SUMMARY OF NEWS'

AND
Public eptitton.

" Who runs may regd."

POIZEIGN. •
The original columns of the Paris Journals are exclusively
on the approaching elections, and are without interest to the
general reader.
A letter in the Rhone gives the following additional par.
ticulara of the whirlwind at Chauffailes and its neighbourhood
on the 24th instant. Thirty houses were actually carried
away. Six persons of the same family were killed, others were
mutilated, .children were smothered in their cradles, carriages
were carried entire over the roofs of houses, plantations were
torn up, and the largest trees were transported to an immense
distance. . A manufactory for spinning thread had just been
constructed within half a league of Chauffailes. All the mason-
-work was finished, and the carpenters were putting on the roof
—not one- stone of, the building has, been left on another, nor
can it be discovered what is become of them. The roofs of
houses were carried off to great heights and left on eminences.
The church has been injured to the extent of 3,000 f. The
crops which were not taken off by the whirlwind, were cut
to pieces by the hail, which was of extraordinary size, as
large as hen-eggs in general, but at Chateauneuf of greater
bulk. The Cure of that place took upione hailstone which
was three inches across. Not less than twenty persons have
been killed."

The returns of the acounts of the Bank of France for the
quarter ending the 25th inst., have just been published. They
present the following results :—Actif the Bank had then in
hand—Cash, 223,190,860 f. ; discounts and loans, 166,763,449 f ;
branch banks, 39,354,328 f. ; rentes, public securities, and re-
serve fund, 64,187,1431. ; credits and various items, 218,600 f.
Total, 493,714,35.3 f. Passif : amount of bank notes in circu-
lation, and bills payable on demand, 226,691,4211. ; accounts
current, 179,008,304 f. ; capital and reserve, 81,900,000 f. ;
sundry items, 6,114,657 f. The discounts, advances, and
loans made during the quarter amounted to 242,450,300 f.
Movements of accounts, current (private), 2,132,022,700 f. ;
ditto (public), 234,516,700 f. General movement of the
Caisses, 2,541,879,000 f.
The new Spanish Ministers were, on the 22d, presented to
the Queen, who received them very graciously.
It was reported that General Rodil had sent orders to
General Zurbano to march against Barcelona at the head of
nine battalions. The most energetic and peremptory instruc-
tions had been forwarded in the mean time to the civil and mi-
litary authorities of Catalonia, arid it wa, believed that General
Van Halen would be superseded in the post of Captain General
of that principality by General Lorenzo, the present military
commander of Estremadura.

The Spanish Minister of Finance had rejected the offers Si ad e
by the contractors and the Bank of San Fernando, on account
of the first series (40,000,000) of the loan of 160,000,000 reals.
The Minister would not admit a greater discount than 15 per
cent., an:l the Patriota states that the Bank of San Fernando
had sent in a fresh proposition for the whole sum at that rate.
A letter from Rome, in the Augsburg Gazette, says : —" A
concordat which has been entered into with President Boyer
by Bishop Rosani, is at this moment before the Pope for his
approval. In the first instance a Bishop is to be appointed,
and as the religious state of St. Domingo is at a low ebb, there
will probably be an infusion of clergy from Europe. The
Archbishop of Lyons has proposed to send fifty priests from his
diocese, and the King of the French has generously offered to
send them to St. Domingo, free- of expense."
The Patriots of Madrid, of the 23d of June, has the following
paragraph The accounts from Valencia, Murcia, Extre-
madura, Galicia, and Castile, say that the greatest tranquillity
everywhere prevails, though there is no want of agitators in
►hose provinces. Since Escalante, the political chief of Madrid,
has tendered his resignation, it is affirmed that the Ministers
have advised the Regent not to accept it."

The decision arrived at by the Committee of the Stock Ex-
change on the " Mexican affair," has given anything but satis-
faction, except, perhaps, to the party immediately implicated.
To operate with such a letter in possession. to show it, and when
an effect has been produced by it to operate further, and contrari-
wise, when five 'minutes would have been sufficient to verify the.
report contained in it, is thought to be described by a very
mild term—" indiscretion." To repeat what may be detri-
mental to any party upon hearsay may be indiscreet when there
is no interested motive, but when money it made by such
repetition, the term becomes completely changed. It cannot
now be denied that the reputation of the Stock Exchauge is
damaged far beyond what it was before. The decision offers a
premium for the c irculation of false intelligence, and, sooner
or later, the proverb of " dog eat dog," will be lite-
rally fulfilled, since business will Le wholly confined
to those immediately connected with the markets among
themselves. In the present improved state of commu-
nication with foreign countries, when the time of an
arrival can be calculated almost to an hour, certainly to a day,
and but a short time intervenes between sending a letter
abroad and receiving an answer, nothing can be more
easy than to request an individual abroad to append a postscript
containing such and such information to a letter to be forwarded
by a particular steamer, which can be used or not, just as it may
be convenient. And then if it be, and the transaction be
brought before the proper tribunal, it is nothing but indiscre-
tion, although many may be ruined thereby.
A circular issued by an eminent colonial broker has at-
tracted some attention in the City, inasmuch as it has to
a certain extent departed from matters exclusively
commercial, and stepped a little into politics. The
great cause of the distress which at present exists among the
labouring classes is here attributed to the competition among
the manufacturers, whereby to meet the low prices consequent
thereon, they have reduced the wages by forty millicns a leer,
as compared with what they were a few years back, and conse •
quently have had less by that sum to lay out in the necessaries
of life; to this, together with the Poor-law, is traced all the evil.
It may be noticed that the general opinion in the City is iden-
tical to that above expressed, and that it is borne out by the
intelligence from all parts of the world, complaining of over-
stocked markets.
Papers have been received from Rio to the 12th of May, but
contain no news. Exchanges on England 271 d. By this
arrival accounts from Monte Video of April 29, bringing the
important intelligence that General Rive:a had been elected
Supreme Director, of the war against Roses, and that Admiral
Brown had given up his command, for reasons which had been
published, but which do not appear in these papers.

-WILKIE TESTIMONIAL.
(THIS DAY.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

An adjourned meeting of the Committee appointed to
consider the best mode of commemorating The name of the
late Sir David Wilkie, was held this day at the Thatched
House tavern, St. James street, for the purpose of elect-
ing an artist to carry out the resolution agreed to at the
last meeting, for erecting a statue to the memory of that
distinguished and lamented artist.
Amongst those present.we noticed Sir R. Peel, Lord
Mahon, Sir P. Laurie, Sir Charles Forbes, Sir William
Newton, Sir M. A. Shee, Mr. Charles Dickens ("Boz"),
Mr. A. Cunningham, Mr. Landseer, the Bishop.of Llan-
daff, the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere, &c.
Sir R. PEEL took the char:, and said that it would be
• desirable to appoint a Sub-Committee for Cie purpose of
superintendine• the work of the artist who should
be selected by the meeting before the election took
place.—(Hear, hear.) He had a list of names, and he
hoped that no gentleman would object to serve upon the
Committee, as the duty would not be onerous. He
should therefore propose that the Sub. Committee should
consist; in addition to the already appointed officers,
of the Duke of Sutherland, the Duke of Buc-
clench, Lord Mahon, Sir Thomas Mahon, bir
Martin Archer Shee, Sir, William Newton, Mr.
Phillips, Sir Moses Montefrore,'Mr. Burnett,..Mr. Rogers,
and the Right lion. Henry Labouchere.
' The proposition was' agreed to.
The Bishop of 'LLANDAFF said that he had been- in
communication with Mr. Behnes, who was well known as
a distinguished artist, who had requested him to
propose his name. as a candidate, but owing to
an inadvertence on his (the Bishop of Liandaff's) part,
he had omitted to send his name to the Secretary. Ile
wished, therefore, to move that the name of Mr. Behnes
be added to the list-of candidates.

PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.)

ESCOTT V.. ALASTIN.
Their Lordships gave judgment in this case, which was ar-
gued last week, and which has excited so much
interest in the Church, and among the Dissenting.
bodies. It was an appeal from the Ecclesiastical
Court, in a suit against the. Rev. Mr. Escott,. Vicar of Gedney,
in Lincolnshire, for refusing to read the Burial Service over the
body of a child, the daughter of Thomas and Sarah
Cliff, on the 16th and 17th December, 1839, on the
ground that she was unbaptised—i. e. had - been bap-
tised by a Wesleyan Minister, which, according to the ap-
pellant's ccnstruction of the canons and.rubries of the Church,
amounted to no baptism at all. The foundation of the suit
was the Canon of 1603, entitled " Ministers nut to refuse to
Christen or Bury," by which it was ordained that " No minister
shall refuse or delay to christen any child according to the form
of the Book of Common Prayer, that is brought to the Church
to him upon Sundays or holidays, to be christened; or to bury
any corpse that is brought to the Church or Church-yard, con-
venient warning being given him thereof before, in such
manner and form as is prescribed in the said Book
of Common Prayer; and if he shalt refuse to christen
the one or bury the other (except the party deceased
were denounced, excommunicated, mijori excammunicatione,for
some grievous and -notorious crime, .and no man able
to testify of his repentance), he shall be: suspended by
the. Bist.ep of the diocese from his ministry by the space of
three months." The sentence of the Judge below was, " 7 hat
the Rev. Thomas Sweet Escott, Clerk, be accordingly suspended
for the.space of three months from all discharge and functions
of hts clerical offices:l'

Lord BROUGHAM, after disposing of a preliminary objection
to the incompetency of some of the witnesses, on the ground
that they had done acts subjecting them to excommunication,
went at great length into the arguments on the part of the ap-
pellant, on which it was contended that baptism by a person
who had not received episcopal ordination, was of no more
effect than baptism by a layman, and that laymen were forbid-
den, by the 'canons and rubrics, from performing this site ; that
consequently the rite so performed was invalid, and
the person receiving it unbaptised, and if so, the
ministers of the Church were not only justified in refusing
to reed the burial service in such a case, but were bound to
do so under severe penalties. Their Lordships were of opinion
that taking Wesleyan and other ministers, not episcopally or-
dained, to have ne more authority to baptize than laymen
there was nothing in the Canon of 1603, •or the Rubrics of
Edward the Sixth and Elizabeth, to show that. lay baptism was
invalid. There were passages in each which showed that cases
were contemplated, in which the attendance of a cler-
gyman could not be procured from want of time,
or distance of place, and although Icy persons were subject to
ecclesiastical censures if they obtruded themselves unneces-
sarily into this or any other office of the Church, it was plain
that the rite was valid by whomsoever administered, if
done in the prescribed form, viz., by the sprinkling of water,
and in the name of the Trinity. This had been declared
expressly and repeatedly by competent authorities, and amongst
others by Bishop Hooker, in his "Ecclesiastical Polity." It
had been contended that the Act of Uniformity. (13th
and 14th of Charles the Second) and the changes in
the Rubric which then took place, hail had the effect
of making lay baptism altogether invalid, but no such inten-
tion was expressed; and as the old and the new regulations
might very well stand together, their Lordships were of
opinion that the old ecclesiastical law upun this
subject remained unaltered. That this was not re-
pugnant to the principles and usages of the Church
was clear front the case of marriage, which was a
Sacrament in the Romish Church, and yet that rite might be
performed by laymen both in Protestant and Catholic
countries. In England it had been so until the Marriage
Act of the 26th of George 11., and was so in Scotland to
this day. After going very ably and elaborately into the other
poitts, his Lordship concluded by expressing their Lordship?
strong disapprobation of the language in which a judg-
ment of Sir John Nichol in a former case (in which he
had come to the same conclusion) had been spoken of by
the appellant, and "other reverend persons," and Which
he could only ascribe to " that heat of temper which is
unfortunately too commonly found in theological controver-
sies;" and stated that the sentence of the Court below must be
affirmed with costs.

• Sir PETER LAURIE said he was sorry to oppose any
proposition of the Right Rev. Prelate, but a resolution
was come to at the last meeting that the name Of no
candidate could be received after the 25th June.
After a short conversation it was decided that the
name of Mr. Behnes could not be admitted. -
Mr. STURM said he wished to obtrude himself on the
meeting for a•feW moments. He had had the honour of
proposing the name of Arr. Bailey as one of the candi-
dates. At the last • meeting some allusion wa,,-; made to
Mr. Bailey refusing to sign an address .• of
condolence to the sister: and other' relatives
of Sir David Wilkie, proposed at the Royal Academy.
He (Mr. Sturch) wished to read a letter which he
had received from Mr. Bailey, stating the rea-
son of his objections, which were, that the
same compliment had not been paid to the
relatives of West, Lawrence, Flaxman, Stoddart, and
others, who had shed such lnstre on their country. Ile
thought it just. to that artist to state ,these fact,F, lest
prejudice sh.)uld get abroad with respect to -Mr: Bailey.
The following artists were then proposed, and a ballot
commenced, viz., Mr. E. H. Bailey', Mr. Thomas Camp-
bell, Mr. H. Weeks. Mr. J. 0. Lough,' Mr. M. L. Wat-
son, Mr. W. Marshall, and Mr. E. Joseph
The ballot had not terminated when we went to press:

THOANTON V. EVNG--THE GURNEY AFFAI rt.

This was an Actiott- for -libel, -arising_ out of the well-
. known qproey affair,. , The case appeared to excite. consider-
able interest in, sporting circles. The Duke of Bedford, the-
Duke of 'P9rtlatid, the Duke'of Richmond, Lord. G. ffentinck,.
and sevet tither noblemen and gentlemen occupied seats on.
the ben& tiglilhe Chit f Baron:-
f' Thetmitinfaetkir the ca:e 'are so well-knOWn to most of our
readers that >wb shall only- refer to them very briefly. Mr.
Gurney,l.wholad nominally' lost and won large sums on the
Lpaom races of 1841, was- unable to meet his losses m eonse--;
quence of various parties not having paid his claims upon
them. ,4 nember of gentlemen afterwards undertook to pay
his creditors,-;atul. to those gentlemen it. was directed,
by a reiPitition4 the JoekeySlub, that the sums.won by Mr.
,Gurney'should behanded over... Among the debtors of Mr. Gur-
ney was;ltte.. Thorhton, the present plaintiff, fur a suhrof 1,35 t 1.
For' 'thi amount Mr: Thornton delivered to the a,,signees of
"Mr. bills of exchange, with the 'condition that they
should be iiettrieed if the-creditors of Mr. Gurney were not
paid in full by a certain' date. It appeared that the
`condition had not • -teeni..complied with to the letter ;
and Mr; Thornton recovered back in consequence the
amount ,of the bills he had given, by a decision
of the Court of Exchequer. The Stewards of the
Jockey Club, however, namely. Colonel flyug, the Duke of
Bedford; and Colonelwho, are. the deiend.nts in the
present ease, were dissatisfied with the conduct ‘.l Mr. Thom n •
ton, to whom they sent, through their secretary, the. follow- ,
ing letter, which was also published in the London newspapers :
" 7, Oxendon-street, Feb. 25, 1642.

CIA,—As you failed to appear when summoned on the 9th
instant, and have not" laid the sum of VOL, whch you
owe to Air. Gurney on his Epsom account, I am direced
by the Stewards of the Jockey Club, to give you notice that you
will not be permitted to come into the Coffee-room Yard at
Newmarket, nor upon the race-course there, until the bets due
from you to Mr. Gurney, in respect of which you have been
declared a defaulter, shall be certified to have been paid ; and
that if you disc egard this notice it will be enforced against you
by legal process. I am directed to add, that infirmation of
this notice having been served upon you has been sent to
Messrs. Tattersall.

" The stewards at the same time expressly desire to have it
understood, that they do not take into their core:ieleration
any contract or agreement involving legal liabilities be-
tween you and any other parties, nor any of the
consequences thereof; still less do they presume to impugn or
question any decision of a Court of Law thereupon. It is
sufficient for them that you have made bets upon a race,
and that having lost those bets you have refused
to pay them and when it has been decided by the
Jockey Club, that you are bound to pay what you have lost,
you set that decision at defiance. You are, therefore,
according to the practice of the Turf, a defaulter,
and as such the Stewards deem it their duty,
not only in vindication •of their authority, but as
an example as well as a protection to others, to exclude you
from all places in the occupation or under the jurisdiction of
the Jockey Club. 1 am, Sir, &c.
" Richard Thornton, Esq. " C. WEATHERBY."
This letter, as published in the Times and other journals,
formed the ground of the present action for libel, brought by
the plaintiffs.

Air. Weatherby, the Secretary to the Jockey Club was called
by the Counsel for the plaintiff, and admitted in his evidence
that Mr. Thornton had not been summoned to attend
certain meetings of the Club at which his case was inquired
into ; and this appeared to be contradictory to the general un-
derstanding on such a subject. '1 he witness, in the course
of a long examination, . also submitted that some rules
of the Club were improperly worded, or that they had not, at
least, Leen followed out in practice.
The Duke of Richmond, Lord George Bentinck, and
other witnesses, stated that it was not the prac-
tice on the turf to pay betting-men who did not meet
their own debts. They had never known an instance until
the case of Mr. Gurney, in which assignees hail
been appointed to settle the accounts of a defaulter.
Mr. Thornton was the first 'person, to their kfiowiedge. who
had ever been published in the newspapers as a defaulter on
the turf.

The case for the plaintiff had not concluded at the hour o
our going to press.

INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY

IN RE DANIEL DRITTEN.

The insolvent's petition had been heard on the 15th ult.,
when the hearing was adjourned for the purpose of producing
the lease of certain premises in Basinghall-street, and rendering
an account of some furniture and other property. It may be
recollected, from the rept,rt in The Sun of that date, that he
had carried on a very extensive business as a caland,rer and
packer, in Tenter-street, under the firm of Perrott and Co.,
and had become bankrupt for the sum of 25,0001. Assignee,
having been appointed under the fiat, the insolvent instituted
several actions against them in forma pauperis, by which they
were put to an expense of upwards of 2,5001.
Mc. COOKE, who appeared in support of the insolvent's peti-
tion, read an order made by Mr. Justice Vaughan, by which
the insolvent was released from the claims of certain parties
who represented the mortgagees of the property in Basinghall-
street, upon his paying the sum of 2001., and then contended
that, with such an order produced in Court, it was idle to offer
further opposition to his discharge, unless the whole case, from
the date of the issuing of the fiat in bankruptcy, was cpened up
anew. . .

Bourdelai, who was required on the former day to appear
in Court with the lease and other documents cont,ecied with
the bankruptcy, not being in attendance, the furth-r hearing of
the case was ordered to stand over to Monday.
In a short time, however, 11r. Cooke announce.l that such
an arrangement had been entered into between all the pan,

He was then ordered to be sworn and discharged forthwith.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—Ihe general dul-
ness of all branches of the hosiery trade still increa,es, arid of
course the destitution of all employed. The silk glove branch,
which, after the frightful depression in 1835 (arising from the
loss of the French bobbin net trade), had suddenly increased,
and more than doubled the usual number of hands employed,
has for the last two years been grodually subsiding to its
former number. The number of Frenchmen employed in
making bobbin-net is now computed at near 4,000, and the
English bobbin-net workmen in France, at near I,sCO3.making
about 5,500 workmen engaged in working about 3,100 nal-
chines ; whilst "in England the workmen do not exceed 3,500,
working less than 2,000 machines ; of which, about 1,300 are
in the midland counties, principally in Nottinghamshire and
Derbyshire. the bobbin-net trade being nearly extinct in the
county of Leicester.—Notttnghamjournal.
The Flax Spinners of Leeds met yesterday, and
resolved to memorialize. the Lords of the Treasury, re-
specting the very serious effects of the recent •Ordon-
'lance of the French Government on the linen trade of
England, and requesting Government to endeavour, by a
commercial treaty involving mutual concessions, to avert
the calamity. We regret, but we are not surprised to
learn, that it is feared the flax spinners of Leeds, who
have never yet worked short time, and have never re-
duced wages, will be obliged at the approach of winter
to run their mills only four and a half or five days in the
week.—Leeds Mercury.
The Moniteur Parisien mentions a report that the
correspondence of Louis Napoleon, recently seized at
Boulogne, comprises about 9,000 letters written to or re-
specting Prince Louis by various persons, on the occa-
sion of the two attempts which have conducteJ him first
to America and next to Ham.

IRELAND.
THE MARCHIONESS OF WATERFORD.
(From the Nenagh Guardian of June 30.)
The Marquis himself is very seriously injured—some of big
ribs are broken, and one of his arms is dislocated. Much fear
is entertained of the internal injuries which he has received in
the lall.
CLON3IEL, TUESDAY' EVENING.--The reports to-day state '
that the Marchioness of Waterford is " a little better." It is •
also asserted that if she recovers she will be much disfigured.
She was a most exquisite beauty.
(From the Waterford bhronicle of June 30.)
On Tuesday we expressed a hope, whichninv, thanks be to
God, is realised, that we should on this day have the pleasure
of 'announcing that the Noble and amiable Lady of Curragh.
more was beyond all danger ;- such is the pleasing and gratify-
ing fact. The following bulletin was issued on Tuesday
ing by the faculty in attendance:—
" Curraghmore, Tuesday morning, half-past nine o'clock.
• " Lady Waterford passed a tranquil night, is sensible of all
surrounding objects, and is progressing as well as can be es'
peeted.
"J. F. PURCELL, M.D. JOSIAH SiiirLY,
JOHN BRISCOE, M.D. JOHN CUSACK, M.D.".
Since writing the above, we have received a copy of the fol-
lowing bulletin : •
" Curraghmori, Wednesday morning, ten o'cloek•
" The Marchioness of Waterford has passed a quiet night'
complaining of some pain in her head, but is free from fever'.
[Signed as above]." •
Lord and Lady Stuart de Rothesay, the father and mother
of the Marchioness, and some other members of the Nom'
Lord's family, are exyected at Curraghmore this week. . •
