The AchiIn and Newman Trial.

LosDos, June 25, 1852.
The political, religious and fashionable circles OF
modern Babylon have been startled by extraordi-
nary revelations made in the Court of Queens
Bench, Westminster, this week, before Lord Camp
bell. The pages Of the double sheets of all the
daily journals have been crowded every day with
full reports OF OF the most remarkable and one
of the most disgusting libel suits brought in
any court Of law. The chief parties in this
are the distinguished DR.. Newman and the we'll
known DR.. Achil. An action for libel brought
by Achlli against Newman has been the principal
topic OF the week amongst all classes. The ex-
Catholic priest Achii sometime ago became
Protestant. Newman, an OK Protestant clergy
man, left the Church of England and became 4
priest in the Church of Rome. Achif was born
in Italy and served the Pope. Newman was born in
England, and was shining light in the State
Church. The position of both men has been very
high. Achii was monk, prisoner OF the Inquisi-
ZION, and finally Protestant exile. Newman was 4
student at Oxford, Puseyite in the Church of
England, and now he is Papst. Achilli breaches
in Protestant chapel in London. Newman is
father of the Catholic Oratory in King William
street, Strand. Achilli in his lectures exposed
with damaging effect the plans OF the Roman Ca
Church of Rome. Newman as ably exposed the
private history Of Achli's monastic lte--in fact,
30 openly and fearlessy did he denounce him, and
accuse him of committing the most revolving and
heinous crimes, that Achih appeaied to the Court
of Queens Bench. A great number OF witpesscs,
male and female, were brought from Italy to prove
these alleged criminal acts. The evidence Of these
witness is SO disgusting that cannot make any
further allusion it. The lovers of scandal have
been feasted with the sckening accounts injured
innocence and character. am only surprised that
the respectable and heightened press OF this metro
polls should admit such filthy stuff in the court
ports The case may be termed fierce battle be-
tween the Church OF Englaad and the Church of
Rome, and not an ordinary CONTEXT between two
persons. The most distinguished representatives.
Of the English bar were retained on both sides,
and the costs Of the action will be enormous.
The court has been occupied every day since
Monday, and the not terminated till yes.
terday. The jury were out nearly three hours, and
when they returned into court they were asked If
they had agreed on a verdict The foreman an
swered that they found the 10Th charged proved,
and oil the rest not proved. The 10Th charge re-
fers to DR.. Achi's being deprived of his profess
sorship, and prohibited from preaching and hear
ing confession. Lord Campbell then directed a
verdict to be entered for the Crown; This YER
dict, which nominally clears off all the stains
upon DR.. Achilll's character, has caused much
surprise. The Times. in leading article today
Gays: 6" We feel that the scanduous and indc-
damage each other, have brought before the pub
lie eye, is likely to do more injury to the cause
of morality and religion than any sectarian
or, controversial triumph can possibly counter
balance. In portioning the blame of this public
| scandal It ia impossible to acquit DR.. Newman of
having been the deliberate cause of the revolving
conflict" The Times concludes its article with
| the remark that there Ia but one party who can
! gain by this controversy--a party to whom reli
gion is prestcraft, its ministers byprocries,
and its ceremonies mummeries. Such persons see
these things and snile for they know from this
| unchrstian conflict that both parties must arise
ueakcned and discredited, and that the only gain
er from such struggle will be, not the Protestant
| prosecutor, nor the Roman Catholic uccuser, but
| the infidel who sneers and the basphemer who
| scoffs at them BOTH The Morning Post says that
the verdict Of the jury simply means that tho plea
| Of Justification upon which DR.. Newman took his
stand not sufficiently supported; but the yer.
| dict by means involves expression on the
part of the court that DR.. Achili has proved him
self to be person Of moral character and deco
rous and respectable mode OF lifc 1t is not pos
sible to say that DR.. Achili stands before the
world high, pure, and immaculate character.

Good Hope to May 7. sharp and sanguinary
conflict had occurred between the 9th regiment
and large army OF Kaffirs. The latter were de-
| feated, with large number killed. The new CO.
vernor Cahcart, was about to leave with force Of
one thousand men on a secret expedition. IL was
supposed that he intended to surprise and capture

! pccting his integrity, was erecting scafiod 10

Governor to erect forts the mountain Businesses

them. Sandilhi, the chief Of the Katfrs had again
| sued for peace, but the Governor replied that he
would not treat with him while there was single

Cape papers greatly rejoice at this decison believ-

Central Africa and the Kaffir lands be annexed to

war, it is stated that some rebel Hottentots from
