r dt•licately intimated his regret that her MAJESTY had
allowed herself to be inveigled within the walls of a
Presbyterian kirk—are instances In proof of the truth
of our assertion; and now we find a third instance, in
the shape of an epistle, as " grand and verbose," as
that which TIBERIUS addressed to the Roman Senate,
which Sir ANDREW AGNEW has recently written to
the High Sheriff of Cavan, on his favourite
topic of Sabbath desecration. In this epistle,
whose logic is as loose as the spirit that pervades it
is straight-laced, the writer vehemently reproaches
the railways with their wickedness in allowing them-
selves to be run upon on Sundays, observing that
a "great desecration of the Lord's-day is caused by
every railway ;" and then proceeds to say :—" Is the
word of GOD to lose its power, as the sword of the
Spirit, on the human conscience, because in his provi-
,lence a new system of traffic has been developed ?
Undoubtedly there was with the MosT HIGH the
'oreknowledge of every shape and form of work and
traffic in this our day and generation ; and
:,he work of railways, both as to their for-
'nation and their traffic, is comprehended in the
cords, ' all thy works,' to be done in the six
.corking-days of the week." We infer from this that
-he omniscient CREATOR of the Universe foresaw that
he time would arrive when the Great Western and
Lll the other railways would be carried into execu-
tion, and, consequently, he had a special eye to them,
is well as to the spinning-jenny, the Thames Tunnel,
Lnd other " forms of work and traffic," when he laid
!own the law to man that he should work six days in
LIE! week, and rest on the seventh ! Sir ANDREW AGNEW
iS we believe, like most fanatics, a well-in-
tentioned person ; but is it possible to allude
in a more familiar, irreverent spirit to the
twful attributes of the DEITY, than he has
lone in the above passage ? Would any one but
himself have ever dreamed of representing his
CREATOR as endowed with a " foreknowledge" of
:he railway system ? The saintly Baronet next
goes on to recommend all railway proprietors to
tgitate the question of Sabbath desecration at their
)üblic and private meetings. "Freedom of speech
Ind of debate being given," he adds, "we can
eiterate our principle, and make all half-
:early meetings as so many Lord's- day
Yacicties, none being suffered to pass with-
nit hearing and sending abroad public testi-
nonies for the truth ; and we hare the highest
authority for believing that such faithfulness may be
Messed to the convincing of many who are now op-
Losed to us, for faith cometh by hearing." If Sir
VNDREW were to be one of the speakers at these
Meetings, we should be disposed to say—" sleep
.ometh by hearing," rather than " faith ;" but
Kissing this consideration, can any man con-
eive a more absurd proposition than that the
talf-yearly meetings of the railways should be
as so many Lord's-day Societies"—in other words,
hat they should constitute a strange jumble of busi-
less and piety, where the language of the ledger
hould be blended with the language of Scripture ;
mod exhortations to look sharp after the dividend be
Ahmed with exhortations to look sharp after their
mmortal souls ?

" I feel," writes Mr. CARUS WILSON, in a letter
.0 the Times, remarkable for the force of its corn-
,osition, and the moderation of its tone—"l feel
hat I am a prisoner in this vile custody for life, and
that the Habeas Corpus Acts are a dead letter. The
loyal Court of Jersey has no power to bail me ; it
mows not even the form of a recognisance ; and if
he Court of Queen's Bench cannot release me by
itabeas corpus, it most assuredly cannot release me on
'jail." The case of this gentleman—the victim of the
,)etty resentments of some trumpery authorities in
Jersey, on whose proceedings he is charged with
having expressed himself with (what here in Eng-
!and would certainly not be considered) " undue
warmth," is of course fully within the recollection
of our readers. In former articles we have demon-
,trated the enormous oppression inflicted upon him,
an English subject, by the vindictive and insolent
conduct of one of those bastard, "pie-poudre" courts
,f legal vexation, which, under such sounding
names as "Royal Courts," with " Grand Baillis"
end small Viscounts, still survive to plague honest
men, the QUEEN'S lieges, in the Channel Islands.
On former occasions we were certainly disposed to
be amused with, but at the same time to treat with
contempt, the ridiculous pretensions of these irascible
insular magistrates and " Crown officers" (Gon help
us!), to a species of consecrated infallibility, unre-
bukable even by the wholesome censures of that
chartered libertine, the Press. We could conceive
nothing more ridiculous than the unsuspecting gravity
with which M. le Bailli DOGBERRY, running his head
against M. le Grand Jurat VERGES, in his haste to
mount the judgment-seat of the Cour Royale, inti-
mated his conviction that " the eyes of all Europe
were upon them"—(as some Duke-street tailor said,
a few years ago, when there was a public meeting of
the masters to consider what " measures " were to
be taken with their revolted men). We were tickled
with the professional vanity of the Attorney-General
—(for such an office, or something tantamount to it,
forms part of the judicial state of this modern Bara-
taria, just as a popular Lenore, or a foreign ballet-
master, has, now-a-days, on his staff a secretary)--
of the Jersey Attorney-General, who was willing to
do his duty, on the condition of Mr. CARUS WU..
SON'S previously apologising to the Court for having
done that which it was of the essence of his case to
show was nothing wrong, and therefore not to be
punished, and still less to be apologised for. From
the indecent "ribaldry," as Mr. WILSON justly
terms it, of the Judge who presides in this island
Court, it would seem as if a real GULLIVER were
once more entrapped and tied down by the spiteful
little people of a new Lilliput. They quarrel even
,with his stature. But really their worrying has
grown into a serious nuisance ; and this nuisance
must be put down.
Were we inclined, or did we imagine our readers
disposed, to go once more into the legal argument on
this case, or to discuss the startling speech of the
Solicitor-General, and the opinion avowed by Mr.
Justice PATTESON the other day in the Bail Court, on
application to have a rule for the return, in WILSON'S
case, to a writ of habeas corpus, already granted by
the Queen's Bench, enlarged, we should but weaken
the very able appeal contained in the prisoner's letter
already alluded to. And what does that letter esta-
blish ? An unanswerable case of a grievance and a
punishment, hopeless, irremediable, absolute in the
event of the Court of Queen's Bench finally deter
mining in terms of its last sentence. No one a

tempts to vindicate the lower Court, the Jersey tri-
bunal—its law, its finding—or the conduct of its
members. No one attempts to deny, now, that it is
well there is a Governor on the island of so much ac-

customed determination as General Narma ; for,
really, to judge from the case now before us, there is
no saying to what mischievous lengths the folly of
the civil authorities might not be pushed, were it
not restrained by the consciousness of being watched.
But who is now to move the remedial aid of the law
of the Imperial United Kingdom to the help of Mr.
CARUS WILSON, wrongfully and disgracefully im-
prisoned in an insular nook of its vast territory ? It
is evident that this must be done. Mr. WILSON must
not be left to perish, because Sir FREDERICK TIIESI-
GER does not happen to be particularly well read in
the history and law of writs, or to have studied the
legal philosophy and constitutional learning of FUL-
TON'S treatise, "De Pace Regis et Regni ;" or be-
cause Mr. Justice 2ATTESON has been induced by
Sir FREDERICK to express his regret that the Court
of Queen's Bench had previously issued the writ with-

out due consideration. Mr. WILSON has put this

case in a most touching and impressive manner. His
persecution has eventuated, hitherto, in the loss of his

personal liberty ; that deprivation may be prolonged

to the loss of his life. In any point of view he has

been illegally and tyrannically treated by the petty

jurisdiction from which he has appealed. His suf-
ferings have been aggravated by those circumstances

of insult and cruelty to which his letter recurs.
Shall he be left to perish ? Is the QUEEN'S writ for

the vindication of the most sacred privilege reserved

to Englishmen, by the whole tenor of her statute,

and even common law—as well prior to as through
the passing of the Habeas Corpus Act, and subse-

quently to that mighty event—to be repudiated and
.. .

dishonoured by the magistracy of Jersey ? We trust
that the highest legal authority in the kingdom will
instantly interpose his powerful representations in the

proper quarter to induce the reconsideration of the ex-

tension of this writ, and to compel a prompt, unequivo-
eating, and respectful return to that which the
Queen's Bench had already granted, so as to brisig
