Pleas, the trial OF which was begun ON Mon
Gay, by the wife of the notorious Isaac Ryn-

ETERNITY OF PUNISHMENT DIsowNRD by
ENGLISH CHURCHNEN.-In addition to the SER
mon lately preached at the Chapel Royal by
Rev. Charles Kingsley, several other clergy-
raen OF the Church of England have published
their disbelief in the eternal punishment OF
the wicked. The London Patriot of March
goth says -" Mr.. T.. r. Litton, NJ A; the Rev
Thomas Davis, NJ. A, incumbent of Round
hay, and the Rev. John Barton, VI. A, curate
OF RIvenhall, Essex, all contend that the natu-
raj immortality Of the soul cannot be estab-
lished either by reason or Scripture: that eter-
nal life Is conferred by God through Christ
upon the redeemed, and that the wicked are
destined literally 10 perish. We have heard.
though we are somewhat doubtful of the au-
thority, that Mr.. Barton has been called to ac-
count for his book by the Bishop OF Rochester:

THE REVENUE CASE AT BUFFALo.-In the
revenue case decided by Judge Smalley, at
Buffalo, N. Y, on Wednesday, it appears that
Mr.. Brown was summoned before the as
SCISSORS OF the thirtieth district in July, 1865,
and required to testify in regard to the income
returns made by him in 1862 and 1858, and the
special income tax of 1861. The assessor
claimed that Mr.. Brown was the owner of
Sl2U,OOO in railway bonds at the time stated
while he returned an income of only S15,OOe
MIR. Brown stated that he had sold bonds, but
refused to inform the assessor TO whom he had
sold them. Mr.. Brown was brought up on an
attachment before the judge, who was TO de-
eide whether he was bound to give the infor-
nation demanded. After full argument by
counsel, Judge Smalley decided that the four
teenth section OF the revenue law had no re-
troactive effect that the assessor, having re :.
turned his list OF assessments TO the collector,
has no power to institute fresh inquiry, or
compel the production Of books and papers.
He says there should be some limit of time be-
yond which this ing ulsitorial power of the as
SCISSOR TO examine into the private business
transactions of every person should not be ex-
ercised. 1t follows that the assessor had no
authority to call Brown before him when he
did, and that Brown was under no obligations
TO answer any question put TO him. Judge
Smalley holds further that, if fraudulent re-
turns are made, the remedy is by indictment
under the fifteenth section, or for perjury under
the forty-second section Of the revenue act
Brown was ordered TO be DISCHARGED United

Government, and the Hon. John Ganson for
