The Case OF Henry ID. stone.


The case involving the affairs of Henry D.
Stone, which was on trialia the Supreme Court
has been decided. 1t was the case of the Graf
ton Bank VS.. William NJ Bickford ct al. The
decision is,-that the Judge Of Insolvency fol
the county of Hampshire had no jurisdiction
that all the proceedings in relation thereto
were erroneous and invalid and that the in
junction originally granted, and as prayed for
in the bill, be made perpetual. a rescrlpt to
this effect has been sent to the Clerk for the
county of Worcester. This decision delivers
over the claims of Mr.. Stones creditors to I'M
certainty and confusion. As all the proceed
ings in insolvency are thus made void, the
sale of the factory property was also Illegal
and void Those who bought it have their ii
tie to it invaldated and are subject to serious
embarrassment. This condition of affairs will
of course give rise to variety of new pro-
ceedings in the courts.
The decision rendered in this case is very
important, not only as it affects Mr.. Stone and
those interested in his estate, but also in Its
bearing on many other insolvency cases in this
county, in which the warrants were issued by
Judge Hodges, of Hampshire county. 1t is
decision which many innocent persons will
feel like crushing blow of injustice. 1t
is probably according to the letter of the
law but it would seem to Be more according
to equity, if it did not ruin greatly njure I'M
offending and honest men who have aimed to
comply with all the acquisitions of law. An
opposite decision would have protected the
rights of many such persons without doing
harm to anybody. We understand that the
factory property of Mr. Stone, which was sold
by the assignees, was attached, last Saturday
evening, by some of the creditors and, also,
that several writs were to be served upon
Stone himself ON the arrival of the Small
hours" this morning.

powers cannot disown the incontestible rights
OF the Holy See to the legations; nevertheless,
it Is probable that they will not be of opinion
that you should have recourse to foEce to sub
Ject them. For, if that subsection were OBJ
tanned by the aid of foreign troops, it would
imply the military occupation of the legations
Tor long time. This occupation would keep
alive the hatreds and resentments of a great
portion of the Italian people, as also the Jeal-
ousy of the great powers this would be, then,
to perpetuate state of irritation, distrust, and
fear.
What remains, then, to be done, for this
state of uncertainty cannot last forever! At
ter serious consideration of the difficulties
and dangers which the different combinations
present. say it with sincere regret and
painful as the conclusion may be, that the So
luton which appears to me most comfortable
to the true interests of the Holy See will be to
surrender the revolted provinces. If the Holy
Father, for the sake of the peace of Europe,
should give up these provinces, which for fifty
years have been great embarrassment to his
government, and it, in exchange, he should re-
quest the great powers to guarantee to him
the possession of the remainder, do not doubt
of the immediate restoration Of tranquility.
Then the Holy Father would insure to CRATE
full Italy peace for many years, and to the Holy
See the peaceful possession OF the states OF the
church.

the sentiments which animate me. You will

j. G. GANGooLY, the converted Brahmin.
yesterday, addressed Rev. Mr. Shippen's con-
gregation in the forenoon and Rev. Dr. Hills
in the afternoon. He recounted the benefit of
the Indian mission, and told the story of his
conversion to Christianity in simple and d.
rect way which won the deepest interest of his
listeners. He conveyed some idea of the i'm
passabIe social gulf which forever separated
the Christian convert from his friends, kin
dred, and household of the ancient Hindoo
faith Mr.. Gangooly is first caste Brahmin
and man Of liberal education. He says one
OF the chief obstacles in the missionary's path
in India is to satisfactorily combat the argu-
mentative Hindoo young men of the higher
castles who are always pleased to freely discuss
the merits of their ancient faith as compared
with Christianity. 1t is very hard work to
effect progress in convincing these men that
there is better faith than theirs However
the Unitarian missionary, Mr.. Dali, now in
India, is making some progress with this class
of reasoners, and he confidently thinks he shall
be enabled to approach them also on his re.
turn, which will occur in few months. Both
churches took up liberal contributions in aid
of the mission in India.

REV. Mr.. Richardson's pulpit 1.-THE Salem
street church, was supplied yesterday by Rev
George Allen of this city. In the morning he
preached an able and well-considered discourse
from the text-"Through Thy precepts l get
understanding therefore l hate every false
way" In the afternoon he preached from the
text-"For by it the elders obtained good
report" After showing the nature of Chris
tian faith, he proceeded in very clear and i'm.
pressive manner to consider some of the illus
trious instances mentioned in the chapter from
which the text was taken In commenting on
the faith of Moses, he incidentally alluded to
American slavery, and in eloquent language
predicted time when similar necessity of
checking the increase Of slave population
might and would naturally lead to such a
slaughter of the new born children of slave
mothers, as in Egypt resulted in the exposure
of the infant Moses. The argument would
be, the life of the master is of more value than
the life of the slave.
His discourse was listened to with the closest
attention by the thinking portion of the audi
ence.
