it is worth while to consider for a moment whether
'he weight of depravity altogether rests with the Lay

conduct and its probable consequences, of the persons
*horn the People are taught to regard as models,
when these directors of their actions choose to as-
sume another character. Some of these guides of
the popular conduct and opinion have lately endea.
voured in the holy duty of addressing their audiences
preparatory to the solemn business of investigating
and deciding upon offences against the laws and
peace of society, to dilate strongly on the crime
of seeking political Reform—a seal that might be
mused in a Churchman, who looks with sp..
prehension to the diminution of the Tythe and
Preferment System ; but it most excite another
feeling, we should think, when Preachers of the
Gospel and well-beneficed Clergymen, the fathers of
families, are seen taking their place at the bar among
criminals of the lowest description, and obtaining
their acquittal from the responsibility of their crimes
by mere legal quibbles, or defects in the indictment.
We allude particularly, for it might not to peas
without a remark, to the report of the . trial et the
Northumberland Aesizes, for seduction, viz. Cies
versus CLeolc, which we gave on Saturday last,
where a father failed in obtaining damages against a
Clergyman, 50 years of age, of the above name, for
the seduction of his daughter, apparently merely be-
cause he laid his claim, as the law directs,
for loss of service:, and the girl was proved
to have been in the service of another ! No
stripling in the hey-day of his blood and passion,
if we may judge by the detail, ever went about his
criminal intent with more deliberate art and per-
fidious assiduity than the deceitful sod hoary.
headed seducer in question, whose conduct cannot
bat have excited disgust in every honourable mind,
and increased compassion for the late of his victim.
The action, it seems, could not be maintained its con-
sequence of the illegality we have mentioned, and
thus the Reverend Seducer avoids being compelled to
make the reparation he ought; but it is to be hoped that
though hethus escapes making the compensation deeto
parental feelings, and for loss of female chafed...and
expectations, the Read of the Church, whose duty it
peculiarly is to take cognizance of such conduct, will
see the indispensable necessity of visiting this breach
of moral propriety with the punishment it deserves.
The injury done to the character of that Ministry
-whose best and indispensable trait is purity, will not
be so easily repaired ; and the consequences to the
cause of morality from such disgraceful outrages upon
virtue in those who' should be its most zealous
guardians, are still farther beyond the reach of our
calculation.

Monatomic'''. have been received tm.day at Lloyd's
of outrages es n commercial vessels by the buc.

noticev:—

brought letters from the shove island to tbeind June,

ing furs taken place in the neighbourhood of Valen-
cia, and that the infantry of both parties has been
completely tut ep. The Patriots, who are obliged
to obtain their supplies by a long and devious route,
had exhausted the whole of their ammunition by such
iriquent battles, into some of the last of which they
entered with only six rounds a man. Owing to this
tircomstance, sod the approach of the rainy seasons,
they have been compelled to fall back oo their re-
sources, being unable to act with cavalry only in the
mountainous country that ranges near the sea coast.

We certainly mach dislike to hear of Clergymen,
either as plaintiffs or defendant., in a Court of 'Jus-
tice, and the instances are very rare in which they
can appear to advantage. We owe it, however, to
duty and impartiality .to observe, that a case of
rather a singular nature has lately been heard in the
Court of Chancery, in which a Clergyman was De-
fehdant; the impression made upon our minds
at the time was mach to hisdisadsantage, and we ex-
pressed our opinion accordingly. We particularly
allude to the Case of GEE v. PRITCHARD, in which
en Injunction was greeted to suppress the publication
of the Plaintiff's Letter,. By information lately
received upon that subject from respectable Bathe-
city, we have reason to believe that the who's's( the

The Paris Papers to Saturday last hue reached

imprisoned conspirators. Weasels suspect that this
