EVIDENCE OF PRIESTS IN CRIMINAL CASES
PRIvHEGEs or THE CoNFEssIoNM.---In another
| column will be found the report of the murder
| case which has just been tried in Richmond,
| Va, and which, owing to some novel features
| that it presented, seems to have excited good
deal of interest. II appears that the accused
| a man named Cronin--had grounds for believ-
ing that his wife had become too intimate with
person named Byron, and in q fit Of rage.
caused by finding the latter in company with
her he inflicted on the unfortunate woman Sc
we're injuries, Of which she sickened and died.
Previous to her decease she made several
statements denying her culpability, and affirm.
ing that she was prosecuted by the attentions
of Byron without there existing any favorable
disposition towards him on her part and that
al the moment her husband discovered her with
him, she. was actually sheltering herself from
his pursuit. On the part OF the defence, the
Rev. Mr.. feeling, Catholic clergyman, was
called, who stated that the deceased had de-
nied her guilt 10 him, in her husbands pre-
sence, and that on finding her about to make,
IN the usual sacramental form, confession,
he ordered the husband TO leave the room
Questions were then put by counsel to lay
ground for the introduction Of this confession
as evidence; but it appeared from the state
ment, not only of Mr.. feeling, but of the doc.
tor who attended the deceased, that there was
no reason to suppose that she felt herself in
extreme danger when she made it, In declia.
ing to answer to the interrcgatories put to him
in connection with her confession, Mr. feeling
took occasion to enter upon heightened ex-
position Of the doctrine and discipline Of the
Romish church, and declared that no power
on earth--not even the Pope himsclf-could
induce him to divulge the statements made to
him under the seal of that sacrament. The en-
ergy Of his language and the elaborate char
acter Of his explanations caused great sen.
sation in court; and the scene, according to

tralian government would be willing to pro-
vide work for the Spanish immigrants from
the day Of their arrival-so little do these
continental Europeans dream of independence.
He even found member of the Australian
Assembly to bring the matter before the House,
and to argue that it would be so great an ad-
vantage for the colony to have the Spanards
settled within it, that trifie might be paid to
each to encourage them. The matter is taken
up by writer in one OF the local journals and
handled with some ability. He shows that the
SpaDiards whom the government seeks to get
rid of are the old Carlists of the northern
provinces who are obnoxious to Isabella
governments thet at home they are ignorant,
idle, bigoted, and devoid of enterprise; that
they are rabid Catholics, while the colony is
mostly Protestant in short, that they would
be as great a nuisance as the Chinese. 1t up
pears, however, that this sentiment is not that
of the ruling powers. And we must not be sur
prised if we hear that Spain, which the geogra-
plies tell us is large thinly peopled country
with some twelve or thirteen millions of inha-
bitants, where there used to be far more, is SO

Australia, like cattle, at so much head
OF course the colony is thriving or there
would not be so much anxiety to get there.
Politics are quiet once more the home govern
ment having enough to do, for the time, with
the Russians. The gold supply keeps up !;
according to the official returns, the shipments
for the first six months of the year 1855 were
ffty-seven tons twelve cwt., equal in round
numbers to $27, 100000, while California
during the first nine months of the same year
has only shipped S3l 1897 ,63l.
GgN ScoTT AND His BACK PAY-MEAN Cox
DUCT OF THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the
morning papers having announced that, after
delay Of more than eight months, General
Scott's claim to the back pay &C., of a
lieutenantge general from the capture of Vera
Cruz, the date Of his brevet-now amounting
tor the eight or nine years to some forty
thousand dollars-had been fully allowed at
Washington, brought about the veteran, yes
terday forenoon, troops Of congratulating
friends. We have just seen one Of that crowd,
who himself had quite an audience in the
street, who represents the General as most in
dignant at the final decision, as it gives him
only about fourth of the above amount so
justly claimed by him, and which pittance he
will, we learn, reject with disdain, as was clear
ly foreseen and desired at Washington.
If we are rightly Informed, Attorney
General Cushing decided that the rank, pay
and emoluments of acknowledgement were
all, by the recent law, in favor Of Gen. Scott,
revived and re-established as they severally at
tached to ex-Presdent Washington in 1889
but that Secretary Davis, bitter personal
enemy of Gen. Scott, has had the influence to
defeat the intention Of Congress to the extent
above stated.
