CARDINAL WISEMAN.

At the conclusion of_ the ordinary business of the
court at Guildhall, on Saturday, a gentleman appeared
before Alderman Challis, to ask his advice relative to a
point of general interest at the present time. He wished
to know whether the late innovation by the Pope of
Rome upon the rights of the Sovereign of this country
rendered his emissaries, or those executing his com-
mands, liable to any penalty? He had in his band an
Act of Parliament, passed in 1846 (9 & 10 Vic., c. 59),
wherein it repealed certain Acts to enforce pains and
penalties upon individuals for holding religious opinions
contrary to the forms of the Established Church. One
of the clauses, however, though it touk away the penalty
for " bringing in and putting in execution of bulls, writ-
ings, or instruments, and other superstitious things, from
the see of Rome, enacted that the same should be consi-
dered an offence against the law. Under this Act, was
the conduct of Cardinal Wiseman. in carryine• out the
instructions of the Pope, an offence punishable by a
common information before a magistrate?
Alderman Challis said that the Act alluded to by the
party before hitn certainly took away the penalties in-
stituted by the 13th of Elizabeth, cap. 52; but at the
same time any one might, be thought, constitute himself
a prosecutor and complain of Dr. Wiseman (or any one
else, acting in a similar manner, to forward the views of
his Holiness) before any. justice of the peace of the dis-
trict in which' the offence was committed. He had no
doubt that, a little imprisonment would do the Cardinal
some good, but he would not like to send him to prison.
However, he anticipated there would be no necessity to
take such a step, as it was reported that the Cardinal
had already received notice to quit London in forty-
eight hours.

DESTRUCTION OF COCKERMOUTII CHURCII, CUM-
BERLAND, BY FIRE.—We regret to state that the ancient
and beautiful church at Cockermouth, Cumberland, was de-
stroyed by fire on Friday morning. Scarcely a portion, with
the exception of the walls and the tower, is left standing.
The fire must have broken out about two o'clock in the
morning. An individual who passed by about half-past one
o'clock, states that the church was then sate. A policeman,
however, named Chapman, observed flames issuing from the
edifice soon afterwards, and he gave an instant alarm. The
whole town was soon in commotion, and the utmost activity
was displayed in endeavouring to put a stop to the progress
of the lire. Only one engine, however, was available, and
there being butli small supply of water, every exertion was
useless, and of this beautiful church scarcely anything is left
but a heap of ruins. We believe that most of the church
books and valuable records were preserved. It is, however,
melancholy. to state that the valuable paintings in the
church, winch were so much admired, were destroyed. The
church which is destroyed, or chapel of ease as it has some-
times been called, was dedicated to All Saints. It was a
magnificent building, and was situated on an eminence at the
head of Kirkgate, Cockermouth. The church was enlarged
and beautified in 1825. The Rev. Edward Fawcett, M.A.,
the present curate of the church, has held the living a great
many years. The occurrence has been a very severe blow
to him. It is at present supposed that the fire was caused
by same pipes which had just been laid in the chancel to
warm it through the winter.

The Lord Chancellor, in the course of an argument
on the working of an Act of Parliament, observed on Satur-
day, that he once heard a distinguished person describe the
distinction between the English and the Irish to consist in
this, " that the English contrived to make bad laws work
while the Irish contrived to make good laws fail."
EXETER HALL.—The Hall will be reopened on
Friday, the 29th instant, with a performance of the Messiah
by the Sacred Harmonic Society.

IRRIGATION IN
We have of late had repeated occasion to nOticeethe
magnificent schemes of irrigation. the froiebution-of
which has for some time past been in progress both its ,
the north-west provinces and in the iladraa presi-
dency ; and in connexion with the inhjeef of 'the-
preceding article this leads us to turn our ettdneion'---
to our own doors, where we have. river deltas
scarcely inferior in anything save magnitude to
those of the Nile, the Ganges, and- Godavery,
laying waste for want of water—rivers .of the
most magnificent dimensions flowing past, and
pouring their unproductive treasures into the ocean.
The Indus and the Taptee furnish examples of our
meaning ; were the bounty of nature there made use
of, and the unfailing stream applied to the irrigation
of the fertile but at present unproductive soils
every decade of years would pay back to Int
the cireital at the outset expended. A
single experiment nould in such cases suffice
to bring private enterprise into the field, were Govern-
ment not disposed to do more than show the example:
the example once shown, individual capitalists would
be delighted to relieve them of all future responsi-
bilities, and not only to improve the country for theist
without charge, hut to pay them for permission to in-
trcduce improvements. We some months back
mentioned an enterprise of this sort commenced,
and to a considerable extent carried out,
near Kurracbee, by one of a race remarkable
for anything but peaceful pursuits. An enter-
prising Belooch of Kelat made an offer to Sir C.
Napier to bring water from the hills to the sea in an
underground tunnel or crease, after the manner of
his country, without charge to the public, or further
recompense for himself than permission to hold the
lend he was able to irrigate for a term of years free
of charge. Several miles of the work were actually
executed, and may yet be seen on the line of road
from the camp to the crocodile tanks. We are not
aware of the reason of its discontinuance, but the pro-
jector, who would even in this way most probably
have found his reward, naturally preferred the plan of
his country to the much more economical plan of
bringing water direct from the Indus. The wonder-
ful tunnels that traverse Affghanistan are obviously
calculated, in the first place, to trap nt, a sufficient
depth below the surface the springs which,
when exposed, dry up before the summer sun ;
and in the second place, to get over the diffi-
culty of surface undulations. The gain of avoid,
ance of evaporation from constant tunnelling, especi-
ally through ground where arching would be requi-
site, is much more than compensated by the primary
outlay and the limited capacity of a tunnel compared
to that of a canal. But it' the less desirable system
satisfied a Belooch that it would pay, how much more
likely would the substitute suggested ensure an ample
return ? The unfertilised portion of the delta of the
Indus is as nearly as possible identical in all its cha-
racteristics with that of the Nile beyond the limit
of the inundation ; both to the casual observer pre-
sent the appearance of a hard barren bed of clay—
when more minutely examined both turn out to be the
rich alluvia of the primary rocks of the distant
mountains mingled with the detritus of the soft ter-
tiary limestones which wall in the basins of both
rivers ; both are identical with those more favoured
portions of the delta rendered fertile by the overflow
of the stream ; and both are capable of being made, by
the application of wafer, equal in productiveness to the
most fertile of the lands which they adjoin. So it is with
the Taptee. From Domus by the sea to far beyond Su-
rat, and so southward towards Bombay, we have a vast
track of alluvial land—if less barren than the dessert
of Lower Sinde mainly indebted to the rains for what
fertility it possesses—for the greater part of the year
yielding nothing. The Court of Directors might
with perfect safety guarantee 10 or 20 per cent. on
money expended on enterprises undertaken for
the cultivation of such lands as these, with-
out the smallest fear of being called on for
a shilling after the work was once well begun;
and with the perfect certainty that whatever they
might at the outset advance would be paid back in
full so soon as returns began to come in, and re-
turned ultimately a hundred fold in the shape of the
improved productiveness of the country. In both
these cases Providence has provided with means of
conveyance for the produce it only requires the in-
dustry of man to bring into existence. Along the
margins, or through the centre of the promising
lands reproaching us as the authors of their herren-
ness, sweep the waters of the ocean or those of travi-
gable rivers, and the boat or buggolow could at once
receive its frieght from the fields whereon it.grew.—

THE ARCHBISHOP of NEW YORK.
In one of our morning contemporaries we find the
following very important official document, which
seems to have been the first issued by the newly-
created Archbishop cf this diocese since he received
the pallium from the Holy Father of Rome :
" New York, Oct. 22, 1860.
" Dear Sir,—Having been present at the first ex-
hibition of your panoramic views of the Island of
Cuba, I take great pleasure in expressing to you the
satisfaction which I experienced on that occasion. I
regard the views as of high artistic merit, and I can
conceive of no entertainment more innocent, interest-
ing, and einstructive than that which your evening
exhibition affords. Wishing you every success,
" I remain with sincere regard,
" Your obedient servant,
" JOHN, Archbishop of New York.
"Mr. 0. B. Loomis, New York."
The Archbishop's approval of this exhibition is
very important and very satisfactory. It reflects the
highest evidence upon his good taste and critics
judgment in the fine arts. But there are a number
of other interesting exhibitions to be seen in this
city—there is a wonderful collection of strange and
curious articles in Barnum's Museum, for example,
for which the certificate of the Archbishop might be
of great advantage, in the present crisis. The woolly
horse, of course, needs no apostolical affidavit, he hav-
ing been duly examined and pronounced upon by
Colonel Benton at Washington. But, seriously, it is
a matter of regret that Archbishop Hughes should
lend, his archiepiscopal authority to the puffing a
panorama. His positionis too high in the religious
world, and his duties too lofty to justify his de-
scending to such trifles as newspaper puffing of catch-
penny paintings.—. New York Herald,

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.
The inhabitants of the neighbouring town of Bury
have been thrown into a state of unusual excitement,
in consequence of a medical gentleman, of extensive
practice in his profession, and of considerable lite-
rary attainments, having suddenly disappeared from
the town and neighbourhood. Various conjec-
tures were entertained and expressed relative to the
cause of his unexpected absence; some attributing
it to his having business in London, others to the
indulgence of a capricious whim, while others
were suspicious that circumstances of a
more serious character would shortly be dis-
closed. The latter opinion proved to be the most
correct, for in a short time the Rev. Mr. Bell, Wes-
leyan minister in the Southport circuit, received the
distressing intelligence that his daughter, who was
governess in a respectable seminary in the neighbour-
hood of Soutbport, had suddenly taken• her departure
without giving previous notice of her intentions; and
as a gentleman bad been observed in, the neighbour-
hoop of the establishment whose conduct had excited
suspicion, there was reason to fear that an elope-
ment bad taken place. A combination of circum-
stances proved that the suspicion wat not without
foundation ; for the family of the medical gentleman,
consisting of a wife and four children, were soon
made sensible that the husband and father had sacri-
ficed " home and its relations" by seducing the
daughter of a Wesleyan minister, with whom the
family had been for some years on terms of intimacy.
During a period of two months previous to the
gentleman's departure this lady had been enjoying
the bracing air of one of the watering-places in
the northern division of Lancashire, and on her re-
turn home she had the mortification to find that
her husband bad on that very morning taken his
departure for London, having previously disposed
of his cattle, &c., as a means of increasing the amount
of money in his possession. In London the gentle-
man, whose name is Thomas Hatton Wardleworth,
sold his professional practice to Mr. Fletcher, sur-
geon, and gave him instructions to go ?immediately to
Bury, and take possession. Mr. Wardleworth is
known as an author, and as one of the proprietors of
the Bwry Observer, a monthly magazine, having an
extensive circulation in the locality. Several articles
from his pen have recently appeared, entitled " Home
and its Relations, by a Medical Man."—Manchester
Examiner.

A comparison of the present prices of wheat, flour,
and bread in London and Paris gives the following details:—
The highest price of wheat of the first quality in Paris is
24f. per 1% hectolitre, which is equal to 365. Sd. per quarter;
and the highest price of white wheat of the first quality in
London being 48s. per quarter, it follows that wheat is 30c.
dearer in London than in Paris. The highest quotation of
flour of the first quality in Paris is 'i9f. 95e. the 100 kilo-
grammes, which is equal to 295. :11d. per sack of 2801bs.
English ; and the highest quotation of flour in the London,
market being 40s. per sack, it follows that flour is about 33%
per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. The price of bread
of the first quality in Paris is 27c. per kilogramme, which, is
equal to 4%d. per' 41b. loaf English weight; and the price
of bread in London at the full-priced shops being 614 d. per
itthan

Wm. Smith, a plumber, residing at Mortlake. said, I
know Ann Sherlock and a woman who went by the name
of Edwards. She lived at Priest-bridge. Ann Sher-
lock lived as servant there. I went to the house, and slept
with Mrs. Edwards. I went to another bed-room in the
morning and found the defendant sleeping with Sherlock.
lam also acquainted with the defendant. I was not at
the Hen and Chickens, as it is called. on Wednesday
evening. I do not consider the plaintiff a modest wo-
man. I and a person named Challoner met her and
anoth'er girl on Warelsw6rth-common. They accom-
panied us to a public-house., where they drank freely,
and Sherlock allowed us both to take indecent liberties
with her.
Cross-examined—l saw the plaintiff for the first time
lathe Bull at Mortlake. Mr. Challoner is a gentleman
residing at Richmond. I won't swear that I told the
defendant of the occurrence at the public-house. I am
94 years old.
~.William Bowen Challoner, also a young man, deposed
tpibis going to the public-house in company with the
last witness. After the plaintiff had sworn the child to
the defendant, I said to her, "I thought you were too
artful, Nance, to have a child." She said, "Itis a pity
you were not the father of the child, as you have just had
500/. a year left you." This was at the :police-office; I
nursed the child fir a few minutes and then left.—
(Laughter.) I have seen her frequently in the a 'mpany
of bad girls and gentlemen at a public-house at Putney.
Cross-examined—l have not quite 5001. a-year. I
have known the defendant three or four years; he was
in the same rowing club with me. He is quite a lad now.
Frederick Chapman said—l know Mr. Edwards, but
Mrs. Edwards is not his wife; she was his kept-woman.
I also had a kept-woman at the came house at Priest-
bridge, where Sherlock was servant. I am a solicitor.
Mrs. Edwards was a woman of the town; her real name
was Ashwan.

Henry Brown--I live at Mortlake and knew the plain-
WT. I once made an arrangement to take her to ere-
morne, and then to sleep with her at Mrs. Edwards's.
She did not go with me, as Mrs. Edwards was at home,
and she could not get out. She was an immodest girl.
I have seen her frequently in the company of girls of the
town. One of her companions is now in the penitentiary.
Cross-examined—l went to school with the defendant
and know him well. I went last Wednesday to the club
in the Strand where a lady takes the chair. I don't
know that it is celled the " Cock and Hen Club."
Charles Phillips, brother of the first witness, said he
remembered two
years ago Acne Sherlock telling
him abe had been behind the •seences at the London
Theatre, and had enjoyed z good lark. I always con-
sidered hq to be a girl of very bad character.
This closed the defendant's case.
Mr. Sergelbnt ALLEN etas then about to address the
jury in reply, when
The Learned JUDGE said, as he had to attend cham-
bers, he would be compelled to adjourn the case until
Monday.
The Foreman intimated that the jury
were quite
unanimous as to their verdict.
The Learned JUDIE.—I do not, see how the plaintiff
can hope to go on against the mass of evidence which
has been given. If the defendant's case had rested en-
tirely on the evidence of one or two witnesses, there,
perhaps, might have been some doubt on the subject ;
but when so many persons, several of whom seem to be
worthy of credence, corroborate the statements of each
other, I think the Learned Counsel may see:the propriety
of stopping at this stage of the case, but he is at liberty
to adopt what course he likes.
Mr. Sergeant ALLEN—Then I will consent to the
verdict being given at once.
The jury engaged in consideration for about ten
minutes, but were interrupted by
Mr. Sergeant Ammo, who said as they appeared
to entertain some doubt on the case, he would clam his
right to reply.
The case was then adjourned until Tuesday.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal.)
An unprecedented amount of inquiry, combined with
a large extent of business, has pervaded the mining
rauket this week, with a steadiness and freedom from
merely speculative feeling quite remarkable. Conse-
quently, all dividend-paying concerns are on the ad-
vance, and, in some cases, handsome profits are realis-
able upon transactions scarcely a month old, either from
the good opinion entertained of the particular invest-
ment, or an improvement in its prospects under-
ground—the result, in most eases, of vigorous
working and the power of capital. In the Tavis-
tock district, in particular, new and rich lodes of copper
anti lead are being continually developed, and attention
is strongly directed to that quarter, which participates
largely in the amount of business doing. Capitalists,
however, should be as much cautioned not to neglect
good progressing concerns, where the lodes have al-
ready besn seen, and their quality ascertained, as to
avoid the merely speculative and worthless onesl which
abound as usual, but whosem
nu hers will dailydiminish
under an improved organization for the dale and pur-
chase of mining share

A writer in the New Englander, explaining the
great things that temperance can do, says that it makes
" your up-and-down-man." This means " your clever,
bright, social, spunky, true, hardy, reliable, crisp, transpa-
rent, hearty, yes-and-no, decided, fresh as dew, all handed,
and all-aouled man. That's what he i 5, only the picture isn't

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY

A consignment of 60 tons of South Australian copper,i
from the Burra Barra Mine, has been received by
Messrs. Edwards, of Birmingham—the freight from tho
mine amounted to about 31. per ton. This is the first
arrival of copper from the colony in Birmingham, and,
as other supplies are expected, it has occasioned much
speculation on its probable effect on the price of that
metal. The quality is said to be excellent.
The Tamar Mines have sold 83 tons of silver-lead, at
181. 17s. 6d. per ton.
The first parcel of copper ore from East Wheal George,
21 tons 9 cwts., has been sold at 91. 17s. Bd. per ton, re-
alising net, 2161. ls. 3d.
The sale of silver lead from Wheal Golden was 39
tons, at 131. 1 ls. 6d„ realising 5291. Bs. 6d.
The new 36-inch steam stamping engine at Great
Wheal Baddern is at work, and will, it is expected, re-
turn ten tons of tin this moath. _ - -

•-• •o‘..
The report from Lamherooe Wheal Maria announces
the discovery of: a course of ore on the No. 2 lode, which
had been cut into nearly five feet, all good work, without
finding the south wall.
In the Caradon Vale report, the agent calls attention
to a splendid lead course which, when assayed, con-
tained 44 ozs. of silver to the ton, and is worth 14 in 20
for lead. For the ground explored, the improvement
has been unusually great: the agent expresses a high
opinion of the property.
A reported improvement in Bodmin Moor Consols has
occasioned an inquiry after the shares, end we are in-
formed that a number have changed hands at present
quotation.
At the Wheal Trelawny meeting, held at Liskeard on
the 12th instant, the accounts for June, July, and Au-
gust were presented, showing a balance in favour of
mine of 1,1701. 10s. 2d. The balance of last account
was 1,0551. 125.; by sale of ores, 6,245/.=-1,300/. 12s.
Mine cost for the three months, 5,074/. 9s. 10d. A divi-
dend of 21. 10s. was declared, leaving a balance to be
carried to next account of 9261. 2s. 2d.
At the Alfred Consols meeting there was a balance of
1,443/. 17s. 3d. in favour of the mine. The accounts
showed—Balance from last account 277/. 19s. 6d.; ore
sold in Sept., 1,3741. 4s. 6d.; Oct., 1,355/. 19s. 4d....
3,008/. 3s. 4d. Mine cost for Aug. and Sept., 1,2601. 4s.
Id.; dues, 12 months, 3041 2d.; leaving balance in hand,
1,4431. 17s. 3d. A dividend of 1/. per share (1,0241.)
was declared. The report of the mine continues
to be exceedingly favourable, and, including the ore sold
last week, amounting to 1,6741. Os. 11d., the costs on
which are nearly all paid, the assets exceed the liabili-
ties by about 2,000/. The next sampling is expected to
exceed 390 tons. A resolution was passed to divide the
shares into 5,120.

At the Hennock meeting, the financial statement
showed the receipts, by calls and waste timber, as 1,7081.
17s. To mine cost and merchants' bills (for 14 months)
to end of August, 1,4331. 18s. Bd.; miscellaneous ex-
penses (including secretary, engineer, travelling, &c.),
2181. 2s. 9d.; leaving balance in hand, 56/. 15s. 7d.; to
which is added, arrears of call, 2921. 13!.; ore in stock,
20/.==369/. Bs. 7d.-to meet the merchants' bills to end
of August, 216/. 19s. 2d.; September cost, 771. 7s. 10d.;
October (say) 601.; showing balance in favour of adven-
turers, 3691. Bs. 7d. A call of ss. per share was made.
At the East Balleswidden meeting, the financial
statement, from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, showed-Balance last
account, 40/. 12s. 4d ; by calls, 754=1151. 12i. 4d. To
sundry expenses, 16. 6s. 3d ; paid purser, on account,
