of Mr. JaMOS Duke, cab-master, of the
Curtain-road.

William Doughty, cabman, said he was proceeding up
the High-street, lloxton, at about 10 o'clock on Saturday
night, at a pace about six miles per hour, when he per-
ceived a horse and cart coining towards him at a dan-
gerous rate. He was on the proper side of the road,
which is very wide, but in order to attempt to avoid a
collision, he drove his horse into the gutter. The driver
of the cart, however, had evidently lost all control over
his horse, and the collision inevitably took place, the nevi.
side shaft of the cart entering the off side portion of the
cab horse, which instantly fell dead. There were four
persons in the cart at the time of the collision, three,
however, made their escape.
Mr. Inspector Pascoe said that the prisoner acknow-
ledged the accident to have been his own fault inasmuch
as he had permitted another person to drive; he, how-
ever, added that he was very sorry for the occurrence.
Mr. Duke said the horse was worth 10/. or 12/., he
would, however, take 8/.; and although the cab was so
much damaged he would accept 11. for it, making 01.
compensation for the loss he had sustained.
Mr. Childs appeared for the defendant.

Mr. Hamm:l:animadverted upon the highly repre-
hensible practice of rapid driving in the public streets.
He should adjudge the defendant to pay a penalty of
405., and N. for the damage and loss the prosecutor had
sustained.

IRELAND.
MORE PROCLAMATIONS.
DUBLIN, JULY 22.—A Privy Council, at which the
Lord-Lieutenant presided, was held this afternoon at the
Castle. Proclamations were immediately afterwards
issued, placing the county of Meath, the city of Kilkenny,
and the remaining portions of the counties of Cork and
Waterford, riot already proclaimed, under the operation
of the Preservation of Life Act.
The extension of the Act to the entire county of Cork
has been in compliance with a strong memorial to the
Queen and the Lord-Lieutenant from the grand jury of
that county.
The following is a list of districts proclaimed:—
County of Kilkenny, city of Kilkenny, county Meath;
baronies of Decies within and without Drum, and Cosh-
more and Coshbrine, county Waterford; baronies of
Kerricurrahy, Kinsale; Courcies, Kinalmeaky, Barrette
(north and south), Barrymore, Kiwaltalloon, East Car-
berry and Ivane, and Barrmore, county Cork.
The announcement of the determination of Ministers
to propose the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act has
produced great confidence amongst the loyal and peace-
able portion of the population of this metropolis. It
was high time that some such vigorous policy should be
adopted, as we were almost in the jaws of a sanguinary
insurrection. Every account from several of the southern
counties shows that the disaffected are ripe for an out-
break, and the leaders appear right well disposed to give
the order.
The .Nation and the Irish Felon made their appear-
ance to-day. In the morning some police were stationed
outside the Felon office, but the newsvenders came up in
a body, and obtained their supplies, regardless of the
warnings of the police. The sale of the two papers to-
day has been enormous.
Both the Nation and the Irish Felon exhibit, in every
column, the insane ferocity and utter desperation of the
rebel leaders. It is new openly avowed that the executive
directory have determined to attempt an immediate in-
surrection, and the deluded people are called upon to
rise at once, and "strike the blow." The design of
these madmen is to produce a sanguinary insurrection,
in which they hope that the parties now amenable to
justice may possibly escape the punishment of their
crimes against society.
The Nation requires even " boys of fifteen to bear a
hand in the national struggle." It is declared that " the
cases belli " has arisen—that " the long-pending war
with England has actually commenced." "We bade
England," says C. G. D. (Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy),
writing from Newgate Prison, " choose speedily between
concession and the sword. We formally proclaimed a
war of independence. And now the time is come when
that pledge must be promptly fulfilled, or as formally
clislitinoured." And if the people surrender their arms
!reldeeert the daring enterprise, G. C. D. will not regret
his fate, " though the judge and the jury that await me
should do the will of England without conscience and
without mercy." The article thus concludes:—

the people and their leaders that wisdom which has
trust in the indomitable spirit and resources of a nation
struggling for liberty; that wisdom which does not count
upon the convenience of to-day, or the risk of an hour,
but takes counsel for the permanent prosperity and ho-
nour of the country.
" For myself I will say, that, if the people are robbed
of their arms—if the clubs are broken up—if all the
organization and discipline won with such toil are flung
away in an hour—if the spirit of the country, so mira-
culously evoked, be again permitted to die out while the
leaders of the people look on in dumb submission—if
these things can happen after the terrible lessons we
have before us written in the blood and tears of the
nation, I, for one, will not curse the packed jury that
sends me far from such a spectacle. With me war was
not a natural or instinctive resource; I accepted it only
as the last alternative, but I accepted it without reserva-
tion. I counted upon resisting at the first point where
further delay would quench the ardour of the people. I
knew well that there were limits to their patience—
for they had been betrayed. That a certain
point passed, thousands of bravo men would fly
from the country in despair—that our self-
reliance would die out like a setting sun,
in a single hour : that the obscene vermin who
have grown fat on our misery would re-appear and a
new
reign of fraud begin, a thousand times more hope-
less than the first. If that hour is at hand, or if
ever it
shall one,
may I not stand upon Irish soil to see it.
The knell of our hopes is the saddest I

hear ; though the judge and the jury that await me
should do the • will of England without I

ores—rise as a nation,"

In the Nation, also, Mr. T. D. M'Gee boasts that
" the army of the Leaguo "—that League which the
Freeman's Journal lass so earnestly invited the
Catholic clergy to join—" has obtained within the
week a hundred thousand recruits." Mr. M'Gce
says—" We cannot now afford to sacrifice the club&
They must be strengthened, increased, and extended;"
and inasmuch as " Saint Ruth and Sarsfielci led only two
provinces against Marlborough and William," and
" three or four countiesin '9B bad nearly ended British
dominion in this kingdom, ten or twelve are enough for
the work still."
Regarding the proclamations, the Nation says :
" The proclamations are mere waste paper and wasted
words. But they will be followed by acts, and for these
the people must prepare. But aro the people to come
alone into contact with the usurping Government ?
Where are the popular authorities ? What is the Lord
Mryor of Dublin doing ? Thes, are daily questions
asked in every street. The Lord Mayor is doing nothing,
and will do nothing. The people need not look to him,
except it be to precipatate him from office before his
time, an act of mercy' to the city cursed by his care, in
which we wish them all speed and success."
FURTHER ARRESTS.

In all probability, before night sets in, Mr. Meagher,
Mr. M'Gee, and two other promin, at loaders of the Irish
Confederation, will be in custody charged with " felony."
MEASURES UNDER THE PROCLAMATIONS.
The police are already actively engaged seizing upon
all arms found in the possession of unlicensed personF.
Applications for liberty to have and carry arms are
rigidly investigated. No clubbist need apply, while
men of good character will meet with no difficulty in
obtaining liberty to keep their weapons. The Freeman

says—
" The applications are in every instance made through
the divisional inspector of police, and by them, after
having instituted the above inquiries, referred to the
licensers, Mr. O'Farrell and Colonel Browne. We under-
stand that the Government have become tenants of the
house at the rear of the Committee-rooms of the Irish
League, which are situated between the Head Police-
office and the Lower Castle-yard."
KILKENNY.
(From the Moderator.)
The Government, in the meantime, seems to have
taken, for the nonce, a wise step in calling a general
system of police surveillance to the clubs—such a healthy
end well-regulated method of ascertaining the material
of those bodies as will deprive them of much of their
danger. A return is ordered from every police district
of the clubs within its boundaries, particularising place
and time of meeting, names of president and secretary,
whether or not their proceedings are public, and the
number and rank of its members. By this means it will
be easily ascertained what is the strength, influence, and
danger of each of those secret societies, and which of
them, should such measures afterwards become neces-
sary, may be indicted for conspiracy. It will also have
the effect of preventing drilling, which has been going on
in the club-rooms, and it is altogether satisfactory to
know that steps are being taken, even though they may
not be so decided as they ought, for counteracting the
mischief of these societies.
The Clonmel Chronicle reports as follows from Car-
rick-on-Suir
" The police force in Carrick-on-Suir was on Wednes-
day augmented by the addition of fifty sub-constables,
drawn from the reserves at the different stations through-
out the south riding. This will, with the military and
the constabulary already stationed there, form a force
more than sufficient for the preservation of order in the
disturbed locality. Carrick- on-Suir has been a little
more settled the last day or two, but even here the
people appear determined to have a stand-up fight, and
ready to turn out at a moment's notice. A man was met
yesterday (Thursday) walking deliberately into Carrick
with a pike over his shoulder; and we are informed that
within the last few days all the young ash trees near
town have been cut down for the purpose of being made
into pike handles."
The same journal gives the following regarding Mr.

" have been informed that informations were
sworn at Waterford, on Wednesday last, against Mr.
Doheny, for delivering a seditious speech on Sunday, at
the Slievnaman meeting. If this be so, and his arrest
effected, he will be tried in Clonmel at the present as-
sizes."

The Cork Examiner (Repeal paper) states that " Oa
Wednesday evening considerable excitement was caused
in the city in consequence of the arrival of four pieces
of cannon and one mortar, together with a lot of ammu-
nition, and a large body of artillery. Two or three
troops of Lancers escorted the cannon to the barracks,
and were loudly groaned on their way to the barracks
and their return to Ballincollig, by a vast body of people,
who were much excited because of the proclamations
which were posted through the city, and which, by the
way, were perfectly unintelligible fifteen minutes after
being posted, the populace having in nearly every in-
stance besmeared them with mud."

A DEPOT OF FIRE-ARMS IN CARLOW.
On yesterday (says the Carlow Sentinel) a large van
arrived in this town, containing several hundred stand
of arms, to he disposed of openly by sale in Dublin-
street and every fair and market. The owner has had a
brisk and extensive sale in this county on a former occa-
sion, but at this moment the opening of a mart for the
wholesale disposal of firearms is a circumstance that
cannot fail to create apprehension in the public mind.
We warn the Government of the consequences of per-
mitting the establishment of such depots in this county
at the present crisis ; and we trust the local magistracy
will, without a moment's delay, demand instructions
from the Executive how to set in this emergency. If
the Government decline to interfere, then let it be respon-
sible for the result, When certain counties in Ireland
are proclaimed all but in open rebellion, it would amount
to a positive connivance at insurrectten to allow the
peasantry to arm themselves at these depots with pikes
and rifles.

NENAGIL
(From the Guardian.)
Rumour is already busy
in this neighbourhood. We
have learned that upwards of 6,000 club men, of course
armed, aro to march inw Nenagh on the 2d of August,
to watch the trial of Mr. Doheny, for the purpose, we
presume, of intimidating the jurors, or, if not success-
ful in so doing, to break open the county gaol, if he be
found guilty. This would be sheer madness, inasmuch
as the military force in our town, although small in
comparison with such numbers, would be sufficient
(although not exceeding 400 men) to drive them into
the Shannon. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary that
the Government should be forced to act promptly, and
coerced into the suppression of these clubs, for the
orderly and peaceably should not be left to such a con-
tingency as the mercy of an armed band of lawless
butchering rebels.

" TO THE PEOPLE OF WATERFORD.
"Fellow Citizens—The English Government have this
day issued a proclamation declaring you disqualified to
bear arms—declaring, therefore, that you have forfeited
the first privilege of free citizens. This is another act
of despotism—threatening the liberties of the country—
testing the patience and the heroism of the people. It
is done to surprise—to alarm—to intimidate. It shall
not do so. It has come too late. You know your
duties well, and you will have the virtue to fulfil
them. In Limerick, in Carrick, in Tipperary, the
Arms Act has been in force for many months
—and in those districts it has neither dismayed the spi-
rit nor checked the organization of the people. Imitate
the example of these gallant men. Be firm, be steady--
organizs calmly, speedily, and fearlessly. The men in
whom you now confide, and to whose ability and courage
you look for guidance and success, will not fail to give
you that advice which the perils of the day demand.
" I am, fellow-citizens,
" Your faithful and devoted servant,
" THOMAS FRANCIS MEAGHER.
" God save the people.

BISHOP MAGINN.
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Derry (Dr. Maginn)'
with 90 of his priests, have joined the Repeal League.
Although all laymen regard the League as nothing more
nor less than the Irish Confederation under a new name,
Dr. Maginu and his 90 priests have resolved, among
other opinions, the following:—
" 1. Having maturely considered the proposed terms
for a reunion or all sections of Repealers, to be hence-
forth called ' The Irish League,' it affords us the sin-
c, rest gratification to find that they are such as we can,
without any dereliction of our peace principles, conscien-
tiously approve; and, notwithstanding what has been
said to the contrary, we have full confidence in the
honesty of purpose and patriotism of the parties to these
terms of reunion—that both their letter and spirit will
be undeviatingly adhered to in the League, so as to work
out Ireland's legislative independence by the concentra-
tion of public opinion, and means purely legitimate and
Christian,"
