ENGLAND AND AOIERICA.

On the three days' later news from New York, by
the Bohemian, the English funds opened yesterday
morning at an improvement of a quarter per cent.,
but there was again considerable dulness at the
close. The first price of Consols was 90i to gg, whence
a decline took place to 90, and the final bargains
were at 90f. The declaration stated to have been
made by President Lincoln, that there need be no
fear of war unless Great Britain should seek a
" pretext" for hostilities, was seen, upon reflection,
to be a repetition of the injurious tone hitherto so
universally manifested, and of the reliance enter-
tained that we shall be glad by any adroit contriv-
ances that may be suggested to find an excuse for
submitting to all indignities, rather than a trust-
worthy sign of any disposition to yield a prompt
reparation. A hint that the victim of an outrage
is anxious for a quarrel seems, to business persons,
as little calculated to excite expectations of a readi-
ness for a just settlement as a proposal for arbitra-

that the fact that the Washington Cabinet "feel no
anxiety on the subject" may possibly be attributed
much more to the immunity that has attended pre-
vious aggressions than to a resolution to meet all
proper requirements in the present case, the call of
the President for an immense outlay for works of
offence against the Canadian frontier being little in
harmony with a pacific hypothesis. The fear, in fact,
is that the confidence of Mr. Seward and his col•
leagues is based simply on the belief that an apology
for the mode in which the recent offence was com-
mitted will for the time answer all purposes, and
that Messrs. Mason and Slidell may be indefinitely
retained for a discussion between the two countries,
which may be brought to the required degree of bit-
terness whenever an opportune moment may seem
to have arrived. Nevertheless, the English public
aro as anxious now as from the first to find that the
object of all these demonstrations has been simply
to serve party purposes at home, and that the
answer to Lord Lyons may be such as to restore
the Federal Government to a position of dignity
—Times City _Article.

At York assizes, yesterday, Waller, the poacher,
who shot a gamekeeper in the neighbourhood of Otley, a
few weeks ago, was found guilty of wilful murder, and was
sentenced to death.

211 E WINDHAM CASE,—(27tis Day).

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

(Before Samuel Warren, Esq., Q.C., Master in Lunacy,

and a Special Jury.)
FOURTH DAT.

The Marquis of Bristol was examined this morning by
Mr. M. Chambers, with respect to the conduct of Mr.
Windham previous to the attaining of his majority. He
said,—l have seen Windham during his earlier years in a
state that appeared to be bordering upon idiotcy.
BylMr. Karslake—l saw Windham at his father's funeral.
From 1854 until the present year I have not seen much of
Mr. W indham. After the Easter of 1861 Windham dined
with me. I did not invite him, he called of his own accord.
On the first occasion there was a small family party.
In a fortnight after that ho dined with me again.
After dinner he went into the drawing-room, and
it was noticed that his speaking and laughing
was peculiar. There was something foolish about it, but I
cannot say whether it was caused by malformation in the
mouth. When I met Mr. 'Windham riding in Rotten-row
the recognition was mutual. He passed me and went on.
By Mr. Coleridge—l was first asked to intervene in this
matter by General Windham, through my brother.
By Mr. Chambers—General Windham wrote to me about
this inquiry, and asked me to communicate with my brother.
I concurred in the propriety of the present investigation.
I attributed Windham's peculiarities to his want of wisd3m
more than anything else. I have not had much opportunity
of seeing him since my sister's marriage. _

Mr. Horrocks was recalled, and, in answer to Mr. Cham-
bers, said Mr. Windham was habitually in the habit of ill-
treating his horses.

Mr. Kerslake objected to this re-examination, as the
witness had in his examination in chief said Mr. Wind-
ham's cruelty was confined to one animal.
Witness continued—l have seen a photograph of Mr.
Windham. He was the chief figure in the group ; the
other two persons in the picture were dressed as railway
guards or porters.

By Mr. Karslake—l will swear the two persons were
dressed as guards. I did not go to a solicitor last night and
tell him he had forgotten to examine me about the photo-
graphs. I have seen a picture of the :contest between
ILonan and Sayers. I know it contains the portraits of
many of the young noblemen of England, but I did not
recognise any of my friends as being there.
By the Master—l recollect Windham telling me he was
personally acquainted with Tom Sayers. I will not swear
that Bell's Life was not taken in at Fellbrigg for Sunday
reading; I can't recollect positively.
Lord Alfred Harvey, one of the sons of the Marquis of
Bristol, examined by Mr. Chambers, said—l was sue
of the guardians of Mr. Windham, in 1858. I recollect
Windham before he went toEton. On one occasion he was
charged with putting his hand into a tart, at luncheon, and
he did not deny it. I was presext at the funeral of his
father. I recollect he behaved in a very unbecoming
manner. When I became his guardian he was
allowed money, but he never seemed to have
a sixpence in his pocket. His conduct at his
father's funeral in the church was very strange. He ap-
peared to be entirely overcome.
The Master—With liquor ?

Witness—No, your honour, with sorrow. He sobbed
very loudly and immoderately. I never asked him what
he did with his money. Ho never seemed to have the
slightest idea himself how he got rid of it. I recollect
Windham being at my father's in 1858. In the dining
room be conducted himself very discreetly, but after dinner
he disappeared, instead of coming into the drawing
room. I was anxious to know what he had been
doing after he left the dining room. For two
or three days I was unable to do so, but I eventually dis •
covered he had been with my father's servants, withiiis coat
off and his shirt sleeves tucked up, helping them to clear
away the dinner. I called him out of the place when I dis-
covered him doing the same thing on another occasion, and
reproached him for acting in such a way. I have known
Windham speak untruths so transparent as to be easily
detected. They were such remarks as would convince any
person that he himself did not believe a word he was utter-
ing.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

LATIG .INTELLIGENCE.-(7HIS DAY.)

COURT OF ARCHES.
(Before Dr. Lushington.)

THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY V. THE REV. DR. WILLIAMS

•44 ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.'

This morning the questions arising out of the publication
of " Essays and Reviews" came before this court.
The "articles" filed by the Bishop against Dr. Williams
are 22 in number. The first declares that all ecclesiastical
persons who have been admitted into holy orders ought to
adhere to and maintain with constancy and sincerity the
doctrines and teaching of the Church, and that for impugn-
ing those doctrines they ought to be punished and corrected
according to the gravity of the offence and the exigency of
the law. Articles 2 to 6 declare that Dr. Rowland Williams
is a person in holy orders, vicar of Broad Chalke, and his
share in the volume called "Essays and Reviews:" Article
7 is as follows :—" And we article and object to you,
the said Rev. Rowland Williams, that in the said article,
essay, or review, are contained the following passages, that
is to say, ' As in Egypt our author sifts the historical date
of the Bible, so in his Gott in ‘fer Gesichte he expounds its
directly religious element. Lamenting, like Pascal, tho
wretchedness of our feverish being, when estranged from
its eternal stay, he traces, as a countryman of Hegel, the
Divine thought bringing order out of confusion. Unlike
the despairing school, who forbid us trust in God or in con-
science, unless we kill our souls with literalism, he finds
salvation for men and States, only in becoming acquainted
with the Author of our life, by whose reason the world
stands fast, whose stamp we bear in our forethought, and
whose voice our conscience echoes. In the Bible, as an
expression of devout reason, and therefore to be read with
reason and freedom, ho finds records of the spiritual
giants whose experience generated the religious atmosphere
we breathe." Lengthened extracts are given from pages 77
and 78 of the volume in reference to prophecy, particularly
to one in which discredit is thrown upon several books of
the Old Testament. These opinions, it is alleged on the Part
of the bishop, are antagonistic to the 6th, 7th, and 20th
of the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion—that portion of the '
Nicene Creed which declares in substance that the Holy
Ghost spake by the Prophets, and that portion of Scrip-
ture (Hebrews i.) appointed in the Book of Common
Prayer to be read in the Epistle for Christmas-day. In
the remaining articles various other passages in the work
are cited as being at variance with the doctrine of the
Church of England.
Dr. Deane, on the part of the Rev. Mr. Williams,
opened the argument, and contended that there was nothing
in the work in question inconsistent with free exercise of
opinion by a minister of the Church of England, and that
the question was rather one of literary criticism than of
divinity.
The case will occupy the court for some days.

DEFENCES OF 70R03170.

(From the Toronto Leader.)

The defences of Toronto are now being rapidly
strengthened in anticipation of the occurrence of
anything unpleasant in the relations of Great Bri-
tain with the neighbouring Republic. At the old

Fort, commanding the western entrance to the har-
nicheenseetdo
ofth eerceiottyi,ngthae
most active preparations are being made. Tuesday
new battery of ten guns on the south side of the
barracks, overlooking the extensive warehouses
of the Grand Trunk Railway, the Queen's wharf
and the channel. Two hundred men of the
30th Regiment were detailed for the duty,
and at three o'clock marched out to work
armed with pick-axes and shovels. They ap-
peared quite jubilant at the prospect—remote as
we trust it is—of active operations in the field, and
set about their work, under the superintendence of
an offi.!er of the Royal Engineers, with a readiness
and spirit characteristic of the British soldier. The
breastwork on which they are employed will ex-
tend nearly the whole south front of the parade-
ground, and will ba a sizong and formidable work.
The guns to be mounted upon it—or rather behind
it—are sixty pounders, with one large Armstrong
gun which will command nearly the whole harbor.
The timber for the platforms, &c., is now on the
ground, sawn and otherwise prepared for immedi-
ate use. There is an old earthwork, with a three
gun battery, on this side of the fort, but it has
for years bean crumbling away and now does not
rise more than three feet above the surface
of the parade-ground. The battery has
been dismantled and most of the wood-work carried
off. The new earthwork will be raised about ten
feet inside of the old, and will have a base apparently
of about 20 feet. There are now on the ground
upwards of 20 old smooth-bore cannon, " honey-
combed" with rust, and long since condemned.
The carriages for the new metal arrived by rail
yesterday and were hauled to the barracks on
Messrs. Hendrie and Shedden's heavy waggons.
The guns are expected to arrive to-day or to-
morrow. Very little information with regard
to the work is to be gained on the ground. The
officer in charge, on being asked by our
reporter, said he knew little further than
the fact that it was to be a ten gun battery,
and that little he was not at liberty to com-
municate. The work is apparently to be pushed for-
ward in great haste, 200 men being detailed every
day for the purpose. They receive extra pay for the
labour, and appear exceedingly anxious to be em-
ployed. It is reported at the garrison that it is
intended to extend the fortifications along the bank
of the lake to the new fort, planting batteries in
all for 36 heavy cannon ; and that, in addition, a
heavy battery is to be erected on the north-
west angle of the fort overlooking the ravine
and commanding the Great Western and
Northern Railways. It is also reported that
tents for ten thousand men are to be erected on
the common between the two forts ; and that
works are to be constructed at the eastern end of
the city, somewhere in the neighbourhood of the
Don river. What truth there is in these rumours
we have no reason of judging, but they probably
arise from the fact of the council of military autho-
rities lately held in Quebec, and the recent visit of
his Excellency the Commander of the Forces in
this city. A great deal of interest is taken in the ,
warlike preparations now going on, and many of
our citizens yesterday visited the fort for the pur-
pose of satisfying their curiosity. Although guards
are mounted at the gates no obstacle is presented to
an entrance, and visitors are at liberty to roam at
will through the barracks and grounds.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

A full average supply of beasts, in g•od condition, was
on offer in our market to-day, and for most breeds the de-
mand ruled steady, at Monday's currency, the best Scots
having sold at 5s per 81bs. Sheep, the show of which was
rather limited, moved off slowly on former terms. The top
quotation was 5s 6d per 81bs. Although the supply of
calves was small, the veal trade was in a sluggish state, at
barely stationary prices. Prime small porkers commanded
full currencies, but large hogs were a dull inquiry. In
mulch cows very little was doing.

The following is a copy of a memorial addressed
to Lord Palmerston and Earl Russell by the Reli-
gious Society of Friends :

" To VISCOUNT PALMERSTON, K.G., FIRST LORD OP THE
TREASURY, AND EARL RUSSELL, PRINCIPAL SECRE-

"The undersigned, acting on behalf of the Society
of Friends throughout Great Britain, request the
considerate attention of the First Lord of the Trea-
sury and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
to a few observations on the present critical aspect
of affairs between this country and the United
States of North America, offered as they are under
a strong sense of religious duty.
"We have on former occasions so fully stated our
conviction that all war is unlawful for the Christian
that it is needless now to repeat it. But there are
circumstances connected with the present difficul-
ties between the two countries of so marked and
peculiar a character as, in our apprehension, to
justify this special appeal to Government.
" 1 here are, perhaps, no two independent nations
on the face of the earth so closely united together
as England and America, by the combined ties of
blood, of language, of religion, of constitutional
freedom., and of commercial interest, and no two
nations between whom a war would be a more open
scandal to our common Christianity, or a more seri-
ous injury to the welfare and progress of the human
race.

" The hatred of a brother when once offended is
a proverb. Nor were the feelings which existed
between England and America after the War of
Independence and the war respecting the rights of
neutrals by any means an exception to this pro-
verbial truth, By degrees, however, animosity and
mutual suspicion subsided. The reciprocal visits of
enlightened travellers, the vast increase of com-
mercial relations, and the healthy emulation in
Christian philanthropy, in science, and in literature,
were, under the Divine blessing, producing an im-
proved tone of both personal and national feeling,
when at length, in 1860, the visit of the heir appa-
rent of the British Throne to the Canadian pro-
vinces and to the United States seemed to complete
the entente cordiale between the two countri( s. It is
little than 12 months since English subjects and
American citizens were alike rejoicing in this
healthy condition of the relations between these two
great divisions of the Anglo-Saxon race.

" Now, however, with sadness of heart we see all
this sorrowfully changed, and a question of inter-
national law which, if it could be submitted to a
competent tribunal of able jurists, whether Euro-
pean or American, or to the mediation or arbitra-
ment of any independent State, might probably in
a few hours be settled to the satisfaction of all par-
ties,appears to be in imminent danger of occasioning
a vast destruction of human life, a prodigious waste
of treasure, a total interruption of trade and social
intercourse, and an incalculable amount of moral
evil; while it is just as impossible, in the nature of
things, for the question of right or wrong to be
really cleared up by such an appeal to the sword, as
it was for the guilt or innocence of the accused in
medimval times to be settled by the wager of battle
or the passage over burning ploughshares.

" Under these circumstances we look with confi-
dence to the Government and legal advisers of cur
beloved Queen, fully believing it is their honest de-
sire that so awful and so unnecessary a calamity—
we might say so great a national sin—as a war
with America should be averted. In this confidence
we are emboldened respectfully to ask whether it
is not possible to use the interval which must neces-
sarily elapse between the transmission of the views
of the British Cabinet to Washington and the arri-
val of the reply in preparing so to meet that reply,
whatever it may be, that the next step may not be
a declaration of war, but the putting of the remain-
ing issue, if any, between the two countries in
train for a pacific decision.

" We rejoiced to see the principle of arbitration
strongly recommended by the Plenipotentiaries of
the European Powers who were parties to the treaty
of Paris. Where a prospective provision of this
kind exists in international treaties, any difficulty
which may arise would naturally take the course
thus prescribed for the settlement before the question
of right becomes merged in the storm of passion.
And though there may be no such prospective pro-
vision applicable to the present difficulty, we would
respectfully submit that it may not be too late for
our Government, strong in the consciousness of
right, to propose such a reference, should the reply
from Washington not contain the happy and peace-
ful termination of the dispute. There are many cir-
cumstances in the present position of England
which enable her to maintain a perfectly tempo-
rate and conciliatory attitude; and would it not
seem ungenerous to drive matters to extremities
with the United States at the time when they are
engaged in a struggle for their national integrity,

f not for their national existence ?
" May we, then, as Christians, appeal to the en-

lightened rulers of this highly professing Christian
country, imploring them, while commendably vigi-
lant for the interests and the character of England,
to endeavour to follow out the Gospel rule of doing
as they would be done by—a rule Lot less binding
on nations than on individuals ? But, though we
thus address those whose counsels direct the State,
and with whom may rest the final decision for
peace or for war, we are all well aware that much
depends upon the avoidance of all exasperated feel-
ing on the part of the public at large, often too
ready to encourage a war at the first outbreak of
difficulties ; and we greatly desire that a thoroughly
pacific temper may be maintained and increase
among us as a nation, and especially that it may
be promoted by all those who profess to preach the
Gospel of peace. There may have been words as
well as deeds on the part of the Government or the
people of the United States which have tried the
temper and the patience both of our statesmen and
of our fellow-countrymen generally; but it is surely
more truly dignified, as well as more truly Chris-
tian, to meet provocation with a calm reference to
law, than to exhibit a retaliatory spirit.
"We would further suggest that, after the vast
sacrifices which England has made for the abolition
of the slave trade and slavery in our own posses-
sions, and by other countries, which has been an
object so consistently promoted through life by the
statesmen whom we are now addressing, it would
be deeply humiliating if, by being involved in this
war, our country should ultimately find itself in
active co operation with the South and slavery
against the North and freedom ; though, in saying
this, we do not intend to express our approval in
all respects of the course pursued by the North in
reference to slavery.

" We may, perhaps, be permitted to mention, as
an additional reason for our strong advocacy of the
preservation of peace with America, that as the
principal founders of two of its States, and many of
the original settlers of other States, were our bre-
thren in religious profession, between whose de•
scendants and ourselves a cordial correspondence
has been maintained for nearly two centuries, we
have a special religious as well as national interest
in the question. And though the Government of
those States has long passed into less pacific hands,
yet our brethren tharo still have a considerable in-
fluence on their State Legislatures, and their voice
has often been heard with effect in Washington.
We shall, therefore, at once apprise our American
friends of the step which we have now taken, and
shall urge them also to use their influence in fur-
therance of the cause of peace.

" May He who still ruleth in the earth by His
providence as well as by His grace grant that the
wisdom which is from above, and which is pure,
peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, may so
prevail in the councils of the two Governments and
in the hands of the people that the impending scourge
of war may be averted from the kindred nations on
each side of the Atlantic, and from the waters of that
ocean which should unite rather than divide them.

trating this crime, the murderers ransacked the house and
carried off a considerable sum of money and several articles
