THE WHIS.TON CASE

The long-disputed case between the Dean and Chapter
of Rochester and the Rev. Robert Whiston has been at
length brought to a conclusion, by the Visitor, the Lord

lei, uLderhig the former to cultt3tutv thc
latter in his office of Head Schoolltnaster on the Ist of

Bishop of Rocbe

January next. The following is a copy of

THE JU

4MENT

The Visitor having heard the appeal of the Rev. Robert
Whiston against the order of the Dean and Chapter of
Rochester for his removal from the head mastership of
their school, made on the 19th day of October, 1849,
declares that the pamphlet entitled Cathedral Trusts and
their Fulfilment, admitted to have been published by him,
and which formed the ground of that removal; contains
charges unjustly reflecting upon the conduct of the Dean
and Chapter, and is libellous, and that the appellant
might lawfully and justly be punished for it under the
cathedral statutes. But taking into consideration that
the appellant may have been in some degree misled by
legal opinions of high authority, though given on erro-
neous data, upon the main charge against the Dean and
Chapter of having illegally taken to themselves a dispro-
portionate share of the revenue of the cathedral property ;
and considering, also, that some of the statutes of the
cathedral had not been carried into strict execution,
though such disuse may have been sanctioned by practice
prevailing during a long series of years, and in one respect
by the opinion of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Visitor further declares that the appellant shall, on the
Ist of January now next ensuing, be reinstated in his said
office of Head Schoolmaster, with all the emoluments ap-
pertaining thereto ; but that he shall have no right or
claim against the Dean and Chapter, or any one else, for
any profits or emoluments accruing from the said 19th
day of October, 1849, the day of his removal from the
said office, up to the Ist day of January next, the Visitor
being of opinion that the appellant justly deserved to be
suspended during the time aforesaid ; and he directs him
to be restored on the Ist day of January next, on this
condition, and not otherwise ; and the Visitor having ob-
served that the charges unjustly made against the Dean
and Chapter in the beforementioned pamphlet have been
repeated in several subsequent editions published since
the first commencement of these proceedings, thinks it
right earnestly to caution the appellant against the repe-
tition of these charges in any subsequent publication, as
the appellant will not have the same excuse of his having
been misled as to the legal rights of the Dean and Chap-
ter, which has been the main reason why the Visitor has
been induced to mitigate the sentence of removal. Dated
this 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord 1852.

FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.

It is now confidently stated that the Pope of Rome
will come to Paris to, perform the ceremony of consecra-
tion; whether it be fixed for the month of December or
the month of May next is not certain ; but in the event of
his arrival nothing will be omitted to render the ceremony
as imposing as possible. Many prelates from France and
from other Romanist countries will, it is anticipated, at-
tend the consecration, and add to the splendour of the
Pontifical train.

The project of erecting Algeria into a vice-royalty is
more than ever talked of, and is, it seems, one of those
on which the President is particularly tenacious. Prince
Lucien Murat is again spoken of as the future viceroy.
This is not the only plan in contemplation with reference
to the development of the natural resources of the colony,
as Louis Napoleon meditates the organisation of an asso-
ciation on a grand scale, in some respects similar to that
of the East India Company.
It is rumoured that an Imperial Guard of 10,000 men,
to be formed from the select battalions of the army, will
be organised soon after the Imperial election. The title
of " Excellence" has, it appears, become already usual in
the despatches transmitted from one minister to another.
The Moniteur published on Tuesday a decree con-
voking the Senate for the 4th of November. The fol-
lowing are the words in which the Moniteur makes the
announcement :—" The striking manifestation which has
just taken place throughout France in favour of the re-
establishment of the Empire imposes on the Prince-
President of the Republic the duty of convoking the
Senate. The Senate will assemble on the 4th of Novem-
ber next. If the result of its deliberations advises a
change in the Government, the senates consultum which
.it shall have adopted will be submitted to the ratification
of the French people. In order to give to this great act
all the authority which it ought to have, the Legislative
Body will be called on to decide on the regularity of the
votes, to examine them, and to declare the result of
them."
It is stated that a complete agreement does not exist
among the senatorial body on the subject of the succes-
sion, and that it is certain that some of them entertain a
decided objection to the family of the ex-King of West-
phalia, Jerome Bonaparte. In certain circles it is be-
lieved that a decision may have already been come to,
and that this decision is in favour of a son of the Prince
of Canino, now at Rome, but who will soon be brought
to Paris for his education, as the heir presumptive of the
Empire.
Medals are already being hawked about at an insigni-
ficant price, bearing the effigy of the Prince, as Napoleon
111., Emperor of the French.
It was rumoured on Thursday that another envoy will
be appointed to proceed to Rome to solicit the Pope to
come to Paris to crown the Emperor in January. April
or May had been mentioned in consequence of the reluc-
r• • •

tance of the Pope to travel in winter, or rather of his ob.
jection to call upon his Cardinals, most of whom are old
and infirm, to take so long a journey at that season of

LAC year.
The Belgian Alinister at Paris has informed the Minister
for Foreign Affairs officially, that the mission of M. de
Brouckere, to form a Cabinet, has failed, and that the
Church party has been applied to,
